Co-Owner Shannon Dougherty always had a penchant for the arts. As Shannon grew and developed into a cultured and eclectic young woman her affinity for the arts began to encompass everything from painting and writing, to culinary creation. Henceforth, A Full Plate Catering was conceived back in 2000. Through word of mouth and hard work, it grew into a creative and reliable catering establishment, but Dougherty wanted to feed the masses at their whim. Enter Co-Owner Liz Petersen. Liz had long wanted to own her own business, in which she could create a comfortable atmosphere that appeased all walks of life. Thus was born A Full Plate Café & Catering. Today Shannon and Liz are busy Co-owning and operating the cafe, that's buzzing with Good food, Good People, and a Good atmosphere.

Although I think "Southern Fusion" is probably a better definition for a Full Plate, you can't beat the taste and value. It's a friendly comfortable environment with everything from Chicken and Waffles to Ribs and great Mac & Cheese. I'm a regular customer of the weekend brunch!!!

The food is beyond superb and the atmosphere is friendly and comfortable. It would take effort on behalf of the diner to have a bad experience at this wonderful cafe!
