POLL: Vote for Oak Creek's Best Fish Fry

It's time to decide the best local place for fish.

 

Last week, we asked for nominations for Oak Creek's best fish fry, and you told us.

Now, it's time to vote. With Lent upon us, what is the best place for a fish fry in Oak Creek?

Mike La Susa's, Erv's Mug, Jim Dandy's, The Back Nine, St. Stephen's, American Legion, Greco's Pub, Branded Steer, Jeff's Restaurant & Bar and the Cozy Inn made the list. In addition, two oft-mentioned restaurants just outside the city's borders - Mulligan's in Franklin and Shamrock Pub & Grill in Caledonia - are also up for consideration.

You'll be able to vote throughout the week, and we'll name the winner on Friday. Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by the Patch editor, based on poll results, comments and reviews on Patch Places. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.

Watch next week for the contest to vote on the best day care center.

Ryan why would you say they are fake accounts? And how do you know it's spamming the poll? Have you ever had their fish fry? If you decided to be so narrow minded and chose not to try it they you shouldn't even get to vote! Shame on on your for posting such a negative comment for a place you have never even been!

@Cathy.... 7 people within a couple hours commented on the resturant trying to get it included in the poll... and none of those same people had commented on a previous article talking about Fish Fries in OC. Plus, most of the people just had first names with a last inital... I think those are the reasons for Ryan's post....

You can clearly tell that this was spamming !!!!!! If Ryan is being narrow minded & should not be able to vote,then for spamming the Cellar over & over they should not be able to be included

The Cellar has always exceeded my expectations.
Mr. Nelson & his staff are extremely friendly & always "go the extra yard".
The fish-fry is always very good & I have, on many occasions, enjoyed their Ribeye and Prime-Rib.

On the Cellar- I had no problem adding it to the poll, if people are that into it...the more the merrier, I say.

Also note the little disclaimer I put in - it won't JUST be the poll results that determines the winner, it will be a combination of the poll, comments and reviews...

I agree with you Cathy. most user names on here include a first name only, not just the ones who "liked" the cellar. I didn't even realize that this poll was going on until today otherwise I would have commented last week. good luck to all the restaurants and maybe you should try the cellar fish fry before you knock it.

Cellar hands down... Let the negative people continue to bash and the cellars food/ service do its talking! Obviously it has gained the loyalty and patronage of those proud enough to take the time to vote on the cellars behalf! See you Friday! ------- a-game

This is not a fake user name I wouldn't even know how to do that, but a poll is being taken and it ahould include all the restaurants that do a good job. Me and my wife Laurie not only love the cellar fish fry, but all of their other dishes. It is a great family place with a great menu, and the best fish fry I have ever had.

The Cellar has an awesome fish fry as well as Erv's Mug and Georgie Porgies!! If your looking for good food, good people, and friendly environment go to The Cellar. Erv's Mug is good too, but be prepared to wait, or to get it to go and if you do eat there, be prepared to be rushed out. If your on the run and still want a good fish fry, stop at Georgie Porgies!!!!!

The Cellar has an awesome fish fry, its affordable and the service is excellent. Lot of food for ur buck. Not to mention their pizza is awesome as well. You know its not always the most popular, most crowded, most decorated place that has good food. The Cellar is nice and cozy not to mention the building itself has TONS of history. Who knows you might even be lucky to see a spirit from past.

I don't care for the fish fry at the Cellar; the service was mediocre and the fish fry was not very tasty the last time my husband and I visited. Unlike the fish fry served at most of the establishments, St. Stephen's fish fry is only served during the Lenten season by volunteers.

Just had the Fish Fry from Mulligan's on Friday and was disappointed. Even my kids who don't usually care too much said it wasn't very good.

The cellar has great fish fry. Both fried and baked. For those of you that are not great fans of fish or just don't want fish they always have a great beef dish on Fridays.

Mark thank you for adding The Cellar to the poll.
Not only does The Cellar have an excellent fish fry it also has a wonderful menu, service and very welcoming atmosphere. Regarding the spamming comments I invite you to stop into The Cellar it won’t take long to realize many of the posts that you’re reading are loyal patrons of this establishment. Who knows you might even make a friend or two!!

Erv's is good but get ready to wait, also a little older crowd but very nice people. Jim Dandy's has better breakfast than dinner. For a great fish fry in time for a show, or a great steak go to the cellar on Oakwood. I'm a first timer last week and it was great. I love this website good information sent right to your phone.

Cellar is my favorite for fish fry. You can usually get seated right away, the service is good and the staff if friendly and attentive. The fish is flaky, moist, not greasy and has great flavor!

The Fish Fry at Grecos is amazing!! I LOVE their beer batter. The service is always wonderful and everyone is very welcoming. They also have really great drink specials to go along with a great dinner. If you've never been there for it I suggest you give it a try!

Greco's perch is to die for! You get a lot of great food for not a lot of money! There is great service, friendly and personal owners, and awesome specials! $3 long islands, $1 beer $5 martinis! How can you go wrong?!?!
