Summer is finally here, and that means some exciting changes to our fresh, seasonal menu!

One of the tastiest additions to the menu is our Crinkle Cut Rosemary Garlic Fries… They go great with all of our burgers and sandwiches, or make a delicious snack as well.

We’ve also added a new Green Chili Cheese Burger (roasted chilies and american cheese) to our burger menu. It goes great with an icy cold draft beer and our new fries!

Finally our dinner menu has added a Spicy Cajun Flounder dish to tempt the palate. The flounder is crusted in cajun seasonings, cooked to perfection, and served with fresh sauteed garlic spinach and rice. Perfect with a nice glass of wine on a summer evening.

So come down and try some of our new dishes, we know you won’t be disappointed…. and remember Happy Hour is still 4-6pm Tuesday- Friday!

As most of you know (or should know by now) we’ve rolled out our new burger menu. Three weeks in and we can’t make them fast enough! Everyone is loving them…. So we thought, “What else?”

We sent that question to our kitchen and FOH staff and came up with a couple conclusions:

1. Our custumors want the veggie burger back

2. Why not run a new burger on daily special?

So back by popular demand is our tasty Veggie patty, dressed up with roasted pepper, guacamole and sprouts. Not to be outdone, we also are running with a new Jalepeno and cream cheese burger (available on beef, turkey, or chicken patty)

So come down this week and try out our new and old favorites on the burger menu. We promise you won’t be sorry you did!
