“The best fish fry I have ever had! The walleye was delicious. It’s our new favorite Friday destination. Excellent service“

“Went for the Friday fish fry with the family. As most places it was busy around dinner time on a Friday (30 minute wait). A young lady pointed us over to the hostess table which is on the opposite wall of the entrance. Once seated server was there almost instantly. Drink and appetizer order was taken immediately. Wisconsin cheese curds were light and stringy, our boys loved them. Chicken wings were good, crispy where sauce wasn’t applied, think I might actually like them better this way. Grilled shrimp was ordered by a few of the family and they were large compared to most other places. Red potatoes were soft and well seasoned. Baked Cod fish fry was great, potato pancakes were also softer and not greasy. Will be returning again.“

“First time here and we will be back. Great food with great flavors.“

“Food was incredible! Our server Claire was FANTASTIC! 10/10 recommend for a top tier dinner experience!“

“First visit back in 40 years and still has the same atmosphere as back then. Diverse menu options, lunch specials, friendly service, good food. Glad we decided to revisit after a long absence. one caution: CASH ONLY. That was a surprise when we went to pay as there was no mention of it anywhere ..not on the menu, not by the cashier. Lucky I had enough cash to cover the bill as often it’s credit card only for this patron.“

“Went to Cotton Exchange for their Bunch on Sunday. It was great. They even had prime rib sliced along with the regular breakfast sides. The eggs are made individually for you how you want them done. They had salad, desserts, spaghetti, beef and noodles, chicken and many other dishes. It was very reasonable priced. Party of 6 with 2 children and bill was only $107.
It was so good my husband and I went there to celebrate our anniversary 2 weeks later after looking at pricing for steaks at closer establishments. We made the right decision. I had Steak Oscar and my husband had a 10 oz Filet. It came with salad or soup, vegetables, rolls and baked potatoes. It was awesome. They only purchase the top beef from approved sources. Steaks were under $40. It my favorite restaurant and atmosphere is country with great wood design for warm and cozy feelings.“

“Great Food. I’ve been there 10 times. The pizza is homemade and top 10. The fish fry was excellent. Cod -perch-walleye. Greatness“

“I got a chance to try Coach’s Reuben sandwich and the quesadilla with chicken. Reubens are one of my favorite sandwiches to order, so I can be a little picky about them. This one did not disappoint! The corned beef was the good stuff, shredded, no fatty bits mixed in, and it was really tender. The quesadilla surpassed my expectations for an appetizer. It was a really hearty quesadilla with a tasty mix of fillings and toppings, and I would definitely order it again!“

“A treasure to find this place. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. We will become weekend regulars and want to try just about everything on the menu. The Patty Melt was the best we have ever had anywhere!“

“Just a PSA - I am normally a vanilla based ice cream flavor type of gal. Tonight my husband got the Flavor of the Day - Dark Chocolate PB Crunch. It was the most delicious custard I have ever had. I will go there every single time I see that flavor.“
