We had an amazing fish fry on a Friday night. The fish was cooked to perfection, big portions, and a good value. Best fish fry we've had in the area!

45 minute wait which isn't a problem for a Friday night fish fry during the prime seating time The problem is the slow service from start to finish once seated A room with 6-8 tables and only server but several people helping to buss tables and to keep the salad bar cleanOnce we ordered our meals it took almost 20-30 for all 3 Meals to show up since we were seated almost at the end of the dinner rush. But it looked like the " To Go " orders was the main reasoning for the delay of our meal.

Authentic local gem!!!Let's be fair... One must rate Hartland's Phoenix against the back drop of what it is... An local bar and restaurant the likes of which are no longer in vogue for most people whom have forgotten the authenticity of a multi generational family run eatery. Nancy ( a spritely 85?) the owner, is heart and soul not this landmark and her soul runs deep through every nook and cranny of the place, every home cooked dish, and every relationship she cultivates with her patrons.First things first... To kitchen puts out one of the best fish fry I've had any where in Wisconsin... Hands down best perch and baked walleye. The fry comes with soup and salad bar... The whole experience is less like eating out and more like going to Nancy and family's house for dinner... Home, real, no flourish just an authentic Wisconsin pleasure. They have daily specials all week long... Call, no web site because Nancy not much of a web developer ;)Secondly, the bar is a BARgin! Say no more! Drinks for a party of 4 adults and 3 kids....under $20! Seriously! I can not recommend The Phoenix any more... Go in expecting the above and you'll fall in love... If your disappointed... Well that's merely a difference between reality and expectation. Did I Mention the Burgers?! Holy !!!!! Killer burgers ... Just go, you'll thank me ;)

Best dang Wisconsin Fish Fry that you might ever have!Karl is the chef in the kitchen and has been the driving force behind this tavern for decades. He is a bit older, has a tobacco stained beard and runs an establishment that is part Wisconsin Tavern, part dining room and part game room.We used to frequent this joint when it was called the "In Between" in the 1980s and later "Karl's Place" in the 1990s and today "the Phoenix".Karl is a master chef, but bear in mind, you will wait for your food. Even if you are coming in for lunch on a Tuesday and order a hamburger you might wait a good 40 minutes before your food arrives.You'll get the typical fixings with your Wisconsin Fish Fry here: 4+ different kinds of potato dishes (German potato salad, egg-potato salad, french fries, etc.). They offer a full salad bar with that curious dessert-ish marshmallow-cream-jello goodness thing.I most recently fully enjoyed the fried perch which I enjoyed the most and shared my parents other fish choices: baked fish and fried pike.This place may look like a pit when you walk inside, but just find the friendly and experienced greeter, Nancy, and you will be treated right!I think it is all-you-can eat too!

Talk a' bout wings! The chicken wings at The Phoenix, Hartland on Thursdays are the biggest, most bodacious buffalo wings on the planet! I've never seen bigger chicken wings in my life. And the sauce is definitely the boss here. They come breaded or non-breaded however you like them best. I'm in favor of the breaded deep-fried wings with their crunchy coating. We ordered two 10-wing platters with Nashville Hot, Memphis Sweet, Bourbon and Siracha Honey sauces to share. The wing sauces are very heavy, sticky, and sweet. I preferred the Siracha Honey the best. But the Nashville Hot was just as awesome. The meal was so enjoyable, absolutely fun to eat and totally delicious. After you've finished eating the wing and cleaned off all the meat there is plenty of sauce left over to lick off your fingers. I'm telling you... these wings are serious BBQ. Be ready for a big helping of Mmmm-good! And don't worry, along with the wings comes a pile of napkins and wet naps. Trust me you'll need them. Also, our server was very personable and gracious. She was genuinely friendly, helpful, and communicable. To top it off when the bill came, she gave us a break on the second pitcher of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

As I sit here Saturday eating my leftover fish from last night, I thought I had to review this place. My fish is ice cold from the fridge and still crunchy & delicious. We had to wait 30 minutes for a table last night, but the fish fry was worth it. We got both baked and fried cod. Everything was hot and delicious! Salad bar was nothing to write home about, but I like that you can have your bread or Cole slaw if you want or skip it. There was also clam chowder at the salad bar. I skipped that and just had a small salad, delicious fish & fries. My husband got the waffle fries and they were great, too. Have to give kudos to the host who was very friendly and the waiter as well. We'll be back!!

Went to the Phoenix last Friday evening 12/13/24 for a cocktail and to shoot pool. When asked the bartender what flavored vodka they have she said we all flavors so I asked for what Peach vokda with sprite and a splash of grendadine, she said sorry we don't have. I got someting else and went about my business. Later in the evening my husband ordered 3 shots which he had to explain what was in them and how to pour them. After shots were poured and taken and paid for the bartender Courtney proceeded to wipe her hand over the bar and said "not even a dime" my husband proceeded to explain to her that he tips at end of night before he leaves an establishment. Courtney didn't like that and they exchanged words. We then went to get our jackets to leave and they were gone. Someone took the jackets to the bar, and then proceeded to argue with us as towhy the jackets were left unattened. We were in a panic as our keys for the vechicle and home were in the pockets. The women who took the jackets asked why we had an attitude and proceeded to use fowel language with me. We will not be back which is unfortunate as it is suppsoed to be a negbiborhood bar that is not very negbiborhood freindly unless your a regular.

First time for a Friday Fish Fry. A very bare bones salad bar. NE Clam Chowder was good. Server was very slow and the food was (although hard to believe) even slower. When I finally tracked down my server, and asked how much longer (approximately 30 minutes after I was seated) I was told it would be another 10 minutes. Two other tables were being served at the time. I thought the price was high for the quality of the food and the lack of service.

Best fish fry anywhere and best potato pancakes outside of Germany! I would recommend take out and brief walk to Nixon park where you can eat at the beer garden and order a nice beer too on Fridays!
