If you're planning to attend a Lenten fish fry, you have two more opportunities. But why wait? Next week should be the busiest of the season. Our dinners run from 4:30-7:30. The shortest wait times are for arrivals from about 4:45-5:00 and after 7:00. Whenever you come, we have music while you wait.
