Those of you who weren’t born and raised in the south may not know what a catfish sandwich is. These days, the newly renovated Ski Shores Cafe is serving up one of the best catfish sandwiches you’ll find anywhere.  Certainly, the catfish sandwich can be made many ways. It can be fried, filleted, or baked.  It can be served spicy hot or much more mild.

The best catfish sandwiches, like those at Ski Shores Cafe, have to be tasted to be believed.  At Ski Shores Cafe, they take a 1/3 pound fillet of farm-raised catfish, hand-bread and golden fry it and then serve it with tartar sauce and vegetables.  Finger licking good!

Enjoy a unique Southern recipe and have fun watching the turtles, the boats and more any day of the week.

More than just a great meal, the newly expanded and renovated Ski Shores Cafe offers a total experience patrons will truly appreciate. Customers can come and enjoy the indoor-outdoor dining area any of the seven days in a week, and all year long. They can sit along the lake, enjoy the full-service bar, and be served in style by a waiting staff to your table. Feeling hungry out on the lake? No problem. Just bring your boat up to one of the several new cleated boat slips and receive your meal right on deck with Sky Shores Cafe’s dockside service.

The cuisine has been beefed up as well. In addition to the Sky Shores Cafe’s traditional items like catfish sandwiches, pizza and Border and Scooter burgers, you can order less traditional, new offerings from the expanded menu. Need to do a little surfing while dining? Just get on-line for free using the newly installed WiFi wireless service. Sky Shores Cafe is a great place to relax, enjoy the scenery, listen to live music a few times a week, or even watch your favorite sports on one of several flat screen TVs found throughout the café.

As Mark Turner, one of the two comprising the management team at Ski Shores puts it: “Ski Shores has always been about spending a day with friends on the water and stopping here — It’s one of the things that ‘makes Austin Austin.’ For fifty-plus years, people have come here to enjoy the unique waterfront setting. There’s something for everyone here and we have painstakingly preserved that legacy, while improving the experience.”

Ski Shores Cafe will be celebrating its grand re-opening, offering fabulous traditional Austin cuisine seven days a week and all year-round.  Ski Shores Cafe will be able to accommodate about twice the number of diners as before in an open-air facility, with indoor eating as well. Customers will enjoy a full service bar, full waiting staff and table service, and even the remarkable option of pulling up to one of the boat slips along the roomy dock, and receiving your meal via dockside delivery.

Well known for its classic American menu, the eatery has added many new entrees to the tried and true fare it offered previously. Included in the mix will be all the iconic offerings of Ski Shores Cafe’s previous incarnation, such as Border and Scooter burgers, pizza, catfish sandwiches and quite a bit more.

The enjoyment quotient of waterfront dining has increased expansively with the re-opening of Ski Shores Cafe.
