SUNDAYS at ARRIS' PIZZA
Wow! The usual oustanding, enthusiastic, capacity crowd continues on Sunday nights at Arris'. We have seen quite a few new faces lately as well as many loyal "regualars" to help keep Arris' a fun-filled, swingin' place to be on Sunday night. If you haven't come out for one of Arris' great Greek pizzas, salads, or sandwiches, or if you've never been on Sunday night, please join us soon. We're there every Sunday from 6:30 till 8:30 p.m. Remember to call for a reservation first, 417-881-7260.

MONDAYS at JOEY'S SEAFOOD RESTAURANT
We are thrilled with the response and support we have received since we started playing every Monday at Joey's back in June. The crowds have steadily increased on "Mardi Gras Mondays". Two weeks ago there was a 20-minute wait to get seated! Joey's has the best seafood in town and the word is out. Come find out why for yourself. And Monday isn't the only night for great seafood at Joey's:

Tuesdays - All you can eat Fish & Chips
Wednesday - All you can eat Battered Shrimp
Thursday - All you can eat Catfish
Weekends - Chef's Specials & Oysters on the Half Shell

But Monday night at Joey's is the night for live New Orleans jazz with the Creole Dixieland Jazz Band. We play from 6:00 till 8:00. Give Joey's a call at 417-655-0562.
