The Heart of the Menu

- Southern Sides: Gooey mac & cheese, savory greens, smoky baked beans, crisp slaw, creamy potato salad, buttery green beans, traditional Brunswick stew, and sweet, crumbly cornbread.
- Desserts: Homestyle banana pudding, spiced peach cobbler, rich chocolate brownies, and fresh-baked cookies.
- Drinks: Sweet and unsweet tea, homemade lemonade, and a full lineup of sodas.
Meals are available as individual plates or bundled family-style. Whether feeding one or fifty, every portion is generous and made to satisfy.
