Looking for Breakfast? Our breakfast menu boasts 46 omelets from plain to extreme.  Try a Steak & Cheese omelet with mushrooms and onions (#40) or a Ham & Potato omelet with sour cream (#39)--just to name a few.  And if one of those 46 aren't what you want, we'll custom build the omelet of your liking.  Maybe you'd like to try our Eggs Benedict--the best this side of New York.  Pancakes, French (or Freedom) Toast--yep, we've got them too.  And breakfast is available all day!!

How about lunch or dinner? Our 6 page lunch/dinner menu runs the gambit of just plain good home cooking.  From burgers and cold sandwiches to steaks and seafood, we've got you covered.  Come in and check out our daily specials too.  And don't forget about our WONDERFUL homemade soups.  Our house soup is Cream of Broccoli.

Wednesdays its Spaghetti and our homemade meatballs
Thursdays its either Meatloaf or Stuffed Cabbage
Weekends, come in for our Turkey and Biscuits,
Jumbo Hot Beef or Pork Sandwich w/ mushrooms,
and The Belly-Buster Cod Specials
In these trying times since
The War on Terror began, we have all had to find ways to cope, for ourselves,
and for those around us.
At The Gourmet, we are placing patriotic/inspirational saying on our sign rather than our daily specials.

Chef Vargo has expanded his Soups of America collection--now over 20 soups!
Watch for his 'Soups of America'
CD ebook coming soon
