Historic Muskogee restaurant re-opens

Club Lunch, long a staple of downtown Muskogee, has re-opened after closing during the pandemic. Before that, it had been open since 1913. Rebranded as Club Lunch International, the buffet-style eatery has now added authentic Cuban sandwiches and sweet potato fries to its fare.

And another new twist: Delivery through DoorDash.

The restaurant, which is under the new management of a private economic group led by John Cruz, is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., also serving homemade pies and cakes.

To call in an order ahead, call 918-683-6162. Also look at http://theclublunch.com or look on the DoorDash app.

The economic group is also planning to re-open The Rail Taproom downtown and La Cabanita on East Side Boulevard.

“We are planning on opening six places by summer,” Cruz said. “The idea is to keep Muskogee open in the aftermath of the pandemic.”
