Wayside Inn - Jefferson - Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 9/10/2010 2:12 AM and is filed under Supper Clubs Wisconsin, Taverns Wisconsin, Friday Night Fish Fry.
As soon as you pop out of your car in the parking lot, you can smell the fish being fried in the Wayside Inn just east of Jefferson, Wisconsin. There is a big planter of cascading petunias and begonias in the back parking area. It is an older building - just the kind of structure you might envision a blue-collar supper club should be in. The town has not yet built itself up too much that far out of town, so the place still pretty much sits out in quasi-countryside.
The inside is rather humble. There are two eating areas. I might even call it cozy. The bar area is very Wisconsin. The fish options on Friday are many; there offer all the usual Wisconsin fish suspects and then some; so, no one in your party should go home with a disappointed frown on their faces.
They offer up a potato-crusted batter with their Cod. It sounds intriguing. I however tried the fried Perch dinner. It is hard to go wrong with Wisconsin Perch. It is almost always a good choice and tonight was no exception to that rule. I opted for a side of German potato salad and it came in abundance. They also are known for their potato pancakes. I ordered a salad extra with my dinner. The salad was topped with bacon and red pepper slices. Of course I got both French and Ranch dressing.
The meal came with a bread board with a wheat and rye mix. The cole slaw was a bit of a departure from the norm. It seemed to have a dill theme.
Wayside Inn is cool with Cool Dadio. Find them at W4820 Highway 18, just east of Jefferson, Wisconsin. Call (920) 674 -
