Come Back Inn
What’s your secret to keeping customers coming in?
The quality, consistency and quantity of our food has spoken for itself over the years. But what really brings people back is the feeling of home – a place where you want to be and where people truly want you to be. We want to know how your day has been … how school is going. We care about how your children, grandchildren, parents and siblings are doing. We want to hear it all – good and bad. We sit, we talk, we listen and we eat. That’s what family is. Come have a seat; there is always room at our table.

Eiderdown
What’s your favorite drink pairing with one menu item?
One of the best combinations would be our Rouladen (pork loin stuffed with caramelized onion, bacon and beer mustard, with fingerling potatoes, broccolini and gravy) and a Hofbrau Dunkel (a dark – yet not heavy – lager with lightly roasted malts and perfectly balanced with noble hops). The onions mimic the malts in the beer and the spiciness of the mustard is set off by the hops, which combine to cut through the richness of the bacon and the gravy. Add the tender toothsomeness of the pork and the freshness of the broccolini, and it’s a pretty satisfying situation to find yourself in.

Four Pegs Beer Lounge
What’s your secret to keeping customers coming in?
Four Pegs is great because of the combination of the rotating selection of kick-ass beer on tap and awesome bar food, for sure. However, I think what keeps our regulars coming back time and time again is the atmosphere that lacks pretension and breathes “neighborhood gathering place”. It’s quite homey. The staff is fun, they play great music and we’ve got a free pool table. That’s cool. All that and a chicken and waffle sandwich, of course.
