This week at The Counter on King, lunch is looking really good. If you’ve been waiting for the steak wrap or The Counter Club, we’d suggest pre-ordering. Those two tend to go quickly!

Tuesday: Grilled striploin steak, peppers, onions and cheese wrapped in a grilled flour tortilla. Tomato basil soup on the side.

Wednesday: The Counter Club is back! Chicken breast, bacon, lettuce and tomato on a cheese bun, with chicken vegetable soup.

Thursday: Shaved turkey and cranberry sauce on our housemade focaccia, with pea soup.

Friday: Slow roasted pulled pork in housemade barbecue sauce, topped with coleslaw. Mushroom soup rounds out the day.

The $16 lunch combo includes your sandwich, a choice of soup or side salad, a cookie and a canned drink.

From the bakery, we’ve got muffins, croissants, scones and plenty of cookies. Look for apple cinnamon muffins and blueberry lemon, orange cranberry and banana loaves. A few customers have told us that banana loaf is the best they’ve ever had, and we’re still smiling about it.

Focaccia Friday brings cheddar focaccia and apple fritter bread for one more week, plus cheesy garlic pull apart bread for Friday night dinner. Saturday is Cinnamon Bun Saturday, and we’re adding a new apple fritter pull apart bread!

Our Little Pies are $5 each, available Thursday through Saturday while they last: banana cream, lemon meringue, chocolate mousse and peanut butter chocolate.

And if you’re stopping in for lunch, make it a pumpkin spice latte or cranberry apple refresher kind of day. You can upgrade your combo drink, too. 🍂
