We start serving lunch at eleven and carry the menu through evening. On weekends, we offer a breakfast buffet and on Sunday, join us after 11:00 am for our traditional chicken dinner. We also offer carry-out and delivery within the Pinckneyville area.

Most importantly, we are open to the public. You do not have to be a golfer or a member to come out and enjoy our family oriented atmosphere. We have great food with generous portions, reasonable prices, and a friendly, down-to-earth staff. All we need is you.
