The Paddle Trap

The Paddle Trap
4.3 / 5 (1355 reviews)

Description

Nestled by the Missouri River, this restaurant offers a picturesque dining experience, especially from its patio. While the ambiance and scenic views are commendable, the food quality has received mixed reviews. Some dishes, like the steak tacos, shine, while others disappoint. The brunch options are flavorful but limited in variety, with a notable lack of breakfast-centric choices. Service can be hit-or-miss, with instances of friendly staff and quick service, contrasted by billing discrepancies and inconsistent drink preparation. Overall, patrons appreciate the setting and are willing to give the restaurant another chance, despite some culinary shortcomings.

The food was delicious, but the service was extremely slow. Our server took so long that we felt compelled to apologize to the manager and were offered a discount. We didn't even have to complain - truly!

My favorite spot for wings. The atmosphere is great. The terrace is perfect in the summer and even better in the winter. They have the best brunch.

I have always loved this restaurant! The food and drinks are fantastic, and the location is great. They have recently renovated and added a fun outdoor swing bar area with a taco truck. However, I have to mention that the tacos are a bit pricey for the portion size - $15 for 3 tacos that are on the smaller side. I ended up leaving still feeling hungry, which was disappointing. Next time, I plan to explore the other side of the menu. Despite this, it is still an amazing place in my opinion and I would give it 5 stars. I love it!

Randomly chose this place and didn’t know what to expect. Thought maybe it was gonna be princely because of the location which maybe? But we had the Wagyu (I’m curious if it’s actually from Japan tho… and the walleye sandwich. No complaints. Mybrother liked his burger and the fries were nice and crispy. The walleye was well seasoned and the sauce was nice. Don’tremember our server’s name but she was the only one there when we went and she was very kind.

Some of the best food I have had on my work trip. Very flavorful and the view isn’t bad either!
