The Kitchen and Craft Bar at Homestead: Located on the ground level, this restaurant promises a family-friendly experience with a bold and expansive menu, complete with homegrown favorites as well as exciting new twists, all complimented by beverages from local breweries and signature cocktails.
The menu focuses on comfort foods from all across the U.S. and features items like a pork tenderloin sandwich from the Midwest, barbecue brisket from Texas, shrimp and grits from South Carolina and Philly cheesesteak from Philadelphia. The chef likes to think of it as “foods that built this county."
