My family went here for lunch one day, and we have never been back, never will. Besides being overpriced for the portion size, it just wasn't good. I swear, we'd have been better off going to Skipper's or some other fast food joint. I don't even know here to begin to tell you how disappointing it was, but I'll try. Rolls for sandwiches were not warmed or toasted. Fries were not hot. I don't really recall, but I don't think sides are even included with a sandwich. I don't understand how this place gets so many positive ratings. It's really not worth the money or the loooong wait for your order even when you are the only party eating there. read more

I make a special stop for seafood from Newmans because its fresh and high quality and the service is excellent.

All the fish in chips r really good. I have had them all. Personally the breading is to much but because the fish is cooked so perfectly I overlook that. Staff is really nice too. I didn't care for the chowder at all. But that's not really why u go here. Great fish and chips with large portions and reasonable prices. read more

Walked in, asked the guy behind the counter about what I was looking for and he looked completely disinterested. We were going to order something and ended up walking right back out. Very different vibe than the one on Coburg which is very good. Will not be back here. Not to mention that the Fisherman's' Market is close by and far better. read more

This is my favorite fish and chips place in town, high quality and flavorful fish, and very good fries. Out of all the times I've been there (a lot) I've only had one bad experience. Fish was not very good. I will give the benefit of the doubt though because they were very busy. Overall great food. read more

Delicious fish and chips and quite inexpensive. Tartar sauce is good. Keep in mind, they only have outdoor seating here (it's covered though). There's also a market with fresh fish, sauces, and more. read more

I'm not a big fish and chips person, but if I'm in the mood then this is the place I head. They're a bit expensive, but the quality is good. One time they had crab cakes as the daily special and those were some of the best I've had. They used dungeness crab and didn't skimp on it. The spices were tasty and complimented the crab almost perfectly. Go here if you love good quality fish and chips and don't mind spending a little more for it. I would give them 5 stars if they weren't so spendy. read more

Newman's is one of the best places in Eugene for fresh seafood either prepared or for you to take home. The sturgeon fish and chips is one of my favorites. In another life I was a quality assurance tech for a Japanese seafood company so I pay particular attention to freshness, storage, and sanitation. Newman's is 5* read more

OK, this happens regularly to me. At least once a week in the summer. Friend...."Do you wanna go to.......????" with that certain gleam in his eye. Me...."Umm, yeah, are you talking about?" and then I get that gleam too. 20 minutes later, we're at Newman's....without actually saying the name Newman's....just mutual excited gleams of mouth-watering happiness. I love this place!!!! The food is excellent and the people that work there are super friendly and full of smiles. Their fish n chips is damn good, and a GD good value, for what you get. Actual real chunks of real fish....caught in the ocean!!!! For $6.50, you get three huge chunky chunks of cod and a nice size portion of fries (can never finish the fries). I'm not rich, so I only get the cod, and I leave full and not wanting anything else significant for the rest of the day (for only $6.50), but lots of fried food does that to me. I tried the clam chowder once and was not impressed, but hey....it's Oregon and we're not on the coast. I don't really care for tartar or cocktail sauce, so I'm ever so grateful for the sliced lemon wedges they give you!!! and of course, they have malt vinegar too!!!! Thank you Newman's and everyone that works there....for being so awesomely awesome!!!!!!! A true Eugene institution!!! read more

Best fish & fries in town hands down! They have two locations one off of Coburg Road and another off of Willamette Street downtown. Next time you're in Eugene, be sure to try this place out! read more

There's a reason this place has been around for over 100 years. Can't recommend it enough. Great for grocery or to eat at the shop. Local institution. read more

The oyster lunch special at the Newman's on Willamette St. Is usually delicious, but today the fried coating was horrible! It was hard and gitty as though they had used cornmeal instead of flour in the batter. I could barely taste the oysters. I'll think twice before buying the oyster lunch special again. What a shame because it's always been good before. read more

Had to grab a quick take out lunch but dod not want fast food. Had the shrimp and fries and coleslaw. It was wonderful as were the people who helped me. read more

So I saw all of these stunning reviews and decided for my first trip purchasing lobster tails I would come here. This was exactly one year ago. I bought four of them for a party. What I later found out is that I paid four times (yes let me repeat that in case you didn't hear me right, FOUR TIMES) what I would have paid at any grocery store for what I've really come to taste is the same product. These are just regular old frozen tails. They aren't particularly large, just regular sized lobster tails. I quizzed the man working at Albertsons on Coburg. He actually used to work in Maine and says that his tails are from Maine, they were spectacular. Safeway on 18th and Donald were both excellent and also of northeast origin according to their seafood gurus. I felt so ripped off. I felt like they saw a sucker because I hadn't bought seafood before and hit me with their premium. I will not go back nor will I ever recommend them. I actually try to make it my job to tell everybody I know about this experience and their options when shopping for seafood here. When I went to the grocery store and saw the real price with my partner in tow (who I bought the first batch of tails for), I was embarrassed and ashamed of what I had paid at Newmans. I shouldn't ever feel that way after making a purchase. read more

I've been coming here for years and I've never been disappointed. Great prices for fresh caught fish hand dipped in breading. I usually order cod and/or clam chowder. I've spent many rainy evenings feasting on warm Newman's in their outdoor seating area. This place is special. read more

THE SALMON FISH AND CHIPS ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! i love this place.. i just wish i lived closer to it.. keep it up!!

