Gift Tips
- Reserve or call ahead if you want to guarantee a slice of their rotating cheesecake — popular flavors sell out quickly.
- Order the fried shrimp basket if you want generous portions and a lightly breaded, crisp finish.
- Try one of the hearty burgers (including bison options) for a filling, well-prepared meal — the 10 oz burger is a dependable choice.
- Consider the blackened fish or fried artichoke items for a Southern-twist seafood option that pairs well with their fries.
- Plan for a short wait during peak times and bring patience — the small, busy kitchen turns out high-quality plates even when crowded.
- Ask about the daily specials and specialty sandwiches, since the menu changes and often includes solid lunch options.
- Consider the boxcar fries or drunken boxcar fries as a hearty side with burgers or sandwiches.
- If you want something lighter, the salads and chicken wrap are strong picks and still come in generous portions.
