Comment: Hwy 19 is under construction but the road to the Whip is open and bluegill is currently on the menu. Sign me up.
The 5-piece bluegill runs $18 and comes with the standard sides plus a trip to the Whip’s salad bar. The five sizable freshwater fillets were perfectly fried and featured that lovely subtle fishy bluegill flavor. It melded perfectly with the thick and tangy tartar. I also sampled some of the kid’s cod and while the ‘gill was great the cod still shone a bit brighter. That stuff is just tough to beat.
The side of fries was crunchy as all get out but the portion was unexpectedly petite. Luckily for me, the salad bar more than made up for the small side with plenty of greens, slaw, and toppings to mix and match.
The road being under construction seemingly hasn’t hindered people’s ability to visit the Whippoorwill at all. The parking lot was packed and tables were hard to come by…it was as busy as we’ve ever seen it which really shows you how much people love the place. Overall, we highly recommend this Fish Fry and while we hope the bluegill sticks around the cod is still king on 19.7914 Hwy 19
