GET the Slippery Shrimp, which is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, garlicky, sweet, sour, and just a wee tiny bit of spice. Be sure to eat it while it’s fresh & hot! In fact bring it next door to Steady Brew Beer Co.’s taproom to enjoy their brews: IPAs, Ales, Pilsners, and Porters with your meal - be sure to get dessert from Creative Cakery (a few doors away), as their mini Bundt cakes, Lemon bars, Cherry bars, and PB & Chocolate bars (really, ALL of their bars) are scrumptious!
