With COVID-19 numbers still climbing across the state – they are trying to mitigate the spread by taking orders outside and using outdoor dining 

“A few years ago we started the outdoor seating with the picnic tables because of COVID and now that we are able to still do that and still have everyone eat and enjoy their food with the beautiful scenery in the back that just means a lot for us,” said Lawrence.
