Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
Since 2012, Grub Brothers Eatery & Little Brown Jug, has been celebrating life’s large and tiny moments with food so delicious, you’ll want to order one of everything on the extensive menu. Located in the heart of the downtown Washington Historic District, this charming, local restaurant is loved for its twist on Cajun and Southern cuisine and its southern hospitality. The choices are endless, with 13 carefully-crafted side dishes alone — from okra fritters and devilish eggs to grub chips — your entree will provoke a happy dance when served. And a lot of effort went into the clever names of the cuisine, such as Possum in the Trash, Boocoo Fries, and Voodoo Shrimp. But the best news: You can always return to try something else, as this restaurant is open seven days a week. Come on in, grub with us, and see how long it takes you to decide what to order.
West Main Street in Washington, North Carolina, offers more than one reason to visit this historic area.
The shrimp is a mainstay here. Enjoy it as an appetizer of Old Bay-seasoned jumbo, steamed to order with a side of spicy cocktail sauce and melted butter if you please.
And the Cold Empty Plate is everything but, stock-piled with pimento cheese; devilish eggs; and your choice of chicken, pasta, or potato salad; with the sweet, crunchy touches of baby romaine lettuce cups and homemade crackers.
Seriously — how many ingredients can you pack onto one plate?
Onto something more substantial: Meet the barroom queen, aka, The Honkey Tonk, built with a generous Angus beef patty, American cheese, pulled pork, lettuce, tomato, crunchy onion straws, and drizzled with Grub-BQ sauce.
And nothing says comfort more than this cheesy, delightfully baked spaghetti dinner special, heated to perfection with plenty of melted mozzarella and spicy pepperoni.
Yes — that first luscious bite definitely makes you feel like it is your birthday, or your wedding day, or just I love me day — whatever the occasion, treat yourself today.
Grub Brothers Eatery & Little Brown Jug is open every day, and it isn’t hard to find a reason to walk in and spend some time perusing the menu.
