Mains to Satisfy Any Appetite
The Blue Plate Special stands out as a hearty Southern staple, serving one meat with three vegetables alongside your choice of cornbread or roll. Vegetarians will appreciate the Vegetable Plate, featuring four fresh vegetables with the same delicious bread options. Sandwich lovers can indulge in Chicken Salad Sandwiches or the crispy Chicken Tender Sandwich, each paired with steak fries or a side vegetable. Classic American diner fare shines in the Cheeseburger, made with an 8-ounce beef patty and steak fries, prepared medium-well or well done to your preference.
Other satisfying mains include the Open-Face Roast Beef Sandwich served with steak fries or mashed potatoes, the tangy Barbecue Pork Sandwich with coleslaw and fries, and the indulgent Big Cheese — a double-decker grilled cheese packed with four slices of American cheese, three slices of bacon, and steak fries. The BLT, featuring crisp bacon, lettuce, tomato, and your choice of sides, rounds out the savory selections with classic simplicity.
Delicious Desserts
Complete your meal with one of the daily dessert specials or choose a slice from an array of freshly baked pies. Options include rich chocolate pie, tangy lemon ice box pie, creamy peanut butter pie, coconut pie, pecan pie, and chocolate walnut pie — each slice a perfect balance of sweet and indulgent flavors to satisfy your sweet tooth.
