    small 2 piece fish and chips
    Starla F.

    I have been here before a few years ago. The place was busy and filled with customers eating in and picking up. I chose pick up and ordered 3 fish and chips and the calamari platter. The staff was harried because of the crowd , however not rude at all. I brought my food home and we devoured it. The fish and chips were good, the batter on the fish light and flavorful, the calamari was tender and good, although the drive home with them in the Styrofoam container made the calamari batter soft and wilted. I returned yesterday for another go at it, the time was mid day on a week day so the crowd was much smaller. I wasn't driving far so the food did not get as soggy as the first time. The fish was light and flakey and the fries were standard fair, nothing to get excited about, however passable for most. I got a better look at the inside too, plenty of tables with satisfied looking customers. The staff was pretty much the same as far as enthusiasm, or lack thereof...I would not say they were rude, but they certainly weren't "friendly". I forgot to take my own photo, so I used their stock which looked exactly like what I ordered. I will return again.

    Even the picture of the small F&C is bigger than the large order we got

    Been coming here most of my adult life, lately the food is less tasty. But, now the portions are being affected noticably. Last 3 visits will be my last, unfortunately. Also got the scallops dinner, gritty!

    The locals are going, we found a gem! My friend and I were in RI to for vacation and local recommended this place to us. I love the local spots where the food is good and prices are not super expensive. I had the clam strips and chips and my friend and I split the clam cakes. The staff was friendly, food came out pretty quick. This place also has designated parking across the street, a bonus! If I lived in the area, I would go back to try more things!

    Casual atmosphere, Warren town Beach is a four minute drive and they have picnic tables and shade.

    Great mom and pop little fish shack with limited non fish options. They have shellfish and fish offerings. Very casual and few tables. Nice folks. Also fresh Portuguese sweet bread by the round is for sale. Fresh lobster roll special at 26.00 w a side or something, that's a good price. Love the Rhode island style clam chowder made with just broth, and so flavorful with a side order a clam cakes wow delicious

    I don't really understand the hype. This was my first time going to Amaral's. I saw a lot of cars on the street but did find a small lot that somehow wasn't full. I walked in and it was super busy. It's really small and you can really feel the smoke in the room. Ordering was easy, even through there was a line at "phone pick up" that people were taking orders at...lol I ordered a Small Fish n Chips and a Clam Cakes and Chowder combo. By the time I walked over to a table, it was ready. I liked the new England chowder, it's your traditional chowder. The clam cakes were okay, not much flavor. The fish n chips were clean but bland. I ate more of the fries than the fish. I wouldn't come back, I'd go anywhere else.

    Service was fast! Ordered at the counter and took out Seats. Food came out quick. It was my first time here. I ordered a sampler with clams, shrimp, fish and scallops also a side of calamari and clam cakes to share. This place was pretty busy with lots of take out orders, people were in and out. Food was excellent and fresh.

    Welcome!

    Ye Olde English Fish & Chips Restaurant - Delicious. Portions are still pretty small though.

    Ye Olde English Fish & Chips is one of those places that knows exactly what it is and doesn't try…read moreto be anything else. There are no trendy menus, no upscale atmosphere, and no attempts to reinvent fish and chips. Honestly, that's part of its charm. I've been coming here for years, and I have to admit that I am probably the least adventurous customer they have. Every time I visit, I order the same thing: fish and chips and a cup of white clam chowder. When something works, why mess with it? The fish is always crispy without being overly greasy, despite what some reviews might lead you to believe. The portions are generous, and the fries have always reminded me a little of the fries served at Wright's Farm. I'm not sure exactly why, but every time I eat them, that's the comparison that comes to mind. The clam chowder is also very good. As a lifelong Rhode Islander, I'm firmly in the white chowder camp, and theirs is done right. It's flavorful, satisfying, and pairs perfectly with the fish and chips. The setup is simple. You order at the counter when you walk in, they give you your number, and you grab a seat in the dining room while you wait for your food. It's efficient, straightforward, and keeps things moving. The staff has always been friendly, and I've never had an issue with service. Another plus is the value. The prices are very reasonable, especially these days when it feels like every restaurant meal costs twice what it did a few years ago. You get plenty of food for your money, and I've never walked away feeling disappointed. Parking is easy thanks to the large lot, which is a small thing that becomes a big thing when you're hungry and just want to get inside without circling the block looking for a spot. We usually stop in every few weeks, and that's probably the best endorsement I can give. If a restaurant keeps earning repeat visits year after year, they're doing something right. This isn't a destination for fine dining, and it isn't trying to be. It's a comfortable, reliable spot serving good fish and chips at fair prices with friendly people behind the counter. Sometimes that's exactly what you're looking for. Four stars.

