What a great neighborhood dive bar with some great food. Tucked a couple of blocks off of Detroit Road near Gordon Square, is the Parkview, an old school corner bar. Less decorated than lived in for decades, the bar is dark and welcoming.
The menu is relatively straight forward, but there is some serious culinary skills in the kitchen. I ordered the Walleye Sandwich with a side of fries. The sandwich came with two nice pieces of Walleye, perfectly fried with a light batter. The fish was moist and flaky, with a nice mild flavor. The batter is wonderful, thin but crisp. The biggest issue was keeping the sandwich together since there was too much fish for the bun. The fries were also good, fresh and crisp outside with just enough potato flavor.
The Parkview is well worth a visit any time you are looking for some good standard food.
