“I love QPP! I can always count on great food, hearty soups, fun salads and tasty low country specials. Their beers obviously are the draw and The Peach Wheat is my favorite (yes, fruit your beer every occasion you can!) I love sitting at the bar and meeting new people, the bartenders are all great! You can typically catch me there around lunch on Saturdays after my local yoga class so come by, say hi and don't be shy!“
