Crazy Joe's Fish House

On Friday night we headed to Crazy Joe's Fish House in Ava, IL for dinner. This place is in the middle of nowhere and only open on Fridays and Saturday nights.

The bathrooms are outside

When you enter, the menu is on a big whiteboard and you order at the kitchen.

They give you a ticket and you go over to the dining room to wait for your food. Check it out, it's an old barn decked out in odds and ends:

We sat at the picnic tables in the middle by the band. The Swamp Tigers were playing. We got started on some beer while waiting for our food. I ordered the Alaskan Whitefish with Joe's fries.

Joe's fries are homemade chips with a bit of seasoning. It was a little bit of a wait but worth it. Southen Illinois does fried food right : )
