6th Annual Fish Fry Challenge--2018!

Week 2 Review : Rhody's, Dubuque, IA During the fish fry season we gather our family and go to Rhody's as we have highly enjoyed this establishment for the past few years.  And we decided again to chose Rhody's to be a part of our fish fry review. As we had a large group of 11 going, we made a reservation ahead of time.  When we arrived, I was happy to see they had our table set up and ready for us.  It was not very busy at 6:30pm which was very surprising to me as typically its really very busy on a Friday night.

We had to wait about 7-10 minutes for our table to be ready, and when we were seated I was delighted to see that they set us a table that could seat 6, which meant plenty of room for the baby carseat.   After we were seated at our table, we waited quite a while for a server to stop at our table and take our drink order, as well as notice that we did not have menu...

6th Annual Fish Fry Challenge--2018! This year marks our 6th year for our fish fry challenge! And we've got an addition to our fish fry's...an adorable 6 month old baby boy, Colton.  Because we've got an addition this year, I've decided to add a comment to my reviews, which will comment on whether or not an establishment was 'kid-friendly.'  For those of you who are new to my Fish Fry Challenge, here are the basic details:  during the Lent season (fish fry season) we will visit different Friday Fish Fry’s in area, and judge and rate (on a scale of 1-10) these fish fry’s based on the following criteria:   1.     Fish—quality and taste 2.       Tartar sauce (because I LOVE tartar sauce) 3.       Side dishes-what is all available, quality and taste 4.       Service & environment 5.       Price of fish fry—is the price worth what...
