Who is Unsukay?
Unsukay consists of six restaurant concepts: Muss & Turner’s, Eleanor’s, Local Three Kitchen & Bar, Warhorse Investments, MTH Pizza and Roshambo. Unsukay’s purpose is to make people feel good and our community a better place. The term Unsukay is a genuinely fabricated word that represents the phrase, “doesn’t suck.”
At Unsukay we take what we do seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We believe that people matter most and we treat our motley crew like human beings, not faceless, nameless cogs in a machine that churns out unimaginative food like some sort of culinary assembly line. Our seasonal menus follow one mantra, “You can’t argue with delicious!”
