GREAT NEWS: Blue Ox Music Festival weekend just got even better! We've got a line up that can rival the stage - from our "June Apple" apple strudel bread french toast (photo 1), to the "20 Cups of Coffee Crêpe" espresso crêpe filled with mocha chip mascarpone cream and topped with mocha truffle trizzle & powdered sugar (photo 2).

Like those? Don't miss the encores: our "Summer Skies" watermelon cucumber salad with red onion, feta, mint, and lime vinaigrette (photo 3), and our "Del and Jean's Biscuits & Gravy" featuring fresh baked biscuits and house-made sausage gravy (photo 4)!
