John McCallum, Jay Samborn & Bruce Falcon, current owners of Midland Street's Westown & Luckys Pub, purchased the 3 vacant buildings next door, 605, 607 & 609 Midland Street (formerly: Bourbon Street, Yesterdays & LumberJacks) at the end of August in 2005.
The building has been vacant since 1998 except for a short time that LumberJacks was open for one summer. In the late 1800's, the building served as a general store, and in the late 50's it was Mohr's Clothing Store. At one time, the upstairs was used as cigar factory, according to Samborn.
Some of the work that has been done includes: refinished floors, the ceilings, a new sprinkler system, & a revamped kitchen.
"We are now open and ready for business, forboth lunch and dinner, and just in time to start off the New Year!" said McCallum
According to McCallum, LumberJacks will employ approximately 50 employees including Chef Mike Stickler, General Manager Rod Craven, and Assistant Manager Dan Roberts.
Samborn added that, "We have a couple of piano players set to play in the LumberJacks Steakhouse and Piano Saloon which seats 80. It's a great place to go after dinner for fun and upbeat music."
"We hope that LumberJacks will be a great addition to the Midland Street's Business District," added Samborn
Below are just a few of the delectable & mouthwatering specialties featured on The Menu:
Maryland Crab cakes , Grilled Peppered Portobello Steak, Spinach Salad, Three Peppercorn Filet Mignon, Grilled Smoked Rib eye, Sante Fe Pasta, Grilled Honey Garlic Salmon, Hot Wings, Desserts such as Jack Daniel's Mud Slide Brownie and A Children's Menu with mini pizzas and much much more .. .
A V.I.P. Pre-Grand Opening Party was held Thursday the 29th of December 2005.
