🚨🍝🍗 THURSDAY CALLED… IT SAID YOUR COOKING PRIVILEGES HAVE BEEN REVOKED! 😂

It’s FAMILY SPAGHETTI & ½ FRIED CHICKEN THURSDAY at The Railside! 🤤🔥

🍝 Family spaghetti — because one plate is never enough when somebody at the table eats like they just got released into the wild.

🍗 ½ fried chicken — crispy, golden, and ready to make your fingers shinier than your future! 🤣

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Bring the family, bring your appetite, and bring that one person who says they’re not hungry but eats half your food. WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE. 👀

🍻 Grab a drink, enjoy the patio, and let US handle dinner tonight!

⏰ KITCHEN OPEN UNTIL 8:45 PM!

📍 The Railside Bar & Grill

Skip the dishes. Skip the cooking. Skip pretending your spaghetti at home is better. 😉😂

THURSDAY’S FORECAST: 100% CHANCE OF FULL BELLIES AND ZERO CLEAN PANS AT HOME! 🍝🍗💥

🚨🐔 WING WEDNESDAY IS HERE, YOU BEAUTIFUL LITTLE SAUCE GOBLINS! 🐔🚨

Your diet called. We put it on hold. Your pants are concerned. Your taste buds are THRIVING. 🤣🔥

🍗 BONE-IN, BONELESS & NAKED WINGS!
🌶️ Sauces that’ll make you question your life choices!
🤤 Tossed in sauce or get it on the side!

⚠️ 10-WING MINIMUM — because ordering 3 wings is just a cry for help. 😂

⏰ KITCHEN OPEN UNTIL 7:45 PM!

Get your butt down to The Railside Bar & Grill before the wings are gone and you’re stuck eating a sad sandwich at home. 😭

Tag your wing accomplice below 👇 Who’s buying? Who’s stealing your fries? And who’s gonna need a glass of milk? 🌶️🥛

WING IT. SAUCE IT. REGRET NOTHING. 🍗💥

🍻 $3 Corona & Modelo
🍹 $4 rail margaritas because hydration is important. Probably.

Tag your taco partner. Tag your hungry cousin. Tag that one friend who says they’re “just getting a drink” and eats half your plate. 👀

📍 THE RAILSIDE BAR & GRILL
🌮 Come hungry. Leave happy. Loosen a belt. Repeat.

IT’S NOT A TACO EMERGENCY UNTIL YOU’RE EATING TACOS IN THE PARKING LOT. 😂🌮🚂

🍅 BUILD-YOUR-OWN BLOODY MARY BAR! Load that thing up like it owes you money! 🥓🌶️🥒

🍗 $1 WINGS ALL DAY! Bone-in AND boneless!
⚠️ 10 WING MINIMUM PER ORDER! We’re running a wing special, not a chicken charity! 🤣

🐟🚨 FIIIIISH FRIDAY, YOU BEAUTIFUL BASKET OF BAD DECISIONS!!! 🚨🐟

It’s Friday, which means it’s time to put on your stretchy pants, ignore your responsibilities, and let a deep-fried fish basket solve at least 3 of your problems. 😂🍻

🐟 FISH FRIDAY IS HAPPENING AT THE RAILSIDE!

🔥 Catfish, walleye & cod — OH MY!
🔥 Pick your batter and get ready to CRUNCH!
🔥 Pick your potato + soup or salad!
🔥 Homemade potato salad that disappears faster than your paycheck!
🔥 CHEESE CURD FLIGHTS because apparently we’ve decided regular cheese curds aren’t enough anymore. 🤤🧀

Wash it down with something cold, grab your favorite people, and come get a little FRIED with us.

⚠️ Side effects may include: full bellies, happy taste buds, unbuttoned pants, and saying “I shouldn’t have ordered that much” while reaching for one more bite.

📍 THE RAILSIDE BAR & GRILL
🍻 Your diet called. We sent it straight to voicemail.

🚂 THE RAILSIDE BAR & GRILL
Where the wings are hot, the drinks are cold, and somebody is definitely going to say, “I probably shouldn’t have ordered another basket.”

🐟🚨 FISH FRIDAY: BECAUSE APPARENTLY WE’RE ALL JUST OUT HERE BATTERING FISH AND MAKING QUESTIONABLE DECISIONS. 🚨🐟

Today’s aquatic casualties include:

🐟 WALLEYE
🐟 CATFISH
🐟 COD

And you get to choose your weapon… I mean BATTER:

🌽 CORNMEAL — CRONCH.
💦 WET BATTER — because apparently the fish needed a hot tub before getting fried. 😂

🥔 HOMEMADE POTATO SALAD — dangerously good.

🧀 CHEESE CURD FLIGHTS because one flavor is for people with self-control, and we clearly don’t know those people:

🔥 Ranch
🥒 Dill
🌶️ Cajun
🧄 Garlic
🧀 Regular
🌶️ Jalapeño

Come get your Friday fish fix before the fish union sends us a cease & desist. 🐟✋

Fish. Fried. Curds. Potato salad. Zero regrets.

🍗🚨 WING WEDNESDAY, YOU BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CHICKEN FIENDS 🚨🍗

50¢ BONELESS WINGS 😳
$1 BONE-IN WINGS 🍗
👉 10 WING MINIMUM

That means 10 wings minimum… because nobody comes to The Railside for “just a little snack.” We have standards. Questionable standards, but standards. 😂

🔥 GET ’EM SAUCY:
BBQ • Buffalo • Garlic Parmesan • Mango Habanero • Jala-Mango • Kickin’ Creamy Sriracha • Sweet Red Chili • Kickin’ Bourbon • Jamaican Jerk • Carolina Gold • Sweet Habanero • Hot Honey • Three Pepper Fire • Blackberry Dijon • Caribbean Jerk

Toss ’em. Sauce ’em. Get sauce on your face and pretend it was intentional. 🤷‍♂️😂

⚠️ WARNING: Side effects may include sticky fingers, regret, happiness, and suddenly realizing you ordered 30 wings.

WINGS THIS CHEAP SHOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE ADULT SUPERVISION. 🍗😂

📍Come get ’em before the chickens file a class-action lawsuit.
