First Course:
Spring mix salad with your choice of dressing
or Homemade broccoli cheddar soup

Main Entree:
Your choice;
1" Smoked cowboy rib eye, 1-1/2" smoked pork chop, or fried jumbo butterfly shrimp
served with loaded baked potatoes, home-style green beans, and rolls with butter.

Dessert:
Your choice;
Cheesecake with your choice of Chocolate or Strawberry topping
or Chocolate overload torte $24.95 per person

We would like to know if this is something you would be interested in. If you would not mind dropping us a quick email or message giving us your thoughts we would be very appreciative. If we get 25 reservations of 2 or more this will be a go.
