Last night was so cozy… Soft rain falling outside and chatter of happy diners inside. The smoked baby back ribs were hit as well as the beet salad which even out sold our broccoli salad! We also have a vegetarian special of spinach gnocchi Alfredo and our famous Gouda burgers can be made with Moon Valley burger or Beyond burger.

We will have the deck open tonight with our new patio heaters and still plenty of flowers to enjoy. Of course you can always sit inside as well…😊

The kitchen smells amazing right now with giant pumpkin chocolate chip cookies in the oven and the smell of smoking ribs wafting through the door.

Come down to the grill and join us tonight for another cozy evening! If you have other plans, place an online order for pick up or buy your dinner for tomorrow!

As the evening air carries the magic of crisp leaves and crackling fires, we wrap ourselves in comfort and gather near others for the warmth of community. We want you to be cozy when you visit the Monday Tuesday Grill, so we've added several patio heaters (and ordered another) on our deck. Feel free to bring your favorite blanket to wrap around your legs!

Last month, we introduced Smoked Baby Back Ribs to rave reviews, so we're firing up the grill to smoke more. They'll be paired with creamy garlic mashed potatoes and gravy. Our menu also includes the Gouda Burger, Peach Wh***ey BBQ Chicken, Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili, and three sides, including a beautiful Beet Salad with feta, walnuts, and honey mustard vinaigrette. Our vegetarian special is Spinach Gnocchi Alfredo, and dessert is the “to die for” giant Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies.

Three reminders:
1. We have punch cards (worth $10) to ease the load for those in need.
2. Reserve a table for groups of six or more–especially if you want to be indoors.
3. Start early Christmas shopping with Community Art Market items and MTG shirts/gift cards.

This week's featured artist is Miriam Worthington from Jay—a retired teacher who found a way to make a mess on purpose by wheel-throwing pots, mugs, bowls, and other delights.

We didn't do this on purpose, but it turned out that we planned a crispy menu for some crispy early autumn days! Let's start with the star of the show… Our crispy buffalo chicken which features a tender chicken breast topped with a crunchy, sweet, savory, cheesy, and slightly spicy breading and served with crispy oven baked steak fries!! these beauties flew out of the kitchen last night even though we made a lot! If you want to try this special out, I suggest you place an online order or come in the first hour.

Dessert was a seasonal Appleberry crisp… The buttery brown sugar oat topping is magical on top of these seasonal fruits. The apples are from Rulfs Orchard in Peru!

It's getting a little chilly in the evenings so bring an extra layer in case you sit on the deck. We look forward to another amazing Tuesday at the grill!

As she watched us pack two overflowing shopping carts into bins and boxes, a fellow shopper remarked, “One thing's for sure … you're having a heckuva shindig!” Oh, if she only knew! The dictionary defines shindig as “a large lively party, especially celebrating something,” and that sounds just right for our Monday Tuesday Grill vibe. Every week feels like a party, and we love it!

Crispy Buffalo Chicken tops the menu this week with hand-cut garlic Parmesan steak fries tossed in olive oil and baked. No seed oils allowed! The Greek Burger makes its final 2026 appearance (unless it wins the Burger contest in a few weeks) with a feta-encrusted patty topped with fresh spinach, cucumber, tomato, and Tzatziki sauce. Vegetarians can enjoy sweet potato chili or baked potato with cheesy broccoli.

You missed Sarah's Cole Slaw last week, so it's back for one more week along with Amish Broccoli Salad. Dessert will be Apple Berry Crisp—a sweet-tart treat baked with a buttery, brown sugar oat crumble.

NOTE: Please spread the word that we now have SIX $10 off punch cards available to community members. To use, tell Amy, “Our community is awesome” when you order, and she'll quietly apply the discount.

This week's featured artist is Amy Stoner from Keene Valley. Amy loves preserving your child's scrawls, favorite quotes, or love notes with custom hand-stitched heirlooms.

Have you had a Lodge burger yet? 🫠 A juicy Moon Valley burger topped with sharp cheddar cheese and bacon bourbon jam… it makes us feel like we're nestled up in a Lodge sitting by a crackling fireplace!

Ya'll showed UP yesterday! What a great night with so many groups of friends gathered around the tables. Even if you come alone, the room is filled with welcome and cheer! This is what one customer texted us last night… "I was standing in line to get my food and I was just flooded with a feeling of love. I had just done a 360 looking at all the ppl and feeling the hum and energy and I started to cry 😢 had to collect myself but it felt very warm." That's YOU GUYS!! Gathering so many beautiful people into one place cannot help but be magical!

We are back in the kitchen today making more lasagna and tiramisu! We'll have crisp garden salads, broccoli salad, hamburgers, hotdog, sweet potato black bean chili… And don't forget the peach wh***ey barbecue chicken!

Welcome to this wonderful crisp morning… We hope to see you tonight!🍂 🍔❤️

If you've been staying away from the Monday Tuesday Grill to avoid the summer crowds and long lines, now is your time! Typically, our crowd drops about 50% for the next few weeks, so come on down and join the fun. We recently had the startling realization that there are only six weeks left to our summer season—Gulp! So stay tuned as we serve up all our autumn favorites over the next weeks.

