At 1741 Pub & Grill, we believe that a hearty lunch can transform your day. While breakfast and dinner often take the spotlight, we're here to champion the benefits of indulging in a substantial midday meal. Here's why making lunch your main event is a fantastic choice, especially when you explore our diverse menu.

Boost Your Energy Levels

A large lunch rich in proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates provides the sustained energy needed to power through your afternoon. Dishes like our Farmhouse Burger, featuring Angus beef, Vermont cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, and caramelized onions, offer a satisfying combination to keep you energized.

Better Digestion and Metabolism

Your body's metabolism is most active during the day, making lunchtime ideal for enjoying a substantial meal that's efficiently digested. Opting for our Pecan and Goat Cheese Salad, with baby greens, fresh shaved apples, candied pecans, and dried cranberries, provides a balanced mix of nutrients to support digestion and keep you feeling full longer.

Enhance Focus and Productivity

Struggling to concentrate in the afternoon? A well-balanced, hearty lunch can sharpen focus and improve cognitive function. Our Chicken Pesto Sandwich, featuring roasted chicken, mixed greens, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, pesto, and balsamic glaze on ciabatta, delivers the nutrients your brain needs to stay sharp.

A More Enjoyable Dining Experience

Lunchtime at 1741 Pub & Grill is the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy a delicious meal with colleagues, friends, or family. Our menu offers something for everyone - from the indulgent Baked Mac & Cheese, tossed in our signature 1741 cheese sauce and topped with buttery breadcrumbs, to the lighter Lyman's House Salad, featuring baby greens, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and red onion with raspberry vinaigrette.

Supports a Balanced Diet

Making lunch your largest meal can help maintain a balanced diet by reducing the likelihood of overeating later in the day. Enjoying a filling lunch, such as our Philly Steak & Cheese with shaved steak, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, American cheese, and chipotle aioli on toasted ciabatta, can lead to better portion control and healthier eating habits throughout the day.

Join Us for a Power-Packed Lunch!

At 1741 Pub & Grill, we're dedicated to serving delicious meals that fuel your day. Whether you're stopping by for a casual bite or a working lunch, our menu is designated to satisfy. Come and discover why making lunch your biggest meal might just be the best decision you make all day!
