| - Deviled Eggs ($10): Dill, chive, and smoked trout roe. Delicious deviled eggs and of course, happy with the topping of trout roe. Yum!
Fried Green Tomato BLT ($14): House-smoked pork belly, smoky tomato jam, frisée, pimento cheese, and pickled lemon vinaigrette. These are great bites with a little of everything and a very cool mash-up of fried green tomatoes and BLT sandwiches.
Kale Salad ($13): Vermont sharp cheddar cheese, apples, cornbread croutons, house-made moonshine raisins, and cider vinaigrette. I love kale and I love kale salads, but this was not doing it for me. The sharp cheddar really overpowered everything else, so no other flavors could shine.
Virginia Ham Biscuits ($14): Mama's Biscuits with Virginia ham and Vermont sharp cheddar cheese. These are great! The biscuits are fluffy and delicious and the ham and cheese was perfect. I would love to try all the other biscuit combinations.
Swine Burger 2.0 ($18): Short rib, brisket, and chuck blend, house smoked pork belly, house pickles, smoked Gouda cheese, pickled onions, and frisée. This burger, although tasty, was a little overwhelming for me and a bit salty. There was a lot going on with the burger patties, pork belly, and Gouda.
Chicken 'n' Watermelon 'n' Waffles ($36): Honey hot sauce, chilled spiced watermelon, Vermont sharp cheddar cheese waffle, and bourbon maple syrup. The fried chicken is good. Admittedly, not my top fried chicken, but really damn good. The waffle is amazing. I'm not going to hate on any waffle that has cheese in it! The honey hot sauce and the bourbon maple syrup and both phenomenal. This is a solid Chicken and Waffles.
House Fries ($8): Tossed in bacon salt and served with housemade buttermilk ranch. Bacon. Salt. They crisp up bacon, finely crush it, and mix it in with salt. Then, these already delicious fries are covered in this heavenly concoction. It's really good stuff. Also, I'm a huge fan of buttermilk ranch, but you don't need it with these fries.
Hummingbird Cake ($10): Cream cheese icing, banana pecan ice cream, caramelized pineapple. I love hummingbird cake because I love pineapple, bananas, and pecans. The dehydrated pineapple was a nice touch on top of this cake. It's too bad they don't have this on their menu anymore!
Banana Pudding ($10): Rum-soaked banana cake, chantilly cream, fresh bananas, vanilla wafers, and house made banana chip. Another favorite of mine and done really well. Yes to all of it.
Southern food with a twist of creativity and sophistication. Fun environment with an open kitchen. Service was phenomenal!
