We had our wedding at Fishermen's Inn on Friday, July 3rd, 2026. Overall, we had a beautiful…read morewedding and many wonderful experiences with the venue, but there were also several major disappointments that we feel are important for future couples to know about. From the very beginning of our planning process, Erin, our day-of coordinator, was wonderful. She was personable, honest, extremely helpful, and always willing to answer our questions. She made the planning process feel seamless and did a great job taking stress off of me as the bride. We truly appreciated having her throughout the planning process. It is important for future couples to know that we were responsible for setting up everything the morning of our wedding. We were not permitted to set up anything the day before, so our family and wedding party had to handle all of the setup on the morning of the wedding. This was a significant amount of work to take on before the wedding even began, but thankfully our family and friends were amazing and made it happen. Our wedding was in the middle of a Midwest summer, and the day before the wedding, we made the decision to move our ceremony indoors because of an extreme heat advisory. Erin and her team handled that change very well and made the transition as stress-free as possible for us. Our ceremony was beautiful, the dinner was delicious, and we were very happy with how the food accommodated our guests' various allergies. Unfortunately, the biggest issues occurred because of severe weather and the power outages that followed. We were not made aware that Fishermen's Inn had experienced a power outage the night before our wedding after lightning struck. As a result, the chandelier in the dining room and the lighting in the overflow seating area were not working at all. This left some of our guests eating dinner in very dim lighting. We understand that lightning and storms are completely outside of the venue's control, but we do feel that we should have been informed about the issue before the wedding so that we could have discussed possible solutions or made alternative arrangements for those tables. Later in the evening, after our first dances, the power went out again. This created much more significant issues. The bathrooms immediately became a major concern because there was no running water and the toilets could not flush, yet our guests were not immediately informed and continued using the facilities. This became a serious sanitation concern for our guests and was one of the most disappointing aspects of the evening. We had also paid for an upgraded beverage package, including two specialty mixed drinks. When the power went out, the fountain drinks and mixers needed for those specialty drinks were no longer available. Eventually, the bartenders were also unable to serve mixed drinks such as Jack and Coke. After a period of time, hard liquor was no longer being served unless it was served on the rocks. Given that we had paid for an upgraded beverage package, this was understandably frustrating. Another major concern was accessibility. Our cousin has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair that weighs over 200 pounds. When the power went out, the elevator stopped working. His wheelchair had to be taken downstairs using a steep, sketchy ramp. Thankfully, the wheelchair made it down without any hiccups, but the situation was extremely stressful and emotional for our cousin and our family. Several of our firefighter guests stepped in to help safely get him and his wheelchair downstairs. Having an accessible backup plan for an emergency like this would have made an enormous difference. Our late-night snack was also affected by the outage and was served cold. By that point, after everything that had happened, we ultimately did not want to eat it. We completely understand that Fishermen's Inn cannot control severe weather or a lightning strike. What was disappointing was the lack of preparation, communication, and backup solutions once the power was lost. A backup generator, a clear emergency plan for the bathrooms, communication with guests about the water and restroom situation, and a better accessibility plan would have made a significant difference. We were also disappointed that we never received any follow-up communication after the wedding. We did not receive an email acknowledging the power outage, checking in to see how we felt about the experience, or even a simple "thank you for choosing Fishermen's Inn." Considering the circumstances of our wedding night, some type of follow-up would have gone a long way. Despite these challenges, we are grateful for the beautiful parts of our wedding day and especially for Erin, who was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was a bright spot in our experience and truly cared about making our wedding day special. We hope Fishermen's Inn takes this feedback seriously and considers putting stronger contingency plans in place!

A three piece (drums, keyboards, guitar) band with a deep playbook. Their style is somewhere between smooth jazz and acoustic vocals - perfect for drinks, tapas, and dessert, which is what we had. Bye the way, the Tiramisu is out of this world. The decor style looks like the place was prepped for a big wedding - very elegant. The main menu is Mediterranean oriented, and some of the beers hail from Lebanon and Turkey. The current owners thankfully restored the wood bar and liquor shelf, which was painted WHITE by the previous owner ('Charleston') - disgusting! p.s. both entrances to the building give you a choice of going to The Wine Exchange, or Eden on the River, in order to facilitate your inner pub crawl self

Every year in the run-up to Easter, the local Turners chapter puts on a weekly fish fry.  What are…read moreTurners?  Members of a German fraternal club that promoted German culture, physical culture, liberal politics, and supported the Union war effort during the American Civil War. Today they seem to be more social and civic-oriented. The chapter near me is in Elgin, IL, a distant western burb of Chicago, just south of Interstate 90, and their Friday night fare offers a choice of Haddock, Catfish, Walleye, Shrimp, or a Grilled Chicken Breast, including sides of slaw, baked potato, fries, rings, or seasoned baby reds. Rolls and butter are also provided as well as generous amounts of tartar sauce, lemon and butter. All entrees are priced between $11-$13, and service is from 5-8PM Fridays at the hall, which is located at 112 Villa Street in Elgin. Parking is in the rear of the building, service is on the second floor. There is a full bar, and their hours are longer than just the dinner service. We opted for the catfish, as it was a whole fish, bone-in, lightly battered, and it's been difficult for us to find bone-in cat lately, most everyone serves filets. American habits, I guess.  Also had the walleye, and exceptionally large filet, nicely breaded, and went with the onion rings for a side, large whites with a tasty thick beer batter. Both fish selections were prepared perfectly. Crispy coatings, flaky, moist flesh. The slaw was creamy but with a little bit of kick to it. Service was fast with an affable professional waitperson who came around just often enough to make sure our drinks were kept full. I had been once before. 2016 apparently, and I wrote about it on this site. At that time, the service was on the lower level, but it's moved upstairs which is roomier and lighter. I'll go several more times before Easter, I guarantee it. While I haven't checked their calendar recently, they also used to serve special dinners on National and German holidays.

The turners have been around for many many years and the food has always been very good. The Club is well known in the area for doing great things for special causes. They are one of the last clubs, unfortunately in the area that was originally formed to help their fellow men and women and enjoy a space where people could relax and talk about their day. A place for people could gather and share stories and good times and figure out what the community needed. It was a place for camaraderie. It's where people open the door for you and are generally concerned about your well-being and making sure you enjoy your stay. There are no cell phones here. People don't use them. They specialize in conversations and fish fries and our fish was excellent. They have haddock walleye and whole catfish. Their Turner potatoes are excellent. It's an old building in need of some remodeling and reviving but it's spotless and the real jewel here is the people that work there and the passion that they have for producing a great product. They have the usual casino games on the first floor and a cocktail bar.The main dining is on the next floor up with an old-time bar and great conversation.
