The Cursing Stone Pub - Janesville - Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 5/28/2010 1:56 AM and is filed under Neo Irish Bistro Pubs, Friday Night Fish Fry.
Golfers will recognize the Cursing Stone Pub out at Glen Erin Golf Club by the Rock County Airport south of Janesville, Wisconsin. I must admit, I do not golf anymore so this one got by me. The waitress did say they were stepping up advertising a bit lately. The pub and eatery has been there now about seven years I hear. I have seen some blurbs advertising their shtick lately.
The building is newish. It also houses the golf pro-shop. It does fall in the neo-Irish-pub-rubric construct. It seems to be a design that has gotten a solid foot hold in the restaurant, bar, and tavern culture these day. This new Irish theme design is a departure from the 1970s way of doing an Irish theme by just ramping up an old existing tavern with Irish stuff.
Our meal was a pleasant surprise. I considered my basket of the two-piece Cod, Milwaukee-esque fish style. There was two huge pieces of thick breaded and tender fish tucked in the basket with a baked potato. Somebody there knows how to fix up a baked potato. Any one can bake a potato, but to get a good one is a notch up. The cole slaw was thoughtfully prepared I reckoned. It was creamy, yet crisp. It is not as easy to make as everyone thinks either.
Heide ordered the baked Cod with potato pub fries. One of Heide's fish tenets is that the baked Cod must flack at the touch of her fork, which this did.
With my Miller Lite and Heide's Raspberry tea, our meals, and tip, we got out of there for around 30 Bucks. The Cursing Stone Pub is cool with Cool Dadio.
Find the Cursing Stone Pub at the Glen Erin Golf Club out by the Rock County Airport on the south side of Janesville. Take Highway 51 to West Airport Road. They are at 1417 West Airport Road, Janesville, Wisconsin.
