Signal 5 was a casual dining destination offering a variety of lunch and dinner options. It was a perfect spot for family and friends to enjoy different cuts of meat including Emu. Yes, they even had Emu on the menu! The restaurant garnered rave reviews from its patrons after it opened its doors last year. The name of the restaurant and the decor were meant to honor all first responders. Everyone felt comfortable as soon as they walked through the door.
