We’re all about great food and southern hospitality here at The Trading Post: Southern Food & Spirits. When you stop by for a meal, you’re getting so much more than just a drink and a bite to eat -- you’re in for a whole family fun experience. Our outdoor space has everything from fireplaces to cornhole to hula hoops. Plus, we even have live music to jazz up your meal. Our menu offers an array of possibilities that include seafood, burgers, fried green tomatoes, but we’re best known for our Shrimp-n-Grits. There’s just something about their special, homemade twist that keeps customers coming back craving more.
