Jeff Purvey's Will Be Hoppin'

Jeff Purvey's will be the place to be from 4 p.m. on this afternoon as they prepare for the rush of customers that Good Friday brings.

Good thing we were there a little early. As we waited for our fish and chips, we were amazed at the smooth system the employees had and their cheerful and grateful attitude they had towards each customer. If you haven't already called ahead for a reservation, you may find yourself lined up outside for a lengthy amount of time but luckily they have coffee and apple cider to keep you toasty as the evening gets chillier.
