American Serb Hall Banquet

Serb Hall has been closed and reopened last month. As a kid I remember my dad and I coming to Serb Hall for fish fry. That was over 30 years ago. This Friday dad and I decided we wanted to be nostalgic and return to see if the fish at Serb Hall is as good today as it was in the past. The hall hasn't changed since I was a kid. The service was extremely friendly, prompt and accommodating. A simple but interesting menu for fish fry that includes baked or fried cod, the "Classic Serb Hall" icelandic fish fry and the specialty Serbian fish. Dad had the fried cod, I had the classic and we ordered a side of Serbian to share. Each meal comes with a choice of fries or mashed potatoes, coleslaw and rye bread. My pieces of fish in the classic were 2 inches thick and incredibly flakey. The Classic is a cornmeal breading that was crunchy and light. Dad had the fried cod that had a battered coating and was large and flakey as well. The mashed potatoes were smooth, buttery and flavorful. The vinegar based slaw was the only part of the meal that dad and I both were slightly disappointed in. He said it wasn't as good as he remembered and I like a creamy slaw. Overall the meal was as good as Dad and I remembered. The fish at Serb Hall has won many awards in Milwaukee history and I can speak from experience that the taste lived up to the hype. Thank you to all who we encountered Friday night. We had a wonderful time!

It's back! I always wanted to try this place before they closed. Fish and a side for $17.

If they added house made coleslaw and freshly baked rye bread with a crispy crust (not that generic thin stuff) it would be a knock out.

The breading was crispy and the Cod was flakey and hot.

Has Servall it was very quick to get get my order but it was cold in the building the temperature was like 68° it's terrible and the Porsches were small and the service was pretty quick the price was pretty steep it has to be a little bit warmer in the building so I'll come back again when it warms up

Went through the drive-thru to place my order. This is the first that didn't have a long line, but went much earlier than my usual. Got the baked fish meal and it ended up being enough for both my husband and I to share.
