This afternoon I visited Union Park Tavern in Kenosha for the first time; I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Upon arriving, I observed several couples entering the bar and wondered if we might be too late for a table; we had left early for the fish fry.
Thankfully, we were shown to a table in the bar; it was a bit noisy but really just bar chatter and the interior is very old and quaint and charming.
But, one does not patronise Union Park Tavern for the décor.
Our waitress Peggy took very good care of us; she brought us drinks immediately and took our orders, recommending several dishes that she had also tried and enjoyed.
We both ordered the walleye and it arrived very quickly with a side of potato wedges, coleslaw and bread.
Let’s talk about the walleye.
OH.
MY.
GOD!
I have NEVER had such good walleye in my life!
HOT DIGGITY DOG!
Look at me, writing in capital letters on Yelp!
The portion I received was enormous; I really thought I might not be able to finish it. But, I must tell you: I polished it off with no trouble at all. The walleye was tender, flaky, and beautifully prepared; I can’t remember a walleye dinner this memorable.
Peggy recommended a Hacker-Pschorr and I am grateful for her suggestion; it paired perfectly with the walleye.
NB Union Park Tavern does not accept credit cards (cash only) so be prepared; I think there is an ATM somewhere about.
Union Park Tavern is a terrific bar/café; I will definitely return!

Fantastic service. Such friendly waitresses! Will be back again. Chicken and ribs were great. Old fashioned was spot on. Exactly how you like it in Wisconsin. Dirty Shirley Temple was to die for and had lots of cherries. Salads were delicious and very fresh. Super fun atmosphere!

What a great place to hang out and eat! Fantastic fish fry on Friday’s with hand breaded shrimp too and wonderful sides. They also make the best housemade fried cheese curds I’ve ever had. The burgers and broaster chicken are wonderful. I haven’t had anything bad from the menu yet. The live music is always awesome, and the service is friendly and excellent.

Really good fish fry Fridays. I ordered the perch, but they also had other options like pike , walleye, cod and shrimp. It was a GOOD serving size (and some). Good onion rings, bread, coleslaw. Highly recommend. Also, some reviews say they only accept cash, they are now accepting credit cards as well. My partner got chicken tenders and he also enjoyed his meal. The chicken was really soft and the breading was good. He ordered his meal with fries, these were a little bland. The service tho? Excellent. I wish I remembered the name of the person that served me – she was really sweet and checked in with us several times. The place was full, and like many reviews mention, it will take a bit for you to get the order, so don’t come with a rush. Sit back and enjoy a drink while your meal is prepared. It will be worth it. Now, this is a tavern, so don’t expect the place to be a quiet spot to eat. It is loud and echoey…. Like any tavern would be.

Fish Fry is great. Nice crispy onion rings. Servers are awesome. The kitchen seems to get backed up. It took a long time to get our food after our order was placed. A super nice patio with luve music definitely helps pass the waiting time for your order. Street parking and clean restrooms.

I enjoyed the 3 piece prime cut cod for dinner with baked potato. It was all very good. They serve local Cardinali’s Italian bread with your meal that is soft and fresh. Love the vibe of this place. Wait staff is always friendly. Went back for the 1/2 price chicken dinner on Wednesday nights. It was good but I sure did love the slaw. I even got a slice of the coconut cream pie for dessert which was out of this world delicious. I may have took a bite of the pie before taking the photo as I couldn’t wait

Good food and German beer on tap. Staff and patrons were friendly and personable. Nice local community tavern with the Packers game on to watch wherever you are seated, an outside patio, and a variety of local music and entertainment! Definitely worth stopping in when you’re in the area!
