I've been here 3 times and each time was as good as the last. It doesn't look much from the outside. but it's easy to find and easy to parkwhich is great. When you go inside you get a feel that is a classic bar that could be straight out of a movie. Great friendlyand lively atmosphere with loads of local sports memorabilia. The staff are great and despite being busy always seem to welcomepeople in. the fish fry run's from 2 and I'd recommend going early as it fills up fast and by all accounts sell's out everyweek. The fish fry itself is different to (and better) than anything ive had before, the batter is super light and closer to avery fine crumb. The fish is always cooked perfectly. Light, crispy, juicy and not oily or heavy at all. The portion sizes aregreat. The only problem I had is choosing what to have. Our family got one of each and shared, I wish there was a platter to tryit all! I really liked the bluegill and the lake perch as they are smaller fillets, but each to their own! Toilets are olderbut clean and roomy. You get a discount for using cash rather than card so that is worth doing. Sat at the bar the othercustomers have also always been warm and welcoming. There is a good range of beers as well. I'll make an effort to go backregularly, this really is a hidden gem.
