About Me

It isn't just the serious comfort food that makes the Fryer so special, it is the great music and the people that stop in for a visit. This isn't the kind of place that you come to for a quick meal. It's the kind of place that you want to stick around, meet new friends and listen to the incredible selection on the jukebox or to one of our talented bands that are playing.
It is impossible to please everybody, so the kitchen is open for lunch only Mondays thru Fridays from 11am 'til 3pm. Evenings are reserved for private parties and/or special events. And, there are plenty of special events in the works. Be sure to check the schedule to see who is passing through town and stopping at the Fryer to play a little music. If you would like to book a private party, gather up 12 of your friends & give me a call .. I'll be happy to fix dinner for you.
Speaking of special events and great music ... The Fryer is proud to be included as a member of the "Spirit of the Outlaws". Checkout their website ... http://www.spiritoftheoutlaws.com. Thanks y'all ... I'll be seein you soon. Susie
