Last Resort Grill “I love beginning a meal with their fried-green
tomatoes, and the salmon and grits is always a delectable dish. Their Spanish lemon cake is almost
always a parting delicious treat.”

Trappeze Pub “The boiled peanuts are a great way to start the meal, yet the “double pig” is an entrée to be revered. Aside
from the vast local beer selection, the atmosphere feels like everyone’s favorite pub, a great place to gather with
friends and enjoy great food.”
