Both were barely warmed through once they got to the table. Since they were both on special the prices weren't listed. I wish I asked because I ended up spending $27 for a fish fry which almost doubles the most I have ever spent on one.

Tried them tonight and someone in the kitchen really doesn't no how to make a beer battered fish. I think they floured the fish first then dredged them through extra thick batter. Fish tasted like uncooked flour even though the batter was way too dark and greasy, probably because our last fish fry here. They used to have a reasonably priced and delicious fried fish. Not sure what happened but we have friends who also mentioned that their fish dinner went down hill. It's a shame.

The food is always so delicious, no matter what you get. Get the warm pretzels with the beer cheese, so good.

It's a small place some people stand up at the bar and drink while family's try to sit and eat sometimes everyone bumps into one another. Maybe take out is better than eating in. Not a bad place though, but not for me but that's just my opinion others might like.

I believe they also serve lunch and dinner. This is in the middle of Downtown Alexandria Bay and right on the water. If you need the GF bread make sure to call and confirm they have it in stock before you come. I did make the call before coming and was glad I did. I ordered French toast and it came out on what looked like burger buns. It was still very good and tasty. I appreciated their ability to adapt but found it interesting they didn't mention this. My uncle sat at another table, at the same time, and asked for GF toast and was told there was no GF bread left. Just mentioning this because you might want to question all of this on the phone before you come if this would bother you. I had the GF French toast with Nutella drizzle and a side of bacon. It was tasty and a healthy portion. The Nutella was a nice touch. The bacon was a little thin for my liking, could have been a little crispier but there was a good amount for a side. My significant other agrees with my comment about the bacon. But he said the toast was very good and the deep fried home fries were pretty good. Overall a standard breakfasts Prices were reasonable and service was great. A good option for a quick breakfast if you are in the area. And many seats offer great views of the water.
