Thirsty Perch - Iola
Thirsty Perch
Description
A lively, local favorite known for an exceptional beer-battered haddock and generous fish-fry portions, crispy seasoned fries and classic cheese curds. Friendly servers, live music and a danceable, scenic mill-pond setting make it ideal for celebrations, brunches and family gatherings. Occasional highlights include standout cured chicken and attentive event service. Be aware of busy nights: guests report inconsistent kitchen timing, order mix-ups, takeout temperature problems and isolated hygiene concerns, which temper an otherwise spirited, well-loved spot.

I had a great cocktail served by Morgan and enjoyed the food as well. However, I felt bad for the waitresses who were getting yelled at for the long wait for food. The restaurant was busy, and it seems that nowadays, if you want good food, you're often going to wait for up to an hour. I visited on September 1, 2023, and I wasn't impressed by how a group of ladies treated the waitress. People should focus on real issues instead!
The Friday fish fry is incredibly delicious! The prime rib on Saturday is also quite flavorful. The live bands and the garage create an atmosphere that’s hard to find in many small towns. It's a fantastic place to support! Overall, I rate the food 4 out of 5, the service 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere 5 out of 5.
Great food, reasonable price, great servers. Definitely go back again Service: Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