Speaking of favorites, the Lodge Burger is BACK! A juicy Moon Valley burger topped with melted sharp cheddar and house-made Bourbon Bacon Jam, this hearty burger has quickly climbed the favorites list. We're also serving Lasagna (meat and vegetarian) with a piece of “heaven bread” as one of our young customers named our garlic toast. And of course, no Italian meal would be complete without a serving of melt-in-your-mouth Tiramisu!

NOTE: We currently have four $10 off punch cards donated by our generous community. Eating out can be difficult when money is tight. If you need a little financial help with dinner, just tell Amy, “Our community is awesome” when you order, and she'll apply the discount.

This week's featured artist is Susan Runyon. Susan lives in Wilmington and is a nature photographer offering images of the Adirondacks as notecards or matted in larger sizes.

In a world of hurried schedules, processed food, and eating on the go, we believe be that WHERE and HOW you nourish your body matters almost as much as WHAT you eat. In many other cultures, meals hold a sacred place and are often eaten in a leisurely manner surrounded by beauty and community.

With this in mind, we have intentionally created a beautiful setting in which to serve our food. We want you to feel as though you have traveled to another place and your cares can drop away for a few moments. We want to give a late season thank you to Elizabeth Valovic for the many hours she spends tending our little paradise.

We would also like to invite you to come and enjoy the deck at other times of the week. Feel free to bring your journal, your laptop, or a friend… You are welcome to sit and work or read or just BE on our deck. Beauty and peace are good for the soul!

Now to our food for the night! We will once again be serving beautiful juicy Black and Bleu burgers and Hawaiian kielbasa kebabs. They were so good last night!! Tonight is the last night for our ice cream sandwiches until July 2027 ! We only have a limited number so don't miss out!

We are off to Cook… See you soon!❤️🍔

I keep thinking about a moment that occurred several weeks ago at the Monday Tuesday Grill. As a woman stood reading our menu, she commented, “Oh, you serve local beef—that's wonderful!” Standing IMMEDIATELY behind her in line were Matt & Michelle from Moon Valley Farm. I smiled and said, “Yes, we do, and the farmers are behind you!” I marveled as the rough hand that works every day through heat and cold to raise those cattle shook the hand that would soon hold a juicy flame-grilled burger. This is the power and joyful connection of small local businesses!

To kick off campfire season, we're serving Black & Bleu Burgers embedded with Bleu cheese crumbles and topped with French-fried onions, a Meadow Farmstead tomato, and house-made garlic aioli. Also on the grill are savory Kebabs made with turkey/veggie kielbasa, pineapple, peppers, onions, and a pineapple BBQ glaze. Add a side of grilled sweet corn or broccoli salad.

LAST WEEK for Ice Cream Sandwiches!! (Where did summer go?) Amy's also making S'more Brownies—all the campfire goodness with less gooey mess.

This week's featured artist is Maddy Schumacher from Keene. Maddy's work is deeply inspired by the natural world. She creates colorful, nature-inspired art across a variety of mediums and draws creativity from her time spent hiking, canoeing, skiing, and biking throughout the ADKs.

One of the most satisfying things about cooking is when you see someone take a bite, close their eyes, and moan with pure delight! Last night's crowd was delighted by the Caribbean burger with mango salsa, the Shrimp Boil with its buttery Old Bay sauce, the flavorful vegetarian Late Summer Chowder, and the Key Lime bars which sold like hot cakes!! (does anybody actually know what a hot cake is??)

It looks like a beautiful evening to come and enjoy one last taste of Summer surrounded by flowers, beautiful music (we heard Mingo maybe joining tonight) and smiling faces.

We hope to see you at the Monday Tuesday Grill!

As pumpkin spice appears everywhere and our thoughts turn toward flannels and fireplaces, we'd like to push pause and give SUMMER one last fond nod. We're giving a few of your summer favorites one last week to shine before we pull out the autumn flavors.

Let's start with the Caribbean Burger—a gently spiced patty topped with sharp cheddar and house-made mango salsa. It's both refreshing and hearty! Next up is the ever-popular Shrimp Boil with savory shrimp, Andouille sausage, potatoes, and cute little corn cobs drenched in buttery Old Bay and served with a Cheddar Bay Biscuit. Vegetarians can enjoy a Late Summer Chowder with local roasted tomatoes, potatoes, and corn in a creamy Old Bay broth so you don't miss out on the seaside vibe.

Dessert may be a hard decision between Key Lime bars and chocolate chip Ice Cream Sandwiches (note: next week is your last chance to snag an ice cream sandwich)

As school begins and weeknights turn into family juggling acts, our simple (and affordable) online ordering can make life easier.

This week's featured artist is Cassidy Richards from Jay. She attends SUNY Potsdam where she plays on the softball team. Cassidy makes soy wax candles with all-natural scents.
