The museum explores the life and times of local blues legend B.B. King, and offers field trips for classes and guided tours of the building.
A long-time local favorite offering mostly traditional Southern foods such as mashed potatoes, country fried steaks, chicken fingers, and salads. Highly recommended by the locals. Prices are very reasonable. Their homemade potato salad is one of the highlights you shouldn't miss out on.
A wide variety of pizza, sandwiches, sides and desserts, as well as a huge selection of import and domestic beers. The restaurant is themed with a hybrid mix of Southern and Islander cultures with various decorations adorning the interior, such as antiques and signs.
