Tomczak's Tap Inc

Can't beat the amazing fish fry on Fridays along with amazing burgers and other specials throughout the weeks and don't forget the awesome service!!!!!!

My dad has been saying for years how much he wants to go to a fish fry. Seeing as though my husband also loves fish, I figured this would be a nice occasion for all of us to go out. So after searching Yelp and filtering with "best reviews" I came across tomczaks. Quite the dive bar, with old decor and tables but I've come to appreciate that sometimes those are the places that serve some of the best food.

Having read all the positive fish fry reviews, I decided that we'd go here over the golf course (who has been doing the fish fry for years).

My husband had the cod lunch special for
$6.75 and my dad had the all you can eat perch fish fry for $11.00. My dads plate was huge so he did not end up getting a second helping!  I think its also worth saying that you have to pick one type of fish, since they're all different prices.

In regards to the fish, both of them agreed that the fish was delicious, the batter was perfect BUT the tartar sauce was missing something... Not tart enough. Both said it tasted like basic mayo. I had a burger since I'm not a big fish lover- and enjoyed it. They toast the bun and the burger was just how I liked it. I was pleasantly surprised.

Service was friendly and the food was good. Only reason I'm rating it a 4 was because it was so cold in there and because of the tartar sauce--

Anyone else thought this place was just a bar?

If you saw Tomczak's from the outside, you'd agree with me.  It's a bar.  But I learned that it's a bar that serves some tasty Fish Fry every Friday night.  I was skeptical, because y'know, it looks like a bar.  

Their Friday night fish fry is All you can Eat and you get a choice of cod, catfish and perch. My go-to is Cod, but I'm definitely going to try the catfish next time. The fillets are a nice size, have a nice battered coating and served piping hot. They weren't greasy or over done. They also come with a side of fries, coleslaw and garlic bread. The fries and garlic bread were great, but the coleslaw was very bland. I love coleslaw so I was a little disappointed with this serving.

We also tried the chicken tenders and they were pretty tasty but my guess would be that they are pre-prepared or packaged.  Sorry I can't remember what else was on the menu because we were there for the fish!

There are two sections inside---a bar section with a few casino machines, and the dining section--basically about 7 tables.  The dining section is family friendly which really surprised me. They had high chairs too!  Just a few families dining that night, most of the other patrons were older couples. . They just make it clear that children cannot cross over to the bar section. And I'm sure that after dinner hours, no kids would be allowed inside at all.

Service was kind of friendly, kind of sarcastic, kind of like Flo from the TV show Alice.  For a townie institution like T-zaks, I would have expected nothing less.

Reasonable (cheap!) prices.  $2 PBRs.
