We run a different special every day, and after enough years the pattern has become the thing people plan around. Our regulars know what day it is by what's on the board.
Here's the whole week, so you can pick your night.
Sunday you don't have to choose. Both of the dishes this restaurant was built on, hand-breaded and unlimited, on the same plate. If you only ever eat one meal at Flat Creek, make it this one.
Slow-cooked, sauced, and brought out until you tell us to stop.
Hand-breaded and smothered in cream gravy, with mashed potatoes, green beans, and a fresh roll.
Smoked first, then sauced and finished, served with fries.
Pick your side of the menu and we'll keep it coming. Both hand-breaded, both unlimited.
A proper boil, or a plate of crab legs with drawn butter.
Crusted, roasted, and cut to order — the one night the menu goes upscale without going fussy.
The one that makes regulars
Chicken fried chicken is the plate people picture when they picture comfort food, and it's the one that most often turns a first-time visitor into a regular. Hand-breaded, fried, and smothered in cream gravy, with mashed potatoes, green beans, and a roll straight out of the oven.
It's a Tuesday special for a reason. Tuesday is a quiet night in most restaurants, and this is the plate that fills a dining room on one.
About the all-you-can-eat nights
Monday, Thursday, and Sunday are unlimited, and we mean it — we keep bringing plates until you're done. Thursday you pick catfish or fried chicken. Sunday you get both. Two things worth knowing if you're planning around one of them.
First, don't order an appetizer unless you know exactly what you're doing. Our portions are large before the refills start.
Second, come hungry and come early. The all-you-can-eat nights draw a crowd, and the kitchen moves faster at 5 than at 7.

Planning around it
All four locations run the same specials, so whichever Flat Creek is closest to you, Tuesday is chicken fried chicken and Saturday is prime rib.
Friday is our busiest night of the week — the seafood boil and crab legs pull people from a long way out. In summer, and especially at Cape Fair, expect a wait after about 6pm unless you've called ahead.
If you'd rather eat at home, most of the specials are available to order online for pickup.
