Mike Lennox always goes above and beyond, and I enjoy visiting the establishment! They have convenient indoor, and outdoor seating on the river. They also have a nice playground for the kids. This is the best fish that I've ever had in Louisville!

The complaint is not the food. Their prices are going up x times a year. People pay that I don't anymore they just pile up on the fries. When it comes to Seafood they're not the only fish in the sea.

I have been eating here for 50 years. The fish is crispy and tasty. The onion rings are huge. Serving sizes are large. My husband and I share one fish sandwich and one order of onion rings and don't leave hungry! The ambience is fun and casual.
