The fish fry here is amazing. We drove an hour to go pick it up. It was hot and fresh. Their homemade potato chips are a must have. They're our favorite place for Friday fish fry.

My next destination of the Foodie quest takes me once again to the city of Cedarburg, Wi. This time we had an opportunity to dine in at Jim's Grille. It was a laid back place that let us chose where we wanted to sit. Wonton Pepper jack sticks were a nice twist on the classic mozzarella, with a nice crispy exterior and creamy pepper jack cheese on the inside. Combo plate the broccoli cheddar bites were nice and warm and the chicken tenders were very crispy. Those were amazing. However the last item the crispy onion strings were a generous portion, albeit a little tepid. They rewarmed it and it was still good. Southwest steak wrap with an herb tortilla was amazing and juicy with a small kick of spice. It was warm and a bit zesty. The herb tortilla brought in more flavor to the dish. The chicken club wrap was amazing and was packed like a Tetris game lol! Everything inside was extremely flavorful, from the tender chicken to all the other stuff included it was an easy 4 star meal! These wraps came with chips normally, I'm wondering why there is an upcharge for fries when a good chunk of people would prefer them instead. Overall it was a pretty good experience with a nice take on some classics.

Decided to try something new and glad we did! This place was busy when we went so they must be doing something right. My boyfriend and I went for lunch to get out of the house. Our server was the sweetest girl and I wish I got her name. It seems like they have a lot of regulars. The food was good and it was overall a very pleasant experience!
