Fried Shrimp
Absolutely perfectly breaded and cooked fried shrimp. Light batter, no tails, great sauce.

Blast From the Past
Remember when you'd go out to eat with your folks and everyone was friendly and neighbors knew each by name. Well, come to Club 81 too and be reminded! The crab cakes are my favorite as well as the friend shrimp is so tender they melt in your mouth. The coleslaw is the best I've ever had and I always order an extra container with our takeout. Even the rib tips are finger sucking great! Go soon, these places don't exist anymore, enjoy!

wonderful
We eat there very often-since we were little kids. It is a treat to have the fish on Friday's but the rest of the items are good too. It is very casual with a bar in the front and the dining room in the back. The servers are very friendly and the young men who bus tables are fun too. We have watched several of them grow up. They have a hungry man walleye dinner that is a feast! Take your appetite! You will need it. And have fun!

The best BBQ chicken!!!
I know, I know...they keep saying they have the best fried fish but for the last 26 years, I cant get over my passion for the BBQ chicken (white meat only). That's all I ever order. Well, that and a pitcher of HighLife. It's actually a trailer house attached to a bar. It's like walking into a mobile home from 1979. Tacky but delightful. Dress sloppy - it's ok. The food is delicious and cheap. My chicken goes for 8 bucks, with fries, coleslaw, cottage cheese, bread, and 2 raw green onions - trust me, it's great. The owner is famous for walking around the table, telling bad jokes. They only have dinner on Wed & Friday nights. Cash only. All I can say is that I am a Club 81 lifer!!

Great Neighborhood Bar and Restaurant
If you're looking for a neighborhood joint for the best fried fish you've ever tasted you have to try Club 81 Too. The menu even goes beyond the large assortment of fish and shrimp. You can even get a fantastic steak, superb fried chicken or mouth watering ribs. The prices are rock bottom and you won't believe the portions. You won't leave there hungry. This is definitely a family friendly place, if Joanie is your waitress she always has a special "prize" for the well behaved children who clean their plates. If you've never been there, you don't know what you're missing.
