WELCOME TO

HILTON HEAD

island SOUTH CAROLINA

The Town That Has It All

Hilton Head Island has everything: Beautiful beaches. World-class golf courses. Award-winning restaurants. Wonderful weather. But Hilton Head Island is more than just the scenery and tourist attractions. Hilton Head is also about the people, its history and its year-long appeal. Locals embrace our waterways 12 months a year, including public marinas, fishing piers and boat launch sites. You are always within a short drive from a marsh, river or the Atlantic Ocean. If you don’t want to drive everywhere, that’s OK, because the island has more than 60 miles of biking trails. Of course, Hilton Head is a great place to unwind and relax. Hilton Head has it all.

OLD OYSTER FACTORY WAT E R F R O N T D I N I N G

he Old Oyster Factory was built on the site of an original oyster cannery. From 1925 until 1990’s, 1700 acres of nearby creeks and wetlands were harvested and their yield brought to a one-story concrete building located directly under the restaurant. After canning, the oysters were shipped all over the Lowcountry bearing the appellation of the Broad Creek Oyster Factory. Today, this iconic waterfront dining destination has stunning views of the Lowcountry on Broad Creek. Voted one of the “Top 100 Scenic View Restaurants’’ and “Top 50 Kid Friendly Restaurants” in America by OpenTable, the Old Oyster Factory specializes in fresh seafood but includes landlubbers’ favorites such as filet mignon, ribeye and brick chicken.

REILLEY’S GRILL & BAR

his local favorite, family-owned and operated establishment has been serving up delicious steaks, seafood, pasta and sandwiches on Hilton Head Island since 1982. Reilley’s new menu items and specials, made with fresh seasonal ingredients, really shows off their culinary experience far beyond your average bar food. As one reviewer states, “ We stayed a weekend on Hilton Head and ate at many great restaurants, but this was by far the best. The beer was COLD (very important) and food was great. I had the sesame salmon, by far the best. My boyfriend had the fish tacos. I wish I could remember our waiter’s name because he was very kind and quick. The food came fast and the price point was great for what we had. If we visit Hilton Head again, we will be back!” With a sophisticated warm ambiance, family-friendly atmosphere, this Island institution is where you can enjoy nightly specials, mimosas at Sunday brunch or casual drinks and bar menu food with friends over a game on one of the many TVs. (Voted Island’s Best Sports Bar) There is a large, spacious covered patio and bar which features live music almost every night during the season. (Check their website for the music lineup.) Their dining options include indoors, outdoor (heated, covered areas available), as well as online ordering and curbside pick-up.

HINCHEY’S CHICAGO BAR & GRILL

ome of the Notre Dame Club, the Pitt Club and the Sunset Rotary. Hinchey’s has been a locals’ favorite for twenty-five years on Hilton Head. Great place to relax, to talk, watch the game, and have a drink, sandwich or a meal. Their fried grouper sandwich is an area favorite. Their Tuesday night All-You-Can-Eat-Crab-Legs is not to be missed. Family owned and operated since 1996, the spacious location in the Circle Center next to the new Celebration Park on Hilton Head Island has a great sports memorabilia display, with a private dining room for special events. One recently satisfied customer had to say - “Hinchey’s was recommended to us by one of our neighbors and it did not disappoint. My husband’s club sandwich was huge and he said

Dine inside or out. Lunch and dinner is served seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Early dining specials from 4:30-6:00 p.m. Happy hour 4-7 p.m. seven days a week. 46 SUMME R 2022 F O R K & F U N

it was really good. I had the nachos and they were excellent. Huge serving and brought the rest home to enjoy later. Lots of locals make this their go to place to meet and share a few with theirs friends. The waiter greeted many of the couples by name and knew their drink orders. We will definitely go back.” Though Hinchey’s has much in common with a sports bar, it is very much a restaurant and the perfect spot to meet family and friends for lunch or dinner. Their extensive menu has something for everyone, featuring Chicago specialties like Italian Beef Sandwich and local favorites including the Crab Cakes. Many vacationers make Hinchey’s their first stop on their return visits to Hilton Head Island and their last stop on their way home.

