Mike Linnig's Restaurant

"Jane could not resist dancing this "baron of frog" around the table before anybody had a chance to bite into it."
Michael Stern






"We cannot recall the last time we found Kool-Aid served in a restaurant. Although the menu lists it as fruit punch, the man behind the counter was proud to call it by its brand name."
Michael Stern



"A close shot of the daddy of 'em all at Mike Linnig's, the Seafood Plate. It includes scallops, shrimp, frog legs, spicy fish nuggets, oysters, clams and hush puppies -- everything fried, of course."
Michael Stern



"It was a cold day when we arrived at Mike Linnig's, so the outdoor tables were unoccupied. We imagine on a nice summer night, this would be a very excellent place to enjoy fried fish and beer."
Michael Stern



"A view of the wall behind the counter where you place your order. The taxidermized animals on display are just a small fraction of the menagerie throughout the restaurant."
Michael Stern



"We didn't love the mild taste of Mike Linnig's "famous onion rings" as much as the several people who recommended the restaurant to us, but we did love how crunchy they are."
Michael Stern



"The fish-frowner at our table ordered a "pork tenderloin cutlet" from the sandwich menu. It bears little resemblance to the pounded thin, brittle-crisp cutlets to the north and west, but it was good and juicy."
Michael Stern



"Mike Linnig's sells its house-made tartar sauce by the pint ($2.45) and cocktail sauce by the 12-ounce container ($2.45). Both are excellent"
