“A Hot Blooded Southern Favorite!”
Valet parking now offered on John St. every evening between 6pm-12am! Virginia brought up a family of her own, raising four boys and two girls. For years, the Bennett family went to church on Sunday and then came home to Sunday Family Dinner. Traditionally, Southern families joined together in the afternoon for good company, conversation, and the familiar dishes prepared from family recipes, collected and passed down through the years. Virginia’s children grew older, and soon had children of their own. As their lives grew to be busier, it became difficult to carry on the long-time Sunday tradition. Nevertheless, Red wanted to keep the children close. Thus began Thursday Family Dinner, where the Bennett family gathers each week at noon. Coming together on Thursdays allowed most everyone to join. The first Thursday Family Dinner was in 1983. Red passed away just a few years later. For years, Virginia has kept the tradition alive in memory of him. She still prepares the home cooked Southern fare that for years has graced the dinner table of the Bennett household. Virginia’s home is no longer a host to only her children and grandchildren but to family friends as well, and now, you. Our inspiration for this restaurant came from Warren J. and Virginia Bennett, tried and true Southerners with a family tradition of creating an atmosphere of hospitable, southern comfort, good company and fine dishes.
