We were looking for a fish fry in the area... this one kept popping up with good reviews and this…read morelocal bar and grill kept popping up... and Shazam, we're glad we ventured into Tuesday's on a Friday evening. We both had the two piece haddock, one with a baked potato and one with potato pancakes. Fish was great with what seemed to be a cracker and or cornmeal crust... very nice. You don't see home made potato pancakes on a lot of menus, it's a really nice change up. Btw the 2-piece fish fry was $9... there was also a three and four piece option as well as a Blue Gill and a couple of shrimp specials. I also had a small bowl of the house made clam chowder - wowza. The clam chowder often runs out by 5PM or so we were told. You've been warned! Also did I mention, clearly not yet, but the $5 old fashioneds - giant sized. One of the owners, Sue greeted us. She was so friendly, as were the rest of staff. Check out the local joints... when you do you'll find joints like Tuesday's.

I had the basic burger (no cheese) and asked for sauted onions which they accommodated. The burger also came with lettuce and tomato if you desired (and pickle which I would never).

It's definitely a small town bar but the menu was better than typical bar food. I chose the pick your own sandwich of which I chose grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Veggies and bread were nice and fresh. Chicken was delicious, nice and tender. It came with kettle chips. I opted out of the French onion dip but I ate half of Husband's so I should have gotten it. Service was excellent. Lots of beers on tap but I had an IPA in a can from a local brewer. Good stop.

So we headed on in like always-well, the new owner is basically a bar fly! We were the Only Customers and she couldn't even take our order! To busy talking to her teen children who were working/cooking. Finally got our pizza. Had to ask for napkins and paper plates. She told us "oh there usually on the tables " Pizza was pretty good. Then we had to flag the bar fly down Again just to pay!! Skip ahead to March 2026 thought we'd give them another chance. Fish Fry this time. Hmm, fish was definitely Hot but not as tasty as the previous owners served. Came in an old warped plastic basket w/mini portion of coleslaw (not the best), fries or baked potato( was 4pm-told us no baked til after 5) menu states after 3pm. Then server comes back and says, " oh I didn't know we had baked potatoes now, thought not til 5) Maybe server should know what the heck they are serving! Also, special was shrimp (which server said they were out of) glad I didn't want any. Also, heard the cook saying, "we only have 1 bag of fish left"!! WOW on a Friday night in Wisconsin during LENT!! Of course the Bar fly female owner was there playing slot video games and cackling! She informed the server that the woman's bathroom needed TP! That there was barely enough for her to use. Which tells me she used the last of it and couldn't be bothered to replace it!!! Lazy Boozy Bitch!! My adult children and inlaws tried dinner mud summer 2025- half the menu wasn't available!! They claimed the supply truck hadn't arrived yet. Needless to say they won't waste there time going again. And I would have to say the same. I have recommended this place to many people. Now I have regrets. I will now let them know NOT to waste their time & money.

The cook came to me and told me about the AYCE chicken wings. I told him that sounded amazing and he brought me a plate of wings. When he sat it down, the bartender literally yelled at him and told him "that's not how we do it around here". I felt bad for the cook, as he had seen me sitting there for quite a while with no greeting or service. I wish I had gotten his name - he saved the day for me! The wings were on the small side, but very tasty. It was odd - they served them naked, but provided the different sauces in a squeeze bottle on the side. I am not sure if I would go back, based on the biased service and the inappropriateness of the bartender

The menu is simple, the burgers are unique, and the history is part of the experience. The onion-poached burgers are juicy, packed with flavor, and somehow the simplicity is what makes them so memorable. The sweet, soft bun and perfectly cooked onions just work. You may have to wait in line, but that's part of the charm of a place that's been doing things the same way for over a century. If you're expecting fries, cheese, or endless customization, this probably isn't your place. But if you appreciate local legends, nostalgic roadside food, and burgers with a story, Pete's absolutely delivers. I've been going here since I was a kid. It was my grandfathers fave.
