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 resaurant 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 and beverages, with a multitude of gluten-free options.
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.
