Eat Pea-Soup's
A long-time local favorite offering mostly traditional Southern foods such as mashed potatoes, country fried steaks, chicken fingers, and salads. Highly recommended by the locals. Prices are very reasonable. Their homemade potato salad is one of the highlights you shouldn't miss out on.
Eat Lost Pizza
A wide variety of pizza, sandwiches, sides and desserts, as well as a huge selection of import and domestic beers. The restaurant is themed with a hybrid mix of Southern and Islander cultures with various decorations adorning the interior, such as antiques and signs. The menu includes their signature pizzas such as The Lucille, named in honor of local celebrity and blues legend B.B. King. Very family friendly with equally reasonable prices.
