Awesome riverfront spot! Overlooking the river with plenty of tables and seating, but pack a few lawn chairs for overflow.
When you first arrive, you’ll see a long line—that’s for their famous fried chicken and catfish dinners. If you’re not eating, you can skip the line and go right through the gate (they’ll check your ID and bag).
We arrived around 7:30 PM (band started at 6 PM), and it was very crowded with limited seating, so bring a few lawn chairs just in case (can always grab them). The space is huge, with palm trees, live bands, beverages, and plenty of room to dance. The weather was perfect by the river! Prepare for sun, outdoors, and maybe some bugs
The band playing that night was Hotel Desperado – an Eagles tribute band, and I’m sure they brought the crowd (that’s why we went!). They were fantastic!
This is a family-friendly spot, and kids are welcome. There’s even a bounce house, but I did notice some children climbing on top and along the sides over concrete—not safe. Someone did step in, but it happened again, so parents—please keep an eye out.
We grabbed food indoors after the band ended at 9 PM, and it was amazing! They offer bar seating and plenty of tables indoor or picnic tables outside. We were served indoors and the staff was very friendly and didn’t rush us out at closing time. Thank you for letting us finish our yummy late nite dinner!
Overall: A fun outdoor venue with great music, a lively crowd, and a laid-back riverfront vibe. Feels like a quick vacation!

Went on a Sunday for my lil cousins bday. Food was good as always. It was pretty hot that day so for a Sunday late lunch it wasn’t too busy. Just a nice crowd. I had burger and fries. It was cooked perfectly.

This place was such a gem! We had some really fresh catfish that wasn’t fishy at all—just perfectly cooked. The fried chicken was well-seasoned and crispy, and everything tasted fresh. I do wish the fries had a little more seasoning, but they were still good. The fried fritters with honey took me straight back to the carnival—so good! The prices were very reasonable, with large portions and affordable alcoholic drinks. The atmosphere was colorful and welcoming—honestly, it felt like being on a resort without actually being at one. It’s definitely a whole vibe! Plus, they even had a bounce house for the kids, which was a fun touch.

That was a great dinner outing! It is quite a drive from my house, but the road is beautiful! The fried catfish, fried corn fritters and fries were going and the beer was cold. This is definitely a family friendly place and they had a bouncy castle for the kids…

Whenever I’m craving catfish and I’m in Omaha, this is where I go. I love the location of this place, it’s almost an unbeatable experience sitting outside and watching boats go by in the summer. The catfish dinner is my go to here with a basket of their amazing corn fritters. The catfish has great breading and flavor and comes with fries, coleslaw, tartar sauce, and lemons. The corn fritters are phenomenal, try them with honey.

Great location in the bottoms of Ponca Hills. Just a short drive north of N.P. Dodge Park. The chicken I’d always juicy and the fare always freshly made. Facilities are all newly renovated and there is a marina on site.

Really fun place to listen to music and have some good food. The hours are not crazy late so the overall vibe is calm and collected with plenty of space for lots of people. Plenty of parking too. The only thing to note is that it’s outside eating so Yay for people who smoke while they eat, but, since I do not, I really have to mention this.. you’ll be eating food and someone will be smoking near you. I haven’t tasted cigarettes while I eat dinner since, what, 1996?? Been a while, that’s all I know! And so it was a surprise (so minus one star on that for me) Positive note- you can move seats and find any of the other acres of tables to sit at! Or just pretend you’re a kid again and Uncle Bob is over and he brought a bucket of fried chicken! Uncle Bob smoked while we ate, in case you didn’t pick up on that. They allllllll did back in the day. So I mean, the place takes you back to when you’re a kid! Which reminds me- there’s a bouncy house and kids were flying all over that place! Wowza! You know..It’s a family reunion type atmosphere!

Neat casual place along the river. Has a lot of seating outside and a small area inside to eat if needed. Live music when we were there.

Loved it great place for the family, when i was there they had a few bands playing and a bounce house going for the kids, great atmosphere and good food and drinks! Love the watermelon drink they serve at the bar. Its alittle pricy but well worth the money for the food portions.

It was my first time. This is a great place to meet with friends and bring family, including kids. Everything is in the open by the river. I enjoyed my fried chicken with fries and cole slaw and a margarita. They had live music on Sunday which added to the already great atmosphere.
