“This casual eatery offers a small but delicious menu of all-American classics. The fried shrimp platter, bone-in pork chop with mac and cheese, and rib-eye steak with fries are just a few of the reasons why guests love this spot,” said LoveFood.
LoveFood also describes brunch as “indispensable.”
“Think fluffy beignets, breakfast cheeseburgers, and chicken and waffles with maple syrup.”
