The State Newspaper – April 22, 2014

Just this week “The State” newspaper made it’s top picks for the best food in the Midlands – and where you can find it.  We were thrilled to get a mention, along with our sister restaurant, Solstice Kitchen!

Solstice Kitchen got picked for a top spot in the “Farm-to-Table” category for their unbelievably delicious Sweet Tea Brined Heritage Farms Pork Chop.

And yours truly, Mr. Friendly’s, scooped up a top spot in the “Dessert” category for our famous Moonpies! This homemade dessert consists of freshly baked praline wafers layered with white chocolate mousse and drizzled with chocolate & raspberry sauce. Moonpies are served Monday nights alongside our House-Ground Meatloaf and Half-Priced Wine!
