Went to Friday night fish fry. The half hour wait for a table was to be expected, but the 1.5 hour wait to get our first order of fish was ridiculous. Wasted an entire Friday night waiting for fish. We gave it a try, but we won't be back.

Outstanding Friday night special: fish fry, all you can eat. Filets were huge, longer than the plate (!), lightly battered, perfectly fried. [We'll be back for this!] Choice of sides, I took the cole slaw -- nicely dressed and perfectly seasoned with a light touch of sweetness and tang. My hubby took the potatoes au gratin (served in a small metal bowl), good crispy top, creamy sauce.SALAD BAR: serve-yourself, very ordinary ingredients like iceberg lettuce (crispy & sweet), shredded cheddar cheese, bright green (thawed?) peas, black olive slices, coarse-chopped onion, green peppers, baby carrots, several dressings, croutons, sunflower seeds, fake bacon bits, pickled beet slices, potato salad, pasta salad.WAIT STAFF: Excellent, the right amount of friendly attentiveness.DRINKS: white Zinfandel listed on the menu but didn't have it, got Moscato instead; companions ordered various of the tap & bottled beers.NOTE: pretty, secluded location, near the Zumbro River, which can be seen as you drive in. Inside, well, you don't eat here for the atmosphere; it's not fancy: brown carpet, white walls, Formica-top tables--but it's clean and neat.ACCESSIBILITY: Tight squeeze for my hubby in his wheelchair getting past bar patrons to the more spacious dining room in back. Parking lot is gravel & handicapped parking spot is not well marked--but we managed, thanks to being on the outside end & next to our friends' truck.Wheelchair accessibility: See review

Went to have the fish fry and it was worth going. The fish was flaky and the portions were huge. Tasted amazing. My fiancee had the broiled fish... not all you can eat and a dollar more but the portion was great too. The staff was super friendly as well.

Food was very good and I love the salad bar that accompanied most all dishes. We had to wait to get drinks and our checks as our waitress was quite busy but she was very friendly and otherwise did a very good job, and we weren't in a hurry so it wasn't a bother. Overall it was a wonderful time and will definitely go back!

Went there with my Son and Daughter after tubeing. Owner was rude to my grandkids because rhey were spinning his wheel. Grabbed off the table mumbled he payed $400 for it. Food was not that great, bill was high! Waitress was very pleasant.
