“It’s more disappointment than anger,” he said.īrynildson said he understands why some people are upset with the shop’s closing.

Do they allow the pieces to drain after cooking? Food was piping hot. Biggest drawback was the fish being rather greasy from the fryer. To me fries are fries in this country, and I don't dwell on them. Two pieces of breaded / fried fish along with fries and a small portion of cole slaw, as well as tartar sauce. (all you can eat, but how much can you put away?) Beer pints 5 to 6 bucks and more. Fish dinner alone is up close to eleven bucks. I remember the days when you could get a pint of any of the Summit beers for a buck along with your fry. Seated fairly quick, considering it was a Friday evening with a fair amount of diners. Decided we wanted fish fry and Groveland Tap was previously one of our favorite spots for that.
