Monk's Retreat the

Nothing like wandering around your small town to find this small hole in the wall bar thats as cozy as it can get! I started off with their special cole slaw, that is as refreshing as it is addicting. Then I tried the Reuben with Fries and I was in love. Then I finished it off with Pumpkin Pie. I'll definitely be back, and most likely a Sunday regular when its not very crowded. If you're in the area, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot.

Quick review: went here for the fish fry and wasn't impressed.  I really liked the place for its atmosphere, value, and charm, but the fish was an ultimate disappointment, primarily because it didn't taste like fish - it had a strong charcoal/steak/hamburger/smoke flavor.  The menu didn't identify what type of fish they use; staff wasn't certain, either.  

Tap selection is dismal; appetizers were great, fries were excellent, but the fish was a big miss.  For a full review, check out my website (it's in my profile).  Sorry, Monk's - I wanted to like your fish fry, but we didn't seem to make a connection tonight.

The best fish fry and priced right!  Not many seating area so take out is another option! They have the best coleslaw I have ever had, it should be patented!
