I ended up getting the Gator 'N Grits bowl and Chris bought the Meatlovers flatbread pizza. The bits of deep-fried gator had been just a little robust – I feel I'm only a sucker for the novelty of getting one thing you don't get on daily basis. The cheddar grit cake was really phenomenal, and the andouille sausage was flavorful and hid the blandness of the gator.
However you aren't right here to speak about gator, let's discuss concerning the flatbread pizza. It was evenly cooked with a crust sturdy sufficient to carry as much as the toppings with out flopping over, and with a nice however not overly crispy crunch.

The ambiance is a winner, and all in all it was an excellent expertise. We might positively return for one more date night time!
