Comfort Food with a Twist

The Pony and the Boat Comfort Kitchen elevates comfort food by focusing on high-quality ingredients and scratch-made preparation with no shortcuts. We bring creative flair to soul-nourishing comfort food favorites like chicken pot pie, fried chicken, mac & cheese, pot roast, shrimp & grits, and all our menu items and specials. Our entrée and two sides of your choice concept brings sides into the spotlight – crispy Brussels sprouts, twice-baked potatoes, cornbread, cole slaw, and more are given as much focus and attention as the mains.

Our dinner menu offers something for everyone. Our bar offerings include craft cocktails, an extensive bourbon list, craft brews and carefully selected wines.
