Milwaukee is famous for Friday night fish fries, and with so many to choose from, it's amazing that most people still have a top favorite. For the second straight year, OnMilwaukee.com readers chose Lakefront Palm Garden as the best place in the city to chow a fish dinner.

The Lakefront fish menu features beer battered cod ($9.95), perch ($12.95), bluegill ($12.95), breaded shrimp ($12.95), baked tilapia ($10.95) or a combo platter ($12.95). All of the dinners are served with a choice of fries or potato pancakes, cole slaw and bread and butter.

The food, however, is only a portion of the experience. Diners are seated "family style" at large tables, and entertained by the Brewhaus Polka Kings, who gig in lederhosen and strapped with accordions from 6 to 9 p.m.

The Palm Garden fish fry is very popular with families because there is a dance floor where children and adults can dance to live polka ditties mixed with other classic kids' songs like the "Hokey Pokey." It's best to arrive after 6:30 p.m. if you wish to avoid the kid scene.
