You'll probably want to drive or take a ride share. About 2 miles from the house. (its across the street from Silver Dollar) Fantastic whiskey list. Saloon style menu. Open late and usually hopping after midnight. Currently advising reservations as they're taking Covid super seriously and are only doing limited seating. Wonderful Southern brunch option.

Awesome lunch spot behind La Bogaduita de Mima (big yellow building on Market; just walk around the side to the back. Its located in the building behind the restaurant, under the covered patio area). Arepas are South American street food; kinda like a sandwich but on a corn based thick tortilla type bread. Tons of options, and the servings are HUGE. We usually split but they reheat well if you have leftovers. Try the fresh juices too; they're delicous.
