This is a fish fry review.
Someone said the fish fry was decent at Cahoots so I figured I would stop in on a Friday and check it out as I'm on the hunt for the best one in the area.
I'm a dive bar kind of guy, so initial entry didn't put me off. Service was quick as I sat at the bar, but being I'm in something of a dive, I'm not expecting politeness. I just ordered, had a beer and waited. The food came quickly, but it just wasn't very good.
I had battered cod with a double baked (?) potato, a dinner roll and coleslaw. The fish was overdone and on the chewy side, a common problem on a busy Friday night in Wisconsin. The potato was nothing to write home about; fair at best but nothing I would order again. The slaw was good enough and the roll just fine.
The best way to describe the fish fry here would be exactly what Yelp! gives for a two-star review: "Meh. I've experienced better." This fish fry isn't anything to write home about, but as a bar it's just fine.
