Farm-to-table dinners at the Butcher's Son
Hungry residents hop on the expressway to shop and dine at the Edinburgh North or Edinburgh East Shopping Centers. Some even travel 10 miles away to eat at the Butcher’s Son. This American steakhouse supports local farms and offers savory steaks and seafood. If locals need an easy meal option, popular chain restaurants like Chick-fil-A and Arby’s wait off the expressway. Residents can get farm-fresh produce at Hickory Ridge Farm, Pinewoods Farms, Greenbriar Farms and Big House Farm. Those who don’t have time to wait until the farmer’s markets open use the expressway to shop at the nearby Target or Walmart.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
