In talking to Eric Lee,”the menu is interesting enough for someone to travel from Columbus or Cleveland to enjoy and accessible enough that local residents will come for a regular meal or that  very special occasion.” I’m from Lancaster,Ohio and I didn’t think it was a bad drive at all. Eric makes the drive to work from Athens and he says he really enjoys the scenery along the way.

DSC_0021 I had already eaten lunch so I didn’t get to try the hearty pulled pork sandwich or Zaleski Burger with hand cut fries. I’m  thinking  this may be the spot to take Linda for Valentines Day……………. Have a great day and Thanks For Stopping By.
