Channeling their old timey predecessor, the folks at Rosebud Kitchen & Drinks are opening up for Friday lunch, showcasing a menu of side-of-the-road-clam-shack favorites. Apparently, back in the days before Rosebud Kitchen & Drinks was Rosebud Diner, the Davis Square spot was home to the Jaunty Jack where the were known for the perfect snack and for serving “Good Things to Eat”.
In keeping with that grand old tradition, the Rosebud peeps have rolled out a menu of lobster rolls, fried clams, fish & chips and more, all of which can be washed down with cold drinks (pitchers of beer, icy cocktails and so many wines) out on their patio or in the dining room. You can even order your good things to eat to-go. The special menu is available every Friday between 11:00am and 3:00pm so book a table or place your order for pick-up for a seafood-y end to the week.
