Listing Directory: General

  • The Southern General

    This unassuming sandwich shop puts out panko shrimp cozied up inside a hoagie, a Cu-bahn-mi with candied pork belly, and a Southern pot roast hoagie with gravy. Rib-sticking entrees like fish and chips and fried pork chops, plus beers on tap, make this a relaxed spot where you can bring the kids.

  • The Codfather

    Proper fish and chips are served in this British-style chippy with a slightly dive-y feel. And the food is spot on; crispy, tender fish, savory pies, sausage rolls, and craft brews in a roomy space make this Park Circle haunt a favorite.

  • The Crab Shack

    The Crab Shack

    The best of the local chain, Crab Shack anchors the Center Street scene. Patio diners are a raucous, mixed lot of families and happy-hour types. Look for a barrel of peanuts, plastic utensils, a raw bar, the requisite fried fare, buckets of steamed oysters, snow crab, and Frogmore stew.

  • The Daily

    This café on Upper King serves up Onyx coffee in all forms– from cold brew to cortado– and smoothies to sip solo or with bowls or fancy toasts. Artisan breads, pastries, sandwiches, and salads are ready to eat in or grab to go. Find local produce, dairy, and specialty items as well.

  • Revival

    At this sunlit restaurant at The Vendue, classics get a modern spin. Start with the chopped salad, with roasted pimentos, artichokes, shaved red onion, and green olives, adapted from a 1904 World’s Fair recipe. Fish or fowl to follow—and always an eight-ounce filet.

  • Stella’s

    Start your Greek feast with meze (small plates) such as the keftedes (beef and lamb meatballs). Then opt for the pikelia tasting platter tour of five dishes with souvlaki and spanakopita. The grilled psari (whole fish of the day) is a reliably pleasing main.

  • Rita’s Seaside Grill

    Rita’s Seaside Grill

    Managed by the same folks who own Halls Chophouse downtown, Rita’s is convenient to the beach and serves as a great place to start your morning or rendezvous later for a filling meal. Live music often graces the patio in the afternoon, making it the ideal spot to fuel up after a long day on…

  • Stems & Skins

    A cozy natural wine haven, Stems & Skins offers an extensive list by the bottle and glass along with spirits, an impressive selection of vermouth, international beers, and small plates of cheeses, charcuterie, Mediterranean-style dishes, tinned seafood, and desserts.

  • Rodney Scott’s BBQ

    Rodney Scott has stoked a far-reaching reputation as a barbecue virtuoso. Venture into all things porcine with a whole hog plate or the succulent ribs. Scott’s cornmeal-crusted catfish filet is stellar, and the creamy banana pudding alone makes it worth paying a visit.

  • Sullivan’s Seafood and Bar

    Sullivan’s Seafood and Bar

    Equal parts ’70s time capsule and breezy beach vibe, this island addition offers nostalgic maritime decor, as well as throwback menu items, from baked oysters to fried seafood baskets. However, circa-2023 culinary flourishes, like the miso brown butter that dresses a warm lobster roll and bright, fresh crudos, up the ante for fish camp fare.…
