Drive thru fish fry every Friday in lent from 3-7pm. I arrived at 3:45. It was about a 15 minute wait to get fish at that time. I have heard that the wait can get much longer at peak times. Everyone was super friendly from the guy directing cars to the girl collecting money and the ladies delivering your dinners. No need to pre order! Just join the line! Cost is $11 and they appreciate it if you have exact change. Usually I wait until the end of the review to give my overall rating... but this one is a take out 10! It was packaged perfectly, all cold items separate from the hot fish and fries. Keeping things crispy for the ride home. An absolute must in the take out world. Also included was a nice slice of rye bread and butter. Fish was a beer battered skinless cod. Very flavorful and light, crisp and not greasy! (10)Tartar was tasty with a heavy pickle finish. French fries were standard batter. Yet sometimes a simple fry is all that you need. Not unique or special but a perfect crispy side kick to their perfect fish. (10) Let’s talk sides! I preach about it all year long... you have to have the holy trinity to make me happy. They. Nailed. It. A small serving of each. And each one was obviously homemade. Mac Salad was elbow mac with celery, onion, and a hint of egg.(10) Potato salad was fantastic, potatoes were on point with a slight onion back end. (10) Cole slaw was also great with a tangy sauce, just the right amount too, I might add. This is the only place that could use slight improvement. It’s taste was fantastic but it needs some color. Maybe an addition of some carrots or purple cabbage on the next go round? I still give it a 9. There may be a wait, but it’s worth it! With the $11 price tag it quite possibly might be the best drive thru option around. Haven’t been? Get in your car and join the line! We know they throw a heck of a party for Dyngus Day, now you can add fish fry masters to their claim to fame. This gal is IMPRESSED!
