Food scene
Great brunch restaurant! Saturdays and Sundays can get packed, so I would go earlier or be prepared to wait. The shrimp and grits are slamming, along with their mimosas.

Has awesome southern fare. Barbecue brisket is a must, and do get the biscuits for dessert. They are scrumptious. They also have amazing prohibition style cocktails.

2 miles away. Wonderful local market. Like shopping in New York local spot. They have nice selection at great prices. Also they have great cheese selection and authentic Italian pasta and sauce. The deli sandwiches are delicious.
Please note - - - if they don’t have something in out front always ask if it is in stock as there could be items in the back of the store. They also do some deliveries.
