The Paddle Trap

The Paddle Trap is a scenic, family‑friendly waterfront restaurant and bar serving American cuisine right on the river. Their made-from-scratch menu features brunch, lunch, dinner, and a kids’ menu, with standout dishes like specialty burgers, hand-breaded walleye sandwiches, white‑cheddar cheese curds, spicy fried chicken sandwiches, and hearty entrees like sirloin steak and grilled salmon.

The atmosphere is relaxing and vibrant — guests can dine year-round on the large patio overlooking the Missouri River and even reserve heated igloos in the winter for a cozy, unique dining experience.

What makes The Paddle Trap truly special is its riverfront charm and adaptability: you can even dock your boat at their private marina and order food and drinks directly from your vessel. Their upstairs space is available for private events, and they offer full off-site catering, making them a great choice for celebrations, corporate gatherings, or family parties.

With its combination of scratch-made comfort food, waterfront views, year-round dining options, and event-friendly setup, The Paddle Trap stands out as a go-to destination for both dining and entertaining.
