    We ate in the back room, which was great because we could see and hear the IU game easily. Daddy’s has such a buried menu. There is something for everyone. But we all ended up getting the ribs. They were great! We had a very cheerful and accommodating waitress, probably one of the best we have there, and we eat there often.

    Enjoyed our evening but it was a little loud. Not unbearable, just a little noisy.

    The Walleye was great & we will get it again. The chicken piccata was a bit heavy with the rice. I’ll try something else next time. The salad was cold, crisp & tasty. Our server was great, wish I remembered her name. Nice, cozy place to eat.
