It was a rainy Monday night and we decided to get out of the house and try out the newest restaurant in the Sandhills - Hickory Tavern. You've seen it up on the hill in the development along 15-501, next door to a sandhillsDig.com favorite, Pretty N' Bliss. When we arrived, we ran into our good friends Lorna & Mike Martin (you've heard Mike on MooreSportsRadio.com) and their precious daughter Mia. They invited us to sit with them at one of the longest tables I've ever seen. This giant table is first-come, first-serve seating and the cool thing is you end up sitting with other people - a perfect concept for here in the Sandhills. I'm thinking older couples, singles and people like us who otherwise would eat alone can now share a table with fun (and entertaining) people like little Mia! Of course there are plenty of other seats too if this just isn't your thing. Now, on to the dinner menu...there is a wide variety of food and I finally settled on the crab cakes which were great. My favorite part was the side of sweet potato fries that came with it, drizzled with a delicious, warm honey-butter sauce. Wes had the shrimp and grits and the Martins were kind to let us take photos of their food too - check out that wood-plank grilled salmon. Talk about tasty omega 3s. Yum.
The Sly Fox Yesterday, we lunched on chicken and manchego croquettes with roasted red pepper coulis and shepherd’s pie at what will soon be The Sly Fox in Southern Pines. sandhillsDig.com was fortunate to be “in the way” as owner, Chef Mark Elliott, Sly Fox Executive Chef Dan Piotrowicz and General Manager Andy Heisinger tested out some of their latest pub fare twists on innocent bystanders (landscapers, construction workers, etc.) But no one complained. We were also able to get some answers to the questions everyone has been asking... Where is this new restaurant located? Looking for a fun place to watch the big game? Check out what these local spots have going on!
O'Mahoney's in Southern Pines is offering an ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET (loaded with bar food & hor d'oeurvres) for $10. Plus, you can watch the game on any of their 24 HD LCD's. Interactive games are planned as well.
Mister P's, near Bill Smith Ford in Southern Pines, has specials that include $5 for any sandwich or burger & buy any appetizer and get the 2nd one at half price. Don't miss a minute of the game on one of their 12 HD flat screens.
