West End Trading Company -Food CA (Near Sanford)

Joe Gearhart Passed by this place countless times but never thought to try it out until this afternoon. What have I been missing?!? Pretty small place that seemed packed on a Thursday afternoon. The food was phenomenal and the staff friendly and helpful. Chicken pita was probably the best I’ve ever had. If you’re on the fence about this place, just try it. You won’t regret it!

Allison Taylor We were on a road trip and the kids wanted to get subway. We came here the pilot and our experience was not good. The person who made our food was so surly, no smile, not patience. I asked for a salad and she said we don’t cut the meat for that, ok? It was so rude I was stunned. I’m gluten intolerant and don’t have a choice. Every other subway automatically cuts the meat. Then she was so unwelcoming I didn’t feel like I could bother her by saying I want some extra salt and pepper and oil and vinegar so I just left and had a salad I had to cut double BMT meat with a plastic knife and hardly any dressing. Unimpressed.

Michael Sullivan Jin Jins is a straight fire, go to, never fails you restaurant. If you go at peak hours during lunch and dinner you’ll find one of the freshest most affordably delicious Chinese Buffets around. If you stumble in, not during peak hours, and the buffet doesn’t look too hot, just order a fresh plate to go and you won’t be sorry. They’ll also cook a fresh batch of anything on the buffet too if you need to Dine-in. Just make sure you eat plenty. Lol. They’re always super nice if you are. I recommend the Mexican chicken for a bit of spice, sesame chicken for a bit of sweet, the cream shrimp, ofcourse the fried rice and lo mein noodles, and cream cheese wontons w the red sweet and sour sauce. I’ve had alot of Chinese food from alot of different places and in comparison, Jin Jins has always delivered on taste and price. Highly Recommend.

Chenae Baker The food is always amazing. Their customer service is always on point. The quality and taste is definitely worth the price. I live 45 minutes away on a good day and drive to grants regularly because Ive never been disappointed. Definitely a 25/10

Divya Love Lori Wise After reading the great reviews, I took my mom out to late lunch here (around 3:30 pm) on a Monday for their buffet. It took a few minutes (10 -15) for the waitress to come to our table but once she made initial contact, her service was great. The lovely loyal patrons sitting at a nearby table saw it was our first time here and guided us in what to do while we were waiting on the waitress. The patron said service here was usually EXCELLENT, but that they must have been shorthanded that day. We made our way to the buffet and the selections were the best of down-home southern cooking that I have ever seen. From a fresh and bountiful salad bar to homemade Mac and cheese, collard greens, mashed potatoes, beef tips/gravy, rice, rolls, chicken n dumplings, lima beans, black eyed peas and some of the BEST fried chicken Ive ever had! They also had a nice variety of sweets: chocolate cake, white cake, pecan pie, bread pudding, banana pudding (that tasted exactly like my grandma used to make) and an ice cream machine complete with cones. Everything both my mother and I had was DELICIOUS! The ONLY critique I have is that the chicken n dumplings were a bit too salty, but seriously, pair them with a roll or some collard greens in the same bite and youre golden!! ;). We both cleaned our plates and I tried a bit of the banana pudding and white cake, both were PERFECT! The prices were also very reasonable and they also have senior discounts. By 4 pm, the place was PACKED! Hardly a single table was left in the place. To me, this is a great sign that the food and service are STELLAR and the local community is supporting this locally owned business. By all accounts, this restaurant is a MUST GO TO when you find yourself in Panama City, FL. You will NOT be disappointed at the service, the atmosphere (be sure to look UP to see the running train near the ceiling), the prices or the food. Everything was EXCELLENT and I will most definitely be back to enjoy their Friday Night Seafood Buffet (which the friendly local patron shared with me was phenomenal)!

Dr. Aleta V Ashford We stopped through for a hot meal while passing through the area. The food was delicious, but the service was even better. The staff was friendly and extremely welcoming. Our experience felt like we were eating at someones kitchen table.
