| - Pretty Good! I have to admit that I am not a fan of "fried everything", but when you get the urge for fish/clam strips/shrimp/onion rings/fries, and you will be clogging up an artery anyway you really should eat the best, and this is it. Quality food, that is fresh, not frozen, cooked in high quality oil. Quality at the expense of economy, this is a dangerous combination for a young restaurant to attempt. We hope they can pull it off.
The fries are crispy and light, the onion rings taste great and don't leave behind a puddle of oil. We had the haddock, which is served with a couple of different dipping sauces. It was great!, white, lightly breaded with a very nice batter, and not greasy. You actually taste the freshness of the fish. The slaw was good, but not special, but lowly coleslaw would have to do a Tasmanian tap dance on your taste buds to stand out from the flavor of the fish. There are numerous other items and combinations of items on the menu board, and to be fair I did notice that there are grilled items (non fried) being added to the mix.
We got the feeling that this is a family affair. Ada was visiting with the guests, the kids (obviously quite young) were helping out and mingling with the diners, the cook, (Mr. Ada?) was also visiting and checking on the guests and helping refill drinks. Pretty refreshing and small townish in their approach to customer service. We liked it.
No pirate hats for the kids, you won't use coupons for free hush puppies or an extra "plank" of fish, no fish tacos, (oh please Ada, never do that, it just isn't natural). It's a little hard to find, tucked into a strip mall sort of location on Indian School road at the end of Wigwam Road in Goodyear, Arizona, but well worth the trip.
