We are proud to have so many wonderful options for a Friday Fish Friday so close to home. Whether you like your fish baked or fried, or you prefer your potatoes baked, mashed or pancakes, we’ve got a great guide for you!

“The restaurant was great about taking reservations and giving us a table with lots of room. Everyone at the table had some kind of fish fry for dinner and we shared alligator. The fish and the sauces were really good. Our waitress was really good. We will be going back – it is a new favorite!” – Val
