The Shore Casino now offers special appetizers and an opportunity to relax and enjoy afternoon and early evening outings with friends every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Shore Casino owner Kathleen Sweeny announced this week.
“So many people have asked us to open for a place to socialize and enjoy some good food a few days a week, and so we started this new program, “ said Jay Strebb Casino manager. “And already, we have learned our guests really like the opportunity drop in casually, have a drink and some appetizers, then either go out for dinner or go home to spend the rest of the evening at home,” Strebb said.
The Shore Casino is now open Fridays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., and on Saturdays and Sundays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and is offering an appetizer menu that some say doubles as dinner, customers have indicated.
The Weekend menu includes appetizers, entrees and desserts, ranging in price from $6 to $21.
The Appetizers menu includes specialty menu items included Shrimp balls with garlic, with wine, and cheese served with a tomato sauce, and Shishito chili peppers with guacamole aioli
Entrees, which range in price from $10 to $21, include shrimp Po Boy with remoulade sauce, open faced beef sandwiches with sides, and the most popular item offered in a variety of ways, Stuffed Bake Potato.
“That’s been very popular,” Strebb agreed, “these are large baked potatoes and they’re stuffed with broccoli, cheese, bacon, butter and yes, sour cream as well. If that isn’t enough, or if our guests want something extra special, the chef can also stuff them with either chicken fingers, shrimp or steak. We’ve found our guests like these every way they’re offered.”
The Bananas Foster is probably the most popular of the desserts, the manager continued, though the Casino’s famed rice pudding runs a close second. “I have to admit,” Strebb laughed, “it is a tie between the Bananas Foster with the caramel sauce on its own, or Bananas Foster with peanut butter.”
No reservations are necessary for the weekend events, and small groups can be accommodated.
