Also on Main street just a few doors north of the La Salle. Absolutely incredible BBQ, even more incredible selections of whiskeys. Multiple craft beers on tap. Get an order of the Pork Belly Burnt Ends (it’s like meat candy) … you will not be disappointed. Havarti grits and the gouda mac ‘n’ cheese are to die for!
