“We’re so happy to be here at FSU Panama City, and we’re super-excited by the welcome,” Anastazia said. “We hope everyone will stop by to try our famous fry bucket!”
In addition to the smothered fries, the café offers a refillable bucket of seasoned fresh-cut fries for $10. Keep the bucket and bring it in for refills for only $5.
