Been visiting for a couple of years. Especially like the fries. We like to take order home to eat. Yummy fish and chips. Only complaint is that I'd like larger serving of Cole slaw. They get busy in evenings so check your order to make sure it's complete before you leave the restaurant. Enjoy! read more

Im from down the road in Red Bluff, the good food challenged capital of the country. (Seriously. Good food in Red Bluff is a joke). Was super excited to hear about Portside. Called a buddy from Anderson and we met up for dinner. The restaurant is visually pleasing and simple, and very clean. Menu is visible from any point, easy to read and in a logical format. Nice selection of seafood combos and fried sides including fried cheese bread. The sandwiches look fantastic. They are actually two large sliders on what looked like a brioche bun. I plan to try them next visit. I ordered the two piece fish and chicken combo and substituted fried zucchini for the fries. There was enough food for 2 diners. 3 pieces of fish, 2 chicken strips and about 6 large zucchini wedges and a small coleslaw. All the food was up to par with my expectations and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Even though you go to the counter to order, we had 5 visits to our table by 3 different staff. Hey owners and staff, can you please open up shop in Red Bluff? read more

Best people in the work work here! They really care about their customers and if it ain't right they make it right. Only place you want to go in the county for fish and chips. I hear they will be opening a tap house right next door very soon. Can't wait! read more

My husband and I used to love Portside Fish & Chips. It used to be Delicious, and even though it was somewhat expensive, we would splurge a couple times a month, even during COVID-19. The last TWO times, however, the fish was soggy with the deep fry oil‍ We thought the first instance of soggy fwas an anomaly, so we tried it again. Nope, soggy. I think it's possible the oil was at too low a temperature. Regardless, it's too expensive a meal to spend a lot of $$ and get soggy fish, bluck read more

Good food, very generous portions, friendly staff and very clean restaurant. The mix and match combo with 2 pieces of fish, chips, slaw plus add on (I chose scallops) was wayyy too much for me. Happy to take the leftovers home for 2nd lunch. Fish pieces are huge. Food came out fast and hot. Bring your appetite! Family friendly. read more

Food was amazing the friend fish was really good if you love fried sea food go check it out

This was so yummy and the staff was so sweet! You must order the Fried Cheese bread! We will make the 3 hour drive back just for that!!

This is the best place for seafood. The staff is very friendly, the place is very clean, and the price is just right. I've eaten there several times and I will go back read more

great service, excellent food, and very clean. The lady was very nice and with a great attitude. It was also amazing how many different walks of life came in. It was steady customers walking in while we were there which is always a great sign. read more

Always friendly and food is always fresh. I'd say the only down fall is at times it can get soggy and I've had one batch of fish that didn't live up to expectations but that's compared to the countless times the food has been on point. read more

Stopped by and got the mix and match with popcorn shrimp. The food was so good, especially the fried cheese bread! The ladies working there are so sweet and provided great customer service even while swamped with orders. read more

Delicious and plentiful. A little pricey - 2 fish basket for $14.99. Super nice employees.

Absolutely love thier food! Tried the special and the scallops basket so far. Both were amazing. Very friendly service. They even walked my food out to my car after I ordered and my child fell asleep. read more

Meh, yeah meh, I've experienced better, describes this restaurant well. The hush puppy's had good flavor but were under cooked. the fish we ordered was not cleaned and very greasy and no flavor but smelled very fishy. Odd not cleaned fish with no flavor yet smelled bad; perhaps the oil was dirty. Now the calamar was slimy and not cooked properly. Note the calamar is pressed into steaks cut and fried. Same smell as the fish yet it did have a bit of flavor. I would pass on Portside and will in the future.. Lunch was over $30.00 and we left the fish, most of the calamar but ate most of the hush puppy's. Sorry no manga here. read more

So good! Tastes incredibly fresh and always super hot. Customer service is great as well. I can't wait to try more than the fish n chips!

Some of the best fish and prawns in Redding. Good price and portions. Give it a try! The

Been wanting Fish and Chips for a while , called in my order when I was in town , I wasn't disappointed . I live 200 miles away but made sure I got the fish this trip , regular shop now I think read more

Quality seafood quality frying quality service with a smile. Clean shop. Good crowd but food came out quick. Got a whole menu I want to try. Will be back read more

Absolutely great food! The lady that runs it very friendly and will actually take the time to talk to you and makes suggestions when asked

Excellent food, excellent portions, excellent service! Came up from Southern California to visit my cousin that just moved to Redding from Texas and was lucky to find this little gem. Wish we had one near us. read more

See all

This is the second time we have been here. Both times the fish and fries were so yummy! The staff are friendly as well. They have a large menu that we are going to love exploring in future visits! We definitely be coming back here and recommend this restaurant! read more

This was my first time there. Excellent food and serving sizes were huge. The 2 ladies running the place that day were super friendly and working really hard to make sure their customers were happy. I will be supporting this business read more

Delicious batter, we call in our order for pick up and it's always ready and still hot. Employees are super friendly as well.

