Superstition Skies in Apache Junction

Friendly staff. The cod basket was not good. Thick breaded outer when I was told it was beer battered. Had to come out of a freezer bag. Burger was ok but not cooked to requested doneness. Tater tots were requested but fries were given. Beer served in plastic cups. Watch out! They charge 6% for using credit cards. Also, check your bill. We were given the wrong one.

Great broaster chicken, chicken tenders and on Friday is broaster cod. Sunday is steak night. Live entertainment Thursday nights through Sunday nights Open Tuesday through Sunday, closed Monday.

The band was just getting started and already complete strangers were starting to get to know each other. Tonight's special was cod & chips. Most of the other things on the menu were typical bar fare.  The staff here is nice and helpful but don't expect the phony pasted on smiles like you get at chain restaurants. My Friday Fish Fry quest dictated that fish is what I would order. Superstition Skies doesn't feature a specific Fish Fry per se, they just happen to have it on the menu.  You don't get a lot of fancy breads and potatoes and salads with their fish dinner, just 3 large pieces of firm flaky beer-battered cod along with a good-sized portion of real French fries.
