Two chefs run this weekday lunch spot on Highway 86 in Piedmont, and it shows on a specials board that turns over by the day. What could have been an ordinary sandwich counter instead cooks from scratch with local ingredients, and the menu wanders happily past the usual into deconstructed Navajo tacos, hog jowl taco boxes, and green chili goat cheese queso.
Alongside the sandwiches and burgers are shareable plates worth splitting: mac and cheese bites with pepper jam, fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese, Brussels sprouts in a balsamic reduction with goat cheese. The same kitchen handles catering for weddings, corporate lunches, and events across the Upstate, and packs take-and-bake family meals for the nights nobody feels like cooking.
The chicken salad is the one people mention most, offered regular, jalapeño cheddar, or pecan and sometimes tucked into cucumber cups. With the specials changing through the week, half the fun is landing on the order that becomes your own.
