The Cod fish fry here is amazing! Light crispy batter and tender flaky fish. The cheesecake was also delicious. Atmosphere was high energy on a Friday night.

On 3/20/2026 Paula C C. had this to say:
We have had fish frys just about everywhere in the Wausau area. You would be hard pressed to find a better fish fry than Loading Zone's Friday Fish Fry.

On 3/7/2026 Chad Stack had this to say:
If you like fish fry’s and cheesecake, this is the place to go. Cheesecake is homemade and they have many flavors. Come early to avoid the big wait because it is a popular supper place for a reason. Staff was friendly and helpful. Price was $19.50 and soda was $2.

On 3/6/2026 Steve Shulta had this to say:
Tasty food, efficient service and a very clean establishment. Our favorite Wausau fish fry !!
