Came here for the first time, and everything was delicious! We all got the ayce fish. It was so good! Got a big basket of fries with it and a salad. Good value for the money. I was told I had to get the cheese curds from chef Kaleb,and we were glad we did, best we've had! The service could have been better, but it was a full house. It wasn't because she was on her phone or out smoking, she was hustling. The place looked nice inside, and they also have daily specials. Looked like a full bar, too. My husband loved the hush puppies and said the tartar sauce was awesome. Thanks so much for recommending this place, Kaleb!!

Great Fish, But a Few Disappointments. I ordered the Family Fish Box (2 lbs), which came with four rolls and a pint of tartar sauce, plus six teriyaki wings and a box of curly fries. The fish was terrific, honestly, my new #1 spot for fish. Until now, my favorite was The Main Bowl/Main Frame in Columbia City, but this first visit to Big Eyed Fish Tri Lakes might have taken the crown. The deep-fried battered fish had amazing flavor, and the 2 lbs were more than enough for two big eaters like us, with leftovers that could easily feed two more adults. The rolls were soft and very good, but I wish they had been warm. That might be on me since I got the family take-home special, and I live about 5 miles from the restaurant. The same goes for the curly fries, they were soggy, probably from be

One of the worst dining experiences I've had in my entire life. Hardly any fish, and the fish I did get was terrible. The fries were completely freezer burnt and inedible. The baked potato smelled funny. Absolutely disgusting.

My family enjoyed our meals here at Big Eye Fish. The appetizers were breaded, deep-fried veggies (excellent choice) with dipping sauce. I had the Bluegill dinner with a salad and green beans (prepared to tender perfection and delicious), another family member had the breaded tenderloin meal and mentioned how tenderloin and flavorful it was. Others had various versions of fish dinners, and none complained (and we are picky eaters). The meals were a success all around. Our waitress was warm and attentive, and she kept our party of seven filled with drinks and conversation. Our meals came quickly (only one small mix-up), each plate hot and filled to the rim with savory goodness. All in all, for the entire party, we were truly well cared-for and enjoyed our experience at this great l
