Handmade recipes
Quality in every bite
While our menu might be concise, it’s crafted with a focus on quality over quantity, ensuring that every item is a standout. Our meats are always fresh, never frozen, and sourced directly from Schneider’s Quality Meats right next door, who shares our standards for excellence. Every sandwich and burger we serve is crafted with care using the best ingredients available.
We take pride in our specialty items, such as our signature trashed wings – a popular but hard-to-find item locally. These wings are first fried and sauced with your choice of our rich Buffalo or house-made Carolina Mustard sauce, and then fried again, creating a crispy (and less messy) flavor-packed delight.
