The menu lists breakfast and lunch items as well as desserts. The slip is announcing "Unique Opening Dinner" which has us believing they started offering dinner service a bit later. The dinner is 85 cents and includes an appetizer, entree and dessert. The slip also states "Patrons will be pleased to learn after today we specialize in an extensive Menu".
A quirky piece of food history.
