Friday night fish fry was outstanding. Second time that i tried this place. I asked the guy who was from Minnesota and sitting next to me at the bar what he thought of his fish that he was finishing up and he said it was great. I then proceeded to ask a few other random people also who were leaving how their food was and everyone said it was Great. The drinks were good and strong and no skimpyness on the alcohol at a very reasonable price. I give this a 5 star and i will be going back. It was totally Outstanding as i have heard from many others prior to my first visit. I highly reccomend the windmill.

After a long friggen day and my attempt to make it up north at a decent time failed, the kind ladies at this establishment had no problem making my buddy and myself food. Thank you.

Stopped in here Sunday with the kids for lunch and a drink. Great atmosphere and people. Amazing service and food tasted great. Kids ate all their food, which never happens when we go out. Will be stopping back thru the next time we're up that way again.

Friday night fish! Deep fried cod,potato salad, cole slaw or salad all very good!

It did smell like grandpa's basement (maybe new carpeting?), BUT... the bartender mixed great drinks, my chicken was delicious, and my husband said his fish was very good. The home made chips moved to second on my list of the best chips in the world. We were travelling thru from farther north to much farther south looking on google for a place to eat. We liked the reviews and thought we'd try it. Hopefully the locals are patronizing the place because it is worth it.
