This restaurant has closed since this post was published. Located in the Cherrydale community of Greenville, sits an inconspicuous joint called the Dive-N-Boar. Sitting in a strip center, off a busy Hwy 291, you would not suspect that great things happen inside this place, like good food and great music! Locals probably realize the appeal with Happy Hour from 4 pm – 7 pm with drink specials and $5.00 appetizers, this place is a great location to meet friends and unwind. Friday and Saturday nights are JAM NIGHT with local musicians belting out their tunes and entertaining a full dining crowd. Although currently undergoing a massive kitchen renovation, the vibe…

Sizzling Steaks at Appalachian Grill
This photo of Appalachian Grill is courtesy of TripAdvisor Appalachian Grill in Cartersville, Georgia Located just 30 minutes northeast of Dallas, Cartersville can lay claim to one of the most quaint, romantic steak house restaurants in this area. The Appalachian Grill offers all standard cuts of beef (rib-eye, strip, filet, and sirloin) prepared in their own special way, with signature flavor and spices. Also on the menu are various fish and pasta entrees, with a small kids menu available. However, the steaks are what most patrons come for. The rustic, mountainous charm presented in this small, cozy restaurant nestled in downtown Cartersville is an unsuspecting delight in suburbia. The lighting…

Mac’s Speed Shop Offers More Than Barbecue
Mac’s Speed Shop is a restaurant originally opened 11 years ago, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Currently with six locations between North and South Carolina, the five owners take pride in their concept of “traditional barbecue” matched with good beer; however, the restaurant offers other comfort foods such as burgers, wings and their popular Mac ‘n Cheese. Although reluctant to eat restaurant style barbecue, my husband and I visited because I wanted a good burger. Atmosphere Advertised as a “beer, bikes and bbq bar,” I was a little intimidated, but their casual, open atmosphere put my mind at ease right away. The high ceilings and exposed duct system lends itself to…

Huey Luey’s is a Good Mexican Restaurant in Hiram
Mexican Restaurant in Hiram? Apprehensive about just another Mexican restaurant in Hiram, I was intrigued by the name Huey Luey’s Fine Mexican Food. Skeptical “fine Mexican Food” could mean higher prices and gourmet style, I was reluctant. Regardless of very little research, I visited on a weekday evening for dinner. Ambiance Promptly seated, the casual, bright dining room, filled with colorful Mexican trinkets and displays were festive. Music was faintly playing in the background, contributing to a relaxed atmosphere, with the ability to have a conversation. Admittedly, this was early in the evening, just prior to happy hour. Immediately, I received the traditional, but complimentary corn tortilla…
