Coleman's Crystal Lake And Grill

Hubby and I came here tonight for the fish fry (AYCE beer battered cod, he had the smelt dinner and the Hawks game. I don 't know what those other people encountered, but the place looked and SMELLED clean, Alex (our server was polite and friendly, though she was quite busy. Yeah, this is a local hole in the wall now, but I 've been patronizing Coleman 's since they were located on Rt 31 then Rt 14 (good pizza and burgers then too when they were a true restaurant. Laid back and simple :

Our waitress was amazing!!! The cod fish fry was ok...a bit chewy. The beer batter was well done, but the oil might have been old? The fries were also average. There are only 6 tables, the rest is bar.

The food is amazing. I love the new waitress that started. I cannot wait to go back and have her serve me.

I 'm composing this as I sit here on a Monday after work. Pbr tall boy in one hand, cell in the other. It 's fun. Larger then it looks and has that local dive bar feel. Some townie is rambling on. All bars need one, he 's fun. I had a $2 burger. Smaller then I expected but awesome party. I 'm impresed. Lastly, they do have a patio, only three tables but I did not notice it from the front.

First time at Coleman's Crystal Lake. Great food, fabulous service! We'll be back! **** Mary's we're perfect.
