The Eatery
Come visit The Eatery. Our newly renovated space will delight you with a diverse menu with a wellness focus. The menu features a number of kid-friendly items such as hand-breaded chicken tenders, soft pretzels made in-house, freshly tossed pizzas, and hamburgers with fresh beef. For the more sophisticated palates, we offer a number of fresh salads, grilled sandwiches, and bowls. Our meals have a focus on local, organic, sustainable ingredients using unprocessed meats, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruits.
Open Daily: 10:00am – 5:00pm
