Tips from the community
The Little Tea Shop would have been the city’s oldest running restaurant, but after opening in 1918 they closed their doors in the 1940’s during WWII. Luckily, the establishment re-opened for business later and has been managed by Jimmy Lauck since 1982. The Little Tea Shop serves classic southern fare in a down home-style structure. It feels like a step back in time and the menu goes along with this vibe. Try the Lacy Special which comes with chicken and gravy served atop a bed of cornbread.
