There are sandwiches such as tuna with bacon and cheddar on oven-roasted pizza bread, homemade meatloaf on sourdough, turkey Reuben on toasted marble rye, and Italian grilled cheese panini. The salads come in regular and full size, with a regular looking like a full size, including Chinese chicken, Caesar, chopped chicken, blackened chicken Cobb and lemon chicken Greek with chopped hearts of romaine, spinach, feta, roma tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced pepperoncini, Kalamata olives and balsamic vinaigrette. Several desserts are churro, carrot cake and root beer float. Wedge begins at $12.95, and six wings start at $8.95.
