We love a big party

Let us host your gathering

Church groups, motorcycle clubs, tour buses, family reunions — we've been seating big tables by the river for generations, and we're always glad for the company.

All kinds of crowds

Who we love to feed

If your group can fit through the door, we can almost certainly find you a table. These are the folks who fill the dining room most weekends.

Church groups

Sunday-afternoon crowds and midweek fellowship dinners. Tell us the number and we'll set the long tables.

Family reunions

Multiple generations, one very long table, and enough hushpuppies to go around twice.

Motorcycle clubs

A favorite ride destination on the river. Plenty of room to park and swap stories before supper.

Senior groups & clubs

Easy parking, single-level dining and a menu that makes everyone happy. Book ahead and skip the wait.

Motorcoach & tour buses

We've been feeding buses off the Shiloh and Pickwick Lake routes for decades. Call well ahead and we'll build the timing around you.

Celebrations & reunions

Birthdays, anniversaries, retirements and class get-togethers. Bring a cake — we'll bring the pie.

Three easy steps

How a group visit works

1

Give us a call or send a note

Let us know your group size, the date and about what time you'd like to eat.

2

Our family works out the details

We'll tell you honestly what the room can do that day, and how we'd set your tables.

3

Come hungry, leave happy

Arrive, sit down together, and let the hushpuppies do the introductions.

Reaching out about a group is a request, not a confirmed reservation. We do our best to welcome every group, though we cannot always fit every date and party size.

Room for everybody

Big tables, little details

  • ✓

    Long tables and semi-private areas. We can often set aside a section of the dining room, depending on the day and time.

  • ✓

    Menus that scale. Fried catfish by the platter, family-style sides and pie for the whole table.

  • ✓

    Bus-friendly timing. Confirm your arrival window ahead of time so the kitchen is ready when your wheels stop.

  • ✓

    High chairs and kid options. Children's menu, kiddie's dinner and plenty of patience for the little ones.

Availability varies by season and day. We'll always tell you what's possible before you load the van.
