Get ready for some real, locally-raised fried catfish starting today at The Dug Out.
For only $11.99 per plate, you get three pieces of fish, The Dugout’s famous fries, and hushpuppies.
“Just like the rest of the menu at The Dugout, Fish Friday will be coming from our backyard to the restaurant,” owner Michael Quarles said. “The way we prepare the 100-percent USDA farm raised catfish is a recipe I have been using for 30 years. Ever since I opened The Dugout, I have had requests from friends for me to put my fried fish on the menu. We are going to serve fish only on Fridays and as long as we have a demand for it.”
Nestled along Highway 167 South, and conveniently right next to the Ruston Sports Complex, The Dugout offers the perfect refreshments and dinners, and not just for sports fans– it’s for anyone that wants great food, both for dining in or on the go.
And it’s the mission Quarles to make the Dugout feel like good backyard grilling right in his restaurant.
“When we cook for people here, we want them to feel like they’re eating food cooked in the backyard,” Quarles said. “It’s the same hamburger patties, chicken wings, buffalo sauce, everything; from my backyard to the restaurant.”
Don’t forget Taco Tuesday: $1.25 tacos and two-for-one frozen daiquiris on Tuesdays.
Located at 2008 Champions Way in Ruston, lots of customers make their way from all over Lincoln and Jackson Parish, along with the sports crowd that comes in for the Dixie World Series and other big events.
“We have a lot of regulars that come for lunch,” Quarles said. “We have a really good menu and it’s priced fairly well. You get a lot of food.”
For the kiddos, they have frozen lemonade, and don’t forget the beer-by-the-bucket for the grown-ups.
The Dugout is open seven days a week. On Sunday through Thursday, they’re open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday, they’re open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Come visit The Dugout and see what all the buzz is about.
