The restaurant is also great for kids and pets, so bring the whole family down for brunch, lunch, or dinner, or stop by with coworkers for happy hour and try signature cocktails with names such as the city clerk, the journalist, the mayor, or the commissioner.

Ever wonder what life was like in the 40s and 50s? Go visit the S&S Diner! This traditional American eatery specializes in breakfast and brunch, but serves lunch and early dinner as well. Seating is strictly limited to a U-Shaped bar area with red leather stools, and the walls are covered in old movie posters, record covers, and kitschy signs. You’ll receive unbelievably amazing small-town service, along with your hot plate of grits, pancakes, bacon and eggs, or French toast. The diner is small and quaint, but truly a hidden a gem. Whoever said less is more must have visited S&S.
