And if you want to replicate their signature flavors at home, their famed Hot Sauce and Lemon Pepper Bottles offer a punchy kick that's become a staple among regulars.

The dining atmosphere here is as much a draw as the food. Sporting a wealth of TVs, Three Dollar Cafe is a haven for sports fans eager to catch every play in a lively, communal setting.
