Full transparency. This is a FIB review. Papa Bears has an excellent Friday night fish fry. All you can eat!!! These are rare where I come from. This place is what FIBs would think of as a typical Wisconsin bar. Although that may be true, it's also worth mentioning the friendly staff, clean bathrooms and amazing food. Try the Boom Boom Shrimp.

Did not live up to expectations. The server was very nice, even with being bartender and waitress. Food was nothing special. Would not go back.

I've fallen for the various "best fish fry" lists, usually crowded places with overcooked fish. Papa Bears wasn't on any list, but it's the best fish fry I've ever had. The fish was cooked perfectly, a potato salad that is best ever, even the cole slaw was outstanding. Papa Bears is a bar; so, don't expect glamour

My wife and I stopped at Papa Bears for dinner with modest- maybe even low expectations. The exterior of the building is nothing fancy and it's possible to drive by without giving it a second look. Similarly, the inside is small and humble. However, what we believed would be a disappointing dining experience ended there.
We were greeted by the owner (Papa Bear) with very warm/friendly conversation and we felt welcome almost immediately. While sipping drinks at the bar, we ordered our food- the Bang Bang Shrimp and Beef Tenderloin tips. Both were absolutely fantastic with the shrimp being off-the-chart tasty. Much to our surprise, the food quality and taste can probably rival almost any restaurant or supper club. This is clearly not just another bar offering the standard "bar food" of a greasy burger and deep fried whatever.
Although the establishment may give the impression of a 'less than memorable' dining experience, the food and service will not disappoint! Needless to say, we will return.

You can't go wrong with their Shrimp or fish on Friday. Lightly breaded, and delicious. Have to say, the owner is hilarious, fun to talk with. Great place with incredible food!
When I place the order for my food they told me it would take 20 to 25 minutes ended up being 50 minutes. It is obvious that they made everybody else's food in the bar and my food was never made. Doesn't take 50 minutes to make poppers and a burger. Not happy with the service
