At DeMori's: Get A Hearty Meal, or Just Hang Out

Whether you’re in the mood for a drink after work or a hearty meal, might have what you’re looking for.

The Italian restaurant and lounge’s new chef has introduced a variety of new menu items and weekly specials including buttermilk chicken on Sundays, chicken scampi on Mondays and baby back ribs on Tuesdays. The ribs are so good employees fight over what’s left at the end of the day, said owner Dennis Woulfe. The menu also now includes build-your-own burgers, which gives diners at least 30 different custom burger options, he said.

Despite all the new choices, the restaurant’s tried-and-true Sicilian sausage and peppers entrée remains its most popular dish besides pizza, Woulfe said.

For those who just want a few drinks, the restaurant’s happy hour specials from 3 to 6 p.m. on weekdays include $1 Miller High Life and Miller Light taps, $2.50 bottles and $4 mugs, he said. Pull-tabs benefiting the Maplewood-Oakdale Lions Club are also for sale.

The restaurant and bar will run specials and have special events going on Super Bowl Sunday.

If you’re planning ahead for Valentine’s Day, DeMori’s is offering a “Tour of Italy,” where diners can choose from three Italian entrees with bread sticks, soup or salad and dessert included for $12.99 or a prime rib dinner for $15.99.
