On Friday, I arrived right when they opened at 4pm. There was a little crowd, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a couple who arrived on horseback and tied up to the hitching post. (Yes, Nite Cap still has a hitching post for their guests!) You place your order upon entering and then head to the bar to grab a drink and wait for your table to be ready. When they call your name, you get seated at your table to enjoy your family style, all-you-can-eat fish fry. The fish was amazing! It completely lived up to the hype. I was surprised that it wasn't a beer-batter, but the batter was still nice and crisp. The famous potato pancakes were also delicious! They weren't greasy and had crispy edges and soft centers. I understand why the recipe has held the test of time! The meal also came with tartar, coleslaw, applesauce, and bread. Highly recommend a visit to Nite Cap Inn!

My friends first time to WI Super club. She was impressed. We had old fashions at the bar while waiting for table. When we walked in, they took our order and name. When it was our time food was waiting for us at the table. We went for fish fry. Potato pancakes needed salt, other than that tasty. Schaum Torte fabulous. Would recommend. Would return.

Invited out for Fish Fry by my friends at this place ...and I must say it was delicious. However I ended up getting "dessert envy" when my friend let me try hers....I will return real soon for round 2....

Definitely a neat experience, walk in order at the door. Grab a seat at the bar and relax. When the food is ready, they send you to a table in the dining room. Walleye was Fantastic, light and flaky. Gf had the baked Cod, she said it was Fantastic as well. Key lime pie did not disappoint.
