Restaurants and bars

Cooking worth the trip on its own

One room for a long dinner, one for a fast one, and one that is open when nothing else is.

River kitchen · $$$

The Rocalvina

Catfish, walleye and pork from farms upriver, with a pie list that changes daily.

Tavern · $$

A long bar, a fire, and a fish fry on Friday that the whole town turns up to.

Breakfast & lunch · $

Breakfast on the porch from six, and a plate lunch that has not changed in twenty years.

Cocktails · $$$

On the boat's upper deck, with rye, river light and a piano on Saturdays.

Bakery · $

Kolaches, cinnamon rolls and coffee, mostly sold to people on their way to work.

Practical

Every kitchen keeps an allergen matrix at the pass and every menu is available in large print. Tell whoever seats you and they will tell the kitchen.

Welcome everywhere except the gaming floor and the bars after 8 PM. There is a proper children's menu rather than three fried things.

Full vegetarian and vegan options at every venue, not a single substitution, and gluten-free bread made rather than bought in.

There is no dress code anywhere. We ask for smart dress in one room late in the evening and we ask it kindly.
