People all over the world celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, especially places with large Irish-American communities.

Feasting on the day features traditional Irish food, including corned beef, corned cabbage, coffee, soda bread and potatoes.

This holiday is celebrated every year on March 17, honoring the Irish patron saint, St. Patrick. The celebrations are largely Irish culture themed and typically consist of wearing green, parades, and drinking.

Whether you’re Irish or Irish-at-heart join us for an afternoon of fun and maybe get the luck of the Irish. Stop by or call us at 507-433-2370 to make your reservations for noon on Tuesday, March 17, for a St. Patrick’s Day feast.

Make sure you tell us if you would like to have the corn beef meal for $8.50 or chicken breast $7.50. Bring your Irish friends and wear your green so you don’t get pinched. There will be a group singing familiar Irish tunes.
