Gippers Sports Bar & Grill
1860 University Ave.
Green Bay, WI

If your hungry for one of the best fish frys' in Green Bay, then Gippers is the place to be.
Gippers is named after the famous Notre Dame football player George Gipp. George was Notre Dames' first All American football player. Oddly enough, however, George was on a scholarship to Notre Dame for his baseball talents and had never played organized football in his high school years. The famous Knute Rockne recruited George after watching him punt footballs.
The famous phrase "Win One for the Gipper" was one of George's last requests to coach Knute Rockne before he passed away from pneumonia. Eight years later when Notre Dame was trailing an Army football team, coach Rockne issued the request "Win One for the Gipper" and of course the rest is history.
The Gippers restaurant was very busy (a good sign) when I arrived at 7:45 pm. Gippers reminded a little of the Redwood Restaurant --all decked out with Packer football jerseys adorning the walls. Gippers also had some Badger football memorabilia too.
The service at Gippers was excellent and my perch plate ($11.95) arrived in less than 25 minutes. The perch plate included plenty of perch, coleslaw, beans, and your choice of either french fries, potato, potato salad, or steamed vegetables. The best thing I remember, however, was Gippers homemade tartar sauce ( it was the best that I've ever tasted).
I will give Gippers 5 stars ***** for service and the perch plate.
