Q: Let’ s talk about affordability. People worry about how much restaurants cost these days.
A: Nina: I think we all do. Same goes when we go grocery shopping. That’ s why we’ re costing out every item on the menu ingredient by ingredient to offer good value. There will be lower cost items to choose from plus daily specials. There’ s a kid’ s menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And for the first time, we’ re even offering low-carb, gluten free and vegetarian options. We want everyone to feel at home at the Ranch House Grille.
Q: Thanks, Nina.
