Parnells Place

The Friday night all you can eat batter fried haddock is amazing as well as the chicken!!! This place is on my list of favorites, but be sure to get there early because they get very busy.

Come here if you’ve given up on life. Townie bar to the nth degree with $ 1 hamburgers and a betchy waitress. Just kind of grossed out by the rudeness as well as the dingy décor. We asked for spicy bloody marys, then asked for more spice when they turned up watery and flavorless. The bartender was pissed. Sorry, girl, learn to make a drink. I get the impression that if you’re not a regular, they don’t give you the time of day.

Second year second time still great! Staff warm wonderful very attentive. Drink prices amazing! Large bar with TV’s and dining room. Food is wonderful and great prices. You will be full! Can’t wait to see you next year!

As a quickly learned not long after moving here, Friday fish fry is a quintessential Wisconsin tradition, along with cheese curds and bar dice. As such, I have visited dozens of different establishments for this purpose since moving here. That said, this place is only exceeded in quality by one other joint, and Parnell’s is far cheaper than my #1‘too.
So what to expect? Outstandingly crisp fish with all the typical accompaniments. Everyone I know talks about how great the cole slaw is here, but since I hate cole slaw, I really can’t comment. For me, bring on the fish, a side of fries, and a bottle of malt vinegar and I am in heaven. If you are trying to watch what you are eating, they do have a baked fish option as well. The baked does taste good, but it sucks when you come in with some buddys who are devouring fried plates and you are stuck with veggies and baked Cod. Especially when you know how good the fried is, I find this torturous.
Since how great this place is for Fish is hardly a mystery to locals, If you are stopping in here on Friday night itself, I recommend going here early as it gets packed in a big hurry.

Wonderful people & some of the best fried chicken I have ever had!

First time there in about a year. Fair service, food way over priced for food quality. Tuna steaks used to be great but now way too salty to eat. Must have changed ownership and management. Too bad. Will never return. Scott

Great people and even better food. Fish Fry is great for the money, some of the best prime rib, can’t beat the brostead chicken

Casual dining… excellent food! A favorite that has become a regular stop for me and my family whenever we come to town. Never disappointed be it sea food, broasted chicken, prime rib, walleye, haddock, but my ultimate favorite is the perch. Often order to take out if want to avoid the crowds on busy Friday nights when want to share with my Mother and visiting in town.
Staff always friendly and courteous. Service fast and efficient.
Recently had a group party and everyone raved about the food and the happy hour specials. I am sure they picked up a few more new customers that are eager to return from our group’s comments.

I give this place 3 stars instead of 2, because the staff are nice and personable enough to warrant another visit if I ever find myself back in my hometown.
I came here with family over the holidays during their Friday fish fry. I ordered grilled salmon with vegetables to offset the gallons of wine I’d been drinking over the holiday season.
The fish was way overcooked. It wasn’t burned, but it was incredibly dry and required a year’s worth of chewing to get it down.
There’s no where for people waiting for a table to sit, and it’s pretty clear this place gets consistently packed on a Friday night. So, in addition to the noise level being comparable to standing right next to a 747’s prop engine, I also have a bunch of people ramming into me from behind as I sit at the bar. Crappiest impromptu massage ever.
The staff behind the bar were really fun to talk to, and incredibly attentive. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here during a busy time, and the place didn’t blow me over with amazing. They will treat you well, though. Ambiance is typical Wisconsin bar type, with an area for tables in the back.

food is awesome, i have never had a bad meal here. dining room is small so sometimes there is quite a wait, but there is a reason for it, it’s worth it. one of our favorite places to eat.

Parnell’s is a family favorite. From JUMBO fried shrimp to fantastic blue gill, Parnell’s delivers on a consistent basis. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the ambiance is just fantastic.
It does have an incredibly small dining room, but they move through people very quickly.

A classy ‘up nort Wisconsin’ place. Great for a Friday fish fry, but I wouldn’t hang out here. Smokey and lots of scary locals. The fish fry was GREAT though! I would go here for dinner, but definitely plan on going elsewhere for the rest of the evening!
