About Between The Antlers

Between The Antlers, located between the steel mill and Front street, on a bluff called Vinegar Hill on the Sampit River, in the heart of Georgetown with a damn good view.  George Washington drank rum here in 1791 when it was a federal wharf.  We hope you come visit us and all the restaurants here and realize why this is the greatest place in the world. But please don’t tell anybody.

“The food is wonderful and unique ; SHE CRAB SOUP, RED RICE, SHRIMP OR OYSTER PILAU, HOPPIN JOHN, chicken bog. While there I am living proof – positive of John Peale Bishop’s dictum that the true test of a civilization is an INDIGENOUS COOKERY. On the salt I participate; I am rapturously civilized.”

James Dickey, “The Starry Place Between The Antlers”
