After having some crappy chicken nearby decided to check this place out.
I was so annoyed I didn't remember this place earlier because I could have tried the pulled sandwich instead of having crappy chicken.
85 South is an American diner offering Carolina barbeque fare of pulled pork and ribs.
Although I was full, I tried the slaw for $50 which is a sidedish.
On the table they have three types of sauces representing the South, East and West of Carolina:

‘South Sauce’ - honey mustard barbecue flavour
‘West Sauce’ - tomato and barbecue flavour
‘East Sauce’ - vinegar and peppery flavour

The restaurant is nicely decorated with lots of rustic wood and benches.

Slaw:
The slaw was presented in four cute scoops.
It was finely chopped cabbages in sweet vinegar sauce American style with a gorgeous crunch.
There was also a hint of peppery kick and bits of cracked black pepper and red chili which you can visually see.
Ideally for complementing pull pork and ribs but since I was full I had on its own which got a bit sweet.
This sidedish is probably suitable for four people to share.

Lastly you can leave your mark that you've been there.

Anyway, I'll be back for the smokin ribs and pulled pork!
