D.Rough and I happened to be passing through the Upper
Penninsula (UP) and we stopped at Timmy Lee’s Pub. It had some good ratings, so
we had a good feeling about it.
The menu isn’t a standard bar menu, despite having most of
the same things. It’s got some nicer versions of all the things you’ll
recognize – burgers, salads, pizzas, etc.
I went back and forth about ten times, and finally settled
on the Friday Fish Fry (with mashed potatoes). D.Rough got the mushroom and
swiss burger. And since we were THIS close to Canada, we got some poutine to
split.
The poutine was in a nice little ceramic crock and was
wonderful. I know some people complain when it’s melty cheese and not cheese
curds, but it doesn’t bother me one bit. This was fantastic. Molten
lava-covered french fries and gravy doesn’t really have a bad version.
The mushroom and swiss burger was above average and generous
with both the cheese and mushrooms. The meat itself was also hand pressed and
not frozen. It was really good.
The fried fish dinner came with a little salad - nothing special, but it was tasty and fresh. The fish itself was top notch. Skin-on and fried with a great
deal of batter. The crunch on it was really fantastic and not soggy at all. The
mashed potatoes were surprisingly good, but you can tell from the photo how
much butter this thing was packin’.
SUUUUPER happy with this pit stop in the UP. Worth a visit
the next time we’re in town, without question.
(Not enough for a Top 5 list)
