Friday Night Fish Fry at Cimarron in Menasha, WI

Friday Night at Cimarron: Bluegill, Burgers, and a Packed House

If you’re looking for things to do in Menasha, following the crowd on a Friday night usually leads you to one place: the local fish fry. Last night, I took my son over to Cimarron Bar & Grill to see how they handle the Friday rush.

When we pulled up, the parking lot was completely loaded—always a good sign, though it took a minute to snag a spot. We actually wandered in through the bar entrance by mistake, which was already buzzing with people, before making our way down to the restaurant side.

The Food
The menu at Cimarron covers a lot of ground, but we kept it classic:

The Bluegill Plate: For $17, I was happy with the value. It was a solid amount of fish, and the quality was definitely there. The fries were hot, and the coleslaw was exactly what you want with a fried basket.

The Burger: My son went with a burger (no surprises there). He really enjoyed it, and as a kid who knows his fries, he gave their side of fries a big thumbs up.

The Vibe
Cimarron is a large venue, and they clearly know how to move a lot of food. Even with a great crowd, the service felt steady. It’s a reliable spot for Menasha nightlife if you want a high-energy environment and a consistent meal. Whether you are hunting for the best restaurants near me Menasha WI or just need a solid spot for a family dinner, it’s worth the stop.
