Red Zone Pub & Grill - Milton - Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 12/2/2011 1:30 AM and is filed under Friday Night Fish Fry.
The Red Zone Pub and Grill in MIlton has been on my radar screen for a while. I noticed it a couple years ago when we were having fish fry at the bowling alley. Then I started seeing advertising blurbs in the Janesville Gazette, Kicks (entertainment/eats/events) section for the place.
I grew up east of Milton but went to high school in Whitewater. But, I know a thing or two about Milton. The Red Zone sits in a building across from Milton High School. The place has wore many hats over the years. It's been a couple different bars and a restaurant or two. I think for a while it served some other function besides being an eatery and gin mill. One era that sticks in my mind is the tavern type joint that was there in 1977 after I got out of the Army. There was a lot of pinball machines in the basement and some kind of tavern there as well. In those days the drinking age was 18 so I think back then what ever the place was called, it was trying to pick up on that younger crowd. But enough history.
Nowadays, it has been transformed into the consummate Wisconsin sports bar eatery. I will say this, it has a cozy timbre to it. You will find lots of sports stuff about the place. The horseshoe bar is inviting. Adjacent to said bar, find a dining area of sorts. I counted several tables, some raised, some island, and a few regular that all total could seat up to at least 40 people.
This night mother-in-law went for a good tavern burger with chips. She accompanied the chow with a New Glarus Spotted Cow beer.on tap.
Heide tried the baked Cod with waffle fries. Of course a cup of melted butter came with her baked. She got her consummate root beer.
I of course ordered the deep fried Cod. Two giant and tender pieces filled up my basket. I went for the traditional French fries. My fish was so good I savored the event by prolonging my meal with two Miller Lites on tap.
White bread slices and butter came with the fish dinners. The tarter sauce was smooth and tasty. The cole slaw had a thicker texture in both cut and cream and was darn tasty. All the dinners were seved in the tavern basket presentation.
Our waitress doted over our every need. Sometimes tavern waitress are the best..., just an observation over the years. In this case, there was nothing much for her to clean up as we all ate every crumb.
