The restaurant takes full advantage that it shares real estate with a tropical fruit winery and a brewery. It repurposes spent grains from the beers into tabbouleh salads and rye breads.

Shiver’s is an institution – that’s what they call you when you’ve been in business for 57 years. The requisite weathered, log cabin/picnic table-and-bench decor remains in place, with obligatory cattle horns and horseshoes on the walls. Chicken, pork, and beef go into two hickory-fueled smokers (some of the meats for up to 12 hours) […]
