    The service was great here. The fish was good but it was really greasy, but we loved the Cole slaw. Would have enjoyed it more if they had a liquor license. The decor and restaurant were clean and we had everything we needed at the table.

    It's in a convenient location with plenty of seating. The waitress was friendly. However, the salad was a letdown and the bread was just okay. The fish was tasty, but it came out cold. I was looking forward to a Miller Lite, but it wasn't available on tap. The ranch dressing was a disappointment and didn't taste or taste like ranch. On the bright side, the clam trips were great.

    Their awesome big ass cheeseburger n fries. BEST BURGER IN TOWN !! Thanks chef !!!

    Husband wanted fish. This is our "go to" for fish. I was hungry for a burger. They gave both of the best imo.. There burgers are cooked to perfection. Still juicy and full of flavor. Just some cheese , onion n mayo. Delicious. Their cook knows how to make the best burger vI ever had. Oh and can't forget those crispy yummy fries. That being said both were better then the nasty crap I got at Burger-Fi at Jefferson Point on Monday. And cheaper too. You want great fish and the best 1/2 pounder burger go to Big Eyed Fish on Wells Street. Great cook and wait staff. Kind and friendly. Will always go there.

    MASSIVE margarita!

    Haven't even left the restaurant yet, but HAD to leave a review right now because i am astonished with how wonderful this place is. The food was an AMAZING price, for a great quantity! Tasted delicious, and was cooked to perfection. Far better quality than any of your normal chain restaurants. Our server was attentive, proficient at her job, and super kind. Will look forward to coming back in the future!

    My husband got the AYCE fish. Great deal! Those fries were soooo good!

    My husband and I have date night every Sunday. We decided to go here on a whim this past Sunday. We have had the Big Eyed Fish Express and were not impressed at all. This one, completely different!! Everything was really really good!! My husband got the AYCE fish. I think he reordered 5 times and they came out pretty quick! I got the fish and shrimp dinner. It was great! The hush puppies and fries were fantastic!!! That coleslaw.... VERY good!! And bonus... PULL TABS!! We will definitely be back! Oh, our server was great too!! Overall 8.7/10

    Best Buffalo Wings around. Hot, crispy, and spicy.
    Kim M.

    I'm going to step out on a limb here. They make better wings than the wing spots. Make it make sense. I've visited 3x in the last 30days. Each time I was presented a hot, crispy( I asked for crispy wings - I detest limp wings), flavorful wings. I've not been disappointed at all. I surprises me the fish joint does wings so well. That's all I order, lately. The cost is very effective. 12 wings for about 9.99 pre tax.

    How is the clam chowder? Since Fish of Stroh left, we haven't found a place with decent clam chowder. It's mostly potato soup.

    Amazing!

We started out with the pickle, Spears and the buffalo chicken dip. Everybody was pleased. My daughter or the wings, barbecue and mild. Very good. A lot of meat on the bone.

My personal favorites are the cauliflower wings with fries, which have the same flavor and crispiness as buffalo wings, and the farmer's pizza. The prices are very reasonable, the restaurant is always clean, and the service is fast. This has become one of my favorite spots.

What I really admitted about this place is the owner walking around communicating with everyone and checking to see if everything was going ok!! She was really sweet. Also shoutout to our server Noah who was awesome and funny. Not only was he gents or he also recommended! For it to be a carpeted space, it was very clean on the inside and smelled really fresh. The smell of food hit me before I even got inside. The seats were comfortable and they even had bar searing as well as an event space room. The food really deserves its own review but I can't leave two . Everything I would get again no questions asked! My only suggestion would be maybe add a tad of seasoning to the wings but the smoke flavor and sauce was too tier! Easy 10/10 for me!

From the ambience to the friendly staff with the sense of camaraderie among them, it was wonderful. On to the menu and the food - great variety! My husband very much appreciated the variety of choices to put on his Chicago burger. He chose pimento cheese, roasted red peppers and the LTP (lettuce, tomato and House-made bread and butter pickles). It was served on a toasted Chicago onion roll. We started with the Tots Deluxe. Creative crunchy scrumptious variety of ingredients, that went so well together. The bread that was brought out was amazing - hot, crunchy crust with just the right amount of seasoning and soft on the inside - even the whipped butter that came with it was delicious! On to medicinal - purely for assistance with my anemia, I ordered the Porterhouse steak, medium rare. It was tender, flavorful, melt-in-my - mouth! It was a so good, it didn't even need the melted herb butter that was served on top. We shared sides - I chose the German Potatoes - also a creative variety of flavors - brown sugar, vinegarbacon, light onion and crisp potatoes - It was a little sweet for my husband's taste; I very much enjoyed it! Our second shared side was asparagus with Hollandaise sauce - the asparagus was cooked just right, and the Hollandaise was one of the best he had ever had. The portions were generous - seeing the number of containers we were taking home, a departing diner asked, with a smile, "Did you guys eat ANYTHING?" Everything but dessert - next time!

We finally got a chance to go (May 26, 2026) and as usual the service was fantastic. The food however was disappointing. I usually get the Philly Steak sandwich with the Au Jus so that's what I ordered. When they brought it out my first thought was "Where is the rest of the sandwich?" The bun was much smaller than normal and there was very little steak, peppers and onions. Normally I could make two meals out of this entree but this was hardly one meal. I was ready to pay more due to all costs rising but I expected a much better meal than what I received. The flavor was also disappointing, both the sandwich and the Au Jus didn't have much flavor at all. I guess we will have to find a new favorite restaurant...
