…salads with homemade dressings, and year-round specialties, like flame-grilled burgers and Reuben sandwiches.
Local dishes are also part of the tasty fare. And, when the temperatures go down, homemade soups are added to the menu.
The sides are just as tasty and include options like roasted red potatoes, fruit salad, and potato salad.
As if it couldn’t get any better, the café has a bakery, where you’ll find freshly baked muffins and cookies.
