    A GEM. If you have gotten this far on Yelp, quit analyzing. Just GO. Ignore the few VERY old bad reviews. In summary: this unknowingly retro cool place is and has been in the family forever and produces DELICIOUS home cooked food. BELIEVE THE GOOD REVIEWS OF FRIDAY FISH FRY! And if you are really lucky on Thursday or Saturday, the German food is worth it! It might take awhile because Mom (I think her name is Susie) will cook to order. That might give you time to enjoy a drink at the fantastic Formica bar - a serious nod to design of the era. REALLY.

    The best Friday Fish Fry in Southern Wisconsin since the mid to late 60's. Best Potato Pancakes ever.

    Great fish fry and potato pancakes. But don't leave without trying the German chocolate cake.

    Terrible service and probably the WORST potato pancakes I've ever had! I will never go back as my rule is 3 times you're out!

    This family owned place serves one of the best fish fry's and German dinners (on Saturday) that I have had in a while.

    So I definitely dig Squidy's. I've been a few times when Don was bartending and had a good time…read more Nice crowd and good service. Based on those experiences I'd give it 5 stars. I went again tonight though, arriving at 7:30pm after hiking 15 miles on the Ice Age Trail, plus an extra one to get to the bar. It was empty with a female bartender. I made a joke as I sat down which she didn't even attempt to laugh at. This was a sign. After one drink she told me that she needs to close. She did allow me to chug a second drink while shutting off the lights. I understand they weren't busy but your listed hours are open til 10 and it's not even 8:00. Plus I just told you I walked all the way here. Definitely can understand why this place is empty on Mondays. I'll call ahead to make sure Don is working next time

    We stopped in for lunch on our way home from camping at Kettle Moraine. I ordered the Friday fried…read morefish and fries special. The portions were generous for $10 and I really enjoyed my meal, along with a Spotted Cow and a sour brandy old fashioned. My son ordered appetizer chicken strips and fries. He said they were both delicious. The 4 others in our group ordered burgers and an assortment of apps. The burgers were said to be ok and the fried apps were all good, especially their beer battered onion rings. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The space in the dining room is basic as many bars of this kind are. The bar area was really cool and they have some arcade games for the kids by the bar. Worth a stop in for a drink, lunch, and friendly service!

    First visit. 6pm on a Sunday. Was hoping for better…read more Food was meh. Mozzarella sticks were ok. Ordered two entrees - salmon dinner was fine, but burger tasted off. Service was pleasant enough but s-l-o-w. Restaurant was not busy but there was one large party of about a dozen which seemed to overwhelm the two servers. For the entire time we were there we didn't see any front of house staff (manager, host, bussers) other than two servers. Cleanliness was poor. We were there for over an hour and tables near us were not cleared or cleaned at all. Dirty dishes with leftover food sitting on them for the duration of our meal. Food all over the floor. Not an appetizing atmosphere. All-in-all poor value for the money.

    We ate dinner here last night. We have eaten here before. I will say their bartenders here make…read moreincredibly awesome drinks. The extra star is for our cocktails. I ordered the Chicken Piccata. That is one of my favorite dishes at most Italian restaurants. This looked like boiled chicken breasts, no color at all. The "lemon" sauce was like water and did not taste like lemon at all. More like vinegar. The "grilled"asparagus was sitting in the water and tasted boiled, not grilled. Mashed potatoes were decent, but sitting in a bowl of watery sauce did not help. Do not order this if you are expecting traditional Piccata. The angel hair pasta with "marinara" sauce my husband ordered was very bland, it was more like canned regular tomato sauce stirred into pasta...no joke. We wonder if there is a different owner, and cook. The nice young man who was our server was very good. We will not be back, and that is sad aswe liked it before.
