Dear Friar Tuck's Regulars: Â 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. Â FT is an annual tradition for pilots and a welcome oasis from the justle and bustle of EAA AirVenture. Â Food is decent, drinks are cheap, and a great place to chill and chat with the bartenders. Â To me, it's as much part of Oshkosh as watching planes endlessly fly loops.
Review Source:Ahh, Friar Tuck's. Â Anyone who has ever camped under their plane in the North 40 at the Oshkosh air show knows them well. Â These folks have managing a crowd down to an art. Â 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. Â Some excellent burgers, the crab salad croissant, and cheese curds. Â Average drinks. Â 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.
We were NOT there at air show time. But the above comments re: the bill of fare, the quality, and the XLNT service, were right on.
Roast beef sandwich on your choice of abt. 6 different breads (I had sourdough): Very good.
Waitress was knowledgeable, prompt, and attentive to our needs. She recommended having only 1/2 piece of carrot cake, and that was still a big serving. My companions split a chocolate cake serving, and again, both halves were generous. She recommended against the cheesecake--how often does a wait-person do that??
Next time we're in Osh-burg and need a quick, informal meal, but not fast food, you can bet we'll know where to go!
I'm another Yelper who comes here during the annual EAA AirVenture. Â The bar food is above par and they have a good selection of drinks. Â If you fly in to the airshow you can pick up a bus that will take you here. Â It was always bustling but the servers and bartenders did a decent job at keeping up with it.
Review Source:Friar Tucks is located west of the end of Runway 27 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh and is a popular destination of mine when either flying to Oshkosh or visiting for the annual airshow.
I enjoy their hot ham & cheese served with Swiss Cheese on a Dark Rye Bread. Â I have also enjoyed their Cheeseburger. Â
The prices seemed fair and the service was great.
Like stepping back thirty years. The waitstaff dressed in monk regalia and the facility is dark and decked out to look like a 60's version of a TV monastery or German restaurant. Most of the fair is a la carte sandwiches which are very reasonably priced. I had the little John, a sandwich that could only exist on a menu as classic as Friar Tuck's. Imagine a foot long grilled sourdough baguette that is topped with melted cheese, a foot long Salisbury streak and mushrooms. Â Overall the food is good, but not great. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a hearty sandwich and some nostalgic atmosphere.
