Rita's

The Fish fry at Rita's is awesome. We all had the same: Fresh Perch. You get a salad or soup, Perch, and we ordered fries for the side. Rita's has the feel of a supper club, in a home-like establishment. The bar is lively, the video games up front are ringing, and the dining area was busy and bustling. The waitstaff are friendly and attentive. Overall, a great dinner in a cozy and quaint dining room. I've been to Rita's a few times. I'll keep coming back as it's a casual, laid back place with great grub. What's not to like?

I have been dining here for over 15 years. I believe the ownership has recently changed. I dined here on May 25th. We always come on Saturday and order the Prime Rib. We had a reservation for 7:30 and I believe this affected the quality of our Prime Rib. My brother & I both had the Prime Rib. We always order our Prime Rib medium rare, the pieces were more well done. We love the salads with the house dressing and I absolutely love the sweet potato's. I don't know if they receive their beef from a different supplier or if we honestly just didn't receive a good piece.Carly is the best example of what Rita's is all about. She runs the entire show up front, from seating your patrons, taking orders, and serving both the drinks and food. She has a wonderful sense of humor for being a one Woman show. I will return to try the fish fry next time.

I revisited today to relive golden memories of our years-ago visit. Glad I did. Her name was Rita, also.

I am stingy with five stars, but Rita's deserves it, from the fresh ingredients, depth of menu, perfect kitchen execution and a delightful, informed server.This place is way out of my neck of the woods, but we were going to a historical site nearby, so I searched out lunch options, and there were quite a few.But Rita's won my vote when I noted they had fish fry multiple days of the week, and on the fry menu are my favorites, walleye, bluegill, and lake perch. Seldom seen together, and they told me I could mix and match if I chose.But honestly, I see bluegill on so few menus I had to go for it, and the tiny filets were perfectly battered and fried, fries were thin and crispy, slaw and tartar sauce were a 10.Soup or salad is also included with the entrees, and while I'm not big on either, I went with the salad, and it was crisp and fresh, blue cheese dressing was my choice and it came in two ramekins, one a creamy dressing, the other blue cheese chunks. Nice touch. Plump cherry tomatoes and house-baked croutons rounded off the bowl. The server told me they make all their salads in-house, and they have a lot of choices. They have a lengthy menu, and a different special each day. I will return. You should go as soon as you can. Not a large space, so getting there early seems like a plan to me.

Local hidden gem! Looked like they have a lot of regulars. Packed house and they said this was a slow night coz it's usually line out the door. Friendly staff, yummy and very reasonable priced food :)

Local spot that's small but so great for Friday night fish fry. We talked to strangers sitting around us at their table and it became such a fun night meeting new people. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Small but mighty. Support your local establishments.

Thought we'd try Rita's for dinner. we both ordered Prime Rib. The salad was nice and cold and dressing was good. The Prime Rib was tough, there was a lot of gristle and fat plus it had no flavor what so ever. Definetly not worth $35.00+ each. Cocktails were pretty weak. Waitress was in a big hurry. There were only two other couples so don't know why she pushed us. Don't think we'll be going back here.

Ate here on 3/28/24, arriving at 5:45 PM. We ordered the 4 piece Chicken Dinners. Salads were crispy and served on chilled salad plates- nice touch. Potato Salad was delicious and service was prompt and friendly. The skin on the Chicken was extra crispy and delicious but the meat was disappointingly dry. A couple of minutes less cooking time would have made the meat much more moist. The ambiance was old school and our beers were served in chilled glasses and very reasonable in price. Will return again on a Saturday to try their famous Prime Rib.

Fish fry is very good. I've tried both the perch & walleye. Service was pretty good when I've been there & they were busy. Rita's is in an old house type bar/ pub. Reminds me of old time WI or MI type pubs with food. Not at all fancy, but good !

The perch has always the best fish to get here. Not a lot of batter on fish. Have been going here for years. Good service for as busy as they are.
