At Columbia’s 1209 Franklin Street, where its Cottontown neighborhood meets its Main Street, lies an oasis of respite and repast. The War Mouth serves strong drink, cold beer and delicious local favorites like whole-hog barbecue, slowly cooked over hardwood embers, alongside Carolina Gold rice and old-fashioned hash, smoked ribs or catfish stew and cornbread, or deviled eggs and boiled peanuts, or whatever fresh local produce is on hand, stewed, pickled, charred, fresh and simple, or whatever is called for to eat well.
