| - Came here two Friday nights in a row for their Lenten dinner specials - yes, the fish sandwiches are THAT good. This place was packed both nights, and the number of take out orders leaving this restaurant was crazy! I couldn't believe how much food they were pumping out of that kitchen. I'm so glad this place is close - less than 10 minutes from our house - a solid neighborhood find. The service was friendly (although a bit slow as they were VERY busy on the Lenten Fridays we were there) and our food was good and came out hot. The fish was REALLY good and HUGE portions. The sandwich comes with two giant fillets, fries, coleslaw and a bun to make a sandwich with. I also tried the shrimp platter - it was generous too and the shrimp tasted good, was hot and was crispy being breaded in Panko. It was however, VERY greasy. I think I will stick to the fish as the Lenten dinners go. We tried the fried apps as well - hush puppies, jalapeno poppers and their house made cheese sticks. All of these were just OK - pretty clearly just freezer to fryer stuff, but it wasn't bad for the price. The house made cheese sticks were crispy on the outside - not breaded. They were also just OK. Other sides we tried were the mac and cheese and haluski. The mac and cheese was almost overwhelmingly buttery - more like buttered macaroni noodles with some cheese, rather than a macaroni and cheese with a cheese sauce that may have had some butter in it. It was just OK - it was a lot of butter for me. The haluski was also OK, but pretty tasty. Definitely worth at least one Lenten Friday trip! We will be back to try their other "non-Lenten" dinner options soon enough, I'm sure. Always love a good neighborhood find!
