The Setting: An American memorabilia theme decorates the Lawrenceville location. A bar with booths, tables and a huge American flag made out of painted baseballs greet you as you enter. It’s a bright, casual and inviting restaurant that has a tendency of being a bit noisy. This is a family friendly restaurant, likely to be […] Apparently Hardee’s have been making buttermilk biscuits “from scratch” for over 30 years!

Here are a few favorite combinations for our […] On a recent visit to the Dekalb Farmer’s Market, we found three flavors of ice cream.
