Food scene

Our favorite spot for fresh produce and easy premade meals to go. This restaurant is held in such high regard, even HD TV's Adam Richman made a pitstop on Man vs. Food to taste test their famous pies and pressure-fried chicken.

Head over to S.K.O.B. as locals call it for their famous happy hour oysters from 3-6 p.m. Our personal favorite is the garlic parmesan and don't forget to try the oyster shooters!
