SOUTHERN FUSION FOODCome on in, y'all! If you want a unique dining experience, you've come to the right place. Our menu is inspired by our staff's southern roots and repackaged for the Empire State. Bring your friends and family to sample our southern cooking and enjoy the ambiance, or dine solo at our bar and hear about the rich history of our building.

BREAKFAST, LUNCH, & DINNERTreat yourself at breakfast to Fat Elvis French Toast, loaded with peanut butter and bananas for a meal fit for a King! Start off with a Southern staple, fried green tomatoes, and finish with our legendary Chicken and Waffle! Wash it all down with a specialty cocktail or choose from many mocktails. Don't forget to check out our specials board for all the events, happenings, and specials!

DOWNTOWN DINING ON THE SQUAREEnjoy a beautiful view of Downtown Watertown through our brand new windows. The fountain in the center of the square, called Rebecca and the Geese, lights up in technicolor at night! It's a view you won't want to miss.

HISTORY ON DISPLAYOur building, built in the 1850s, has quite a lot of history! If you stop in when we aren't too busy, you might be lucky enough to get a tour of all the artifacts we have found.... and you might even get to take a peek into our sub basement, where we have found old bottles from Prohibition hidden in the walls. We try to pay homage to the history and spirit of our building in every way we can!
