text: Quick review Closer to stars Tried the Friday night fish fry at Quiveys and was not terribly impressed Baked fish and perch were ok deep fried cod was soggy as were fries Service in the Stable Grill was quite lacking Averaged per person with drinknnnDetailed reviewnA few coworkers had been raving for months to us about Quiveys Grove they insisted it was the best fish fry you will ever have So we rounded up the crew and hit Quiveys hoping to score a stellar fish frynnWe placed our name for a table in the Stable Grill and were told the wait would be about minutes to an hour and that was with us arriving almost immediately at pm I cannot imagine how long the wait would be later on at nightnnThe Stable Grill has a ton of character it scores bonus points for the huge timberframes and the awesome wooden bar Beer selections while not countless were really nicely represented from Ale Asylum to Tyranena nearly every one was a specialty Wisco microbrew Beers were for a pintnnWhile waiting we ordered the cheese curds which were served with a mustard side interesting combo They were decent curds but probably not worth As they sat they became greasier usually a sign of a fryer that is not up to a hot enough temperaturennWe were led to our table at around and were presented with menus As mentioned by others the traditional menu at the Stable is geared toward sandwiches many of which looked and sounded interesting but we were here for the fishnnFish options include baked cod deep fried cod or deep fried lake perch Potato options are limited to parmesan potatoes or fries All come with coleslaw and a really nice bread the bread was dense and flavorful soft and chewy with just a hint of crustiness You can order the deep fried cod with an all you can eat option for an extra nnI opted for the sampler which got me a serving of each type of fish and I chose fries as my side because everyone else at the table went with the cheesy potatoes nnPlates arrived after a minute wait The baked cod was mediocre slightly watery very mild in flavor featured a firm and meaty texture but was not terribly flaky My guess is that it had been sitting in a steam warmer for a while it did not taste fresh from the ovennnThe deep fried lake perch was good Firm texture good fish flavor and featured a nice crumbly breading that stayed fairly crisp throughout the entire meal If I were to come back to Quiveys I would go with the perchnnThe deep fried cod was a major letdown It was actually soggy when it arrived the beer batter was not crisp but instead spongey The fish itself was flavorless and extremely watery as well This fish had clearly been sitting for a long time before it was plated arghnnThe fries were as limp as any bad drivethru fry I have ever had I ate about four of them and left the rest to sit I am told the cheesy potatoes were ok but some peoples were cold as wellnnAfter polling the five members of my group the general feeling was that Quiveys failed to deliver The fish was slightly below average many items were cold and everyone is deep fried cod was soggy and unappealing Service was slow and sparse as wellnnQuiveys Grove FAILnnFood starsnService starsnValue stars sampler plate for baked fishnMISC stars nice atmosphere decent bar areannPerhaps we had a mediocre experience because it is lenten season and they were slammed I would be hardpressed to try the fish again but I would consider sampling some of the other food options Sorry Quivey you have got a cool pad but that is about all you have got going for you
