| - My husband is a sucker for Southern food being from the South and I am a convert for sure. The South just makes food that makes you feel like you are in someone's home enjoying a large family dinner. It truly is feel good comfort food!
Upon entering, the ambience was cozy like entering into a small hometown greasy spoon. The rustic chairs, glass table tops, hand towel napkins and local area photographs hanging along the walls give this place a personal touch.
We sat at the bar, which is customary for us. We were immediately greeted by Adam. I decided to be bold and ask if he knew the ABVs of the beers they have on tap. Normally, this question meets with a disappointing "No" that I have now grown accustomed to. To my surprise Adam was very knowledgeable of what they had and made a couple of suggestions. This ranks high in my book! It shows that the bartender took the time to know their products. Trust me, this goes a long way when encouraging sales and upsells. We decided on one of their high octane beers and, of course, were not disappointed.
Their menu had so many delicious bites that it was difficult to choose. Our eyes were drawn to their country sausage dip with chips as this was a refreshing change to the standards of salsa or spinach artichoke. The dip consists of sausage, heavy cream, parmesan and cream cheese. We ordered it to eat in. I am usually a dainty dip lady and rarely scoop. One taste of this sausage creamy goodness had me sold and I was scooping away! The chips were thick and crispy which is the way we like it. Adam noticed we were getting low on chips, and brought us more. We have been to places where they charge you additional for chips when not enough was given in the first place. We finished all the chips and my husband licked the spoon as licking the bowl may have been a bit much in public, lol! The sausage dip is a must have when coming here, its unique and absolutely fabulous!! I would come here just for this dish. It's seriously that good and can be used as a topping for biscuits, chicken or even pork.
We got their Local Dish Burger and coleslaw to go and gobbled it down as soon as we got home. Being back in the South, my husband has become a bit of a coleslaw connoisseur. Their coleslaw was crunchy, flavorful and, most importantly, not watery. Oh yeah, they have happy hour Mondays thru Fridays 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Its not much of a discount (.50 cents a beer), but, it is the first happy hour we experienced any where since moving here in November: And, we have visited our fair share of bar and breweries.
Bravo on the Southern fare! We will definitely be back.
