You'll find tables filled with locals, enjoying the game or sharing a family meal. But you'll also find those visiting the area, in search of a good meal.
Pizza and wings are both popular choices, especially when paired with a cold brew. While the menu is made up of various "bar foods," they are all elevated with excellent flavor, preparation, and large portions.
The burgers are also a favorite on the menu and they come with a pile of fries on the side.
This filling meal is perfect after a day of waterfall chasing. Also keep in mind, if you are in town on a Wednesday, Shep's Place is closed that day, but open every other day of the week.