In Eugene for the afternoon, didnt want another burger so saw Newmans on yelp and swam in. Has a true fish market up front so the smell of raw fish hits you quickly but was directed around the corner to a take out window. My order was quickly filled and off I went. They offer several varieties of fried fish and fries. Tried cod cuz it was cheapest, $7 for 3 pcs. Actually got 4 pcs but they were smaller fillets. Fish was very good. Had nice crispy texture. Fries were hot. Tartar sauce was tasty. Food was also wrapped in butcher paper for an old timey feel. Nice touch. Only reason 4 stars was smallish portion of fish. Will try again next visit. read more

Fish and chips!!! Yassssss. I eat here on the regular during Lent. I've tried all the options - and they are equally delicious!

Good food. Great service. We had the fried salmon and chips. Clam chowder thinner than New England's with great flavor but too many potatoes. Fried shrimp were supper taster. Lemonade not freshly squeezed though so skip that. read more

Went there for lunch on a Saturday afternoon while working in the area. Fairly short line outside to order food. Four groups in front of me. Very slow moving line. Nobody seemed to be in a hurry to place an order. Nobody seemed in a hurry to take orders. The lady taking the orders was very patient and pleasant to talk to and order from. I tried the smoked salmon fish and chips and added cod and halibut pieces so I could try them as well. Smoked salmon first piece was excellent. Second piece was decent? Third was a little too smoky tasting. Halibut was a little dry, but good. Cod was a little fishy tasting. Breading wasn't overly thick, but was done a little more than I prefer. Not burned, but heading towards it. Chips were very hot and fresh. They tasted good and were properly cooked. It was Saturday lunch and it seemed that several families with small kids got this place confused with a park. I almost squashed two of them as they suddenly decided to run right in front of me. Since I am used to watching out for the rug rats nobody got hurt. However, no parents seemed to be watching the kids as they played in the narrow walkway and right in front of the door to inside. Outside seating was full. I found room inside with a view of the fresh fish counter. There seemed to be a lot of local regulars buying fresh fish and the staff knew most of them well. Overall decent fish and chips. I would definitely return again. read more

Absolutely exceptional!!! I go there all the time. Cod and chips with two extra scallops is my favorite. Tarter sauce is amazing! Great fish market too. Only place I will go to get fresh fish for sushi. read more

Great lunch spot! Best fish and chips ever! Salmon was AWESOME!!!

I stop once a week at Newman's for lunch. Usually go to their store on Coburg Road. Their fish and chips are fantastic. I generally upgrade to halibut version. Occasionally buy fresh fish to take home but I find their fish a bit expensive. They Do have the best fresh fish in Eugene. read more

Amazing reliability and quality. Always the freshest fish, cooked to crisp perfection!Clam chowder is the best around.

I don't buy the fish and chips, but I do purchase--often--fish from the market to cook at home. I'd be lost without Newmans! I have never, in traveling around the country, seen another fish market with such excellent product (fresh, firm, tasty) and knowledgable folks behind the counter. There's no place like this in Portland! We're the lucky ones in Eugene. read more

I'm not a fish-and-chips person, but I'm a regular customer at the fresh fish counter. Product is exceptionally good and service is exemplary. read more

Just stopped in for some clams. Making clam chowder so they offered to dice the clams for us. Wow! The customer service was amazing and they had a great selection! Everything looked mouth watering fresh. Will definitely return. read more

I won't bother reiterating what others have said except this is how it's supposed to be. The places on the coast need to come here and take lessons about service, quality and value! Came here by accident because they have salt cod and had the daily special..wow! If you don't know what fresh, quality seafood is, go to Newman's and get educated. read more

Awesome halibut fish n chips and friendly service. A huge step above the old H salt shops. Can't wait to try their other menu items.

Love Newman's, I probably ate there 1-2 times a week when i lived there. they bread the fish no its not like a bunch of crunchy batter shell. So its moist and Delicious. I usually get the the salmon but they also have cod and halibut and usually other specials, calamari, stealhead etc. read more

I came here on Wednesday to get some sushi/sashimi grade salmon. What I was given wasn't the right texture, color, or flavor. It clearly wasn't meant to be eaten raw. It messed up my whole menu that night. Really disappointing and careless. read more

this is for the fish market part: on par with the quality you would find in a much bigger city. all kinds of choices. all very fresh. all very helpful people. I can't buy fish anywhere else. read more

The product was really good. Good value also. The delivery wasn't special at all, not quite soup nazi bad but they know they're good so tossing your oyster crackers on the counter to you without any thanks or smiles is apparently to be expected. read more

Great, great, great fish and chips: I tend to get either the special or the scallops. Usually crazy busy with almost no seating and annoying people who hang out for hours: call ahead and get it to go. Friendly staff. Cole slaw is awesome! read more

Best shrimp and chips I have ever had. Better than Spuds in Seattle.

By far the best fish and chips in town. Outside gets a little dirty and there are often too many flies buzzing around the outside trash but the food is amazing. Fresh and perfectly prepared. Even though their prices continue to climb ill continue to go back. Love it! read more

I ate here once in August and once in September. The fish was excellent both times. Fries are really good. I tried the cole slaw on the September visit, and it was also really good. My parents ordered the coconut prawns, and they were out of this world. Their ice tea was also good. Their few menu items allow for Newman's to create excellent quality products. I will definitely return. read more

What a great fish market! Always very fresh, and doesn't reek of old fish like many grocery stores meat sections. Their fish and chips are great too in the restaurant section! My favorite is when the oysters are on special. All very reasonably priced. read more

Very fresh fish. Great shrimp cocktail. Everything cooked perfectly. Would be 5 star except I would like to see more grilled selections.

Fish n chips are amazing! I can only rate the COD because it's the most affordable of the choice, but it's consistently good. I wish they gave a little bit bigger of a portion size but I'm not going to take away a star for that reason. read more
