The Voting Academy Says

“One of my favorite hidden gems. Cheap drinks, great Southern-style food — and you get a ton of it for the price. The large smoker out front is constantly cooking meats. I usually get the half-chicken dinner and three sides, including the best green beans around. And the added bonus of a teeny outdoor mini-golf sitch.”
