Friar Tuck's

great food...very large portions

Dear Friar Tuck's Regulars:  Thank you for giving up your watering hole for one week in July every year, yet keeping the lights on (however dim they may be) and paying the bills for the other 51 weeks a year.  FT is an annual tradition for pilots and a welcome oasis from the justle and bustle of EAA AirVenture.  Food is decent, drinks are cheap, and a great place to chill and chat with the bartenders.  To me, it's as much part of Oshkosh as watching planes endlessly fly loops.

Ahh, Friar Tuck's.  Anyone who has ever camped under their plane in the North 40 at the Oshkosh air show knows them well.  These folks have managing a crowd down to an art.  The waitresses keep their cool while juggling the barrage of sunburnt polo shirt-clad pilots that swoops in every July, and service has never wavered.

The food is great all-purpose mostly fried pub food.  Some excellent burgers, the crab salad croissant, and cheese curds.  Average drinks.  Great prices. And a great view of the departing traffic every afternoon after the air show from the patio.

I haven't been here during any of the other 51 weeks of the year, but seeing how well they manage the one that we all descend upon them, I can't see that there would ever be any complaints.
