We have been coming to this place for 20 years and it has gone through a few owners in that time…read more Some have been good some not so much, but it's always been a popular spot right on the water with a great atmosphere, decent drinks, and varying quality of food. Visited for dinner 3x this year and the new owners seem to have focused on the food being better. Gone twice for Friday night fish fry and the quality of the fish has been a pleasant surprise. I distinctly remember last year coming in later in the evening for a fish fry and getting a baked potato that was a dried out relic. Ordered one this year and it was fresh and hot. Little things like that make a big difference. Fish seems to be hand breaded and they also offered a broiled option which comes with delicious garlic butter to dip it in. You can get soup and salad bar and the soup is always good although the salad bar can be a bit picked over if you come in later like we tend to... My dad has ordered the drunken captain chicken twice and raves about it. Even the picky eaters in our family are content going there. We had the same waitress on a couple trips and she is so friendly and attentive you never have an empty drink. I would say my only complaint is the old fashioned. They are so small you take a couple sips and it's empty. Bigger Glasses! Overall it seems like they are intent on moving this place in the right direction. It used to be the top spot in town and hopefully it is again! Lots of things to do...pool tables, video games, and they always seem to have music, trivia, karaoke or something going on. We haven't hung out in the tiki bar yet this year I'll leave that for the next review...

Have to say the fish itself was really good though.

Go for their Friday Fish-Fry Basket!…read more My friend and I arrived around 5:15pm on Friday. Street parking was easy. We were lucky and grabbed the last open table since we were going to order dinner. Our server greeted us promptly, handed us menus and asked for our drink order. I ordered my favorite beer on tap - New Glarus' 'Spotted Cow', opting for their 16 oz. size instead of the 22 oz., and we each ordered their two-piece fish basket with french fries. Our beers were served quickly and we waited, maybe 10 minutes for our fish baskets to arrive. Both the fish and the fries were PIPING HOT! Excellent! Along with the fish and fries, there was a small paper cup of coleslaw that was pretty tasty. The exterior of the ketchup and the tarter sauce condiment bottles on the table were really gross; seems they don't get cleaned much. But the tarter sauce was good with the hunks of perfectly fried fish (which I'll guess was Cod). The fries were the thick slabs of potato and really substantial. The meal was *very* filling. We got our check without any delay (two beers and two 2-piece fish baskets = $35) and left after paying our bill so as to free up the table for someone else.

The two bright spots were the service we got up until we got our food, and the Eggs Benedict. So yeah, everything was going swimmingly, then we got our food and two minutes later the waitress placed our bill on our table and thus our water glasses and coffee cups were no longer replenished. And the Hashbrown Delight . . . it was hard to find any hashbrowns; I had to scrape a majority of the topping off to be able to see/taste any. Paid extra for scrambled eggs--hand to God, I thought they put a folded up crepe on the side of my plate. No scrambles in sight, just a dry sheet of egg. Ugh.

And so, we ended up here and we're immediately seated! Alyssa took our drink orders, Coffee all around, while we studied the menu and the specials board!

Alyssa made sure our coffee was filled. As we were finishing up they wrote the lunch specials on the board and we were tempted to just stay on for lunch. Everything was delicious and large portions at a reasonable price. We even were able to say hi to Mary! Definitely check this place out!
