| - Deep fried battered fish and fries from some frozen food distributor, and not even of the Gorton's fisherman quality--air space between batter and fish and ends of pieces were devoid of fish. Portion sizes were okay, with the fries especially generous and 3 average pieces of fish. No lemon sliver and no malt vinegar (my fault for not asking for the latter, so maybe they did have it, but visits from the server were few and far between since we were seated outside and Karaoke going on inside, which also meant that we had to walk in front of performers to get to the bar to get to a server to tell her we were outside--a logistically poor and embarrassing layout for those of us not wishing to inadvertently find ourselves the center of attention.). Tartar sauce and coleslaw (okay, but why just a couple spoonfuls? Cabbage is cheap) served in little plastic containers with caps--why? It wasn't a to-go meal, so why serve my meal with throwaways esp. when the world is overrun with necessary plastic?
I went with a coupon for $5.99 fish dinner and showed it to server upon arrival and asked if it was still good and she said yes. When I got home and put my glasses on, I found I had been charged $7.50 with the description saying "Fish fry with coupon special." Guess they had upped the price since my clipped ad which didn't have a date on it, but why wasn't I told when I asked? Why was it just slipped in without an explanation? And why did it take so long for us to get our check?--I really didn't want to go back inside and walk across a performer again....
At least they had something other than Bud-light on tap, so had Amber Bock, at a small pitcher price of $4.50--good deal even though it wasn't Happy Hour, and boy could I use it!