    It had been a while since I checked out this RI staple but I've been wanting some fried seafood and…read morefigured that today would be the day. When I arrived, around 3pm I was one of only 2 tables there. It's counter service and the teenagers taking my order were respectful but not overly kind. They didn't tell me I needed to wait for my order as they wouldn't call it out. But, I digress. The restaurant itself is small but clean. Dated in a cute way. You can tell they've been in business for a long time and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I had seen online that they had a scallop and shrimp plate but that wasn't offered today so I settled for shrimp and fish along with a cup of chowder. All this and a bottle of soda cost $40. Not an amazing price but I thought it was reasonable as a treat. My food came out quickly and I started with the seafood chowder. This chowder is amazing. Very creamy, decadent, and full of fish. I can not recommend it enough. The shrimp were also delicious. They were fried very well and moist. Not greasy at all. I recommend those as well. I have conflicting thoughts on the fish. On one hand I know that the English preparation is a heavy batter. I'm okay with that. But this batter was borderline soggy. No crisp to it whatsoever and the fish inside was completely lost to the breading. Which was honestly too bad because the fish itself was nice and flaky. Do I recommend Ye Olde Fish and Chips? Sure. I like supporting small business and I in they add a lot to the area. Would I get the fish again? No. But I will be first in line for the scallop and shrimp plate if it ever comes back to the menu!

Burnt stale toast, gross scrambled eggs (I can't even figure out what could've gone wrong there), old dry sausage, grilled English muffin that tasted like a dirty griddle, chourico hash was dry and burnt, the pancake was tasteless...overall very disappointing experience. I wouldn't return. The place was also empty on a Saturday morning which says enough!

    Woke up this morning and so time for another review and to stop slacking on my one review a week…read morepromise. Found this place from Yelp and looked promising and was close by to Riverside so said let's give it a go! First of all I drove by it the first time. I turned around and then found it. Ok, That's on me lol. I took some pictures of the outside area and signage and headed in. There was a waitress helping out some customers so I waited for her to finish but she politely said to me to grab a seat any where. I waited for maybe 4 minutes and the same polite waitress came over and gave me a menu and some nice spotless utensils and asked if I wanted some coffee. I said no thanks I'll just take an ice water. I started looking at the menu and it was small which in my mind that's a great thing! But wait.... Um.... (If you all know me I am a sucker for a good eggs Benedict), but where is it? I searched both sides of th menu again and nothing. So now I'm like maybe they can make one?... The waitress comes back and asks for my order. I asked her if they could make an eggs Benedict and she said sure. I went over with her on how its made but asked if I could swap out the ham for Portuguese blade meat and she was like sure no problem but just to let you know everything is cooked to order so it might be a bit which I said no worries at all. I also ordered a side of crispy bacon. I waited like 8 minutes and here arrives the super piping hot food. Lets review! Eggs benny-, What happened to the Hollandaise sauce? It was like water. I started to get sad but I was like let's review the rest of it first. The eggs were poached nice( getting close to over but he caught it in time). The blade meat was flavored ok but was like boneless pork chops not the typical shreded blade meat ands kind of on the dry side. The lettuce and tomato on the side, um, It just seemed it was plate filler. The home fries- They were pretty good, The flavoring was there but I just wish they were crispy on the outside a bit. The side of bacon- I asked for crispy bacon and I got perfect crispy bacon which made the meal. Overall this is a nice small neighborhood breakfast place. It's only been open since 2023. It has awesome family vibes and I will be back to try something on the menu next time.
