THE CRACK'D POT RESTAURANT is rearing completion at about 1100 East Highway 40. It will be a family restaurant and feature homemade food. The Crack'd Pot Family style restaurant soon to open in Naples TheCra k'd Pot Restaurant will be opening in Naples later this month, at about liuo East on Highway -40. Jackie Haakinson. one of the owners of the new restaurant, said they have been looking at the lack of family-type restaurants on the east side of the valley, and decided some time ago they wanted to open a reasonably priced pric-ed eating establishment in that area. When the in-laws became available, she and her husband, along with other family members decided the time was ripe. Cliff and Eileen Haakinson, who have been in the restaurant business for years, moved from South Dakota to manage the Crack'd Pot. Eileen said the Crack'd Pot will be reasonably priced and will offer a full menu, from hamburgers to steaks to 99 cent breakfast specials. Everything served in the restaurant will be homemade, including pies, rolls, soups, salads and bread. Besides the 99 cent breakfast special, which will include one egg, bacon and pancakes, pan-cakes, they will also offer Ijnch and dinner specials. The lunch special will be soup and the dinner special will rotate among the items offered on the menu. There will be something for everyone, including "The Little Crack Pot" which is a hamburger plate for children. The Crack'd Pot will have a salad bar, the owners say, that will compare to any in town, plus the salad bar will feature homemade bread. A drive up window will be installed for fast food items. Hard ice cream cones will also be served. Sack lunches will be prepared for construction workers, oilfield workers and travelers on the go. Breakfast will be served begining at 5 a.m. to accommodate the early riser and the restaurant will stay open into the night. They have not determined a specific hour for closing. That will be determined by business in the late hours. Jackie said they are determined to make the restaurant a first class operation. A woodburning fireplace will be going constantly in the winter months and during that time a fireside dinner will be featured. Jackie said the final decision to go ahead with the project came when Cliff and Eileen became available to manage the restaurant. She said they are excited about the restaurant, because of the experience especially Eileen has had in the business. In South Dakota Eileen managed a restaurant for 16 years and also was head cook for a time at the School of Mines and Technology. Jackie said Eileen brings valuable experience to the venture. |
