Absolutely outstanding. Food is always very good and the service is outstanding. They make an extraordinary effort in terms of service, it is clearly part of their business model for success. Do not let the fact that this seems like a college bar fool you. It is a great place for lunch or Friday fish fry, and absolutely family friendly.
Best Friday fish menu and food in Madison. Options include lightly breaded lake perch & cod, grilled walleye prepared two ways, and salmon. Incredible potato pancakes if you desire, and a tremendous new england clam chowder. You will never get a clam chowder with more full sized clams, anywhere.
Just try it once and see for yourself.
No reservations and they don't take your name, you just stand around and wait for a table to open. The system works really well, and people acknowledge and respect the order you came into the restaurant.
By the way, never park in the small lot, it is a pain.. Just park on the street.
