Lent may be over but I’m still out trying fish frys!! What a great quirky place! We made reservations which is a plus. They are known for their wings, but this gal had to give their fish a go! Beer battered skinless haddock was perfection. Crispy coating, flavorful fish! It’s a 10! Fries were standard no skin that were crisp and good 8. Baked potato was good too 8.5. Coleslaw was good but obviously came from a bucket... 7. Here’s where I was disappointed. No Mac salad, no potato salad... I’m so depressed. The fish is so freaking good but they drop the ball on the side selection! If they get someone in there that can make homemade Mac, potato and slaw they would be in contention for pinnacle status. Our server was fantastic (I think her name was Lauren but I had a few beers...) and kept our party of 9 very happy! I tried the wings too which lived up to the hype. Beer selection was good, with options for everyone. Parking is on the street and can be tricky. Great place with a lot of character. I would go back without hesitation. Overall rating an 8.
