Next up, swing by Bad Habit Brewing, a local favorite that always delivers good vibes. If you’re a craft beer fan, you’ll love their rotating selection of brews.

It’s the perfect place to sit back, relax, and soak in the small-town atmosphere.

They have the best outdoor patio!

I had the Teriyaki Beef from the Hawaiian Grill! It was so delicious.
