Food Scene

The 1929 mansion with original hardwood flooring and authentic light fixtures, presumably financed by Al Capone, was put on the National Register of Historic Places in December of 1997. The three-story compound once had escape hatches on the roof and underground tunnels in the basement used by Capone for the transferring of liquor in the twenties and early thirties. Local legend reveals tales of Capone and John Dillinger lounging outside on the mountain stone patio having drinks and playing numerous hands of cards.

This is a simple and predictable place. Dont expect menus and rapid services. When you go to the Annex you will find basic short order style breakfast foods (no pancakes). The staff is local grandmas, the place may be filled with the local men having coffee. If you have a little time and you just want to do something really old-school and pure Americana then have breakfast at Annex Cafe.

When you go to Sewanee for a walk, a bike ride or to view the stunning 19th century European style cathedral you need to plan to have a burger at Shenanigans. The little enclave of Sewanee has limited offerings, and sitting on the porch at Shenanigans with a beer and a burger is one of our favorites!
