  • Southern Summer Harvest

Southern Summer Harvest

A warm, late-summer gathering rooted in Southern flavor and harvest season charm, this experience brings together comforting, crowd-pleasing bites with a fresh, seasonal twist. Guests can enjoy fried green tomato bites, hot honey chicken biscuits, sweet corn succotash cups, and peach BBQ pork skewers—balancing savory richness with just the right touch of sweetness.

Behind the bar, the focus stays on ripe, fruit-forward flavors with a Peach Sangria, Bourbon Peach Tea, and Muscadine Spritz, each designed to complement the menu and keep the mood light and easy.

Set in an open-air, relaxed setting, the ambiance leans into late summer with sunflower accents, soft peach tones, and farmhouse-inspired textures. The overall feel is casual, welcoming, and designed for slow evenings, easy conversation, and a steady flow of food and drinks.
