Shepherd's Pie, Fish and Shrimp, Mum’s Pot Roast, Countryside Chicken, Chicken
Gouda Pasta, Banger’s and Mash, and their Queen’s Filet.
But, we can’t forget to mention the item
they’re best known for, which is their famous Fish and Chips! And we’re not
exaggerating either, they’ve been awarded best Fish and Chips in the U.S., which wouldn’t be complete without their award-winning, beer-battered haddock,
house-made tartar sauce, and a side of creamy coleslaw.
Grab a seat in their beautiful outdoor dining
patio, pour a cold one from their wall of beer, and dig into a plate of
delicious grub that will surely have you feeling like you’re at a small, quaint
pub in Britain.

Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville at CityWalk
Here on I-Drive, we’re all on a seafood diet;
we see food and we eat it, and if you happen to enjoy seafood specifically,
Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville has you covered. Take a step out of the non stop action on I-Drive, and into an
ultra-relaxed dining atmosphere that is an ode to island life. As live tunes
travel through the air, enjoy various tropical sounds with the only
interruption being the eruption of the margarita-filled volcano at their
volcano bar. Choose from items like Grilled Fish Tacos, Crispy Coconut Shrimp,
and sweeter items like key lime pie and the landmark chocolate hurricane
dessert.
And, as the saying goes, it’s 5 o’clock
somewhere, so don’t forget to order up one of their 10 massively delicious
margaritas! Once you’ve placed your order, you’ll see just what it feels like

Oishi Japanese Restaurant
Get ready to ‘roll’ into something truly
savory.
Oishi Japanese Restaurant is not your average Japanese restaurant, they offer a huge variety of the
freshest sushi, a full hot kitchen including tempura and noodle entree options,
and hibachi grill dining which is a tradition for a reason - because everyone
loves hibachi.
But, whether you order up a sushi party boat
to share with friends, deliciously seared filet mignon and shrimp, sweet fried
rice in a pineapple, or one of their soups, anything you order will pair
perfectly with a sake, and luckily, you'll be seated at the Japanese restaurant
with the largest selection of sake available in the area!

Oishi, but don’t take our word for it,
