The Settlement Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Town of Scott

Friday night we decided to try a new place for fish.

The place is very nice looking inside and appears that it had been remodeled recently.

A haddock plate and Combo plate were ordered. It comes with coleslaw, choice of potato (fries, baby reds, baked potato or potato salad), as well as rye bread with onion. The combo plate comes with haddock, perch and shrimp.

The haddock plate was ordered with 4 pieces. The sizes of the pieces are all different. Some were your standard thick pieces and others were large and flat. I appreciate that they use the whole filets, however the flatter pieces were cooked the same amount at the thicker pieces which made the thinner pieces over cooked and tough. The thicker pieces were good and the fish was flaky.

The shrimp on the combo plate was really good as far as the cook and so was the perch.

The breading that is used is a panko breading and was seasoned minimally. The breading was a nice amount on the fish and was very crispy.

The coleslaw was basically flavorless and was dry. They also didn’t provide onion for the rye bread with any of the orders which was five...

If it's your first time here, here's a guide to ordering food.

Friday has great plate deals, it's probably gonna be busy, you're gonna be waiting a while.

Be aware that they don't accept debit or credit, beer might be 3.50 or so, get loose with the cash and let the good times flow. 50 cents make good tip amounts, who doesn't like quarters.

Get up to the bar as soon as you walk in, grab a drink and tell them you want a number for food. Hunt down a free spot at the bar and guard your territory.

Now the wait begins. Check your number and pay attention to who is getting called on for orders. This will be your guage to find out how much you can drink before you gotta worry about food.

So you've survived waiting and ordered your food. Next is more waiting, and more drinking.

The wait is over! Your server calls on you, takes you to your table where you're greeted by a monster size order of food.

Think to yourself that the wait was totally worth it, your food should be great. You look around and notice the loud but friendly atmosphere. Then you...

Stopped in on a Friday night. Which is fish fry night. I’ve been there several times but never on a Friday night. Fridays are completely different for dining. We attempted to go to a table to sit and order our food. We were told in a very rude way that you can’t just go sit at a table on Friday night. They have some weird number system that they use for that specific night but the rude sweaty bartender couldn’t be bothered to explain how it worked. So as others entered, they got numbers and ordered their food before us. I said something to the bartender about how I thought it was weird and she said something like “we’ve been doing it like “this” for 42 years”. Nothing like making you feel unwelcome with her rudeness. 🙄 The funny thing about the whole experience is that when our food was finally ready, we were taken to the same table we attempted to sit at when we first arrived. The food is good and the portions are huge but the extremely rude bartender ruined my experience. It’ll be a long while before I go back and I live just...