CRANE'S TAVERN A FA M I LY T R A D I T I O N O F E XC E L L E N C E

rane’s Tavern and Steakhouse on Hilton Head Island has a pedigree that goes back for more than a century. Frank Crane, an immigrant from Ireland, founded Crane’s Tavern in Philadelphia in 1908 and ran it until forced to close during Prohibition. After the restaurant reopened in 1933, his sons and a grandson continued to operate the tavern into the 1970s. His son Hank worked at the original tavern until 1969, when he opened a Crane’s Tavern north of Philadelphia, then bought and renamed the Surf City Hotel on Long Beach Island, N.J. In April 1999, Hank and his daughter Beth-Anne Crane, great-granddaughter of the founder, opened the restaurant on Hilton Head. More than two decades later it remains a go-to

“On a two-week vacation to Hilton Head this is the one place we always go at least twice. Why? The seafood is always fresh and perfectly prepared,” an online reviewer said. “The atmosphere is cozy, definitely unpretentious, and casual.” Room for dessert? Try three varieties of key lime pie or a sweet potato cheesecake. “Unanimous choice for best seafood on our trip,” an online reviewer said. “In fact, one of our kids made three visits (once just for the key lime pie). Reasonably priced, super casual and very good quality.” Sea Shack was voted one of South Carolina’s best seafood spots by Coastal Living magazine in June 2011. Voted “One of South Carolina’s Best Seafood Spots” Southern Living Sept 2012.

HAPPY HOUR

COMEDY MAGIC CABARET IS GOOD, CLEAN FUN By Tim Watson Kerry Pollock walks on stage at Comedy Magic Cabaret on Hilton Head Island like he built the place — because he did. Pollock’s passion for both comedy and magic lured him away from his original career as an engineer, one gig at a time. Pollock is gifted at crafting jokes and illusions — and the settings where performers present them. His half-bowl, 88-seat club in the South Island Square shopping center feels like a classic jazz club; there’s not a bad seat in the house. Corporate events, private parties and celebrations of life have taken place in this homey, intimate space. In addition to setting the stage for laughter and amazement on Hilton Head, Pollock has built stages and performance spaces for others in the entertainment industry. Audiences at Comedy Magic Cabaret have grown about 20% since the club opened, as word spread across the Lowcountry and beyond about Pollock’s “Funny Not Filthy” entertainment. Much of the credit for the club’s success belongs to his wife, Kelly, who is a breath of fresh air, tirelessly working the front and back of the house. Many guests become repeat customers — and close friends of the couple. Friends and fans are quick to sing Pollock’s praises. Among them are Rich and Janice Ross, who have also seen him perform at The Magic Castle nightclub in Hollywood. “The other comics told us that no one interacts with an audience better than Kerry,” Rich Ross said. As Hilton Head guests enjoy the show, they can also order food and drinks — Comedy Magic Cabaret serves simple Southern cuisine with a twist: pork and chicken sliders, paninis, and a variety of desserts. Signature cocktails include The Daufuskie Hurricane and Kelly’s Favorite. The menu also includes a wide selection of beer, wine and soft drinks.

90 90

The Pollocks recently upped the magic with a new addition to the club, an intimate “Backstage” Close-Up magic show seating only 12-16 guests for a unique personal experience. They will also be offering the same aboard their 61’ yacht “MAGIC”. An optional upgrade includes a pre-show dolphin cruise with hosts Kerry and Kelly. Comedy Magic Cabaret is located in South Island Square, 843 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head Island. When facing the shopping center, Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar is in the front left corner and Comedy Magic Cabaret is in the back right. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and shows start at 8 p.m.; for just a few extra dollars comedy fans can sit a little closer to the stage to increase their chances of becoming “volunteers” during a performance.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND Sands. Surfing. Swimming. Sunning. Shores. Sailing. Sanctuary. Whatever your vision of the “beach life” may entail, the sun-splashed beaches of Hilton Head Island offer as many experiences as there are shells on their sandy shores. From its heel to its toe, here’s an overview of some of the island’s popular beaches and hidden gems.

10 9

4 96

1. SOUTH BEACH

Best For: Unique water sports opportunities (kayaking, sport fishing, parasailing, etc.), sightseeing and walking. Located in Sea Pines at the “toe” of the island near the South Beach Marina. Calibogue Beach is relatively quiet, nearly secluded, and is great for just watching the dolphins or a relaxing walk. If you are not a Sea Pines resident or registered guest, you must pay $8 per vehicle to enter the resort. Access: Near Sea Pines South Beach Marina, best accessed by bike or foot. $8 per vehicle to enter the resort.

