Well sportsfans, it’s once again time to enjoy good food, good beer and good games. Whether it is heading to the game hours before kickoff to stake claim in the parkinglot, or serving a rowdy crowd at home on Sunday, we all know the competition extends far beyond the game itself. Everyone wants the title of best tailgater. Best Sunday grub. Most delicious beer selection.

So let us help you win this year! You can take all the credit- we won’t tell.

Our meat will set your grill apart. Our quality standards include no antibiotics, no growth hormones, and no byproducts in feed. We have a huge variety of meat and cuts, including sausages, grill ready kebobs and fresh regional beef. Your crowd will taste the difference! Our seafood is fresh, our crabcakes are amazing, and you know where everything comes from. No guessing games with us. Vegetarians, don’t sweat it! We have some delicious veggie friendly items too!

Let’s talk beer! We have an amazing selection of beer cornered in the back of the store by the community room. Yazoo is a Nashville favorite. Sierra Nevada Anniversary ale is on sale through Tuesday! For a lighter fruity beer, Pyramid Apricot Ale is quite delicious. Lefthand Sawtooth Ale from Colorado is a customer favorite that flies off the shelf. And just beacuse you have celiac disease doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a good brew. Redbridge makes a Gluten Free beer that is quite tasty! If you want to mix it up, there are several ways- we have American Craft & European Brew variety packs that feature several different domestic or import beers. Or you can create your own 6-pack for $8.99. Flying Dog also has an amazing variety pack featuring 6 of their bottled brews. Beer-check.

Our produce department has fresh guacamole and heirloom tomato salsa! Our prepared food department has wings wings wings! And so many other favorites to compliment your grill. Don’t forget dessert! Our bakery has 2 bite cupcakes that are to die for! Order early and get them iced in your team color! And if you want to make things easy, we have a full catering menu featuring cheese trays, veggie platters, breakfast platters, shrimp cocktail, wing platters, dip platters and more.
