πŸ“ Local Insights

⏰ Visit Early for Breakfast: Breakfast is highly recommended, particularly for creamy grits and fresh fruit options, best enjoyed early before kitchen crowds.

🍀 Shrimp and Grits are a Must-Try: This classic dish stands out, with guests praising the generous shrimp portions even when other menu items vary in quality.

🍸 Bartenders Are a Highlight: Many visitors specifically mention attentive and skilled bartenders who amplify the dining experience, especially late at the bar.

πŸ“… Avoid Holiday Buffets: Holiday buffet service sees notable issues with food temperature and staff attentiveness, so consider dining on regular menu days.
