Sweet and savory dishes on the menu

Where:

Blue Southern Comfort Food & Ice Cream Parlor

What:

Chicken Caesar salad pizza appetizer: Yes, you read that correctly. They take a tangy chicken Caesar salad and serve it atop a crispy brick oven-cooked pizza crust for a unique taste that is superb. Strawberry Salad: Baby spinach, fresh strawberries, candied pecans, feta cheese, grilled chicken and drizzled with a honey vinaigrette dressing. The small is great to pair with a meal; the large is a meal.

Blue Burger: The burger that put this restaurant on the map. Tasty burger patty topped with Swiss or cheddar cheese and bacon jam. For your side order, get the cheese grits. You’ll be glad you did.

Cookies and Cream Oreo Sundae: Homemade ice cream, chocolate syrup, marshmallow fluff, Oreos = Delectable.

Southern Belle Cocktail: Deep Eddy Peach, Maker’s Mark bourbon, sweet & sour and soda. Very refreshing and perfect drink for the fall.
