Founder’s Room

The Founder’s Room restaurant in the beautifully restored Bucyrus Club pays homage to the original Founder’s Room of 1920.  Our active dine-in or carry-out deli is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. and serves a full menu of homemade soups, generous deli sandwiches (both hot and cold), salads andd beverages. We are open on Friday nights during Lent for our very popular fish fry and other delicious menu items. 

Come join us and experience great food and a great atmosphere in this hidden gem we call the Founder’s Room.

Our Gluten-Free Commitment

We have a multitude of gluten-free options at the Founder’s Room, and through our events held at the club. This is personal for us! Our co-owners require a gluten-free diet, and our skilled culinary team can take just about any item on our menu and make a delicious, gluten-free version of it.

For most of our menu items, the only glutenous ingredient is the bread, and for that we have gluten-free bread, as well as gluten-free tortilla wraps that can be substituted on any item. Most of our daily soups are gluten-free as well. When we make our soup du jour we aim to make them all gluten-free. We even have our very own secret recipe for a gluten-free batter/breading for fried foods like chicken and cod. These items are also fried in their own dedicated gluten-free fryer. In fact, we have four dedicated gluten-free fryers in our kitchen!
