 Sunday Breakfast Buffet & Brunch Menu

WELCOME

Throughout our menu you will notice the frequent use of the words “fresh”, “in-house”, and “housemade”. You’ll see fresh vegetables, meats roasted in-house, and housemade dressings, soups, sauces and gravies.

We take great pride in using fresh meats, fish, seafood and vegetables - not processed, pre-packed or frozen.

We hand cut our steaks in-house.
We slow roast whole turkeys, corned beef, ribs and top round sirloin in-house.
We cut and prepare whole fresh fish in-house.
We make our own salad dressings, croutons, fresh cut French fries, sauces and gravies daily, in-house.

For example, our Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad has fresh cut corn from the cob, not canned or frozen.
You can taste the difference.
Our Weekend Dinner Specials are fresh, different and creative.

We are a family owned and operated restaurant providing friendly, professional service at a fair and reasonable price. We are proud of our reputation in Mount Airy and strive every day to earn your loyalty.

Thank you. Enjoy!
