Skip on this Fish Fry

by RIPRory

Nothing good to say about this fish fry.

- while not overly crowded, this place was super loud, hard for a family to carry on a conversation even though we were about 50 feet from the noisy bar.

-ordered drinks and waited a good 15 minutes to be served said drinks.

-ordered a variety of food, clam chowder was pasty, overly- thickened with flour and tasteless, sportsmen platter included 2 small bluegill and perch, really dry and a piece of walleye which was fishy, battered cod was so-so, both fish fries includes cardboard tasting fries, but suprisingly good cold slaw. The grilled shrimp with steamed veggies included 20 tiny salad size shrimp, some tasted moldy, and some super bland steamed veggies. Had to ask waitress for tartar sauce. What's up with that?

Don't let their heavy advertising fool you into thinking this is other than mediocre food served in a loud bar.

• Pros: none
• Cons: Many

Alright place on weekday nights

by CityPointer

Paragon is a nice place to go after work or after a ball game. On fridays and saturdays it gets very busy, but with more thugs than anything else. The games are good, but only one pool table really backs things up.

• Pros: Good food, pool and shuffleboard
• Cons: Service is slow, bad clientelle on weekends

Decent Food, Really Slow Service

by Triviaking

If you want incredibly SLOW service, this is your spot! On a recent visit, I ordered two drinks (one was a beer). 15 minutes later, no sign of our drinks. I had to walk to the bar to replace the order, despite the fact that the wait-person walked by the table 3 times after the initial order. Later we ordered potato skins. Last time I checked, potato skins always have bacon and (usually) chives. Our had neither - just cheese. They were warm, not hot. And when I emailed the owner with a polite complaint, I was told "you should have sent them back". Here's an option: Get the order right, and have the food be hot when served. I won't go back.

• Pros: Good Burgers, when they finally get there
• Cons: Service at a glacial pace
