A menu that has stood the test of time!

 

 

It’s beautifully nestled within the weathered frame of an old cooler! The hand-written menu is a perfect fit, exuding a charm that can only be found in a well-worn piece of paper.  It’s a true embodiment of the theory that states, “The dirtier the restaurant, the tastier the food.”
