What to Order on Your First Visit

If you are hungry

The Lift Burger with horseradish aioli is the house classic. Want more heat? Go for the Spicy Guac burger or the Nashville Hot Chick sandwich. Every burger and sandwich comes with fries or tots.

If you are sharing

Get the Idaho Tatchos and a round of wings. On Wing Wednesday wings are $1.50 each with no limit.

If it is the weekend

The chicken fried steak at brunch is what regulars order, along with the Lifted Benny topped with spinach artichoke dip.

To drink

Try the New Age White over ice with lime, a Lift favorite, or a pitcher from our beer list. On Thursdays, pitchers are $4 off.

Pick the Right Day for a Deal

Every day has a special: $5 appetizer baskets on Monday, $1.50 tacos on Tuesday, $1.50 wings on Wednesday, $4 off pitchers on Thursday and $13 fish and chips on Friday. See the full list on our specials page.

Sit Outside if You Can

In warm weather, ask for a table on the patio. It is shaded by flowering vines and grapevines and it is dog friendly, with a pup menu for your four-legged friend.
