Comment: Lets get to the point.
The Cottage Café is a good value.
Its only $7.50 for a full walleye Fish Fry, and there are a ton of other budget-friendly options too.
The service at The Cottage Café is quick.
Even if the waitress is old enough to be your grandma, shell bring your lunch in about 10 minutes.
The Cottage Café uses good old fashioned ingredients to make their food.
The lone piece of walleye in the Fish Fry will be hand-breaded. The fish will be flaky and moist and devoid of grease. The hash browns are the classic diner-style and will be crisp around the edges with a slice of American cheese and a pant-load of fried onions (available upon request) on top. The tartar will also be made in house. It will be thick and creamy and appear flawless, but will secretly house a dilly essence that is enough to overpower the mild fish.
The food at The Cottage Café will be inoffensive.
The breading on the fish will be light, but wont have much flavor to it. Likewise, the side of steamed veggies (which is a welcome addition) will be a little bland.
(Other than the steamed veggies) The sides at The Cottage Café are above average.
The small walleye fillet, while a fair portion for the price, is kind of skimpy. The two warm dinner rolls that come beforehand will help fill the void. CCs zesty coleslaw will also play its part, although some less-than-fresh cabbage has been known to limit the overall appeal of the dish.
While this Fish Fry is far from perfect it is a great value and we feel confident recommending it.
