Food Scene
Our favorite restaurants and coffee shops!
Unquestionably the best food in town. Great appetizer options and salads if you're not in the mood for pizza. Awesome rotating beer selection as well and don't forget to ask about the ice cream of the day! Bacon wrapped dates, brussel sprouts, meatballs, and the margarita pizza are our go-to's.
Pro tip: Ask for a side of the house made chili honey for your pizza crusts.
