| - If you are looking for a no frills Friday night fish fry that will blow your mind, this is your place. I am giving this place 5 stars because it is wonderful for a very simple meal, with excellent service.
We had a little trouble finding the door (the entrance is in the back facing away from Packers Ave.) but once we walked in and sat at one of their wobbly tables, we were instantly greeted by our friendly server. Though the bar was busy, we got our drinks immediately, along with a basket with two basic white bread rolls and coleslaw. All very standard issue.
The fish was another story. Whoa. I got the Canadian perch and my boyfriend got the Canadian walleye. The large single piece of walleye was lightly breaded and fried perfectly. It was buttery, non-fishy, and totally delicious. The baked potato that came with it was pretty standard, but good. The perch was battered differently in a thicker, more crunchy coating. The little strips were just AMAZING. I got a pile of 7 or 8 strips that I honestly couldn't stop eating. The fries were done to perfection as well.
My boyfriend and I are somewhat light eaters in general, but we cleared out all of that fried goodness in one sitting. On the way out the cooks from the back yelled good bye, the bartender wished us a good night, and someone standing by the door smiled and asked us to come back soon. I can't say enough about how friendly everyone here is. It looks like a burned out biker bar, but their simple menu is done right. I never thought I would like a place so much that doesn't have salad on their menu, but I anticipate we will be back many many more times.
