Bon Appetite:
The food is as memorable as the fishing.

Boat Lunches as Enjoyable as the River Itself

Turkey club and pasta salad or taco salad with chipotle ranch
Cubano and a Caesar salad or crispy fried chicken with potato salad
Pulled Pork (brined overnight and slow cooked in the smoker).
**All boat lunches are accompanied by a variety of chips, homemade cookies, snacks, cold water, and soft drinks.
When the weather turns cooler, enjoy hot soups all made from scratch in our kitchen, including:
