Nice dive bar. Great fish!! Will be back! Good place to hang out and have a beer or a few.
If you like Fried Fish...I recommend the Fish Dinner (served on Fridays)...the fish, I believe is cod and very flaky...the Corn Meal crust is to 'die for'....because it is crunchy and flavorful. It is not soggy like some places I visit...and the recipe? a 75-year old (family secret) recipe.
Had chicken bacon ranch sandwich and fries was very good and the beer was cold was a busy night pool league get there early if you want some great wings
