It may be a bit rainy this coming Friday, but it will be warm, so don't let a little rain spoil your dinner plans at the VFW. Chef Mark has created a menu of entrees this week which we know will tickle your taste buds.

First up is our Prime Rib which is seasoned and slowly roasted to perfection. Your choice of potato and the vegetable of the day compliments this meal.

Next is our Roast Beef platter. The roast beef is oven roasted and stacked on your plate with mashed potatoes and smothered with mushroom gravy. The vegetable of the day is also included.

For our pasta and vegetarian patrons, the next item is Chef Mark's homemade Eggplant Parmesan. A large piece of eggplant parmesan is placed over a bed of linguini with a side of garlic bread. We think this may be the belly-bomb of the week.

The fish entree this week is Broiled Cod. A generous portion of cod is broiled or blackened and includes your choice of potato and the vegetable of the day.

Our soup this week is Italian Sausage Soup.

Did you know that a soup or salad is included with the entrees from our menu each week? However, if you prefer to order off our "Crowd Pleasers" section, you can still have a soup or salad for an additional $5 upcharge.

We want to thank all of our patrons for making our Friday Night Dinners so successful. We know many of you look forward to socializing with friends and meeting other patrons all the time.

It's going to be 75 degrees this coming Friday so come on out for our Halloween Dinner. Just because the entree names are scary, that doesn't mean the food is not as great as usual.

First up on list of entrees is the Bloody Primal Rib of Beef. For all you vampires, this is my suggestion for dinner. We have several customers that order it "Bloody as Hell" every week! I assure you, you won't need a transfusion for quite some time if you order this plate.

Next up is the Spaghetti and Monster Meatballs. This dish includes two monster meatballs on top of a bowl of spaghetti with mama G's homemade tomato sauce. A side of garlic bread compliments this dish.

Our Stuffed Pepper Jack-O-Lanterns not only look great but tastes just like my grandmothers. The stuffed peppers are smothered in a sour cream-tomato sauce that is simply amazing. This goes very well with mashed potatoes.

Last up is the Severed Lobster Tail Ravioli's. Every time we have these on the menu, we sell out. These are truly filled with Maine lobster, and the sauce will tickle your palate.

The soup this week is Vampire Blood Tomato Soup with Lice.

Let's all show our Halloween spirit and put on that old costume sitting in the closet. We need lots of ghosts and ghouls to bring out that Halloween spirit for everyone to enjoy. Hope to see you all this Friday!

It's Chef Mark here and I have a fantastic menu this week. The weather is going to be nice, so what a perfect way to spend your evening at the VFW. I have a brand-new menu entree this week, so I'll talk about this first.

I will be making a Seafood Gumbo for those that enjoy seafood. However, I'm going to add some chicken, andouille sausage, shrimp, scallops, and mussels. This will be a little spicey, so the white rice is a perfect match for this dish. I've been to New Orleans and this is one of my favorites.

The next two entrees are a pair of my best sellers so it may be hard to make a selection. Almost every time I take a walk around the lounge, I'm asked when I will be making the Honey Fried Chicken again. So you asked.... and here you go. Have it with your choice of potato and the vegetable of the day. I suggest the mashed potato with the brown mushroom gravy from the next dish.

Next up is the Pork Roast. This entree comes with a generous portion of tender pork roast with mashed potatoes, brown mushroom gravy and vegetables. Be ready to take home some leftovers from this dish.

Of course, we will also be serving our Prime Rib. We usually sell out, so you may want to arrive here early.

The soup this week is Beef Mushroom.

Thank you all for your patronage and for helping us with your support.

It's going to be a little rainy this coming Friday, but don't let that stop you from coming to the VFW for dinner. Chef Mark has prepared a fantastic menu of some of his best dishes this week.

First up is Penne Alla Vodka with Chicken. You get 2 pieces of tender chicken breast over Penne Pasta with the chef's homemade creamy vodka sauce and garlic bread.

Most people eat a ham dinner during Christmas or Easter so why not have such a good tasting dish this Friday? You'll receive a hefty portion of ham with your choice of potato and vegetable.

Next up is Shrimp Scampi served over linguini. I bet you can't resist Chef Mark's Scampi sauce. If you like garlic in a creamy sauce, this is the dish for you.

Last up is our slow roasted Prime Rib. A 12oz cut is cooked any way you like with your choice of potato and a vegetable.

The soup this week is Navy Bean.

Hope to see everyone here on Friday.
