🥧 It's BAAAAACK! And Just in Time for Comfort Food Season!
One of your Driftwood favorites has returned — our Deconstructed Chicken Pot Pie!
Tender chicken and hearty vegetables in a rich, creamy homestyle gravy, but this time, it's tucked beneath a golden, buttermilk biscuit crust and served piping hot in a cast-iron skillet.
All the goodness of a traditional chicken pot pie, with a little Driftwood twist!
🍂 Cooler weather. Warmer meals. Comfort food done right.
Come on in and get reacquainted with an old favorite!

🍸 A Little Salty? We Like It That Way!
Meet Bryant, the creative mind behind A Little Salty, one of the newest additions to our fall cocktail lineup!
This indulgent salted caramel martini brings together rich caramel flavors, a smooth, velvety finish, and a rim of flaky Maldon sea salt for that perfect sweet-and-salty combination.
It's a little sweet, a little salty, and a whole lot of delicious.
Nice work, Bryant! 👏
Stop in, pull up a stool, and give his creation a try. Cheers! 🥂

🐟 A Fresh Take on a Classic!
Introducing our NEW Salmon Piccata — a delicious addition to Driftwood's Fall/Winter menu!

Rich, savory, and just the right amount of tangy. It's comfort food with a little sophistication — and one more reason to pull up a chair at Driftwood!

🍂🥪 THE HIDEOUT — A LITTLE TASTE OF NORTHWOODS HISTORY!
Back in the days of Prohibition, Chicago's notorious mobsters weren't always hiding out in the Windy City. Some headed north to the secluded lakes and forests of Wisconsin, where the likes of Al Capone became part of Northwoods lore.
That little piece of history inspired one of the newest additions to our menu — The Hideout!
A hearty Italian sandwich piled high with salami, pepperoni, smoked ham, melted provolone, giardiniera, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a garlic toasted ciabatta!
No secret password. No backroom deal. Just one seriously good sandwich.
Come hungry. We won't tell anyone where you're hiding. 😉
