#1 – Lip Smackin’ Barbecue
“Tongue Waggin’ Down-Home Good” is the motto here, and it applies to everything from the Hog Heaven BBQ plate to Bob’s hickory smoked chicken salad. Come in and set a spell to enjoy a rack of ribs or hit the drive-through for some take-home. Barbecue is available by the half and full pound, and sides by the pint, quart and gallon.

#2 – Rockin’ Eats & Drinks
From the concert posters on the wall to the records on the turntable, this is the place for music lovers. Listen to some tunes, eat some wings or grab a pub burger, and wash it all down with an ice cold Tootla Creek Blonde Ale or other local brew (mixed drinks are also available).
