Roast chicken, brisket and St Louis ribs are particularly good.  One of the few places in the area where you can get sweet tea. Save room for bread pudding for dessert.  Jim notes that most of the sides have a lot of HOT in them.  Another standout is the wild rice soup.

This is a carnivore’s delight.  All you can eat meat of many different cuts/varieties; mostly beef, but could be anything (salmon, chicken, etc).  Very high-end saladish bar.  It’s not a standard chuscarria, more gourmet-ish.  Very good, excellent service.
