    Been here a few times for the Friday Fish Fry and it's really good.  You can choose from a couple different fish and have it baked or fried. I always get the fried cod.  Theyre nice big pieces of flaky fish.

    They have a cajun potato salad as one of the sides you can get. Its pretty good too.

    Seems like a lot of locals hang out here and most waitresses know everyone.

    Overall a good place for great food at a reasonable price.

    They have good food, but, if you have a large group, forget it!  We even called ahead as requested and were still sitting here over an hour later waiting.  Never again, never.  

    Signed, pissed and hungry!

    My husband and I wanted to try something new, so we decided to drive to Genoa. We ordered the fish fry and it was amazing! This place has the best fish fry I've ever tasted! The owner is very nice and we enjoyed talking to him. Glad this place is only 10 minutes away from our house. Great new decor...loved the bar ;-)

    Went on Friday for fish fry. Oh, man! Was it good !!!!! Yes that was 5 exclamation pts. I also had a nice beer on tap, and we tried a dark porter as well; maybe it was a stout. That was really good as well. I am really beginning to like the dark stuff as well as the ales.  A NEW HOBBY. The service was great too. I'll be back, baby! The counter ht tables and chairs were comfy. Get there early~~~ the crowd knows about this place.

    New interior/exterior, thought we would give it a shot. Fish fry Friday!
    How can you go wrong ?
    Churn the deep fried fish and fries out & make everyone happy.....not so much.
    Slow service, mediocre fish, slow service & slow service.
