New things are afoot at the 5s Diner!
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the crisp days of fall! We are in the planning stages for new offerings at the diner.
We will be adding new homemade, made-from-scratch soups that we will offer on different days. I'll be posting to let you know what's being made each day.
Some of the new soups:
Cream of Mushroom
Broccoli cheese
Thai red lentil
French onion
Corn and Squash Chowder
Vegetable Beef
Cream of Potato
Garden Minestrone
Soup and sandwich combo will be offered -- perfect for these chilly days!
I've talked with folks and the feedback is our food is good. People would like more variety, more specials.
We've hired a talented chef who has some great ideas for specials. Shayne is ordering the ingredients, and here is a list of some of the foods we will soon be offering:
General Tso's chicken
Korean fried chicken sandwich
Chicken shish
Satay Sandwich
Crying tiger steak salad
Felafel platter
Fish and chips
Mandarin Orange Watergate salad
Hawaiian pasta salad
Baked Chicken with chef's special sauce
Gourmet egg salad
Chefs special glazed beet salad
Our goal is to continue to offer classic diner food and pizza, but also offer more interesting, upscale food as well. I'll be posting our specials and soups regularly to let you know what's being served.
Menu Update
In October we're going to update our menu. We plan to add a few keto dishes, add more lunch / dinner meals (salmon, steak, fried chicken), and add in more salad choices.
Free Delivery within 5 Miles
Mid-October we will be hiring delivery drivers, get them trained, and November 1 will start with our free delivery service. We'll start with Monday-Saturday free delivery within 5 miles between 4pm - 8pm, Sunday 10am-2pm.
Anyone interested in delivery driving needs their own vehicle and we would prefer a food background.
More Parking
The ditch at the end of the property is being filled in. Next week Rich Myers and his crew will start the work. They will be digging out the area next to the building next door to install big lanscaping blocks, then filling in. Over the area we should be able to fit another 4-5 parking spots.
Long-term Planning - 2027
The retail space at the end of the building will get remodeled next year. I think we can hold approximately 25-30 people in the space. We plan to offer the space for rent for events and meetings and offer catering for events held there.
We will start reservation only dining on Fridays or Saturdays. The menus will be multi-course, special, upscale menu with a fixed price. The menus will change.
I'll be getting pricing to do the work and plan to start the remodel summer 2027.
