<body><div>Briana Pace | Southern Indiana Business ReportAt 11 a.m. on October 28, a line of people stood outside Emerald Greens in Jasper, waiting for the new location’s restaurant doors to open after being closed for nine weeks. What began as a catering business in a garage evolved into a food truck, then a cafe on Vine Street and now, Emerald Greens is in a new, larger location with expanded menus and extended hours. “I was only doing lunchtime there [at Vine Street], breakfast and lunch,” Emerald Greens Owner Barry Dunlop said, “and there were a lot of people asking me about, ‘Would you do weekends? Would you do nights?’”That location offered counter-service only. Guests would come in, order at the counter and their food would be brought to their table. At the new location, counter-service is only during lunch hours and the restaurant is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m.- 9 p.m. Friday’s hours are 11 a.m.- 10 p.m., Saturday’s are 10 a.m.- 10 p.m. and Sunday’s are 10 a.m.- 2 p.m.Food options from the lunch menu range in price from $5 to $22. There are seven salads, five sandwiches and five options under “Bowls &amp; More.” A variety of coffee, tea, cocktails, wines and beers are also available. On the dinner menu, food prices are between $5 and $40 with seven “For The Table” options, three salads, one soup, two sandwiches and six “The Main Event” choices. There are three kids’ menu items as well. The dinner menu includes 13 cocktails, 26 wines and 20 beers— five of which are on draft.Brunch menu foods range from $4 to $22. There are eight brunch plate options, four sandwiches, three salads, five “extras,” plus coffees, teas, cocktails, wines and beers.“Bites &amp; Sips” has five food items from $5 to $8 and 15 beers, 14 cocktails and 10 wines.Kitchen, front of house, busser and food runner positions are all still available for part-time and some full-time spots are open as well.“We got a good team already, but we’re always open for more,” Barry said.Emerald Greens spent three years on Vine Street, until Barry and Brittany, his business partner and wife, decided it was time to continue growing their business.“At that time, I started looking maybe for something bigger,” Barry said.In his search, Barry came across an empty building at 248 3rd St., behind The Playce. He knew they needed to do something with it. The building was a blank slate— somewhere they could bring their vision of the new Emerald Greens to life. The Dunlops wanted to keep the same feeling the last Emerald Greens location had, but upscale it a bit. Green and gold colors fill the restaurant with wood detailing throughout. There’s a variety of seating from small two-person tables to big velvet booths at large round tables. Several chandeliers hang from the ceiling and it’s all what Barry and Brittany imagined.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1JmAVw_1GtVltRe00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1JmAVw_1GtVltRe00" width="1929" height="1286" ></figure>It’s a place for a date night, family dinner, business meeting or hanging out with friends. It’s for everyone, all occasions and, hopefully, a lot of out of town guests. “I think the more restaurants in Jasper like this, it brings people to the area,” Barry said. “You get a lot of people coming here, they miss Jasper, they go straight to French Lick. Why not just bring people here?”</div></body>
