Redwood Inn
3361 Main st.
Green Bay,WI
The Redwood Inn has it all. It has great atmosphere and a terrific fish fry to boot.
The Redwood is decorated in Green Bay Packer memorabilia -- Packer jerseys adorn the walls of the Redwood.
On one friday evening I had the chance to meet one of the great running backs of the 60's -- Paul Hornung. He arrived one Friday evening carrying a suitcase and I happened to be near the front door -- so I opened the door to let him in. He had come to autograph his knew autobiographic book -- sorry I didn't get the chance to check it out.
On that night it was very busy -- I had arrived before 5 pm and when I picked a number for seating -- it was number 78. I ordered the perch plate take out and my wait was less than 20 minutes. It would have been quite a while had I decided to wait. Best to get there before 4 pm
if you want to beat the crowd or come on wednesday when it is not so busy (they have fish frys on wednesdays, saturdays, and sundays I believe too).
For a little over $10 the fish plate includes three paired fish fillets, cole slaw, tons of fries,and two large pieces of rye bread. If you decide to skip the fries ---they will give you not one but two potatoes. You will never run out of tartar sauce either. They have a large bottle of tartar sauce on the table so you never have to ask for more. At the end of the meal they bring you green soft serve ice cream.
I will give the Redwood Inn 5 stars *****for atmosphere and 4 and 1/2 stars for the fish fry.
