Fabulous first time won’t be the last!
Best Lobster Corn chowder ever. Oh and the green fried tomatoes ❤️❤️
We went for the first time for breakfast and it was delicious! We used to go there when it was The Porch and love the beautiful remodel of the restaurant. It’s bright and modern and the staff is so upbeat and friendly. We plan to go back and have lunch.
