Stopped early on a Friday night for fish fry. How it works is you get in line at the register. When it’s your turn you place your order and then you can go to the bar to get your drinks. When the staff calls your number, they bring you to your table and your food is there waiting. Fish fry was good. My son and wife got the steak sandwich. My son’s was a little tough and difficult to chew. Otherwise everything else was great and we will be back when in town again.

We had 8 people in our group for Friday night fish fry, we know the Loading Zone would be busy.

They seem to have a good process to get people in and out on Fridays. I recommend ordering appetizers and have a drink while you wait. The appetizers come out quick. The fish, baked potato and root beer was excellent.

Came here on a Saturday night, and it was not too terribly busy around 5:30. Our party of 5 was able to be seated right away, and the server quickly took our drink order.

3 piece baked fish Cajun seasoned. Sure did not seem like 3 piece to me but how would you know it all came out in lil pieces. And there was like 14 fries and a salad that was a real joke. Save your time and money go any place else:(

Very busy place. Loved the old time, traditional supper club feel to it. Excellent and friendly staff.

Excellent fish fry. You put in your order and when your food is ready, they’ll call out the number they gave you and then seat you at your table. I recommend going early on Fridays-they get quite busy pretty quick.

5-9-23. Something has changed. 1 bartender, 1 waitress. Had to sit at the bar for 50 minutes with only 4 numbers ahead of us. Not good. Maybe we will try it again in 3 months. Went back twice in july, everything much better.

Very nice find, food was so delicious, the service was a little slow, they did say that they were a server short, so i expected slower service, the server was very friendly, i am glad i found this little gem, definitely planning on going back, it is a bar with tables to eat. If that’s not your thing, not for you, i would say it is a i am going back to eat place for me. Hopefully, you give it a try, and if so, I hope you have the great food i did. I had the steak, and lol, yes, the fish with fried mushrooms, everything was delicious, had to take some home,
