This is the second time I have visited this restroom . The food and drinks were delicious. Heads up the Tuna Reuben is made with real tuna. I was expecting the typical tuna mixture you would use for a tuna sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised to see they used tuna steaks.

The Royal Restaurant is a fabulous local neighborhood restaurant. My friends , my foody dog and I had a late lunch there on a Saturday afternoon and sat out on the patio. Great atmosphere very relaxed and the food couldn’t be beat. Here are some standouts: chicken wings, deviled eggs (just wow!), shrimp and grits (the consensus is this was the best s&g we’ve ever had, and we’ve tried a lot). Panzanella salad with chicken was fresh and delicious. Smoked brisket hash was great and the accompanying breakfast spuds were to behold. One disappointing note is that biscuits and gravy are no longer on the menu. This was a fantastic dish and the biscuits were to die for - please bring this back! I also appreciated the big bowl of water the waitress brought my dog. The crowd was dog-friendly. Hands-down one of the best casual dining options in Old Town.