2. SOUTH FOREST BEACH

Best For: Swimming, fishing, biking and walking. Part of Hilton Head’s “Ocean Community,” South Forest Beach is on a one-mile stretch of beachfront between the Coligny Circle and Sea Pines Plantation gate. It is the largest of the island’s public beaches, and draws more crowds than North Forest Beach. Wide, comfortable and spacious, and buffered somewhat from nearby development, it’s a great all-purpose spot. Venture a little further away from the public access point that divides the north and south beaches, and you’ll find even more room to spread out. Access: Public access on Alder Lane and Seaside Villas, off South Forest Beach Road.

3. COLIGNY BEACH

Best For: Everybody. Perfect for sunbathing, swimming, biking, an early-morning jog or a romantic date night. At Hilton Head’s busiest beach you’ll find soft sand and wonderful clean water. Even better, it’s close to the island’s unofficial downtown area. The beach is protected by security cameras and visitors can enjoy free Wi-Fi, volleyball nets, scores of beach rentals and free parking — park at the beach parking, not Coligny Plaza. The beach and the shopping plaza do get a little crowded, but if you like an active and lively beach experience, this is your spot. Access: At Coligny Circle, at the intersection of Pope Avenue and South Forest Beach Drive.

4. NORTH FOREST BEACH

Best For: Swimming, walking and surfing Located near over 100 dining and shopping options in one of the island’s oldest neighborhoods. For surfers, the beach area at Jacana Street is known to offer some of the best waves at high tide on the island. Locals swear by the shoreline as the best on Hilton Head, and the quaint mix of older beach cottages with modern ocean compounds makes for a compelling community feel. Access: The one-mile stretch of beach starts at Coligny Circle and runs north to the Sonesta Resort located in Shipyard Plantation.

5. BURKES BEACH

Best For: Surfing, boarding, walking and pets. Located to the northern side of Chaplin Community Park, Burke’s Beach is adjacent to Singleton Beach, divided by the natural folly field. The beach offers seasonal lifeguards and limited parking, but boasts

some of the best waves for surfing and boarding. The dog park at Chaplin Park is a nice touch and makes it a great destination for a bark-and-beach day with man’s best friend. Access: Just south of Palmetto Dunes at the end of Burkes Beach Road.

6. DRIESSEN BEACH

Best For: Day trips, swimming, sunning, locals and in-the-know. A long boardwalk connects the maritime forest to the white-sand beach. A long, wide shoreline leaves ample room to spread out, and the flat ocean floor and small waves make it kid-friendly and great for body boarding or just wading. Tucked in a heavily shaded and wooded area, it’s a bit hard to find, but with tons of amenities like parking and restrooms. Access: Off William Hilton Parkway, at the end of Bradley Beach Road.

7. FOLLY FIELD BEACH

Best for: Surfers, walking and biking. A bit off the beaten path from the plantations and resorts, Folly Field has more of a locals’ beach feel. With a shorter walk to the beach than nearby Driessen Beach, it is both convenient and quiet. Take a long walk and grab a pit stop and a drink at the outdoor bar at the nearby The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa. Access: Located on Starfish Road, a right turn off Folly Field Road.

8. ISLANDER’S BEACH

Best for: Locals and swimming. A favorite of locals, Islander’s Beach recently earned a high ranking in Coastal Living magazine’s Top 21 Beaches on the East Coast. It’s less crowded than most Hilton Head spots and swimmer-friendly, thanks to its gentle underwater slope. Parking is at a premium and is mostly reserved for residents and year-round pass holders. Access: Located at 94 Folly Field Road, at Sparkleberry Ln.

9. HISTORIC MITCHELVILLE FREEDOM PARK

Best for: Walking, birdwatching, clamming & fishing.The public beach access at this historic site is located on the “heel” of the island. It boasts 31 acres of mostly untouched nature, feels like your own private beach and is arguably the scene for the best bird watching in all of Hilton Head. The beach itself is a generous walk from the park. Access: Near the end of Beach City Road.

10. FISH HAUL CREEK BEACH PARK

Best For: Privacy, fishing, walking. Many locals consider this beach Hilton Head’s best-kept secret. Adjacent to Barker’s Field, this beach park (formerly Mitchelville Beach Park) was recently renamed. It’s not for swimming, but is great for beach-combing, hunting for sharks’ teeth and digging for clams. Access: Near the end of Beach City Road, on Mitchelville Road.

