Food scene

131 Main is our favorite spot to grab steaks in the area, or even to grab a cocktail at their bar before seeing a movie nearby. The Cast Iron Corn Bread and their Deviled Eggs are both excellent starters and they serve amazing Prime Rib on the weekends. Their NC Rainbow Trout is always a delicious fresh catch. Reservations highly recommended.
