Fish fry. My girl had perch which she said was delicious and onion rings. I had pan fried walleye which unfortunately was way too salty. Great coleslaw

Highly recommend! Wish I remembered our server's name, but he was fantastic. And the food was really good. The blackened grouper and the mushroom rice soup was very good and the rye bread was exceptionally good. …

We didn't eat there, so I didn't rate that. We did have a great time though, and even if you don't like the food you won't regret it.
