Looking for some tasty wings or a good ‘ole fashioned burger with hand-cut fries? There are plenty of places to choose from, many with specialty sauces, unique spins on classics, and locally-sourced ingredients. And we know it’s odd, but we’re known for our little hot dog places. They’re good and the source on a never ending debate on who makes them the best. Ask a local if they are Team Teo’s or Team Hot Dog Ranch.
Flat Burger Society
The folks who brought us Thistle and Mirth have opened a new spot a few yards down the road with the unpretentious tagline: “Flat Burgers. Live Music. In a Basement.” They offer traditional and new twists on burgers (yes, they really are flat for extra flavor) using local beef,, fries and beers. Check facebook page for music schedule and trivia nights.
