Another great local spot for breakfast and lunch - home baked biscuits and fried grit cakes topped with all kinds of yumminess (even gluten free biscuits offered). How about the "Greybeard"?: fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, homemade honey mustard, atop a giant biscuit - yikes!

Very informal "go to" spot for lunch and dinner - in the heart of downtown. Lots of local brews on tap, live music now and again. Try the "Lover's Leap" - salmon patties on a bed of mashed potatoes with a delicious salsa.

Sit out on their patio is nice weather and enjoy the scrumptious food - mountain trout is excellent, the chicken quesadlillas are beyond superb, specials like seafood pasta alfredo super yummy. Beer, wine and cocktails, and no kidding they have a coconut cake that is legendary - so good you won't believe it!
