    Walleye Friday Fish Fry $15 - insider tip-best I've had in town! Under the radar :)
    Benjamin P.

    Been on the lookout for a good Wisconsin Friday Fish Fry since moving to town. Another I tried was sub par, so I was eager to get back on the fish horse in the area. I'd driven past the indoor tennis facility many times and noted they had a perch dinner special advertised on their sign. I never knew they had a bar and restaurant that overlook the tennis courts below. Their signage certainly could be better. Though the local spot for those in the know could be exactly what they are going for? Well the place really is called Doug's Take 5, and the man behind it all was who was there when I called in my takeout order around 1:30pm. He was very nice, gregarious, and welcoming. Had it ready in about 12 minutes and was there entertaining 3 other patrons at the bar. Tennis courts were pretty empty. I didn't get the vibe that they do much about COVID, masks, sanitizer, gloves, etc, though who knows, I could be wrong. The fish fry offers a choice of perch, walleye, or shrimp and is served with fries, coleslaw, rye, and tartar sauce. For $15, it was a decent value, seems about the normal price that I've seen thus far in the area. No place offers a differentiation of lunch vs dinner on their fish fry. The food was excellent, I will definitely be back, perhaps even to try some of their other menu items. I chose the walleye, it had a tasty breading and nice firmness. 2 big fillets seemed like the right amount. The fries were pretty good, kinda McDonald's size. Creamy cole slaw had good flavor. The rye bread was toasted and buttered and a real treat. I thought I would run out of tartar sauce with only 1 ramekin given, but it actually was the perfect amount of that tasty sauce.

The bar is wide open and has a few side seating areas for quieter conversation. We ordered our first round and headed out to the "cocoon". The cocoons are mini houses that can be reserved ahead of time. A cool spot to link up to the Bluetooth, chill or even watch a game or show that's on in privacy. There are about 4-5 to pick from. There's a common green turf area that would be dog friendly and good for larger gatherings with fire pits. We had a server check on us and give us great service. We ordered a few apps, hummus, baked feta, pizzas and more. The food was great and they make a decent pear old fashioned. We enjoyed the field study Hazy IPA and the stout was awesome. Great space to chill and enjoy the conversation and have some privacy as well. They have heat/AC in the cocoons to make it comfy too. Great venue and service and the beer was great!

It was too chilly for us to enjoy the patio seating, so we sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and recommended some great options. We all ordered flights, which was a great way to try most of their items. We enjoyed the Brief Opulence (cinnamon roll stout) and the Field study (hazy IPA) the best. Although, the Hiding in the Lime (key lime sour) and Spekto cooler were tasty too. They also have food available and the pizza smelled so good, but we didn't get any this go around. We will definitely be back to try more in the future.

This business makes there own Beer, wine and alcohol products where the diversity of what they make is kind of amazing considering the footprint/size of their facility. Relative to the tastings, these are free of charge where customers are encouraged to tip instead to show their appreciation for what they have been served. Duriing our trip here we tasted numerous spirits to include their house made gin, rum, vodka, Brandy, Bourbon and various flavored moonshines. I thought the liquors with the exception of the Moonshines were just OK but the moonshines were surprisingly quite good. These 60 proof drinks come across like a liquor based on the alcohol by volume content with a similar creamy texture. The flavor profiles are quite unique to anything I have ever tasted before where their flavors include Grandma's Apple Pie, Salted Caramel, Orange Slice and Lemon Drop shine to name just some of them. Every Moonshine bottle we tasted was so tasty where I was really enamored with all of them and at the end of the day ended up buying the Lemon Drop and salted Caramel although it was hard to stop at just these two. Relative to the facility it has a non descript outer view where the inside comes across more of a typical bar venue more so than a winery/distillery which is a bit deceiving in my mind considering how much product they make here. No stacked wine barrels or a sneak peak of the Distillery or Barrel rooms to reinforce what this business is and add the cute ambiance you get at many of the wineries I visit. Relative to Staff, They were exceptionally friendly and good on the repours for our free tasting which definately added a lot to our tasting event. Overall a very pleasant time was had by our group where I see myself returning again in the future and sampling their other ware's and probably buying more moonshine!

It was right on the way home to Milwaukee, we wanted to head out of the city since there was a Packer Game ending shortly after we left. It was a quaint little brewery in a strip mall, nice and clean inside with cool brewery signs covering the walls. Surprisingly the place was empty, which worked nicely for us! We had our pick of tables and got to catch the end of the game too. We had our 2 toddlers with us and the guys working were super sweet to them. They have a small kids menu that did the job (grilled cheese an a burger for the kiddos) - it came with organic chocolate milk, fries and fruit snacks; quite a good value! My husband and I shared the fried chicken sandwich and their spicy burger - their main menu items were gourmet burgers. Personally, I really enjoyed the chicken, it was fried perfectly and had great flavor. Overall it was a super quick and convenient stop with a lot of nice beer options on tap if that's your thing.

We started out with me ordering my standard martini order, which is slightly complicated, and he delivered wonderfully...it just took a few minutes, but apparently he was responsible for tracking down the martini glasses (hint: they are in the refrigerator). At any rate, we got our drinks and ordered our food. When the food came out I took one bite and discovered my Turkey Reuben was a Corned Beef one instead. He took it back to the kitchen and they were correcting the order and he told us we would not be charged for that, which was a nice accomodation. What he meant was we would not be charged for 2-the right one and the wrong one. Hmmm, when we asked about it, he went to the manager and they comped us $5 off the bill. That works fine for me for the short wait. The correct sandwich was heaped full and very tasty. My wife got the Turkey Pita, which was also pretty tasty and chocked full of ooey-gooey delicious Tzatziki sauce, turkey, and other fixins. The building is interesting, as it seems like 2 bar/restaurants that decided to connect to each other. There are 2 full bars (only one in use the night we were there), and two dining areas; one by each bar. Overall, I'd go again. Food was solid and prices very reasonable.

    Get the gumbo! But be aware: It's hot! Nothing too crazy, but it's definitely got a kick to it, and…read moreyou'll be glad that the gumbo comes with little oyster crackers to sprinkle over the gumbo to cut the heat a bit. You'll also want to get the cheese curds, because when in Wisconsin, you get the cheese curds. These curds are crispy yet chewy, and come with ranch dressing. Nicky's specializes in sandwiches, so they have a lot of them on the menu. I got one of their more popular sandwiches -- the Nicky's Thick Cuban. It is indeed thick! Layers of pork and ham, Swiss cheese and pickles. I split it with another person. Half of a Nicky's Thick Cuban plus fries is enough for one person's lunch. That, and a cup of gumbo, and you've got yourself a splendid meal. We visited on a Friday, so one of the people in my party ordered the Fish Fry. I tasted a bite of the crispy fish and it was delicious. The fish fry comes with fries or potato salad, plus a slice of rye bread, butter and slices of raw onion. I didn't know this, but you eat the fish with the bread and butter and onion like a little taco! It's what you do in this part of Wisconsin. Nicky's has a huge bar (two of them, in fact), with every type of drink you can think of. This is a popular restaurant with students at St. Norbert College, as it's right across the street, basically.
