I was in the area just to do some shopping, relaxing, etc. I did not know a lot about the restaurants in the area, but I knew that I was getting hungry. I didn't want fast food or a restaurant that is also a chain where I live. I just happened to pass by this restaurant, saw people eating outside, and then looked up the restaurant. I saw that their specialty was fish and chips, so I immediately turned around and decided to give it a try. I am very glad that I decided to eat here. As soon as I stepped in the door I was greeted by friendly employees with a smile. My waitress was very prompt to ask me what I wanted, etc. I ordered the petit fish and fries simply because I had never eaten here so I did not want to order too much food. I should've ordered more, because the fish and fries were excellent. The portion size was good for the price. The food came out quickly, hot, and tasted fresh. Normally I do not even eat tartar sauce but I tried it here and I actually enjoyed it. I will definitely be making a trip back to this restaurant and recommend it to anyone. This was some of the best fish I've had in a very long time. I know that seems like a simple thing to accomplish, but it is surprising how many times I have ordered fish and chips and it was horrible. This was delicious. Keep up the good work. read more

My 4-star rating is for what it is: fried fish. I'm not claiming this is a 4-star restaurant. But order the fried fish, in any of three sizes, with cole slaw and a choice of sides (fries, salad, Caesar salad, etc.). It's perfect fried fish. The fries are good. The Caesar salad has a lot of cheese on it. Beer selection is limited; house white wine is "eh"; iced tea is canned. There are some things on the menu other than fried fish, but why? read more

Perfect place for lunch. Reasonable prices, speedy staff, great location and plenty of parking. My husband and I had their signature fish and chips and were quite pleased with the quality of the cod. If you do not prefer to have the chips, they offer sides of rice, salad, or Caesar salad. We enjoyed a half pitcher of sangria and finished the meal with traditional Queen Elizabeth cake. I highly recommend this restaurant as a superb spot for a tasty meal. read more

I found this fish & chip restaurant from the radio 104.1 Boom! The first time I went there the fish &chips were exceptional! The same with the second and third time. I then tried the rib steak. Just great like the steaks they had in taverns and brasseries. Last week I tried the steak contrefilet. What a delicious experience. As good as Baton Rouge but at a much better price (24.99) Great flavour. Will be back. Ed Petecki. read more

Great Fish and chips. A small and popular restaurant with a nice patio area. On the weekend there's a musician outside. read more

The Fish and chips here are among of the best I've had. Lightly battered fish with dark crisp fries that are all served piping hot. Other notables are the shrimp cocktail and the popcorn shrimp. Seating is cramped in the main entrance area, with the open kitchen opposite it could also be considered busy. The room to the right side is preferable or on of the two outdoor terraces. Dined here 6 or so times and the place has always been near capacity. Quite popular with the locals. The food never disappoints. read more

Very tasty pieces of deep fried fish, but found the batter coating just a little too thick. Loved the fries. Good service and an overall positive experience. Worth a try of you have an urge for fish and chips. read more
