The knight wears a straw hat, a gray ponytail peeking from behind. No armor,
either, just a nylon rope holding up his jeans.
Meet Lance Leopard, proprietor of Sir Lancelot's Restaurant & Leopard's
Lounge on Johns Island.
"'Cause I'm Lance, and I'm Leopard," he says. Good enough, much like his
establishment, a no-frills, back-to-basics, blue-plate-special kind of
place. Formerly Stevereno's Pizza, it's medieval just in title.
The capable Kenny Petit, chef of the bygone Bobo's Deli and Grille, mans the
kitchen, whipping up sides, sandwiches, pizza and killer daily specials.
Give it up: The man can hook up some fried flounder ($8.95). It's lightly
breaded, almost buttery to the touch, tender and delicious, and served
alongside red rice and a mess of green beans, cooked in wonderful, fatty
bacon.
Leopard admits he's a steak-and-potatoes kind of guy, and the rib-eye steak
($12.95) and hamburger steak ($8.95) specials back him up. All dinners come
with choice of baked potato (add $1 for loaded), red rice, french fries,
plus cole slaw or vegetable and a roll.
Pizzas such as the Beach Break ($15.95 medium, $20.95 large) — shrimp, crab,
red onion, garlic and herb sauce — add spunk to the menu. The soprano
($12.95 medium, $16.95 large) with pancetta, pepperoni, spinach, onion,
mozzarella on garlic olive and herb sauce looks appealing. All specialty
pies can also be made into calzones.
Bar fare includes the typical: wings (six for $4.50), chicken tenders
($5.95), calamari ($6.95) and nachos ($5.95).
Among the sandwiches, the philly cheese steak ($7.50) is very good, melted
mozzarella cheese coating finely chopped steak.
Leopard also plans to serve breakfast beginning in January.
Another excellent move, Sir Lancelot.