• Watch bottlenose dolphins play in the Atlantic Ocean or in the Intracoastal Waterway during sightseeing tours on motorized boats of all sizes. Pontoon boats, catamarans, center consoles and even sailboats offer excursions, and while they don’t guarantee you’ll see dolphins, the odds are in your favor. • Kids will love Hilton Head’s pirate adventure tours. The history of the island is peppered with real pirates, so it’s fun to dress up, use pirate props and take to the open waters. Three different ships set sail from different areas of the island. • Catch (and maybe release) a big one. Local charters specialize on inshore, nearshore and offshore fishing around Hilton Head Island.

HISTORY AND CULTURE

• Visit the historic Mitchelville Freedom Park. Before the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, a group of escaped slaves, considered “contraband of war” by the occupying Union Army, were granted a plot of land where they created their own town. The Mitchelville Preservation Project is dedicated to preserving and sharing the triumphant story of the first self-governed settlement of freedmen in the U.S. and the site is amazing lesson in our nation’s history. • Reserve a tour at the Gullah Museum of Hilton Head. Since 2003, the nonprofit museum has been committed to maintaining Gullah customs, traditions, language, stories, songs and structures in the Lowcountry. The preserved Little House is a quiet,

See a professional performance at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, where musicals, plays, dances and national comedy acts take the stage regularly. Or channel your inner artist with a few classes at the Art League of Hilton Head Academy, working with talented local artists in all media and all skill levels. There are also day-long and multiday courses at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina that run the gamut from visual arts to performing and dance. For a fun souvenir, head over to the Art Cafe, located across the street from Coligny Plaza and paint your own pottery.

Go further and still have the energy for more miles! There is nothing more fun than electric.

INDOOR FUN

Coligny is a single-screen theater that shows mostly art house movies. With 12 screens, Cinemark Bluffton is the largest theater in the area.

• Lace up your bowling shoes for a day at Station 300 in Bluffton, which offers 33,000 square feet of bowling, arcade games and food. The bumpers can pop up to protect less experienced players from gutter balls, and then go back down when the family champion is up. If you work up an appetite, enjoy a menu of sandwiches, burgers and pizza. • Play some arcade games. Adventure Cove Mini Golf & Arcade on Hilton Head features air hockey, video games and a creative and well-maintained mini golf course. Before you leave, be sure to trade your tickets in for some fun swag.

LEGEND STAN SMITH EARNS LOCAL, STATE ACCOLADES BY HILTON HEAD MONTHLY | PHOTO BY RITTERBECK PHOTOGRAPHY

106 SUMME R 2022 F O R K & F U N

FORKANDFUN.COM

Stan Smith has enjoyed a decorated tennis career. The Hilton Head Island resident, a former No. 1 player, won the U.S. Open in 1971 and Wimbledon in 1972. He won 39 singles titles and 61 doubles titles. He also founded, with B.J. Stearns, the Smith Stearns Tennis Academy, which has developed young tennis players for 20 years. Smith’s accomplishments were recently recognized by local and state officials. The Boys & Girls Club of Hilton Head Island dedicated its new outdoor pavilion to Stan and Margie Smith as “Club Champions” in honor of their long-standing commitment to the Club’s mission to serve those in need. Stan Smith joined the board in 1994 and has led several key capital campaigns. He and his wife have been co-hosting the Club’s annual gala for more than 20 years. “We are extremely grateful to have Stan and Margie in our corner,” said Kim Likins, Club director. “Their tireless commitment to making sure our young Members have bright futures is truly remarkable.” The new pavilion is used as an optional space for learning and socializing, as well as a place to host events. Smith was also honored by state Gov. Henry McMaster. During a ceremony held by the Boys & Girls Club of Hilton Head Island celebrating the 50th anniversary of Smith winning the 1972 Wimbledon title and being ranked the top tennis player, McMaster presented Smith with the Order of the Palmetto. The award is the state’s highest civilian honor presented in recognition of a lifetime of extraordinary achievement and service. “Mr. Smith is known around the world as one of the greatest tennis players of all time, but in South Carolina, he is known for his long list of charitable work,” said McMaster. “Mr. Smith has dedicated himself to giving back to the Hilton Head Community and promoting Hilton Head through the game of tennis. He exemplifies what it means to be an Order of Palmetto recipient. We thank him for his commitment to serving his community and South Carolina.” The award surprised Smith. “I am overwhelmed with gratitude to have been nominated by the Boys & Girls Club of Hilton Head Island for the Order of the Palmetto and to have Governor McMaster here to personally present this prestigious award to me,” said Smith, whose career highlights include representing the U.S. in the Davis Cup for 10 years and winning the championship seven times. “The entire evening was a night I’ll remember and cherish for a long time.” Smith is also the spokesperson for the Club’s annual Fund-A-Need appeal, which took place during the event. The event featured special guests, including former Olympian and Boys & Girls Club Hall of Fame Alumna Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Todd Martin, president of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. More than 200 people attended the event in support of the Club’s mission and his career. “Our gratitude for all that Stan has done for our Club kids through the years is beyond measurable,” Likins said.

