By FannieMae Lowery
Anyone living in Lake Tansi should never have to go far to get something good to eat. Right here in our little village are several places to get delicious food, whether you want fine dining or a quick bite on the run. So the next time you are too tired to cook, give one of the following places a try.

FORTE’S AT TANSI is our fine dining restaurant, complete with elegant atmosphere and a great menu of fine food and spirits, and a bountiful Sunday Buffet. It is located behind the Hiawatha Building and the Indoor Swimming Pool.

The 19th Hole Restaurant, located next to the Pro Shop, is conveniently located to serve golfers needs. It is also a great place for residents and guests to stop in for lunch or a moderately priced, home cooked dinner.

The Roving Golf Cart can be found serving up some refreshments along the golf course.

The Snack Shack at the Beach is conveniently located to serve the needs of beach goers, serving up hamburgers, hot dogs, hot sandwiches, cold drinks, and Italian Ice.

Thursday Beach Cook-Outs, cooked by the Recreation Dept. and served from the Snack Shack at 5 p.m. on Thursdays is the best place in town to get home made pulled pork bar-b-q or hot dogs with all the trimmings. A generously portioned bar-b-q plate with 3 sides is just $4.50.

The Concession Stand in the Game Room, inside the Thunderbird hall near the outdoor pool is conveniently located to serve the needs of swimmers in the outdoor pool. The Concession Stand serves microwavable hot dogs, hamburgers, hot sandwiches, ice cream, floats, candy and snacks. A “just right bite” when you’ve taken a break from swimming, or after hours when other things are closed, or during a bingo game.

Thunderbird Dinners are offered about twice monthly. Check your calendars for specific dates and menu. For a $5 fee you get a large portioned full meal with dessert and drink, cooked and served by Recreation Dept. employees in the Thunderbird Hall. The dinners are usually followed by free Bingo games with cash prizes.

So take a break from cooking this summer, and save on the gas money by eating out right here in Lake Tansi.
