I had a decent lunch there a few weeks ago - I got one of the grilled chicken sandwiches, which was pretty decent. SP's strongest attribute is that outdoor deck, which is one of the nicest in the Triangle when it's good weather out. Eric

I also recommend the desserts (large portions), esp. the apple cobbler, and the chili nachos as an appetizer (easily large enough to make a meal, and, at, $6, a rather inexpensive meal, at that). I'll make sure I avoid the steaks. -- twicker
