We ask all of our patrons to support the guys on Zeke’s Team this season as spectators or as players.

The C. B. White Men’s Senior Softball League started up in the early 1990’s.  The league is divided into two Divisions.  Gold Division (60+) has approximately 150 players and Silver Division (70+) has over 100 players.  Open practice sessions are held starting at 8:30 AM at the adult softball fields at the Englewood Sports Complex on River Road.  These practices take place every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday and normally run from late March through the end of December.  The league season starts in early January and goes through the middle of March.  Gold Division (60+) plays on Wednesday and Friday mornings and Silver Division (70+) plays on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  During the season, open practice sessions continue, but only on Mondays.

If you’re interested in playing Softball and joining the team, let us know and we’ll put you in contact with Zeke’s team’s managers.

Have a Great Lunch in Englewood

Zeke’s newest menu is chock full of new sandwiches to make our lunch offering more enticing. We hope you will feel is one of the best in Englewood.

We have 10 new sandwiches and 8 new salads featured on our new lunch menu. We hope you’ll try them all!

Zeke’s Muffuletta

The muffuletta is both a type of round Sicilian sesame bread^[1] and a popular sandwich originating among Italian immigrants in New Orleans, Louisiana using the same bread.

Zeke’s Muffuletta is one of the newest creations on our new summer lunch menu. We’ve created this menu to give you a Great Lunch in Englewood. Slightly different than the traditional New Orlean’s version, Zeke’s Muffuletta is presented on fresh Foccacia instead of a round Muffuletta loaf. They are very similar in texture, but the Focaccia is a square loaf.

What’s on the inside, however, is nearly pure tradition. Imported Mortadella (an Italian type of Bologna with Pork Fat and Pistachios), Soppresata (an Italian soft Salami), Smoked Pit Ham, Lettuce, Ripe Tomato, Provolone..and of course, the Muffuletta’s signature Olive Salad.

This 1-Pound Sandwich is more than enough to satisfy even the biggest appetites and has as much flavor as it does heft. If you’re looking for a great lunch in Englewood, you won’t be disappointed!
