About

Rex pairs Southern-accented New American cooking with a full bar in a reclaimed-wood dining room. The vegan Not So Crabby Cakes use hearts of palm and are seasoned to evoke a crab cake, though a 2023 review noted that vegan choices were scarce compared with the pork and shellfish-heavy menu.
