From the feature board

The board changes. That's the whole idea.

    Shrimp, beef sausage, potatoes, corn on the cob, boiled egg and gherkins.

  • Handcrafted Burgers $15

    Garlic Butter Croissant, Lexington Sunriser, Southtown Slammer, Tiger Town Pizza Burger, or B.Y.O. Burger — or take any of them as a Burger Bowl. With your choice of side.

  • Two Crab Cakes $15

    On a bed of baby arugula, with remoulade.

  • Bougie Boy $13

    A po' boy on a toasted brioche bun with arugula. Comes with fries.

  • Club Sandwich $12

    With a side.

  • Veggie Plate $10

    Green beans with new potatoes, fried green tomatoes, pinto beans and fried corn. With cornbread.

The room

Floral cloths, spindle chairs, wildflowers on every table.

We opened on the corner in October 2022 and set the room the way we'd want to be sat down in it — lamplight, framed pigs on the wall, a jar of flowers within reach of your coffee.

Dine in, or call and take it with you. We serve Lexington and the towns around it — Huntingdon, Savannah and Nashville folks find us too.

What folks say
