HHFFRRRGGH Inn - Janesville - Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 2/4/2011 1:30 AM and is filed under Friday Night Fish Fry.
HHFFRRRGGH Inn is another in a long list of odd named bars and eateries in Janesville, Wisconsin. Make up your own list. In HHFFRRRGGH's case, if you inquire of the staff, you will probably get an explanation regarding an old Steve Martin movie. You ask about the name, this night we are interested in the fish fry offering. The building sits rather by itself on the east edge of Janesville off Highways 11 and 14 or what is known at that point as Racine Street. It has a 1990s clinical design, it could be a doctor's office but at closer observation the restaurant signage gives up the real story. The main eating area has a subtle vaulted ceiling. There is plenty of seating. The bar area is welcoming and comfortable in its neo-bar design kind of way. There was a slogan somewhere in the place I remember: "More than just a name, It's - A way of life." We shared a bowl of chilli with cheese and onions. It was tart and filling - meat and beans - and was very tasty on that cold night. I tried the Walleye with baby red potatoes on the side. The fish came in huge hunks as Walleye often will. They have just a bit darker breading in their presentation. It was very good. Heide tried the fried Cod with mashed potatoes and gravy as the side. I tried a tid-bit and it was way above the average fish presentation. The cole slaw was good and crispy. They add a small hot bread bun with each meal to the mix. HHFFRRRGGH Inn is cool with Cool Dadio. Find them at 731 South Wurthering Hills, Janesville, Wisconsin. Call (608) 741 - 8833 for more information; or, visit their Web site at www.hhffrrrggh.net .
