    Busy the Friday night we were there so we sat outside on patio. We ordered the fish and the pieces were huge! The waitress tried to warn us but I misinterpreted her thinking they would be long and skinny. They were long and wide. Two pieces equal a whole cod fish. The heaters were out of propane and it was starting to get chilly as we left.

    We had the Friday night fish and it was excellent. Unfortunately the baked potato was cold but the excellent fish made up for it. Was a little disappointed in the hostess saying that they had a table of 15 that only one person was there. So we are placed in a room to wait. We waited for over 45 minutes and finally went out and probably got a table. Overall, I would definitely eat here again!

    The waitress was exceptional, I believe her name was Sandy. Great personality and on the spot when we needed anything. Food was delicious, drinks were great. All in all great experience and I will go back again soon

    Fast Friendly service, great drinks, awesome burgers. The cheese curds could have been cooked a little longer but were still good. The wings were lacking in flavor but were cooked well and dressed well with the parmesan. Rock solid effort was put into this food so I'll definitely be back to try some other things on the menu perhaps what I ordered just wasn't too my taste. I really wished they had an appetizer trio, I like to try a little of this and a little of that when I go someplace new.

    Terrible service. Waited 30 minutes for a Diet Coke. Waited almost an hour for are food. Was never asked if I wanted soup or salad with the special. Was charged for items I never received. I had to get up and ask someone else for a refill. Our waiter was absolutely the worst.

    I go here with my parents when I visit, because it’s part of their housing development and they do Taco Tuesday every week. The service is outstanding, always! The food is fine. The people who work there make the experience worth it! They treat my parents well, and that says a lot.

    Stopped in for a quick bite before my appointment nearby. Nice staff, they seemed to know most of the patrons, it was a very small town vibe. Food came out fast and was very good. They have a fish fry on Fridays that looks amazing, my husband and I will be back to check that out.

    We went for the Friday fish fry and, dang, was it GOOD! I ordered two pieces and it was way more than I could eat. Great flavor, nice and crispy, buttery texture. Clam chowder to start was super tasty, thick and creamy with plenty of clams, potatoes and vegetables. Doni gave us great friendly service. I will definitely be back!

    The fish fry was excellent every Friday night the coleslaw was not that great. I like having Amaretto as a cocktail. All they had was the cheap stuff. Not the true Disaronno amaretto. And I know amaretto I can definitely tell the difference

    Myself and 2 others came from CA to visit a friend from high school. She brought us here, saying it's one of her favorite hangouts & good food. We LOVED it! Good food, outstanding service and pleasant atmosphere.

    Great place to eat if you're REALLY hungry. No atmosphere, but great food. The staff are really understaffed, but they work hard. If you go for Friday fish, be prepared for a lengthy wait. But...you'll be rewarded!

  • 5/5 Eva S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent fish fry! First time here and very impressed with the size of the fish fillers. Highly recommend 👌

  • 5/5 David 1 year ago on Google
    Fabulous atmosphere and staff is great. After your meal, you must try the warm, fresh chocolate chip cookie with ice-cream on top. Tuesday is Taco Tuesday... real nice.

    It's got an older family vibe that you get in small fishing towns back east. Not quite the greasy spoon though. Drinks are OK, bartender was nice, but not super chatty. The staff seemed well coordinated, and helped each other with tasks, which was refreshing to see. Overall, not a destination, but for a neighborhood bar, it's OK.

  • 5/5 Greg D. 1 year ago on Google
    If you're looking for comfort food and bar served in a low-key, sports/golf course atmosphere, this is your place. Taco Tuesdays, Fish Fridays are a must but be warned. Snowbirds invade the place making it a zoo at times for those of us here 24/7. Regardless, it's our go-to place for lunches and drinks.

  • 1/5 Pamela O. 1 year ago on Google
    The WORST experience dining in a very long time. We knew they would be busy on a Friday night so we called ahead to ask how long the wait was. We were told an hour but they could put our name on a wait list. We told them we'd be there around 6:00, a little less than an hour after we called and put our name on the wait list. We arrived a little before 6:00, waited over 15 minutes just to Chen in and were told it'd be at least another hour. WTHeck!?!?! What was the point of calling ahead? We caught a table in the bar area but our party had to be split because the table wasn't large enough. A waitress walked by, cleaned our table and said she'd be right back. Well, 20 minutes later, we flagged her down as she walked by. She'd already taken our friends' orders and they received their drinks, soup/salad. We waited another half hour+ for our food. No check-in from the waitress, no refills on drinks, nothing. After we finished eating and ready to get our check, we got a text our table was ready. 🙄 Will NEVER go back. Terribly mismanaged. Terrible communication. Not the best food, either.

    Won't let us reserve, won't put us on a telephoned wait list, we waited 90 minutes for a table, but then waited 90 minutes MORE ,after placing our orders for fish on fish night . Great food . But not worth the 3 hour wait(s).

  • 4/5 Jeff K. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife at there. She said it was amazing. She had the fish fry with my son. I tried the leftovers as the portions were large and delicious. We plan on coming back soon, she said compared to all the other places we've had a fish fry in the valley this was the best.

  • 5/5 Brad T. 1 year ago on Google
    The Ruben was perfect. Fries were super hot. Beer was ice cold. 5 stars.

  • 4/5 Ellen M. 1 year ago on Google
    We spontaneously stopped and ordered take out as we had our tiny dog with us. We waited on the patio, very hot. The hamburger and fries were tasty, we would go there again without our dog.

  • 5/5 TISH M. 1 year ago on Google
    We came to check out this place for Friday fish fry for our group of friends. Found the waiter friendly, the tacos and salsa delicious and the portions generous. Carol (the owner) stopped by to check on us . We will be back!

  • 5/5 Stephen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely a true hidden Gem, this quaint little restaurant hidden in a neighborhood right by the golf course has stolen our hearts and our tastebuds. We can't wait to come back and try all the goodies in their menu, but if we must confess, their friday night fish fry is absolutely worth the visit. Some of the best fried fish and fries I've had west of the Mississippi, but don't take my word for it, stop on in and give it a try, you won't be disappointed. And along with the great service from the staff you will definitely be making plans to bring your friends here to try it out for themselves.

    Food was not great. Chicken sandwich was super dry. The French dip was also very dry. French fries were the best part of the meal. Prices were hight for thr quality of food. Service was very slow (wasn't busy either) but the waiter was very nice. Maybe they were having n off day. Would go back and maybe try something else. Looks like beers are pretty cheap so definitely go back for a beer.

  • 3/5 Camille G. 1 year ago on Google
    It was just an average dining experience and food. The appetizers (pretzel bites and cheese curds) were great, but took a while to get to the table. Our actual meal was not as good. I had the boneless wings and my cousin had the French dip; both were just OK. My sister had a burger and she enjoyed it. Our server was also just average; however, the bus boy had a great personality and was a joy to converse with.
