Ribs. Pork. Chicken. Brisket. Hell, even sausage. All BBQ has the same three basic ingredients: smoke, meat and time. What makes it different is the amount, consideration and attention to each part of that recipe. That, and some really great bbq sauce, to

Reviewed By Vanessa_Davis_Griggs

I got the Philly Cheese Steak meal with their legendary home-made potato chips. The food was good, but the person (Marissa) serving me and my friend was not the best. She got smart a few times with my friend to the point that when she brought out something my friend requested, my friend didn't want to eat it because she wasn't sure if she hadn't done something to her food. She ended up leaving the collards green untouched. (I tasted a piece to the greens and the piece I tasted was good.)

Jack Browns Burger & Beer Joint

Reviewed By gdt655

If you just drove by the building, you probably wouldn't stop and go in! But you'd be missing the best hamburger you every ate. Great food, limited menu, fun, basic environment! Jack Brown's is comfortable, friendly, and food is delicious. Burgers, fries and beer. They have a burger menu with explanation of each burger, and that's what you choose from. That's what you get! No build your own burger. If you don't want something described, you take it off when served. From plain cheese burgers to excellent gourmet burgers, but limited offerings. You add mustard or ketchup. Outstanding fries. The small room is very eclectic and fun. Lights strung from wall to wall. Go early....gets crowded quickly. Worth the wait. Best homemade burger you'll ever have and ingredients and buns are fresh. You want a burger?.........don't miss this place! And craft beers!

Paramount

Reviewed By GypsyJunction88

We picked a place for lunch with top reviews since we were in town. I was sold with the pimento. I ordered the hot dog with ham, pimento and fried pickles while my husband ordered the paramount burger. It's a big burger with eggs, patties, fried risotto, etc. We also got a basket of fries. The thing I liked most was the antibiotic, free range chicken, and good quality ingredients. The menu isnt huge but everything sounded good. The pimento was really good. But it didn't have a pot on the hot dog. So I asked the waitress and she was so nice and brought me a small dish of it. (Perfect amount). My husband enjoyed his food and I did too. It was so so good. We will definitely come back!

Fancy's on Fifth

Reviewed By durre002

My husband and I ate here for the first time for dinner last weekend. To start the meal we ordered the hush puppies, I got a Bloody Mary, and he a beer. The hush puppies were great, especially when paired with the pimento cheese and bacon jam. The Bloody Mary was simply fantastic. For our meal, we both had the El Guapo with truffle fries. I’m not a huge fan of chorizo but the burger was very good (husband says excellent) and the truffle fries were delicious. Our server was friendly and efficient through the entire meal, making it a great experience overall. We didn’t order dessert in the moment but looking back I wish we had...they sounded delicious!

Some of the best thin crust pizza this side of NYC! It is delicious, and all the toppings you could ever want......or just cheese and delicious house-made sauce. Also, their wings are to die for! Meaty, moist and delicious. Craft beers available, indoor and outdoor seating, easy parking, great relaxed, friendly atmosphere and outstanding staff. If you want pizza....you found it! Sice Stone Pizza & Brew is the place!

Melt

Reviewed By Sun3girls

Visited here after hot day at the Zoo when daughter picked it- The server Michelle was great! The chicken salad and pimento with crackers was wonderful. Loved the home made “crackers”. The patty melt was a bit on the dry side and needed something as far as seasoning. The kids grilled cheese was very good and had plenty of cheese. Would definitely go again if in area - just know there are only a very few Parking spots but parking on street.

Saw's Juke Joint

Reviewed By Sharon H

SAW's was recommended to us by hotel staff. Our server was excellent. We started with fried green tomatoes which were delicious. Our servicer made a recommendation which we ordered. We had the pork and greens and grilled catfish and greens. Both were excellent and packed with flavor. This place has a casual atmosphere and great food. You won't be disappointed.
