Food and service are always excellent. I took my mom out, needed some normalcy after losing my dad recently. This is where we hosted my dad's 70th birthday surprise party, where most of my family attended, so it was a fond memory. Also, If you're a sports fan, not myself, but if you are, this is a great spot, games on every monitor. Cask and Pig has the best BBQ in the area, full stop. Sticky ribs are my favorite and their Portuguese BBQ fusion is executed remarkably well. Go check it out and bring an appetite, servings are generous.

We love the Shanty and the Corner House, same owner. Kara has taken a former local bar and turned it into an incredible restaurant for all. Normally you can tell a restaurant by the cars in the parking lot. Tonight there were pick up trucks, SUVs, older model cars and a Rolls Royce. The staff is tremendous, always smiling, seemingly a "family" and you are part of their family. The food is always incredible. Great portions, tasty, hot or cold, depending on the item with an innovative menu. Tonight the specials were too good to resist and then there is the "Big Ole Burger" another favorite. It was our second time this week, the first was a takeout after a long workday. The second, a meetup with friends.
