Cozy joint for Mexican food right at the end of town. Don’t let the exterior fool you – the interior is a totally different experience. Easy pick-up also!

Friendly neighborhood bar, with upscale burgers and other bar food. There's a location on 4th Street in Highlands too, but we're partial to the Cashiers location for its large outdoor area that’s better for kids. Both locations have free EV chargers (both J1772 and Tesla).
