Typical meal service at begins with the Friday evening dinner. Saturday, we serve Breakfast to order, Lunch and a dinner as well. Sunday is breakfast to order and a lunch. Meals are based upon reservations that come in throughout the week. Occasionally, there will be walk-in’s that did not make a reservation so we always prepare just a little bit extra. Sometimes, there may be those on a special diet that cannot eat the main entrée so, we always offer the option of a chicken breast or a hamburger for those members. Meal times are as follows: Breakfast 7-9AM, Lunch 12-1:30, and Dinner 6-8 or 7-9 during daylight savings time. There are times when holidays dictate that special meals be prepared as well.
Holiday meals include:
• Easter Sunday
• Memorial Day Picnic

For these Holiday and Special Events, we will work with a caterer. It will be the food service managers role to ensure coordination with caterer and oversee the event.
There are also several Club functions that dictate special meal preparations such as:
• Men’s Fishing tournament – every other year, Spring
• Cast-n-Blast – May occasional
• Family Fishing Tournament – occasional
• Women’s Fishing Tournament – every other year, Fall
• Annual Hunting Banquet – end of October

The kitchen will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays unless a holiday or other scheduled event occurs on these days. Reservations for six or more persons may be made for Wednesdays and Thursdays if reservations are coordinated with ample time for preparation. If reservations are made for non-regularly scheduled meal times/days, there will be a 20% surcharge to recover additional labor costs.
Our goal for the food service operation is to provide top quality meals that help promote the camaraderie and fellowship of members while visiting the club. We want meals that are “like Grandma used to make”.
