| - Stopped in for lunch on Wednesday, because I wanted something different. It's not that I'm tired of the places I always eat, I just wanted something I haven't had. I had heard good things about the Friday fish sammich, so I thought I'd try it before gong for the thing they are best known for. Wednesday special is the spaghetti, I went with a burger with mushroom and swiss. For a side, I had the fried mushrooms. These fried mushrooms aren't frozen from a bag, these things are done in batter. It's their own batter. It's the batter they use for the fish on Friday. It's darn good batter. After eating the mushrooms, I was determined to go have the Friday fish, because that batter is that good. If they can make mushrooms this well, I couldn't imagine how good the fish would be.
So, went back today, Friday, for the fish.
We sat at the bar, in the same seats as Wednesday. The same lady was working the bar, but there were 2 guys on the grill, and another server. (Friday draws a bigger crowd). It was by no means a large crowd (when we were there), but there was definitely more people there than on Wednesday.
I got the fish, my lunch date (same guy as wed) also got the fish.
Someone apparently ordered the fish grilled, and we were concerned that that was our order, I don't know why anyone would get it grilled.
A batch of the fried came out of the fryer, and I saw him dump them to drain and I audibly gasped and said "OH MY GAWD". It looks really good coming out of the fryer.
There are 2 large pieces on the sandwich. It comes with fries and some pretty good coleslaw.
The fries remind me of boardwalk fries, so they demanded to be doused in Malt Vinegar.
About the only thing I would prefer to be different, would be if the buns were buttered more. It's a minor thing, but doesn't detract much from the experience.
This will be a regular Friday thing for me.
While there, the other girl working was like "you have a twin in town". And I'm like where. She says "downtown". I ask Champaign or Urbana. She says "Champaign, he hangs out by Memphis on Main". So I respond, "No, that's actually me."
