Comment: The Friday (and Wednesday) Lunch Special at @quiveysgrove is about as special as lunches get. For $14 diners are treated to a lovely little 2-piece cod complete with all the trimmings.
Any good Fish Fry starts with great fish and Quivey’s cod is about as good as it gets. This cod is legendary and has won Best of Madison a few times over the years. The flaky fish is cloaked in their signature beer batter that has just enough oomph to make you stand up and take notice, but not so much that it suffocates the delicate fish. It strikes just the right balance and is truly an instance where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Bravo.
The Parmesan potatoes are just as legendary as the cod, boasting a flavor profile that is second to none. The tartar perks up the already amazing fish without trying to steal the show, the slaw was incredibly fresh and clearly made this morning, and the sourdough slice was served warm - a wonderful surprise.
I have no idea how the lunch special at Quivey’s has evaded me over all these years, but I only just recently learned about it. Now that I know you can bet I’ll be back a few (hundred) more times. This is a special place featuring one special Fish Fry whether it be lunch or dinner, paddock or Stable. It’s all good at the Grove. Highly recommended.www.quiveysgrove.com
