This Down-Home Steakhouse In Oxford, North Carolina Serves 20-Ounce Ribeyes With A Huge Salad Bar
Some steakhouses spend their budget on dark wood and fancy lighting. This one in Oxford, North Carolina spends it on the grill instead. Out here in Granville County, a small-town spot has been quietly turning out ribeyes big enough to hang over the edge of the plate, including a hefty 20-ounce cut. Every steak comes with a trip to a salad bar that people talk about almost as much as the beef.

Residents fighting against traffic congestion and strained infrastructure in Durham celebrated a preliminary victory Tuesday night after the Planning Commission rejected two proposed developments. During a nearly three-hour meeting, the commissioners heard proposals for three new housing developments across the city, rejecting two controversial ones. Both the 437-home Morgan Farm II subdivision and a downsized 27-unit townhome project on Grandale Drive failed to secure the advisory board’s favorable recommendations.
