🎣⚾ FISH FRIDAY IS SWIMMING INTO THE WEEKEND! ⚾🎣

Bad news: The fish lost their game today.

Good news: They’re still making an appearance at the Railside. 😎

Tonight’s starting lineup:

🏆 Catfish
🏆 Walleye
🏆 Bluegill
🏆 Catfish Nuggets

🥔 Homemade Potato Salad
🍺 Ice Cold Drinks
☀️ Patio Open

The fish put up a good fight, but they couldn’t stay out of our net. 🎣😂

So skip the dishes, grab your favorite fishing buddies, and head to the patio. The only thing fresher than our fish is the excuse you’ll use when you order dessert after saying, “I’m stuffed.”

Come for the fish, stay for the potato salad, and leave with enough dad jokes to embarrass your kids all weekend. 🐟🤣🍻

Warning: Our Fish Friday may cause uncontrollable smiling, repeated visits, and the sudden urge to tell terrible fishing puns. 🎣🐠🚂🍺

🍗🍝 THURSDAY SPECIAL: The Ultimate Family Feud! 🍝🍗

Tonight, we’re settling an age-old debate:

Chicken: “I’m the star of dinner!”
Spaghetti: “Hold my meatball.”

Good news—you don’t have to choose sides.

🔥 1/2 Fried Chicken Dinner
🍝 Family-Style Spaghetti
😋 No cooking, no dishes, no explaining why dinner came from the freezer.

Bring the family, bring your appetite, and leave the cooking to us. After all, Thursday is just Friday’s slightly less attractive cousin, so let’s make the most of it!

⏰ Kitchen open until 8:45 PM
🍗🍝 Come hungry. Leave with zero regrets and possibly an extra nap scheduled. 😆

🍗 It’s Wing Wednesday! 🍗

Why did the chicken join a band? Because it already had the drumsticks! 🥁😆

Swing by for jumbo bone-in, boneless, or naked wings tossed in your favorite sauce—or keep things on the side if you’re feeling sauce-cautious

Cold drinks, great food, and zero judgment if you order extra napkins. It’s Wing Wednesday—let your taste buds take flight! 🍻🍗
