With summer break in full swing and school closed ‘til August we would like to remind folks that if any school-age child or teenager in Jackson County is running a bit short on meals that Rowdy’s will provide a nutritious meal(s) free of charge during the summer break on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

If you’re not able to get to the restaurant to pick up or eat in person we can arrange delivery on a case-by-case basis.

No need to worry, all you need to ask for is the school lunch and the choices are:
~Pulled Pork
-Pulled Chicken
-Grilled Cheese
-Baked Beans
-Green Beans
-Cheesy Potatoes
Drinks
-Bottled Water
-Milk

Our community has supported us for over 13 years and we are here to give back to the community that has been so kind to us.
