Hello everyone! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. I have crossed paths with so many of you since retiring, I know how much you miss us and how big our part in the community was. I can’t say thank you enough!

Plans to repurpose the building had to change due to a very large and unexpected cost. So, an acquaintance of mine who dreamed of being an owner/operator has purchased the building and its assets. The liquor license is being purchased by a large retailer.

The new restaurant will be open soon and will be a very different type of establishment. I will allow the new owner to announce his intentions in the coming days.

After he goes live on social media, I will share the links here and then that will be my last post.

Once again, thank you for making us such a beloved part of the community. It wasn’t easy to say goodbye. As the old saying says, “When one door shuts, another door opens.”

Please visit the new restaurant and show him and his staff the same love you showed us. You were the best!

Regards,

Brian

After a grueling 30 day goodbye with emotions swinging all over the place, our team managed to put on smiles for one last picture together. It was only possible because each one of them stuck with me.

Front row L to R: Brittany Harlan, Ashley Bird, David Zehner

Back row L to R: Jessica Reaser, Dominick Bartholomew, me, Jermaine Flanigan (see if you can spot him), Brian Schley, Lacey Floyd, Dan Foulkrod

It’s become clear in the past month that we were more than just a place to eat for people. We were a place where the community gathered to laugh, celebrate, and share special moments in time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making that clear! Many of you have become friends and none of you will be forgotten. Change is inevitable, but the memories will last a lifetime.

Continue to follow our page. While I won’t be posting regularly, or responding to every comment, you never know what might happen in the future with regard to a few of your favorite menu items.

Until our paths cross again … thank you and cheers!

It’s Saturday and this will be our final day as a restaurant. We will be seating from 11-1:30 and 4-8:30. There are many menu options still available although we do expect to stock out of items throughout the day.

To supplement, we will have our popular fried fish available after 4 PM. Available as a sandwich or a fish and fries basket only. We have a limited quantity so get here early if you love our fried fish.

To see what is available throughout the day click on the menu link -> https://qr.imenupro.com/1n6g-1

It’s Friday and we will be seating from 4-8:30. Our updated menu is available on the link below.

We will try to accept phone orders, but if the restaurant is very busy, the phones will be turned off. If that’s the case, please do not walk in to order. Your wait time will be too long.

On Saturday we will be seating from 11-2 and 4-8:30. After 4 we will be offering our fried fish basket or sandwich, but have a very limited quantity.

Thanks for your patronage and patience!

Our phones are off because the restaurant has been sold out since 4 and there are people waiting to be seated. Sorry but right now we cannot take to-go and delivery orders. Maybe later. Thank you!

It’s our final week and we will be open:

Thursday 4-8
Friday 4-9
Saturday 11-2 & 4-9

The kitchen will close 30 minutes before the stated closing times. Although we planned to be open on Sunday, August 10, we will not be due to some logistical challenges. If you want to join us one last time, plan to visit by Saturday at 8:30.

As we open Thursday, we will have a nearly full menu. But as our closing day nears, we will be stocking out of items.

Click on the link below to see what is available in real time. We will do our best to keep it updated as we go through the weekend.

Thanks for all the support you’ve shown for the last 3 weeks! It will never be forgotten!

It’s Friday and we will be seating from 4-8:30 this evening. If you can’t join us give us a call for takeout and delivery.

If the phones are off and going to voicemail it means we cannot take any more orders at that time. Thank for all of your support!

It’s Saturday and we’re seating until 8:30. Full menu is available and the Italian Trio is our special.

We have a fresh supply of Blueberry Crumb Cheesecake from Celebrations Bakery and Cafe in house.

Check out our menu here -> https://qr.imenupro.com/1n6g-1

It’s Friday and we will be seating from 4-8:30 this evening.

The turnout since our announcement has been absolutely off the charts and is very much appreciated. And thank you for your patience as we try our best to serve you in a reasonable amount of time.

With a constantly full restaurant, it is sometimes not possible to also do takeout and delivery. Come and see us if you can. But if not, and the phones are going straight to voicemail, wait a while and try again. I wish we could do everything but we can’t.

Right now we have our full menu but after this weekend, some items will likely start disappearing as we get closer to August 10. The last couple days will be a limited menu so plan your visit accordingly.

How would you feel about one last all-day fish fry on our last Sunday? That might be the only item on the menu (along with sides) that day to minimize waste. Let us know in the comments below!

Remember The Trio is available all the time. We are making fresh shells, meatballs and lasagna constantly.
