Comment: We’ve been to Mid Town Pub a bunch of times over the years and have always thought it’s a great bar with a solid Fish Fry. We rolled in around 8pm after a hockey game this week and got a table with ease.
MTP features cod and walleye on Fridays and the walleye I had this week was different from the freshwater fish in my memory. As I recall, the walleye used to feature the same beer batter as the cod, and while the creamy coating works well with saltwater swimmers, I felt it overwhelmed the walleye.
Today’s walleye has a light and crumbly breading that lets the flavor of the fish shine through. It’s much more in-line with what I expect to see on the king of the lake, and a big step forward in my opinion. This fish was very good and paired perfectly with the Pub’s thick and zippy tartar.
MTP has a bunch of sides to choose from and the waffle fries sounded just right tonight. These lattices were crispy as all get out and provided a great contrast to the flaky fish. Rounding things out was a slab of Texas toast and a large (3 1/4 oz) cup of tangy slaw.
Despite being located in a strip mall the Mid Town Pub has a great local tavern kind of feel. The atmosphere is vibrant and the food is certainly a step above typical bar fare. Overall, we recommend this Fish Fry and think it’s anything but mid.www.midtownpub.com
