Rainy days are made for crunchy Caesars, crispy martinis, and friendship.

To be fair, sunny days are too, but hey, we’re here and a perfect little situation awaits you.

ALERT ALERT ALERT: GREAT NEWS.

Hot food is back today.

Chicky Peps. Hot Nugs. Fries. Onion Rings. All your favs. The gang has returned to the building.

We do need a couple extra minutes to get ourselves in order, so we’ll be opening at 11:30 today.

Thank you for your patience, your prayers, and your commitment to fried things.

HOT FOOD IS BACK. WE ARE SO BACK!

MARTINI MAY HAS BECOME MARTINI MADNESS.

Our oven and fryer have decided it is simply TOO HOT to work today, which means: NO HOT FOOD.

Honestly? It’s probably too hot outside for hot food anyway.

We’ve got the cold classics, crispy martinis, cold drinks, and enough questionable decisions to get you through the evening.

Come cool off.

Just imagine our Caesar, but it’s in a gently warmed flour tortilla now, so sure, let’s call it a Caesar Wrap, why not, it makes sense, honestly it makes even more sense with a bevy, maybe a crispy martini, maybe a crispy Diet Coke, we’re not judging, but we are saying a wrap and a bev might just cure you.

MARTINI MAY RETURNS TOMORROW.

We return to service tomorrow, and so does Martini May.

Make a plan. Call a friend. Put on something unreasonable.

You know what to do.

ONLY FRIENDS! Quick heads-up: we’ve got a full buyout tonight from 5–8 PM, so the dining room/bar will be closed for a private event.

To-go sandwiches will still be available from the counter during the event, and we’ll be back to regular service after the party.

And hey — if you and your Only Friends wanna party like this, slide into our DMs. We know a place.

Love you mean it.

MARTINI MAY IS BACK.

Cold martinis. Crunchy Caesars. Marinated olives. Tiny snacks. Big sandwich energy.

We are open again today, which means excellent decisions are once again available.

Martini May was never really just about martinis.

It’s about gathering around a table with people you love.

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who taught us how to do that.
