We heard this place had a great fish fry and we have driven by it numerous times so we finally made plans to go there on a Friday night. We brought my father-in-law and his brother both veterans (anyone can go here so no need to be a vet). The joint was pretty busy, especially the bar on a Friday. The drinks were strong and inexpensive. The bar had a bit more character than the main dining area that was as bright as a classroom. You order your fish and pay at the hostess station and then take a seat (or get a drink). The helpful and friendly volunteers will come around and get your side order. I wish I could say this was the best fish fry we had but at least three of us thought the fish was a bit tough and chewy. Both the fried cod and perch has the same issue. Maybe it is a better place to drink... read more

Friday cod fish fry is not as good as it use to be. Seems like the usual fish has been swapped out.

I may be a little biased but I think this is the best place if you want to feel welcomed and have some great food at a reasonable price. Monday night wings can't be beat at $10 all you can eat. Tuesday of course is taco Tuesday. Wednesday we feature Jennifer Street Market beef burgers. Thursday is Justin's choice and it's always good. Friday of course is our Fish Fry. We have been reviewed by Madisonfishfry.com and madisonfoodie.com too. Free fresh popcorn daily! Free juke box Monday - Friday 11 am until 2 pm. We have a breakfast every Sunday that will knock your socks off. $7 traditional with coffee. $2 tubs of bloody Mary's with a chaser. $3 tall bloody Mary's with a chaser and $3 mimosa. 1st Sunday Blueberry Pancakes 2nd Sunday Breakfast Burritos 3rd Sunday Strawberry French Toast 4th Sunday S.

To go fish fry was easy to order, super quick to pick up, and delicious at a great price. My kids liked to see the machines in the yard, too. Big wins; recommended!! read more

This is exactly what you'd expect expect out of a VFW. Bingo hall-esque ball room with a small bar that serves cheap drinks. The cod was super good and came with cole slaw and house recipe baked beans. Open banquet style seating and an older crowd make this place really casual but lovable for someone looking for that small town vibe. read more

Great burgers, excellent Friday night fish frys, dynamite Sunday breakfasts and a friendly atmosphere. Look for the big airplane outside. You can't go wrong with this place! read more

We really enjoy the Friday Fish-fry here. It is so different from the standard sports bars and other restaurants. Here you find real people with really good food. They offer four or more different options of fish. I enjoy good perch, while my wife like backed cod. The others in our group like the deep-fried cod. The potato options force you into a hard decision: Baked, French Fries or Wedge. The Wedges are a family favorite. We start with a good cold tap beer from the bar and walk out of the place satisfied. The staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable. When we are looking for a place for Friday Fish, this place is on our short list. read more
