Great overall experience. Very casual spot with inventive and delicious menu items. The beef tartar was a fun and tasty approach to this dish. Fried green tomatoes, tartar with a devil’s egg type sauce served withlettuce wraps. So good! Great job on the BBQ shrimp. The sauce was really flavorful and loved the simple toast served with it. The fried mushrooms and onions were amazing.
