I received an e-mail from a friend in Dayton OH who told me about it.

Went there for my birthday in January. I had shrimp and grits (fantastic) and my husband had country fried steak. Sorry we did not have room for dessert since the cakes looked out of this world.

I didn't hear of it either until I came to the south. Sounds really good, and lots of people love it here. I took a small ship cruise through the southeast and they served it one night for dinner. I was so shocked but I've seen it here in FL many nights as a special. I love grits (NY style of course, lol)

My Mother & Grandmother made doilies and handkerchiefs too (Spelling?)
I can crochet but never made doilies, hats, scarves and blankets were my thing,

Shrimp & Grits is a Low Country specialty, the Carolinas do it best.
Where is this place? Can we plan a night out?

Shrimp and Grits are the best (especially if served on a bed of collard greens!!)- I was about to drive back to SC to
get some which would be easier than my trying to duplicate it!!!
Can't wait to try the Cotillion Cafe.

Let's be serious now, people. Does anybody really east grits? Really. Be honest. Actually eat them?

[Hawkwind]

Okay, I clicked onthe link and went to the menu and it has a few things I have never heard of but sounded good. Any idea what Dixie Caviar and Redneck Nachos may be?

I have had dinner at the Cotillion Southern Cafe many times and always enjoyed it. If you go there you must know that they do not serve any alcohol but do allow you to BYOB at $2.50pp.The menu is small, but it does seem to have something for everyone. The shrimp and grits are with cheese grits and while I was not a 'grit fan' this combination is awesome. With the dinners you get soup or salad - they only have one salad dressing - a homemade almost poppy seed like - you can buy the dry mix at the restaurant to make at home. The entrees are in the $12-$16 range with the crab cake platter and seafood platter a little higher, so it is not cheap eats. They also have some sandwiches and dinner salads in the $10 range, but I have never tried one. You simply must try the desserts even if you have to get a slice to go. Definitely two thumbs up - but remember it is southern food and not for someone on a diet.
