Fan favorites on the menu:
Smores Martini
A definite fall favorite, the Smores Martini brings on the sweetness before moving on to a bold finish. This drink starts with the perfect mix of Irish crème and coffee. To that, they add rumchata plus marshmallow vodka to bring all the flavors together beautifully.
Pear-fect Evening
For all the best fall flavors in every sip, treat yourself to the Pear-fect Evening. This drink features pink gin mixed with both pear and lemon flavors. Then, to take those elements to the next level, they add spiced syrup right before serving.
The Cure
When hearty breakfast fare starts calling your name, The Cure is the way to go. This dish begins with the preparation of their flavorful fried chicken. Once that’s done, it lands on a biscuit along with a fried green tomato, sunny side-up egg, and bacon. Rich gravy goes over it all after that to complete your meal.
Crispy Fried Wings
If you love wings, wings, and more wings, you simply have to try their Crispy Fried Wings. To start your order, you’ll need to choose between their four sauces: BBQ, Hot Honey, Buffalo, and Garlic Parmesan. Then, they’ll fry up your wings, toss them in the selected sauce, and serve the platter with fries, carrots, and celery. Plus, you’ll get to bring it all together with either blue cheese or ranch dipping sauce.
Adult Grilled Cheese
The Adult Grilled Cheese is pure comfort food elevated by the richest flavors around. This dish features sourdough bread filled with gouda, cheddar, and provolone cheeses. They grill the sammie until golden brown and then serve it with a dish of luscious tomato bisque for dipping and sipping.
