I was recently out and about in a neighboring town. Wasn't much of a planned itinerary but one that called for lunch at a local spot. Only Yelp reviews to help find the way.
2Dog was the quaint little place my map was headed to. On a side road, not visible to those that pass the main drag daily. The outside decor had me curious and the inside didn't disappoint either. From the cute salt and pepper shakers on each table to the decorations in every nook and cranny of the interior. Oh so many to share.
The cork wall. A creative flair I liked. Of course it also accented one of many cute salt and pepper shakers that I did photograph. Not sure what the other patrons thought of my actions but it was worth sharing thus I documented the experience with photos.
The bottle cap trim work in the background of some odd looking shakers. Another creative wall theme. As cute as the decor was, it was nestled in and old house thus requiring one to squeeze a lot into a small footprint while keeping the original charm.
Fireplace were repurposed. Old charm remained with accent pieces and some stone or pebble creation added for flair.
Food was good too. I mean that is why I went in the first place. This was a classic dish I often order for brunch. Shrimp and grits. In this case I opted for the sauce on the side as it had barbecue flavor whereas I would normally get a Cajun spin on the dish. Nonetheless I was unsure of the taste. A bit sweet for my liking but a good quality meal and the price was decent. 8.5 out of 10 on the food score.
A quick visit to the restroom and boom! This crazy naked lady is watching you. Talk about up front and personal. She might have been a bit odd and creepy for my liking but she was definitely going into the documenting pile. Of course the signage on the restroom doors were even cute: Dick and Jane.
Another giggle as I passed the men's room on the way out. Many more photos were taken but I will leave you with this. If you are ever in Gainesville, GA give this place a try. It's only open for short times daily but it's worth a try. If not in this area of the country, check out a small town restaurant you have never been to. I'm sure the experience will be worth it and it's always great to support a small locally-owned business.
