We are currently working on a new, possibly short term project in Munising. The Rock River Lunch Bag will be the "Unplugged" version of Rock River Cafe. The location is light on kitchen equipment and we just intend to serve "Fast Fresh Local Cuisine". We are trying to pull this project together quickly since there are only a few months left to our tourism season.
The Rock River Cafe' location in Chatham will proceed on, serving only breakfast and dinner while the Lunch Bag is operating in Munising. Our expected hours in Chatham where you can get our full menu are as follows:
Breakfast 9-1; Dinner 4-9. The Rock River Lunch Bag will be open 11-5 with a light, yet "Rock River style" menu. Looking for local lean ground beef burger with our homemade barbeque sauce or hickory smoked bacon bleu burger? You'll have to come after 4:00 to Chatham for that. The menu will be lighter, quicker, and served like fast food in eco-friendly packaging ready to go out the door or to enjoy in the little dining room. There are 22 seats inside, and we'll scatter a few on the porch so you can people watch and wave to friends as they drive by.
Anyone interested in helping us launch this new location can contact Pat at 906.439.5509. We are not too bashful to barter at this point, and believe in our product and service line. We have posted a deal on Facebook, encouraging people to come in for dinner this week, in return for FREE LUNCH at the Munising location in the future.
In the meantime, our menu has expanded again at Rock River Cafe', evoking our slogan of "A Fresh Expression of Local Cuisine". We have moved our Finnish Pancake ~ PannuKakku into your own personal iron skillet, served hot to the table. And there are a few more surprises to be found amongst the pages. Come on in for our Warm Blankets (gingerbread waffles served with whipped cream and fresh berries), or our Portabella Mushroom Cap Steak with seasonal fresh vegetables and quinoa pilaf for dinner.
