The menu features Italian favorites, including hand-stretched pizza dough made fresh daily and burgers made with fresh, never-frozen Angus beef, all served in a setting that showcases the area's rich history. The Green Front also boasts an extensive beer list, featuring local brews from Naked Dove Brewing, among other rotating taps of craft beers, further solidifying its place as a beloved local establishment.
