“Sweet Pea’s Classic Soul Food is hoping for a summer 2017 opening. We will be offering delicious classic southern cuisine, desserts and beverages made with care and quality ingredients.

This is the former home to Zippin Chicken, recently reopened nearby, and a tattoo parlor. Updates as they get closer to opening!
