"Home of the Hubcap"

"You gotta go to Cotham's for their Hubcap burger". That's what Ross and Taya have been told so we decided to check out Cotham's. It was a twenty minute drive out to the Scott Plantation area to find this historical treasure!



Perched on stilts over a swamp this former mercantile store was built in 1912 for the local farmers, but history records it also served as the military commissary, and lock up for local law violators who were awaiting trial by the circuit rider judge.

In 1984 a small eating area was added for local farmers to get lunch. The specialty - the hubcap burger - a way too big but incredibly good burger.

Loved this Coke cooler on the front porch.

The stunning interior

We tried the fried green tomatoes as our appetizer and LOVED them!

regular cheeseburger/ hubcap burger

Mississippi Mud Pie for dessert - just because, ok!


What a fun place to end our afternoon out. We didn't need any dinner either.
