Milford Hills

 

Friday night fish fry = officially checked off!

We were invited out to Milford Hills, our Premier Fish Fry Guide Sponsor, and it was such a cozy, delicious night out. Think warm lodge vibes, great service, and a table full of comfort food done right. 

The pheasant fingers were a must-try (trust us on this one), the lake perch was a hit, and yes… we absolutely saved room for dessert: worth it.

Bonus moment: spotting their “Best Fish Fry” win from our Lake Country Family Fun community right on the table tent menu. You love them and we do, too!

If you’re planning your next Friday fish fry, this one deserves a spot on your list.

6 thoughts on “Things to do in Lake Country this Weekend”

  1. Thanks for sharing! I have off this Friday and wanted to do something fun with my kids. I think we’ll check out the Food Trucks and then the drive-in concrete at night with my husband. I’ve seen a lot of friends going to drive-in concerts and I’ve wanted to go to one too, so this works out perfectly. Thanks again!

  2. I have heard about the Brookfields Farmers Market but never made it out. I think my kids would love it! I remember my first bartering lessons were at the swap meet!

  3. Thank you so much for the sledding hill guide and map! I’m afraid the kids have been getting incredibly restless lately now that the holidays are over and along with the pandemic. Could use some good sledding time to get it out of their system!