ISL AND TIME

DAUFUSKIE

GET AWAY FOR A DAY ACROSS THE WATER BY JUSTIN JARRETT | PHOTOS COURTESY OF HAIG POINT

Just a couple of miles across Calibogue Sound from Harbour Town lies Daufuskie Island, a small, largely undeveloped barrier island. A 45-minute ferry ride up the Intracoastal Waterway whisks visitors back in time when, depositing them on Daufuskie — accessible only by boat — and a world away from the trappings of modern-day life. Daufuskie, steeped in history and drenched in natural beauty, is divided into two distinct worlds — the private Haig Point community, where cars are prohibited and residents access top-notch amenities by golf cart or bicycle, and the rest of the island, virtually undisturbed for decades. Native American artifacts are frequently unearthed on the island’s beaches, including arrowheads and pieces of centuries-old pottery. Haig Point is mostly for members only, but the club does rent rooms in the historic Strachan Mansion and the Haig Point Lighthouse (rumored to be “eternally occupied” by Maggie, the former keeper’s daughter). A horseback ride via Daufuskie Island Trail Rides, one of the few places in the country where you can still ride horses on the beach, is always a unique experience. Living here also means a chance to play a round on the club’s renowned Rees Jones signature golf course. On weekends during the summer, Freeport is the place to be: It’s where visitors hop off the ferry and gather to eat and drink at the Old Daufuskie Crab Company, dance the day away to live music, play cornhole, and hit the public beach that looks across Calibogue Sound toward Hilton Head. The area near the marina is something of a town center, with a general store, a few cottages for rent, and a handful of shops.

110 SUMME R 2022 F O R K & F U N

The main mode of transportation is via a golf cart or bike — which are perfect to explore the island. And there’s plenty to explore along Daufuskie’s dirt roads. A number of unique galleries dot the island. Most notable among them is the Iron Fish Gallery, where Daufuskie Island resident Chase Allen — who has sold more than $1 million worth of art — produces metalworks in an open-air studio and accepts payments on the honor system when he isn’t present at the gallery. Daufuskie is a haven for art lovers, inlcluding Daufuskie Blues — located in the famed Mary Fields School, where author Pat Conroy taught in the 1960s — where organic indigo harvested on the island is used to create stunning and unique fashions. The school is also home to School Grounds Coffee, but if you are looking for something a little stronger the island will oblige. Silver Dew Winery is a great spot for a tasting. There’s the museum inside the old Bloody Point Lighthouse and Daufuskie Island Rum Company, where its locally distilled spirits have been served to visitors from every U.S. state and 64 countries. The distillery is located next to a quaint pond, where visitors sometimes enjoy a picnic lunch. If you’re not the do-it-yourself type, you can book one of a number of tours, including one led by Daufuskie native Sallie Ann Robinson, who was Conroy’s star pupil in “The Water Is Wide.” Life on Daufuskie isn’t for everyone, and its full-time residents have a saying: “We’re all here because we’re not all there.”

BLUFFTON SOUTH CAROLINA

Small Town Big Reputation

Bluffton is booming. The town has grown from one square mile when it was first incorporated to 54 square miles today. The town’s development exploded, bringing business and families to the Lowcountry — and it gave Bluffton its own identity. There are shopping centers along U.S. 278, schools and athletic fields along McCracken Circle and dining and entertainment keep Calhoun Street and the Promenade vibrant. Even though Bluffton is growing, it is still a small town, with a neighborly feel. You’ll know your neighbors. You’ll enjoy their company and enjoy peace of mind. The restaurants offer an eclectic mix of options, from fresh seafood to pub fare. The town serves some of the freshest dishes in the Lowcountry. Old Town is still the place to explore. A unique spot for a variety of experiences, Old Town features artisan shops, art galleries and fantastic eateries. Old Town also includes the pre-Civil War Church of the Cross and the antebellum Heyward House. The Bluffton state of mind is real, and we love it.

