Founded by three friends, Vandal’s Kitchen is a nod to Vandal’s Tavern, which fed the weary travelers who passed through this small former mining town 200 years ago. Though tavern keeper Abraham Vandal, the founder of Fayetteville, might have had a different idea of local food, the current restaurant’s hearty Southern menu of dishes like egg and andouille sausage, avocado toast, braised kale, and cornmeal grits with feta has attracted plenty of fans.
