Balch's Fish Fry

Chris Mortensen

Balch's is a cute local eatery. Grace was our friendly helpful server. The Wednesday special was baked haddock, sweet potato fries, and mixed greens salad with feta, craisins, and walnuts. It was so good! Dessert was even better. I had chocolate chip cookie dough brownie with peanut butter. It was a delightful meal! Highly recommend.

It's worth going there, just for the fries. They are the best we've ever tasted. I had the fish and chips for the second time, because I liked it so much last time I went. My husband kept saying how good the onion soup was. According to my husband and daughter, the burgers are good too.

Been driving by this place for 5 years and should've continued to do so. To make a stressful day a bit more brighter, my husband and I decided to go out for dinner and give this place a shot. As you walk in, it feels like you've been taken back into the 80s, ridiculously outaded chairs, vynyl tablecloths with felt bottom, plastic cups for drinks and my favorite red rose bouquets everywhere you look. On the walls displayed old fishing gear and accessories. I'm an avid fisherwoman and an angler myself. With that being said, I appreciate antique fishing gear and what's displayed deserves a better way of presentation and doesn't sit well with fabric rose bouquets. Design Solutions: Remove rose bouquets, remove/upgrade vynyl tablecloths, upgrade plastic cups with glass, update all cutlery to heavier gaige and the least wash all the windows from outside. Replace dusty window curtains with wooden shades, update chairs and tables with industrial/rustic, wooden benches. Our waitress was wonderful, welcoming, friendly, sympothatic and sweet! I ordered Baked Haddock with two sides (vegetable medley, red potatoes and a Lobster Bosque/Clam Chowder soups as an upgrade instead of salad). My husband ordered Salmon and the two sides. I was very displeased with the presentation of my dish. The fish was baked so the topping (breadcrumbs) was slapped on top of the fish which got soggy and mushy. In both of our orders red potato sides were hard as rock, simply undercooked. Our waitress did offer to replace my side of red potatoes, I choose not to get replacements for personal safety reason. The best that was offered, remove soup upgrade and offer a free drink which came out to $6. My order was $18.95 and my husband's was $22.95 but never offered to remove the charge for my husband's order. Best part of our dinner was interacting with our waitress but in terms of presentation and taste of the food which is priced high we weren't pleased with. The overall atmosphere of the establishment was not impressive, unfortunately we're not coming back and not planning to bring friends either.

Delicious fried haddock. Not greasy at all, crisp and flaky. Banging Shrimp was very tasty. Service was on point and friendly. Great place! You should go!
