They even advertise that they hand smoke their own meats so what could be better than that?
Also on board is new Chef Chris Helmintaler. Chris has over twenty years of kitchen experience, ten of which, as an executive chef. His new lunch and dinner menu features
healthy soups, salads, sandwiches and their signature hand rubbed Jerk Chicken and Jerk Baby Back Ribs. Also offered is an extensive vegan and gluten free menu. Kids welcome as always.
