Fish & Chips Restaurants near Rothschild, WI

“My wife and I like to look for local gems whenever we travel and this place looked good. Boy was it! The food was incredible! I got the brew burger, smothered fries, and a huge pretzel with beer cheese dip. I washed it down with a Kentucky Vanilla barrel Ale and it was perfect. My wife got a pulled pork sandwich with fries and washed it down with a mango White claw. Both of us were very pleased. The atmosphere is just your average home town tavern and was just the kind of thing we look for. Everything was very clean as well. If we make it this way again we'd be delighted to stop in again.“

“We were on our way through town on a Friday, so a Wisconsin Fish Fry is always a great choice. Finding a local venue with fish specials on Friday isn’t difficult in central Wisconsin, and we were in luck when we found Whiskey River.We stopped around noon and it wasn’t busy. Seems more like a dinner restaurant option. The lady at the bar, Peggy, was also our waitress and no doubt a hard worker.We ordered the pan fried walleye and the breaded cod - not the beer bartered. The breaded was probably a lighter batter but was still a batter. We thought it would be more of a crust type coating. It wasn’t but it also wasn’t a disappointment. It was very good. It almost had a fresh water taste.The walleye was a good size but it was a little fishy tasting. We know that can be hit or miss sometimes and not the restaurants fault. It was seasoned and coated well.German potato salad was tart and could have been cooked a little more. The potatoes were a little hard so not quite done. But again, it was early in the day and would prob use a little more cooking to be the way we’d like it.The rye bread was really fresh and soft. Tasted great. Also served with Cole slaw. I didn’t have any but my husband didn’t really care for the flavor.The table had a large container of tartar sauce which is always a nice gesture. There were other condiments as well.Peggy left a pitcher of water on the table which made drinking as much as we wanted easy. Thanks for that!!We’d stop again. Prices were very reasonable for the portion. Nice, hometown local vibe.“
