Knute's Bar and Grill - Orfordville - Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 8/8/2008 3:22 PM and is filed under Friday Night Fish Fry.
On the recommendation of a friend, Heide and I headed to rural west Rock County and into Orfordville. Knute's Bar and Grill is on the edge of down town. I tried the Cod Loin which included about four pieces of deep fried fish. Heide tried the deep fried Walleye which included two large pieces of fish. I tried a bit of the Walleye and I thought it was quite tender and lightly breaded - it fell apart in my mouth.
Heide ordered the potato pancakes and I opted for potato salad. Both the tarter and cole slaw were smooth and creamy. The meals came with marble bread. I like to dunk my bread in some tarter.
The Friday Fish Fry is served from 10:00 a.m to 9:00 p.m. With our meals, soda pops, and tip we got out of there for just under 24 Bucks. Knute's Bar and Grill is cool with Cool Dadio.
Find them at 206 East Beloit Street, Orfordville, Wisconsin. Call (608) 879 - 2011 for more information.

The Journal Sentinel also mentioned that Corporal Thiry was a Marine weapons instructor in Quantico, Virgina. He transfered to an assignment that would take him to Iraq just eight months before he was scheduled to leave the military.
