What To Order

Well, everything we’ve eaten has been delicious! Don’t miss any of the burgers, the funnel cake fries or the Papadan sandwich. But there’s no chance you will leave hungry. The bar contains more than a dozen taps with lots of beer, much of it local, too.

Other notes: Because of the laidback and unorthodox nature of Wanderlust, people have been tempted to bring in outside food or drinks, but as the sign by the gate indicates, such moves are not permissible.
