🌺🍲 BEEF STEW, RICE & EVERYTHING NICE! 🍚🤙

Who says comfort food can't have a little ALOHA? 🌴

This week's special is bringing some serious island-style comfort to the Hawaiian Hoosier!

🥕 Hearty potatoes, carrots & celery
🍲 Rich, savory golden-brown gravy made with roasted tomatoes
🍚 TWO fluffy scoops of rice

It's hearty. It's homemade. It's the kind of meal that makes you want to loosen your belt and take a happy nap! 😂

Auntie Stacie has been cooking up a little taste of home, and trust us, this one is worth bringing your appetite for!

We heard you say you want Teriyaki Salmon back this week. OK. Fishy Friday is presenting Teriyaki Salmon AGAIN ..... just in case you missed it OR you want some more. (Next Week: Mahi Tacos)

🐟🔥 FISHY FRIDAY IS SERVING UP SOMETHING SERIOUSLY DELICIOUS! 🐟🔥

This week’s catch is Teriyaki Salmon glazed until it’s sticky, savory and packed with flavor, then served on a bed of seasoned arugula with 2 scoops of rice and our customer favorite crab macaroni salad.

That sweet teriyaki glaze.
That tender salmon.
That salty, savory bite with the fresh greens underneath. 😍
Fridays are the BEST day of the week!

Yeah... you’re gonna want to SMASH this plate.

Pro Tip: Call early and reserve your plate. These specials have a habit of swimming away fast. 🐠
