Friday Fish Fry: 4 Local Favorites
What says Northwoods more than a Friday fish fry? According to the locals, four of Sayner-Star Lake’s restaurants are a must-try on Friday night. Stillwater’s, The Hillside Tavern and Grill, Mar-Li’s, and the Sayner Pub each have unique offerings that keep not only the locals but tourists coming back for years. Why you might ask?
Stillwaters - Star Lake, Wis.
If All You Care to Eat is your thing, check out Stillwaters AYCE Cold Water Alaskan Cod for just $16.99! This meal promises to fill you up with not only mouth-watering cod but french fries, coleslaw, rye bread, and homemade mac & cheese as well! Not feeling the french fries? For only a dollar more, try their potato pancakes. While they have a limited menu on Fridays, they still have options for everyone from walleye and perch to bluegill and breaded shrimp, as well as a few sandwiches and smaller portions for those with a smaller appetite.
2. Hillside Tavern & Grill - Sayner, Wis.
Now, if you're looking for a cozy atmosphere and a salad bar, then the Hillside Tavern and Grill is the place to check out. While known for their pizza, that's not all they have to offer. For just $10.95, you can get their classic Cod Fish Fry with french fries and coleslaw, with the option to also upgrade to potato pancakes for a dollar or add on their soup and salad bar for an extra four dollars. For those not looking for a classic cod fish fry, they have their full menu on Fridays plus hand bread walleye, perch, or both as specials most Fridays.
3. Mar-Li’s - Sayner, Wis.
Can’t decide between fried or baked? Try Mar-Li’s Fisherman’s Platter for $16.99, where you receive two pieces of fried haddock, a half portion of baked haddock, potato salad, french fries, rye bread coleslaw, and drawn butter. For those who are indecisive, this offers the best of both worlds for those haddock lovers. Mar-Li’s has their full menu on Fridays (except for their delicious broiled chicken) which also includes perch for those who don’t enjoy haddock.
4. Sayner Pub - Sayner, Wis.
Friday night game that you can’t miss? But also having that craving for cod? Check out the Sayner Pub’s Friday Night Fish Fry for $12.99! Their four-piece cod dinner comes fried, broiled, or blackened with a side of coleslaw and rye bread, as well as your choice of potato salad, chips, french fries, or homemade potato pancakes. With the kitchen open until 10:00 pm, an expansive bar, and twelve TVs, receive the ultimate sports bar experience.
