| - Becky S. gave me exactly what I was hoping for: a good AYCE fish fry review reminiscent of what can be found in my former domicile of Wisconsin. Thanks!
The AYCE fish fry is $10.99 with drinks costing $1.95. However, unless you have a bottomless stomach stick with the cheaper single-plate option because the portions are HUGE!! Both include your choice of potato and small bowl of coleslaw. The coleslaw was primarily just mayo, cabbage, and shredded carrot so I chose not to waste calories by eating it. Celery seed, minced onion, and lemon juice would definitely brighten it up.
The fish, however, is a real winner and after inquiring to our lovely waitress Emily on the difference between AYCE and their regular fish fry, she said the initial portion for AYCE is the same as the single-plate. Whoa! Now I'm a big guy (6'6", 275) and I could barely finish off my own plate, so next time I'll know to skip the AYCE and go regular fish fry instead. The tartar sauce had plenty of relish but could benefit from a little more lemony tartness (personal preference.) Of course, there's also malt vinegar on each table for diners who fancy that over tartar sauce ...
Peoria Cafe is your typical hometown style cafe with a loud, open atmosphere. Almost as good as Byler's in Black Canyon City but a whole lot closer drive. I'll definitely be back when I crave a Wisconsin-style Friday night fish fry!
