That is all very reasonably priced.
I like the "draught" beers :-)
That's "downtown" sort of pricing. We're more used to entrees being in the $8 range, with portions big enough for a second meal at home.

The classic "biscuits and gravy" looks like something the dog ate and didn't like. But it's awfully good, done right.

You're too kind, Jim! Thanks again for your hospitality a couple of weeks ago.
We were down in SC in July and went so far as to visit Cracker Barrel to try collard greens and such like (is that as bad as going to Taco Bell to try Mexican grub?), but never have had Southern home cooking.
Cracker Barrel is pretty good for "down home" style. There's even one here in PHX that I go to once or twice a year. My main objection is that the portion sizes are HUGE!
I haven't been in a Taco Bell since back when they first opened.
I'll take you to Aunt Chilada's the next time you visit.

I think that answers itself - no.
Don't forget to add "Bless your heart"
I was always sort of lukewarm about grits until I was introduced to "Shrimp & Grits" in Memphis. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it...
You missed a hilarious movie!

The Brat invented the side order of sausage gravy as a dip for french fries, at Mary Belle's in Auburn, CA.
John
Well, she did it on purpose, ordered a cheesesteak sandwich, fries, side of sausage gravy. That's invention, not discovery. The menu didn't even mention gravy as a side, but Mary Belle's is very accommodating.
Their cherry cobbler is astonishing.
Bratinella is doing our PCB layout these days. Pretty well, for a softball+psychology major.
John
Yeah, for $19 it oughta be called polenta.
Nah, grits, cheese or not, won't stay down long enough.
With sausage, your heart needs to be blessed.
Here in Baltimore, replace "hunny" with "Hon".
Also, grits in Dixie-speak is properly pronounced with at least two or three syllables:
"Gree-Yi-Yets"

Grits and Polenta aren't quite the same. Corn meal mush is closer to Polenta. Around here you can buy Polenta at the grocery, in a form quite like a meat stick... just slice and fry.

The Canadians discovered that one a long time ago:
