Slippery's Bar & Grill

Stopped by on a calm rainy Sunday night looking for good food on our way back to WI.
Nonetheless to say, we were pleasantly surprised by this place!
Firstly, the location is quite majestic: think big windows, patio area literally on the water...& the river ahhhh!
Secondly, the service was very friendly, prompt & personal...just like these lil gems should be expected to be!
And lastly...the food! Yummy, homemade, fresh..just tasty! We started with the Grilled Sausage app: gotta try! Tasted like smokey BBQ & served with spicy jelly, cream cheese & bread...oh how that was good! Then, in between the 4 of us, we worked our way through the special of the day: "Chicken, mash potatoes with gravy & corn", "Sirloin with DELICIOUS crispy fries" & the "Beer-battered walleye with 3 jumbo scampi/buttery/naughty shrimp"... And not 1 complaint! Everything was juicy, well made, tasty & all!
In sum, I know if we lived closer, we would become regulars...

My wife and I took my elderly parents their on the evening of June 30 because of the nice river view on the outside patio.  However, we had to wait for about 30 minutes while others who came after us were waited on.  Finally, a waitress came to our table and said she wasn't our waitress but would take care of us because she saw we had been waiting a long time, but she made it clear she was not happy about it.  After another long wait, we finally got our food.  The food was ok, but we will never go back unless there is a change of ownership and staff.

Batterfried walleye sandwich with Cole slaw was good. Wife had a "Putz" Burger and said it was good.

Waitress was pleasant and attentive.

I only gave 3 stars cause the patio furniture outside is uncomfortable as heck & the salt shaker was so gross I couldn't even use it ....and because this is our first time back in years after basically giving up on eating here. We are trying to give it another shake now , years later.

We will try this place again
