“ Best fish sandwich you'll ever have and I'm just not saying that lightly. Plus they often have live local or regional talent playing in the back room especially on the weekends. The rest of the menu looks divine but, man, how do you not get that fish. Flaky, light breading, melts in your mouth. I'm getting hungry thinking about it now. Plus his whiskey collection is top notch. The owner, Bill, is usually on site as well. You can tell he cares about his product and service. Love this place! I'd give it 6 stars if that was possible. ”