FOOD. OUTDOORS. PEOPLE. KIM VILJAC SPEARHEADS BLUFFTON’S FARMERS MARKET STORY BY NINA GREENPLATE | PH0T0S BY ROB KAUFMAN

Kim Viljac’s love of community and talent for connection lends perfectly to her position as executive director of the Farmers Market of Bluffton. Viljac lived for a time in the south of France which helped foster her lifelong affinity for great food and outdoor activities. “I spent a lot of time at open-air markets with all the beautiful colors, fragrant aromas, and friendly people,” she said. “I guess that’s where it all started.” The charming backdrop of Old Town welcomes the mindful consumer as they browse more than 30 local producers and farmers every Thursday afternoon. The market itself, on Boundary Street, appears as a microcosm of what living in a healthy society should look like: homegrown foods, neighborhood outreach, and relationships built on mutual objectives. Viljac is integral to these principles. “People often tell me how they come to meet up with friends, and how love the experience,” she says. “We are committed to supporting local agriculture, as well as the small-business person.” Spring’s swift approach finds some farmers in between crops and planning for the upcoming season. Seasonal fruits, vegetables, plants, and herbs are always available, along with responsibly sourced beef, pork, and poultry. “The beauty of the farmers market is that you’re able to talk directly to the farmer,” Viljac says. “If you are buying a tomato, know that the person selling it to you grew it.” She values the relationships developed over her 10 years as director, and in turn, merchants appreciate her dedication. The farmers market typically averages 30 vendors each Thursday.

Their pasture-raised, pure-bred pigs and lamb are given non-GMO feed without hormones or antibiotics. Chocolates and Sweets on Hilton Head Island have been faithful merchants for nearly 10 years. Linda and Billy Douglas’ handmade confections include sweet truffles, pralines, creamy fudge, roasted pecans and multiple chocolate creations. Most requested are their coconut balls and chocolate- covered bacon. Another long-standing market vendor is Kathy Lambert of Great Food Co-Op, whose homemade salsas and dips are reminiscent of the “good ol’ days,” she said. In homage to her father, Lee, Lambert continues the tradition. Most requested are the Goldilocks-Red Heat Relish, and crispy “Chippy Chips” in sun-dried tomato/basil, spinach/herb, and whole wheat proprietary blends. As a non-profit venue, Viljac speaks of her “open door” in encouraging community groups to set up and promote their efforts. “We try to get everyone involved,” she said. Organizations such as Bluffton Self Help, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Backpack Buddies, Girl Scouts and the Rotary Club have come out to raise awareness. Local chefs make regular appearances, demonstrating food preparation basics. During the coronavirus pandemic, Viljac ensures Bluffton’s safety regulations are followed, including: proper vendor spacing and signage for mask wearing, sanitizer use, and customer distancing. The Farmers Market of Bluffton is open Thursdays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more i n for mat ion , v isit farmersmarketbluffton.org.

here was a time when people took pride in what they did. No matter what they were doing, they put their heart and soul into it. In those days, it was all about setting a standard of excellence. Craft Kitchen was built on that foundation. Dragging the old-fashioned work ethic into the 21st century, owners Vincent and Desi Kull have created a place where what goes into each bite and each sip is crafted with care. “I’m a big believer in keeping all of our recipes simple and not overly complicated, because we make nearly everything from scratch here,” said Vincent. That means everything from carefully hand-breading each fried chicken and delicately seasoning each smash burger, down to preparing fresh scratch-made dressing for each salad. That dedication to quality ingredients and mindful crafting extends to the beer list as well, an inspired mix of small independent offerings from around the Southeast and the country. “We always want to keep things new and fresh,” said Vincent. “In addition to our twelve rotating drafts, we have quite a large and unique can and bottle list that’s always changing. That can be overwhelming to some people so if you’re just learning about craft beer, we’ll be more than happy to point you toward something you will love.”
