venue Jordan's Big Ten Pub

Plastered in sports-tuned televisions—some booths even have mini TVs—Jordan’s Big 10 Pub oozes sports-bar to the point of caricature. Pool, darts, arcade games, sports memorabilia? Check, check. Fortunately, the food is better and menu bigger than most. Sandwiches include full pages of chicken, beef, and Reuben variations (smothered, jerked, and fajita-ed among others), and the Friday fish-fry options run from beer-battered cod to breaded bluegill, walleye, and salmon. Tempting homemade potato chips, fried broccoli-cheese bites, and sour cream-and-chive-battered wedge fries help soak up the beer.
