Sawmill Place

Top choice


This farm-to-table cabin eatery does high-quality, creative breakfast scrambles, sandwiches, biscuits and pancakes that will sooth a breakfast-lover's soul – with sweet, country-style service to boot. The Notterly Scramble (spicy collard greens, onions, bacon and cheddar cheese scrambled into three large farm-fresh eggs) and sweet-potato pancakes are top choices. Rock it off on that big front porch!

It's really about breakfast, but lunch specials like brisket pot pie aren't easy to say no to, either.
