We’re excited to announce that starting January 29th, we’re teaming up with our friends from Carosello Pasta to bring you Ramen Night every Wednesday 3pm-9pm! In keeping with our commitment to community and local flavors, we’ll be serving up a rotating selection of two meat-based and two vegetarian ramen options, along with a delicious kids' ramen for the little ones.

To round out your ramen experience, we’ll offer a variety of sides—all crafted with care and inspiration from the land that sustains us. Please note, on Ramen Nights, our regular menu will not be available.

At The Kitchen at Jolly Pumpkin, we’re deeply rooted in the community and the soil beneath our feet. Our mission is to cultivate a meaningful connection between people and the land by embracing farm-to-table practices, supporting local farms, and honoring the simplicity and beauty of earth-grown ingredients. We believe that knowing where your food comes from fosters a deeper appreciation for the land, and our goal is to nourish not just your body, but your sense of community as well. Every dish we serve is an invitation to connect—whether it’s with the food, the people around you, or the place we call home.

Come share in the spirit of togetherness and enjoy a warm bowl of ramen that’s as flavorful as it is full of heart. We can’t wait to see you there!
