Newly remodeled with a cool name. Salted Cow was Smoked. Same great food. Brisket is tender with excellent flavor. On this visit, I ordered Tavern Chicken. Tender breast with steamed broccoli and seasoned potatoes. Great staff, relaxed atmosphere. Treat yourself!

Laura is an AMAZING waitress. Food is also AMAZING. We had the corn ribs and Catch All and have absolutely no complaints. Only drawback…they aren’t selling sweatshirts to rep the brand…hope they do soon!!

Opted for the Blue Crab fritters with the tiki sauce. They need to sell this sauce, it was that good. The Fritters were killer and a great starter. Split the Calabash Combo with the flounder but asked for grilled shrimp instead of the fried. Excellent, perfectly cooked and very nice portions. The mac n cheese side was also very tasty. But the broccoli was really outstanding. Perfectly cooked and whatever dressing/seasoning t
