Barn Belly BurgersCreative and enormous. The Bulldozer, the Angry Tony, the Rowdy Jamaican.
Catfish CornerExactly what it says.
Lee's Southern KitchenMeat-and-three, done right.
Big Doug's PlaceA local staple.
One honest note: small-town hours move around, and some of these close early or take a day off midweek. Give them a quick call before you load up sixteen people. If one of these lets you down, tell us — we'll take it off the list.
