in the last weekUpdate June 1 2026: Everything was perfect. The fish and chips had just the right amount of batter and were served hot. The cole slaw was creamy. The service was top notch. This was lunch rush hour so a little wait for fresh food should be expected. Earlier visit several months ago: For this visit it was a little disappointing but I know there is an off day for everything and I have had great experiences in the past. Some of it could be that I ordered fish and chips during the lunch window and it was not ready so we had to wait a good 45 minutes for the fish that had batter so thick it wasn't cooked all the way to the fish. I just pulled it off and ate the fish that was so fresh tasting and good. Update in June 2025 our fish and chips were great. We have the fried mushrooms for an appetizer just about always. The mushrooms are on point! The burger I tasted was really good.
