It appeared that the soup offering changed each day, during our visit it was a very thick clam chowder. A variety of salad dressings included one I had never heard of, bacon dressing. It was in a similar container to the soup and looked like pickled cabbage but it was actually sweet. We had a great table that over looked the river.

This places caters to the local community with its walls filled with artwork you can buy. And the old school tables and chairs from the 60s or 70s this place knows its way into any mans heart is through their stomach. Our wait time was told to be 20 minutes but we were the next to be sat down. Even though it was busy they still got to us and got our food out to us faster than other places I have been to. If you're looking for some good food and great atmosphere try this place out it might just give you a glimpse of what it was like growing up in the 60s. Great job all of you at Little fat Gretchens every time we go there they have shown us all whats its like it eat at the best

My wife and I went to the Black Otter for our anniversary. It was our first time there. When we…read morearrived we checked in and were given a number. We sat at the bar and ordered our first drink as we waited for our table. Before we were seated, our order was taken. I had the queen prime rib, my wife had the seafood platter. After a short wait, we were seated at our table and were invited to the salad bar. Unlike other supper clubs, there are servers at the salad bar and they give you whatever you like and as much as you like. I was served by a very young looking server, he was no more than 14 years old, but was courteous and trained well. After we sat back down at the table, our appetizer as well as the bread arrived. The cheese curds were excellent. Vey tasty. The salad bar was also very tasty and the vegetables were crisp and the soup was fantastic. Our meal arrived shortly after, by this time, my wife and I were staring at each other wondering if we had left any room for our meal...we did...slightly. The prime rib was phenomenal. Medium rare. Seasoned well. Very good. The seafood platter, was generous. Lots of fish. Perch, bluegill, walleye, haddock, shrimp, scallops, all very well prepared and my wife enjoyed the sampling of seafood. The prices were as expected. After drinks, appetizers and our meal, we left and paid for the meal and it was all around $100 or so. A good place for special occasions and if you are super hungry. We will be back.

My husband and I are on a mission this summer, searching for the best Friday Fish Fry near us…read more After 10 Friday meals, Cattails is leading the way. The place is newer and very comfortable with a great bar, if you need to wait a bit for your table. We waited only 10 minutes and we did not mind. At all. A cut WAY above the rest are the Classic Old Fashioneds, served the way they should be -- heavy on your choice of bourbon and very light on the soda. (Definitely NOT Wisconsin Style.) I had a smoked Old Fashioned that was one of the best I've ever had! But the meal got better! A salad bar is not a requirement for a fish fry, but it sure goes a long way. Fresh, tasty, and a great way to start the meal. We both ordered the perch. I had a baked potato side and he had the fries. Best perch we've had -- light on breading, hot and not oily at all. Service was excellent and we decided to have a second Old Fashioned back in the bar for dessert. We'll be back!

Also they make great muddled old fashions and if you want something different try a smoked old fashion. You go to Cattails once I know your going go back.

Somebody did order a beef sandwich while we were there had it looked fine, but I think they have a couple crockpots going with the meat and put on a hoagie type bun. Just not our type of place.

The prices were reasonable and even a picky eater will find something to their liking. My dining partner had a cheeseburger and the sour cream & onion French fries. They were happy with their choice.
