“Spirit is a scratch made restaurant, making all of our own soups, dressings, salsas, [and more], and we smoke meats in house for several of our dishes,” said Mike Stanton, who has been in the local hospitality and restaurant industry for around 40 years. He added that “We are simple food, done well.”

One Yelp review from Randy B. notes a “huge menu filled with breakfast, burgers, seafood, pastas, salads, BBQ, pastrami [and] deli and other sandwiches. If you can’t find something here, there’s something wrong with you. Wonderful service even on the hectic first day. Seasoned veterans running and working it.”
