There’s always something delicious waiting for you at the 1861 Club!

New to the menu are our Chef Salad and Salad with Chicken options, perfect for those wanting something light, crisp, and refreshing. 

We’re also thrilled to now offer a gluten-free bun option, so everyone can enjoy our Sandwich Melts!

Don’t miss a fan favorite, Beef & Cheddar Melt! It’s savory, cheesy comfort on sourdough toast that keeps our guests coming back for more.

Looking for something to snack on? Our Charcuterie is the perfect choice. With salami, pepperoni, and our favorite cheeses, it’s great for sharing—or keeping all to yourself, we won’t tell!

Our newest creation is the Cluck’n Chicken Sandwich, a breaded chicken patty between two pancakes, with maple chipotle mayo, and served with a syrup dipping sauce. Sweet and savory all in one bite—it’s a must-try!

For those with a sweet tooth, indulge in our “Oh My” Crème Brûlée Pastry. Filled with silky custard and topped with a caramelized sugar crunch, it’s the perfect ending to your meal.

Make sure to grab an ice-cold beverage! If you haven’t tried our New 1861 Beer, add it to your list. From apple juice to alcohol, we have you covered!
