Pier 347
Lakefront Bar and Grill
347 Park Ave
Pewaukee
(262) 691-9347

Friday night in the Milwaukee area and what does mostly everyone want to eat? Fish Fry of course. My wife and friends made the drive to Pier 347 in Pewaukee, WI. Which is about 20 minutes away from the heart of Milwaukee. With a name like Pier 347, you know it's on the lake! It's on the south shore of Pewaukee Lake with a pier to dock your boat if you are fortunate to have one! They also have a nice outdoor patio as well and a nice salt water fish tank inside.

So, just to get this straight, I really don't eat too much fish, so I'm taking the word of my wife and friends about the review of this fish fry. But first, we did get some Potato skin appetizers which where pretty good, nothing outstanding, but still very nice. My wife did try a Strawberry martini which she said it was very good.

Not caring for fish, I did order off of the "build your burger" menu in which I chose Jalepenos and Pepper Jack cheese. I can't resist a spicy burger! The burger was pretty good, not the best but not even close to the worst, so I'll say it was above average. I ordered fries and also shared some Mac N Cheese which you usually can never go wrong with, and they of course did not. I'm giving my meal an above average rating.

Now for the fish fry. Our dining companions ordered the Fried Perch and they both loved it. They both did wish more coleslaw came with the meal, but never the less they enjoyed it. My wife ordered the beer battered cod with Potato pancakes which did look very good from my eyes. She gave it a big thumbs up! So, the fish fry recieves an excellent rating here.

The server was nice as well, especially on a busy friday night too. The decor as described earlier was nice. If it was warmer I would have loved to enjoyed the outside patio looking out on the lake. So with this being the first review, I am going to the set the bar high, so my over rating on this restaurant is going to be a 3.75 out of 5. I did think it was definetely above average and I will go back.

PIER 347 3.75 out of 5
