Tonight we had the honor of hosting a team dinner for Seneca’s Varsity Baseball team ⚾️☘️

What makes this group extra special to us is that 5 of the 7 seniors are part of our work family here at The 252. Griffin, Cody, Cam, Brady & Vinny — watching all of you grow on and off the field has been something we’re incredibly proud to be a part of.

Congratulations to all of the seniors on an amazing baseball season and on your graduation. We can’t wait to see what’s next for each of you. Thanks for letting us celebrate with you! ❤️

05/17/2026

Due to some abrupt staffing changes that were out of our control, we will only be open today until 12pm. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work through a quick transition behind the scenes.

Our team is working hard to regroup and get things back to normal as soon as possible — especially with Memorial Day weekend approaching.

Brunch will still be available from 9am-12pm today, including our Build Your Own Bloody Mary Bar. We’re going to make the best of it and hope you’ll join us for a great morning.

We are also actively hiring kitchen staff immediately. If you or someone you know is dependable, hardworking, and interested in joining our team, please message us directly or stop in to apply.

Thank you for continuing to support us through the ups and downs. We truly appreciate this community.
