In May 2016 Mathew Griffith, the CDM for The Bridge at Monteagle opened The Hometown Diner. Since opening. it has become a favorite short order dining spot among our elders, their families, and our stakeholders. It provides our elders with additional meal choices and the independence to choose their own favorites. Our families that visit do not have to worry about where they will find a place to eat, because they stop by and order from our menu. Stakeholders no longer have to rush about trying to find a quick drive through and pray that they have time to eat when they get back to the home because Matt has brought lunch to them for a very reasonable price of $4.00. The diner offers hometown burgers, seasoned fries, chicken strips, homemade ranch dressing, big beef dawgs and other delicious choices. We have many local businesses and individuals that have ordered from our diner and comment that it was the best they have ever had and continue to request meals. The diner has been a very positive change in our home and we are very pleased for the opportunity to serve our elders, stakeholders, families, and community.
