(2 out of 4 fishes)
No signs leading to entrance and only one menu sign. But ordering was simple, you pay then you tell the serving line what you want. Line moved a little slow with limited space in the cafeteria serving window to be more efficient. Styrofoam plates and cups, although condiments were in bulk and you could pour ketchup directly on your plate. Visible recycling next to where they served cans of soda was a nice touch.
Food
Cod was not their strength. Pre-breaded and I had to use the tartar sauce. Other choices included fried shrimp, jack salmon, and chees tortellini. Sides included french fries, green beans, cole slaw, and mac and cheese. Kids meals included grilled cheese, half cod dinner, and mac and cheese. Selection of desserts was limited, at least when we went back up for ours.
Value
Good value. Approximately $28 for our family of five. $8.25 for fried cod dinner, $9 for fried shrimp dinner. Dinners include dessert and drink (tea, lemonade, or coffee). Kids dinners were $4. Soda was available. No beer, but not sure if this was because of Good Friday.
Atmosphere
Good buzz of conversation and nicely crowded. Cafeteria had some limitations with relatively low ceiling and in the basement. However, with with the storms in the area, it was nice to be in the basement. Cafeteria tables had those built-in round stools, which I'm never a fan. Friendly volunteers. Plates and trays were quickly cleared from the table.
Overall
2.5 out of 4. A good solid, south City fish fry. I was disappointed with the Cod, but the other choices looked good. My wife's fried shrimp was tasty and the kids enjoyed their grilled cheese. Friendly and smiling staff and volunteers made an enjoyable end to the 2011 fish fry season.
