About The Position
Lizard's Thicket is looking to hire a full or part-time Breakfast Cook / Short-Order Cook to help our kitchen staff prepare delicious food for our loyal customers.

To this day, we are still owned and operated by Bob and Anna's children and grandchildren. At Lizard's Thicket, we value our staff members and consider them to be one of the most important assets of our business.
