STOP!
Yep, stop and get in there. This was such an amazing dinner. To be fully honest, I was not sure what to expect but this place was just great.
First they have a large selection of whiskeys and bourbons. That never hurts, but then there was the menu. Not a deep menu but one that had a few items that interested us.
We ended up ordering a half dozen oysters, a veggie platter and a teres major. I am not an oyster person, at all, but I indulged my partner and agreed to go for it since they were cooked and covered with bacon and parmesan cheese. Well, that wasn't bad at all. Then came the steak, cooked perfectly with a nice sauce and some home style potatoes. Yeah, that was good.
Ok, so let's talk about that veggie platter. What the hell? Well, yep, someone figured out how to pille on a bunch of veggie and make it tasty as F##K. Well balanced, full of flavors, from brussel sprouts (not soggy or bitter) to snapy and yummy carrots, from ear of corn to celery slaw, from grilled asparagus to collard greens. This was awesome, and yes, I am the guy that normally shies away from vegetables.
Going from Birmingham AL to Memphis TN this was the perfect spot to stop. Try it out folks!
PS: we did also gave in and tried the strawberry shortcake. No regrets AT ALL! ;-)
