Food Scene
Within walking distance from the house, this is a favorite of locals! Check out their great burgers (only $6.99 on Monday evenings!) and grab a drink on their patio.
Trouble getting a table or want a more expansive menu? We highly recommend the quieter sister restaurant Hudson, just a short drive. Try the loaded fries or the mac'n cheese.
