If you are looking for a great mess of perch or bluegill then you need to check this out. Super high quality fried fish. I love it when a restaurant uses good clean shortening and the crispy fried food is phenomenal like Re-Pete's. Service from Yessica was outstanding. Will be back!

Well here's another review for Repetes:)
Here is a huge shout out to Chef Josh from Repetes
I had a request for him to make a 'Blackened Chicken" dish for me. The only place that I knew who made this dish was Border Cafe in Delaware.
Well, I showed him the picture of Border Cafe version, and what the flavor, texture was of their's.
Well, here is his version and was just as good. Just a warning, it's got a lot of heat so just letting you. Know before you order it.
Blackened Chicken with veggies on the side. Fantastic.

Brought my dog to eat out on the patio for lunch and they were so kind. They have bowls and access to water for the pups and brought her bacon to eat! She was in heaven. Our food was pretty good too. Lol
