What is Lunch?
Obviously, it's the meal you eat midday between breakfast and dinner, but we looked a little deeper to find out more about this particular feast. The word "lunch" is actually an abbreviation of the word "luncheon." It originally indicated a small snack that was eaten at any time of day. At some point in the 20th century, the meaning of lunch changed slightly to a small or mid-sized meal eaten at midday.
The main meal of the day during the Middle Ages happened late in the morning following several hours of work. During the 17th-18th centuries, this meal was gradually pushed back until later in the day, leaving a space in the middle of the day where people needed something to eat to tide them over. In the 19th century, with the onset of industrialization, men were working long hours during the day rather than early in the morning, and their bosses began providing time in the middle of the day to eat something to get them through their shift.

You can order off of the rest of our menu at any time during the day, for lunch, dinner, and in between, but there are a few dishes that we only serve between 11:30 am-4 pm. When you join us during those hours, you may want to give one of these delicious lunch items a try.
