Mark your calendars for September 4th & 5th right here in Patoka! We're droppin anchor ⚓ and firing up the fryers to bring you the freshest catch straight from the rivers to your plate.

Here’s what we’re cookin' up:
🔥 Wild River-Caught Catfish Nuggets – Golden, crispy, and fried to perfection!
🔥 Fresh Buffalo Ribs – Dressed right, seasoned up, and hot off the oil!
