Belmont Casino - Fort Atkinson - Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 3/5/2010 2:49 AM and is filed under Taverns Wisconsin, Friday Night Fish Fry.
Around 11: 00 a.m. on Fridays you can start getting in on the Fish Fry at the Belmont Casino. I like those good old morning fish fry starts. Of course my schedule is so erratic I got there at 5:30 p.m. or so, but it is still just as good. Now these days, it looks like the Casino part of the Belmont Casino is a nod to watching sports and racing on the televisions in the place. The sign in front says "Established 1967." It is a family affair.
The bar is topped with a couple thick 12 inch wide, well worn church-pew wood planks. They are distressed by default. There are unfinished sections of the walls and floors. It reminds me of a couple on-going construction works-in-progress I have up and running my self. But we are here to talk fish not carpentry.
The fish is offered in a three or five piece dinner. The Cod comes with a different cut, almost like a Catfish or Walleye slab. You can choose fries or cheesy hash browns. The cheesy hash browns come in a good sized bowl. Your tarter will be in a good old bottle. There will be a side of great creamy tavern cole slaw. I ate up at that good worn bar top.
Fish, cheesy has browns, and slaw are excellent. God bless the "tavern fish fry." Belmont Casino is cool with Cool Dadio. Find them at 29 Sherman Avenue West , Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. For more information call (920) 563 - 4646.
