Cruisers in Hardy Invites to visit Friday evening for Fantastic Food, Music and Fun Feb. 26 – Jennifer Shultz is the proud owner of a popular restaurant located right in the heart of Hardy on Main Street. Cruisers is a dream come true for Shultz, who has always had a goal of owning and running her own restaurant. With live music on the weekends and a menu full of great food, Cruisers is quickly bringing life to Main Street.
Cruisers is decorated with vintage car designs and flags representing all walks of life and visitors that have been to Hardy. Original stained glass accents add to the classy atmosphere that Shultz wanted. “We are going with the old car stuff and a diner feel. We wanted it classy,” Shultz said. Getting to establish the design and feel of Cruisers has been something she has wanted to do for a long time.
Shultz is no stranger to the food industry. “I have been in the restaurant business my whole life. I love visiting with people, feeding people and I wanted to get music going back in Hardy, so having live music is very important,” Shultz said. Her family moved to Hardy when she was five years old, so it’s become home to her, which makes the support she has been getting from the community even more special. “I managed four years at Words Afterwords before this and have pretty much worked in restaurants my whole life. Seeing as how I have been in the restaurant business [for so long], the community has really supported me,” Shultz said.
Cruisers not only feels like an old time diner with its décor, but the menu matches that as well. “I have your basic menu of burgers, chicken strips and things like that. However, we really are big on quality and presentation. The chicken strips are not grab and go from the freezer, they are hand cut and hand battered. Everything is done from scratch, so it’s very important that the food comes out [high] quality. Our burgers and sliders have really been going over well. Our chicken strips are hugely popular as well, they are beer battered,” explained Shultz.
Cruisers is located in the middle of Main Street and is located where Bojangles was once it business.
Let’s plan an evening for this awesome place to be on a Friday night with our friends/family! See you there, Ginger!!!! And I love Penny!!!!
