The menu is full of “clever, hands-on bar food,” which includes an impressive selection of specialty sandwiches and burgers as well as creative entrees that are locally-inspired but have a bit of twist.
Located a bit off the beaten path, The Country Kitchen is known for two things – daily lunch specials and a packed parking lot, which is probably the result of the mouthwatering southern fare and homemade desserts.
