Everyone has a seat

Accessibility at Stumpknockers.

We want every guest to feel welcome and be able to enjoy a meal here without unnecessary barriers. This page explains what we offer and how to request specific accommodations.

Our commitment

Stumpknockers Restaurants is committed to providing an inclusive experience for all guests, regardless of ability. We continuously review our physical space, our website, and our service practices to remove barriers and improve access. If something is not working for you, we want to know — and we will fix it.

Physical access to the restaurant

Our building is a converted historic storefront on the downtown Inverness square, and we have made updates to keep it usable for guests with mobility aids, wheelchairs, strollers, and service animals.

  • Step-free entrance from W Main Street via a permanent ramp
  • Accessible restrooms located on the main dining floor
  • Wide aisles between tables to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers
  • Adjustable seating: booths, standard chairs, and armless chairs available
  • Free public parking along W Main Street and Square lots with accessible spaces
  • Doors held open by staff when requested
  • Service animals welcome in all dining areas

If you use a wheelchair and plan to visit during a busy service, we recommend calling ahead so we can reserve a table with the right clearance and avoid a wait. We are happy to do that — it is not an inconvenience.

Planning a visit with specific needs?

Call us at (352) 726-2212 or email [email protected]. Tell us what would make the visit easier. We will confirm before you arrive, and we will not ask you to explain yourself twice.

Service and communication

Our team is trained to adapt service to each guest. If there is something we are not doing, please tell us — we would rather adjust than have you leave uncomfortable.

  • Large-print menus available on request
  • Staff available to read the menu aloud if needed
  • Written specials available on request
  • Quiet corner tables available for guests with sensory sensitivity
  • Patience with service animals, medical devices, and assistance companions
  • We will repeat or rephrase information without rushing you

Dietary and medical accommodations

We take allergies and medical dietary needs seriously. If you have a severe allergy or a medically restricted diet, please tell your server before ordering, and call ahead if you want to discuss the kitchen's capabilities. We are not a dedicated allergen-free kitchen, and we want to be honest about what we can and cannot guarantee.

  • Grilled, broiled, and steamed options available for many dishes
  • Sauces and dressings served on the side when requested
  • Ingredient questions answered directly, not guessed
  • We will tell you honestly if a dish is not safe for your needs

For more detailed information on dietary needs and allergy handling, see our FAQ page.

Website accessibility

We have built this website to be usable with modern assistive technologies and to broadly follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA as a target. That includes:

  • Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
  • Alternative text on meaningful images
  • Keyboard-navigable interactive elements including the cart drawer
  • Sufficient color contrast for body text and interactive controls
  • Respect for reduced-motion preferences where animations are used
  • Forms with associated labels and clear error messaging

If you encounter a page or feature that does not work with your assistive technology, please let us know. We treat website accessibility reports the same way we treat physical access issues — as something to fix, not something to explain away.

Takeout and pickup accessibility

Guests who prefer not to enter the dining room can still enjoy our food. Our takeout process is built to be simple and predictable:

  • Order online or by phone — no app or account required
  • Call-ahead ordering for guests who cannot use the online form
  • Curbside hand-off available on request when staff are available
  • Pickup counter is on the main floor with clear signage
  • Staff will bring bags to your car if you call from the parking area

If neither online ordering nor a phone call works for you, email us at [email protected] and we will find another way.

Employment and third parties

Our commitment to accessibility extends to how we hire and how we work with vendors. We do not discriminate on the basis of disability in hiring, and we expect the same from any partner or contractor working on our behalf. If you believe you have experienced discrimination at our restaurant, please contact us directly so we can address it.

This accessibility statement was last reviewed and updated in January 2026. We revisit it annually and whenever we make significant changes to our space, service, or website.
