A charming eatery on Shamrock Dr., 5 minutes from Garinger High School? Yep, Foskoskies is one of little places off the beaten path of the Queen City that is worth a visit.
I did takeout for a barbecue sandwich and black-eyed pea salad for lunch. As a native of eastern N.C., I love me some vinager-based minced pork (this is called barbecue)! There sandwich was substantial and the black-eye peas were savory. And they added a slice of watermelon and alfalfa sprouts...nice touch. Looking at the menu, the place is definitely New South cuisine. You'll find a lot of Southern and Cajun staples, like fried chicken, dressed up with fancier sides and even some *gasp* French names.
The decor is classy and reflects the historical character of Country Club Heights (no, its not located Plaza-Midwood or NoDa). The staff were attentive and the dinner menu looked enticing. Can't wait to taste their Sunday brunch.
