In addition to barbecue, there are also USDA Prime, dry-aged steaks as well as composed entrees such as blackened Mississippi catfish with chile lime butter; a half or whole bird serving of Tim's crispy buttermilk fried chicken with a mix of white and dark meat; and grilled salmon with bourbon maple glaze.
