We enjoyed our lunch stop. The menu was intriguing and included some restaurant lore. Our waitress did a good job at a busy time. We both had sandwiches and tried the fried potato salad. The salad was not dressed to our taste, but has inspired me to try it at home.

This place is sort of unexpected in a small town. I ordered the pecan chicken for lunch. It was loaded with pecans and I liked it a lot.

The table was dirty. The seafood pasta we had was okay the potato soup not. The other couple with us ordered tenderlion and was not edible.
