Some of the best food in area. Limited seating so make reservations well in advance. Owner sometimes gets his musical MOJO going at end of evening. A little pricier.... but most definitely worth it.
Gator Fans must check out all of the UF paraphernalia on the walls. Owners Father held the distinction of holding the record for most points scored (108) in a single season for over 44 years. He later became UofF's Athletic Director.

Art Gallery
A great Art Gallery located a block south of the crossroads in Cashiers. Strike up with a conversation with owner/artist David Berger, he can discuss each of the artists and their work or veer off into a discussion on the best place to fly fish for trout or his hand tied lures. Also a great place to purchase pottery to commemorate your visit to the mountains (made by your host...me).
