Comment: Bit of an inauspicious start to this Friday but thanks to Peg & Doc’s it ended incredibly well.
I tried to hit up the relatively new Branch & Daughter for fish only to learn they only do fish during Lent (live and learn). I cut my losses by picking up a couple ribeyes for the weekend, and called the Keg to see what was what. Despite being part of the @potosibrewingco Fish Fry contest I was told they “don’t have a Fish Fry,” so I cut bait yet again and headed for Dane (the village, not the county).
The MadCity Cocktails book led me to the Ranch where i quickly realized it was much more “bar” than “bar & grill.” After a little Deal or no Deal, a Spotted Cow, and a shot of Tully I jumped ship yet again and headed for the old standby - P&D’s.
Peg was slammed this Friday and the lone bartender appreciated me holding off on a bloody and ordering a beer instead. She also didn’t blink an eye when I petitioned for a 3-piece in lieu of the standard 2-piece - a real pro. My fish came in due time and looked simply amazing.
The cod is a high quality cut, flaky as can be, and home a light breading with ideal seasoning. The hash browns with cheese and onion are griddled to perfection, and the tartar-for-the-taking is pretty much perfect. A side of delicious “we mix it” slaw finished things off and while it might not be truly homemade it is truly excellent. Hell yes.
When Friday lunch rolls around, you better be ready to roll with the punches since oftentimes Friday lunch is a far cry from Friday dinner. Luckily, there are stalwarts like Peg & Doc’s that cater to fools like me. Overall, we can’t recommend this Fish Fry highly enough. Please never change - and that includes the two dudes smelling barnyard-fresh right next to me. Viva a vida!www.facebook.com/pages/Peg-Docs-Sports-Bar-Grill/104962512879752?sk=wall
