Food Scene
INCREDIBLE food!! Walk in the door and they're going to offer you samples of just about everything on the menu before you buy! Different spice levels and sauce options. Not much room to sit and eat (about 3 tables) but worth the trek there and back just to taste that wonderful barbeque. Yum!!

Café
Fantastic, incredibly fresh, local coffee. Ethically sourced, roasted in Griffin, GA by Safehouse Coffee Roasters. The people here are warm and welcoming. The coffee is some of the best in the world. My opinion! They have seasonal drinks and offer the best in consistency.
And they also make pastries, snacks, salads and other delicious foods on site.
