The fish meal included a salad bar and fries. I rarely see a salad bar offered ANYWHERE anymore; it wasn't much, but it was good. The fish and fries were decent... you have the option on walleye, cod, or a mix. The initial serving is 4 pieces of fish. I opted to do the mix (2 of each). Definitely liked the walleye best. The cod was decent, but also a bit more chewy that the walleye. The fish wasn't quite as flaky as I would have liked, so not sure if it was the quality of the filets or how they were cooked. Nonetheless, the meal was good and reasonably priced for an all-you-can-eat. It was a bit out of the way for us, so not sure I would make the longer trip for the fish, but it was definitely worth the try.

Loved the breading and the slight spice to the honey plus it was very tender and juicy. You get a good amount of food for the price. Oh yes, almost forgot. The best pickle fries I've ever had.

Leap into the Yelp-scape for something close but not a chain. Boom CortiLeno's pops up. 10" Pie for $12? We are all in. Walked in about 6pm Monday night quiet. Great bartender took order of one extra pepperoni sans cheese and one traditional pepperoni and cheese. "I'll be back in 20. Should I pay before I leave? No thats fine." Back 20 mins later a bit more crowded and pizzas ready to go. Ambience of space is not my vibe because I dislike the electronic gaming. Thats a me thing On way out chef/owner/dude.."I killed that one pizza with pepperoni." He did indeed. Happiness all around. Great sauce, amazing crust (soft so if you want crispy give them an alert) perfect amount of cheese and toppings. Great job!

Be prepared to spend a little bit more than what you would at other restaurants in the surrounding areas. Also, know that it is well worth it!

If you were thinking about driving the extra hours to get some fine food in Chicago, save yourself the trip and visit Highlands.

( It would appear they use a fried chicken batter on the fish - GENIUS ! - as I'm not a big fan of beer batter - but do love corn meal or better yet cracker meal) Pair that with the homemade Corn Fritters (again, the best you ever had) and It's a feast you will never forget.

NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY First, let me tell you…read morethat I hadn't been to this establishment since I was a teenager. It was Saturday evening at 5:20pm, and we walked in and should have turned back since there were only 3 cars in the parking lot. We walked into the restaurant with looks of an old rundown, out of date food restaurant. We waited a short time for a table, even though there were probably 12 tables free out of 15. Not many were there, and it was around 5:20pm. One group of about 10 people and another elderly couple were in the dining room. We were seated and given a menu. We asked if the tenderloin was a true tenderloin or a pounded-out poark loin chop. She didn't know, nor did she go back and ask. Even though she said she said she was the one that made them. We placed our order. I received my salad and a slice of bread along with a corn fritter. We opted for an order of their home-made onion rings for an appetizer and the server asked if we would want ranch dressing. We both said, "YES". Believe me, they were nothing to write home about unless it's to let you know, they're not worth the money. The ranch dressing was extremely watery with hardly any flavor. Terribly tough onion rings and the crust was hard. My husband was having problems chewing them. Then came my 14 oz. Ribeye steak with a baked potato, and hubbies' "tenderloin sandwich" and fries. One look at the extremely thin sandwich, we both knew it was a loin chop. It had no flavor and was very dry. The fries that came with it were limp and cold in the middle. He told our server, and she said, "I'll tell her", now remember that comment. I also wanted a side of their raviolis so we could share. Big mistake, big big mistake. Neither one of us could take more than one bite and honestly, we thought they were old and even expired a week ago. Yes, they were that bad. Downright NASTY! Now for my steak. I ordered it rare to medium rare. I cut into it and it was more like medium well done and LOADED with black pepper. So much pepper it was burning my mouth. We let one of the servers know about it and she took it away and soon she brought back a rare - medium rare Ribeye. NO seasoning whatsoever. It had no taste at all and it was our guess that the cook/owner (I haven't a clue which) picked out the fattiest steak she could find. I bet I had cut more than 4 oz of uncooked fat off. It was terrible. Don't get me wrong, I love the fat on a Ribeye but nothing like that steak had. I didn't want to eat any more of it. I did eat my slice of bread and the corn fritter that came with my meal. Those two were the best tasting items of all. I brought my baked potato home and my small piece of Ribeye. Hubby brought his half of the tenderloin home and the uncooked fries. Our air fryer will take care of those cold soggy fries. All I can say is, NEVER AGAIN will we EVER be back. I was so very disappointed. It was nothing I/we expected. We told the server about the NASTY ravioli and her comment, "Nobody else complained about it and I will tell her about it". Like my husband said, no one in the place had it. We assumed she would have taken them off the bill, but NO. I even reminded her that we could not eat the raviolis as our server was ringing up our total. Nothing was taken off. The bill came to over $59 which we were charged $1 for the watery Ranch dressing that the server asked if we would like some for our onion rings. What a waste of good money, let alone our time and gas money to drive there and back home. Our advice for you is to run and don't look back. If I could have given them a big fat zero, I would have but Yelp didn't offer that rating.
