There are two doors to the Main Street Cafe: one side is the cafe only, and the other is a more traditional bar. You can order from the full menu at both places.

They offer cod, walleye, catfish fillets, whole fried catfish, and many other varieties. These are also standard menu items, not just offered on Fridays.
