We LOVE THIS!
Now, we must plan a lunch or dinner here. Maybe Andrea Kline and Shannon Rossman may have to plan one of their work session days at this restaurant! Love the idea of an alcoholic free, family friendly restaurant!

Hey Friends!

We just wanted to clear something up, since quite a few people today seemed understandably confused as they return to the area:

We are not Marty’s On Main.

Last year, this location operated as MOMS, and alcohol was available. This year, it is Mondays Good Eats, a completely new business, not a rebrand of the previous one.

Because of that, we do not own the alcohol license, and we will not be getting one.

We know that may be disappointing to some, but we are very intentional about the kind of space we are creating here. Mondays is a family business, with our young kids helping and a restaurant connected to a busy ice cream shop. We have little ones moving back and forth between both spaces all day, and we truly love the family-friendly atmosphere that has come from that.

We know some people believe a restaurant cannot succeed without alcohol, but we have seen plenty of businesses with liquor licenses come and go. For us, this is not about what everyone else does: it is about building a place that reflects our values, our family, and the kind of environment we want to offer our community.

We are proud to be a non-alcoholic beverage bar and family restaurant.

If you are looking for alcoholic beverages, we encourage you to visit Jordan Inn -Food, Wine, Spirits & Lodging just up the block. They are open daily from 12 PM–2 AM, often have live music, and would be happy to take great care of you.

We encourage you to read more about our Soda Bar on our website here:

ps. Please don't be mean to our servers when they tell you we don't have alcohol. It wasn't their decision but we stand by it. They're just doing their jobs.

Honoring Our Leaders on Volunteer Recognition Day

​Today is Volunteer Recognition Day, and while we are grateful for help year-round, we want to take this special opportunity to honor the five extraordinary individuals who lead the way as our Board of Directors.

​Building Chain of Recovery into a sanctuary of support hasn’t been a stroke of luck—it’s been a labor of love by five people who believe that recovery belongs to everyone.

​To our Board:
​You Give Your Time: In the middle of busy lives and personal commitments, you choose to spend your "off-hours" working behind the scenes to keep our doors open and our mission moving.

​You Speak Your Truth: Thank you for the bravery it takes to share your experiences out loud. By being vocal about your own journeys, you give others the permission and courage to start theirs.

​You Show Up: Beyond the strategy and the meetings, you show up with your hearts. Your presence is the foundation upon which this community is built.

​"Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart." — Elizabeth Andrew

​You are more than just a board; you are the architects of hope in our community. Because you chose to lead, someone today feels a little less alone and a lot more supported.

​Thank you for your grit, your wisdom, and your unwavering dedication to Chain of Recovery.
