Comment: I honestly didn’t realize it had been almost a decade since our last trip to the Squirrel’s Nest; I knew it had been a while, but it didn’t seem like that long. Damn.
The $16 walleye at the Nest is large and in charge and one heck of a deal at that. The freshwater beast is the real McCoy, flaky and moist, with an incredibly crunchy, fantastically-fried breading. Pure excellence. It paired just perfectly with the thick and zangy tartar.
The hash browns were also scrumptious, fried open-faced then folded over omelette-style to melt the cheese and soften the onion. The dinner roll was as basic as they come but bolstered by some whipped butter. The side of slaw (or cottage cheese) also did the job without trying to steal the show.
The Squirrel’s Nest is a tiny place and only has a couple tables that can seat a party of four or more so plan accordingly if you’re bringing friends...if it’s just a couple of you, and/or you’re willing to sit at the bar you should be good to go. Overall, we highly recommend this Fish Fry and really need to find more time to get squirrelly.www.facebook.com/Squirrels-Nest-382143498543529/
