I came here on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm for a late lunch and was seated immediately. While the restaurant wasn't busy per se, it did have a steady stream of people coming and going. The dining area, while charming and inviting, was rather small with around 10-12 tables/booths. The decor was adorable with a cottage and beachy feel. Serene pastel green and blue paint coated the walls, with one wall covered with an assortment of mirrors of various shapes and sizes. The geometric artworks, funky fabrics, and mismatched chairs all added charm to this small establishment. The interior was a sharp contrast to the nondescript exterior which sits on a lot that looks a bit rundown. Don't let that scare you from coming in though because the food that awaits you inside is delightful, comforting, with a unique spin on southern flavors.
Now onto the food. We ordered the fried zucchini as our appetizer, shoestring fries, Two Lil' Pigs sandwich, Carolina sandwich, and the Brielicious sandwich with the soup of the day which was a chicken and rice chowder. Being the glutton that I am, I had to try everyone's food as well and each item was delicious! If I had to choose just one out of the three sandwiches for my next visit, it would be the Brielicious. The sandwich consisted of turkey, apple slices, brie cheese, pepper jelly, on a croissant roll. The components married well together and the pepper jelly added a nice sweetness and kick to the sandwich. All burgers and sandwiches are under $10 and comes with a side item with your choice of pasta salad, green salad, potato salad, french fries, potato chips or a cup of soup.
The appetizer and side items were my favorite part of the meal. The fried zucchini was very good. Though we did have a difficult time picking up each piece without the yummy panko crust falling off. I LOVE SHOESTRING FRIES! They were perfectly crispy and soft at the same time. I should have gotten two baskets to go. Get the fries! The soup, oh that soup. I woke up Sunday morning craving that soup. I wanted to call in an order only to find out they are closed on Sundays! Grrrrrrrr! The soup was so rich and creamy with nice size pieces of chicken and plenty of vegetables and rice. I imagine if I were deathly sick with the flu, this soup would have healing properties that can cure my ailment. Please, put this soup on your permanent menu.
When you've completed your meal and receive your check, you'll head back to the lobby area and pay at the register. There, a display of decadent baked good awaits you. Staring at you. Testing your will power to commit to your new year's resolution of losing those last five stubborn pounds that makes skinny jeans your worst enemy. If you're steadfast, you'll just pay the check and leave. I'm happy to say that I lack any and all will power when it comes to desserts and grabbed a cookie (or two, maybe three) before heading out the door. It was damn good, too. Shut up.
P.S. I realize that I've just written a novella of a review. Oh well.
