Dinghy's Shareables
We pride ourselves on serving high quality and great tasting menu items made from scratch with the freshest ingredients, obtained from local sources when available. Nothing is served from a bag or box - except the fries. Dinghy's has become famous for the meats that we cook in our own smoker using local hardwoods.

UPDATE on plans to reopen for takeout curbside delivery
Greetings from the staff at Dinghy’s. We hope this finds you safe and healthy. Seems like summer is about to return. Time to get back to business!
We are now targeting a reopening for takeout only on Tuesday June 9. We will be open for takeout Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00pm to 9:00pm. When reopen we will take orders over the phone and online at our website. We've experienced a few bumps in the road to reopening, and apoligize for the delays, but we are very anxious to begin serving our good friends and loyal customers. As we continue to improve our operations, we will begin to include lunch hours. Reopening for dine-in services is at least a couple weeks away while we take every precaution to ensure the safety and health of our customers and staff.
