Our ’8 weeks’ are almost over but we’re still going strong. This week we’re warming you up with a cup of hot, your choice. All of our to-go hot drinks are “buy 12 get 16,” pay the 12oz price for a 16oz drink. From Lattes to coffee to hot chocolates, all of 16oz sizes are the same price as a 12oz size. Don’t forget the 12oz commuter coffee is always $1 from 7-8am… we can’t carry that price over to the 16oz size, sorry!
Something very different this week. We’re giving out passwords: each day we’ll send out a new one via

At Southport Grocery we have given up on our New Years resolution to eat healthy – we tried, we really did. To celebrate our best efforts we’re selling our delectable burger for $6, Monday through Friday this week. Our burger is a savory thick hand-formed patty, topped with grilled onions, sour cream, your choice of cheese – buttermilk blue, Zingerman’s goat, butterkase, or chipotle cheddar – on a brioche bun (don’t forget about the side of red potato mash.) Oh so perfect on these cold days, something warm and delightful. If your crash diet crashed and burned, our burger will finally fill your belly – you have to treat yourself sometime.
