You’re going to love their:
Fried Green Tomatoes
A true must-try classic, the Fried Green Tomatoes never fail to delight with their bright, bold flavors. To create this starter, the chef hand batters green tomato slices and then tosses them in the deep fryer. Once they’re done, they serve them with a homemade potato cake and ranch dressing for dipping.
Blackberry Pork Chop
People come from far and wide to try the Blackberry Pork Chop, and for good reason. This dish boasts a big berry flavor thanks to the blackberry barbecue sauce slathered on the local organic pork chop as it cooks. After the chop is cooked to perfection, it lands on top of apple potato hash and next to a side of garlic green beans.
North Carolina BLT
Whenever you want to keep it low-key, you cannot go wrong with the North Carolina BLT. This popular sammie features applewood smoked bacon sliced and fried green tomatoes on sourdough bread. Lettuce and mayo come in at the end to bring it all together. You get to select your side dish, too, such as Sweet Potato Fries, Homemade Chips, or Potato Salad.
Their chocolate cake is known as the best in the region, so definitely save room for dessert. Your server will bring out a doggie bag whenever you’re ready to call it quits on your meal.
