our story
There has been a restaurant at this location for over ten years, but we have only been operating the Fly Creek Café since December 2008. We came in and cleaned house, literally. We moved some doors, put up some wood and metal, ran two power-washers to death, painted, scrubbed, restocked, repaired, replaced, rewired and reopened. Then we made all the mistakes you can make, and we learned very quickly how to do and how not to do. Now the snappy little restaurant in the marina is really cooking. The ingredients are top notch, the employees are friendly and the view is constantly changing. We have great music on the house system every day and we have some of the best local talent playing live every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Plus, we host the most spectacular sunsets every evening. If you’ve already discovered us, thanks for your business. If you haven’t been in yet, be sure to arrive hungry. We will do our best to show you why we are so proud of our little slice of heaven, The Fly Creek Café. |

BURGERS
Say “Yes!” to GRASS FED BEEF
Healthy and Great Taste (who dathunk it?!) When cows live in their natural habitat (open fields) they are healthier. They are able to move around freely, meet new friends, take naps, and grow up enjoying life. Actually, much like us humans, they don’t do as well with fast food and confinement. In fact, when they grow up eating fast food (corn feedlot), they eat too much fat, grow too quickly, don’t exercise, and are prone to more sickness, which means more drug dosages.(sounds a lot like raising kids…). At Fly Creek Café, we’re proud to serve Boutwell Beef Farms Beef. Live Healthy and Happy and Taste the Difference!

OYSTER FACT: Did you know that oysters can be eaten year round due to modern day refrigeration? Historically, oysters were eaten only during months containing the letter “R”. However, this old rule is no longer followed. The only governing control now is their availability. Since there are no seasonal harvest restrictions on aqua-cultured oysters, you can enjoy our delicious oysters all year round!
An 18% gratuity will automatically be added to parties of 8 or more.
*Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish, or eggs may increase your risk of food borne illness. Especially if you have certain medical conditions.
