Mustang dropping lunch, going to dinner only

Published on Tue, 07/23/2019 - 4:42pm

After more than 20 years of fresh, gourmet lunch service, Mustang will be serving only dinner starting Monday, July 29.   

Owners Carole and Dan Sullivan decided to eliminate lunch service this summer to focus on their increasingly popular evening dining, a Mustang news release said. 

Like many local restaurants, finding enough long-term quality staff to stay open at lunch became an issue. 

The Sullivans said they are looking forward to future ventures, including marketing select lunch offerings, such as the chicken pot pie at local retailers.
