Well now, TIPS is one rip-roarin’ shindig that brings together the local eateries and a whole posse of “Celebrity Waiters” to rustle up some funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters.

This year’s hoedown is ridin’ under a Wild Wild West theme, and you can bet those Outlaw Waiters ’ll be suited up like true frontier folk.

Don’t go draggin’ your boots— this here’s a night you won’t soon forget.

Round up your kin with an appetite, book your supper spot pronto, and saddle on in for the best supper in this coastal town!
These here renegades ain’t rustlin’ cattle nor robbin’ trains—they’re stirrin’ up heaping plates of vittles and handin’ over every last tip to Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Johns County.

If you reckon you’ve got the grit to feast, laugh, and lend a hand, then hitch your horse and join the cause. Justice is served hot, and generosity’s is on the menu.

Make your reservation today! Seating is limited.
