Customer Favorites
-
Burgers: Try the Taphouse Burger—two juicy beef patties, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Crave something with a kick? The Incinerator Burger has jalapeños and ghost pepper cheese, and the HANgOVER Burger tops things off with a fried egg and potatoes au gratin.
-
Mains: Think Southern favorites like chicken and waffles (homemade waffle, honey butter, bourbon syrup), scallops and risotto, shrimp and grits, pork belly with gouda grits, and steak kabobs in a tangy red pepper sauce.
-
Salads and Sides: Southern Caesar with jalapeño cornbread croutons, fresh mixed greens, and baked potato soup. Sides like creamed spinach, green beans, and their famous beer cheese are not to be missed.
-
Desserts: Save space for a brownie sundae or cheesecake, both made with lots of care.
-
Drinks: Over 20 rotating taps feature local and regional beers, plus there’s a full bar with cocktails, wine, Prosecco, and bourbon. The staff can recommend a flight if you want to try several different brews.
