The local scoop

The Paddle Trap sits beside the Missouri River in Mandan, with patio dining and a private marina connecting the restaurant to the waterfront. Lunch and dinner are joined by weekend brunch, and a kids' menu adds options for family visits. Dockside food and drinks make it a different kind of restaurant stop from the Main Street dining blocks.

What they're serving

  • Missouri River waterfront and patio
  • Weekend brunch

Before you head over

The main kitchen closes at 8 pm even though the restaurant remains open until 9 pm. Weekend brunch runs 10 am to 2 pm. Contact the restaurant about dockside service and patio availability before a river outing.