Great place for fish and chips! The fries are the most awesome fries ever and the fish is crispy and perfectly cooked. Service is fast and always comes with a smile read more

Delicious! Ordered the 8-piece family meal with deep fried pickles and hush puppies. Everything was perfect and completely hit the spot! Will be back to try new things! Thank you to all those who work there for wearing masks! read more

Amaazziinnnggg. Can't say enough about this place. It's a Diamond in the rough! Best fish and chips around for sure.

The food is still good, but, the service has gone to hell. I ordered two cups of clam chowder with my order. The chowder was not in the bags when I got home. I called the store and got the usual question. Am I coming back to get it. No!!! It costs gas to go back. So they always say if I give them my name then they will give it to me on my next visit. Like I'm going to go back there anytime soon. I asked them to refund the $10.98 to my card. They claim they can't. Bull Crap! There is a tip line on the card receipt. You write in a tip and they re-run the card. So, yes, they can refund that amount. They just won't. Sorry Portside, lost a customer today. read more

This was my 1st time eating at Portside Fish & Chips and yummy!! My family and I tried the fish and chips, coleslaw, fried artichokes, hush puppies, and the most delicious fried cheese bread ever!! Servies was great ... I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be back again for sure!! read more

Have not eaten there in awhile. When it first opened it was really good. Tonight's fish and prawns was a disappointment. The cocktail sauce was a flavorless gelatin. It was literally so hard it was like jello. The fish and prawns had no real flavor. The prices have also gone up. I get that but the food tonight was not worth the price. read more

I do like their fish and chips and their sweet potato fries. The clam chowder was just ok, was hoping it was better. Just note that fried food is greasy! read more

Was pleasantly surprised. Staff was super nice and very quick. Food was really good. We got both scallops and fish. Comes out fresh and very hot but delicious. You can actually taste fish and not just breading. If your looking for a super cheap cardboard meal don't go here but if you want good fish I was pleased. read more

Got reheated fish and chips, I think. Very bready, chewy. Not at all crunchy or crisp. Frozen fish. I think they just microwave and re heat. Low quality. Go to McDonald's instead. They are relying on people never coming back. A one time road stop! read more

Tried this for the first time this week based on reviews and overall were pleased! We had the 3 piece fish and chips but substituted zucchini sticks for the potatoes. The fish portions were quite large as were the zucchini sticks so we took half home! The basket includes cole slaw in a cup which was good but a bit too much dressing for our taste. We've been trying for years to find a fish and chips replacement after Buz's in Redding closed and have yet to find one... they were a tough act to follow! The quality of the fish here, flavor and quantity is good but was slightly overcooked which can happen sometimes but won't stop us from trying this place again. As far as atmosphere, it's a small place that feels more like a fast food place. You order at the counter, collect your sauces, silverware, etc yourself and then they bring your food to your table. We noticed while we were waiting for our food to come that most of the customers were getting their food to go so I think this would be a great place to stop on the way home from work for take out. All in all, good food, reasonable price clean environment L read more

We stopped in to check it out on the 3rd day of opening, we've been back at least 10 times since. This is just what we needed in this area; The food is Fantastic, like our own little Gold Mine in Shasta county read more

Hopped off the freeway, and thought we would give it a try. We were worried about fish in such a land locked area. The food was all delicious, and the service was great! Very friendly staff. There is no doubt why it was full of locals! read more

The food here is amazing! We live pretty close and highly recommend it if you love seafood!!!

Best fish and chips place I have ever had! Def worth the money you spend. The fish is good in size might want to start off small until you understand the food portions. The fries are great and not your standard fish and chips style fries (they are way better) the onion rings are bomb as well and the calamari was was too thick for my liking. read more

I have been here 3 times now and I have yet to be disappointed. Tonight we had the fish and chips. Fish has always been very good I like the thick chips very rustic and good. Tonight we tried the onion rings..... They are large and wonderful!!!!! We will be loyal patrons. read more

Excellent fish and chips. Friendly owner. Portside is on my regular lunch rotation!

My wife and I went to portside fish and chips in anderson today and I have to tell you I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food we ordered. We will be returning on a regular basis when we are in anderson. Best fish and chips, deep fried mushrooms, and deep fried artichokes I've ever had. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had driven past the for ar least a year saying we should try it I'm so glad we finally did. read more
