My friend and I came here for a happy hour special a few weeks ago. They had $5 blood orange margaritas. It's a pretty small place, but has some nice outdoor tables for 2. The margarita was really good with a bit of spice. I got some fries too since I was having a drink and they were great. read more

Red Perch - Australian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Warning! If you eat this sandwich, you'll think about it everyday until you get your next fix. It's just what you want in a fish sandwich. Delicate white dish, crispy fried outside, soft bun, homemade sauce and American cheese. The textures and flavors are perfect. Paired with some of the best fries you'll ever have. You've been warned. The margarita is on tap, so take that for what it's worth. Not sure I'd get it again. But that sandwich... read more

Fish and chips were tasty, although the fish was a bit overcooked making the breading overdone. The service was timely and courteous. Family business vibe - small and simple. Good place to go for a quick bite with friends or to have a few pints. read more

I ordered the Katsu Chicken Tacos and they were to die for! Quick and easy service for upscale delights! I'll definitely be back to try your authentic fish-N-Chips read more

Good food, good drink, good service, good atmosphere, hilarious wallpaper. We've been avoiding fish joints in this region, for fairly obvious reasons; what's affordable isn't good, and what's good isn't affordable. Red Perch not only strikes a balance, they exceed expectation. By keeping portions under control and handling their proteins with respect and care, and offering novel beverage options and ever-changing fish specials, they keep it interesting and simple at the same time. A fun environment, clean store and cheerful staff top it all off. If you're a "coastie" homesick for a fish meal that you can trust, this is your jam! Highest recommendation. read more

So first, this place is not the easiest to find. It's nowhere near where maps says it is. It's on the upper level of the most northeast building of Sylvan Supply. Find Radish Kitchen, keep going, find the stairs, through the corridor and on your left. The menu seems to change often which I think is great. Today the board had several additions and deletions from the other pics posted and what's on the website. The owners are there and interacting with the customers making sure everyone is having a good time which I thought was nice. And now to the fish (cod) and chips. Absolutely fantastic. The batter is really thin and light, almost tempura like. Super crispy and offset by the soft perfectly cooked cod. I didn't see the chips have a double fry but they tasted like they did. I'm guessing they were par cooked before or they used some other form of magic because they were amazing. Dark brown crunchy and soft. Genius. My only complaint is cost. I went for lunch because I work in midtown and the portion size (for lunch) is perfect. It's about what you would equate to a kid's meal. Is it the best fish and chips I've ever had? Definitely top 5. Is it worth $20 after tax and tip? Maybe. I'll be back but it'll be an every few months lunch instead of a 3 times a week lunch. A lunch special would make this my new favorite place. (Hint, hint) read more

Red Perch - Cod and Chips - Australian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I was so happily surprised how amazing the fish and chips were! The place is tiny, but I was able to get a seat and since it was happy hour, got the fish and chips with a pint for like $13. It was so fresh and the portion was huge! read more

A friend and I were in the Sylvan Park area and were in the mood for something fresh and yummy. Redperch was the perfect place to satisfy our needs. Overall, this place is a definite 'must return'. {parking/location}: Given that the restaurant is located in the center of a plaza, there was plenty of parking around. We also went during lunchtime, so it was not that crowded, but I think that it would be great parking at any time. {service/food} The host was able to seat us right away and gave a full run-down of the menu and their personal favorites. I opted for the beer battered cod fish and my friend got the fish tacos. Both orders were large and came with plenty of fries (my favorite part). The fish was fresh and well seasoned. The perfect fish and chips combo. {ambiance/is it clean?} The diner can be considered small, I would not recommend going with a large party, unless you guys are willing to sit at separate tables. There were outside seating options as well. Everything was clean during our lunchtime visit. read more

Red Perch - Cod and Chips - Australian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The best fish & chips are here at Red Perch. The restaurant is small, with tables and bar seating inside and a few areas with tables outside. The atmosphere is laid-back and friendly - and perfect if you are looking for fast quality. I prefer restaurants with small menus. These eateries have honed their craft to perfection and focus on a few dishes rather than spreading themselves thin with a sprawling menu. That's true with Red Perch. In addition to the fish, they have shrimp, calamari, ahi and salmon poke, and salads, but I'm there for the fish, and it's consistently perfect! The batter on the fish is light and crispy, and the cod is always delicious. And the fries? They're the real deal - perfectly crisp and the perfect amount. My wife usually orders fish and chips with the catch of the day, and it's always been excellent. The staff does a great job on all levels, describing the menu items, especially the flavor, and texture of the day's catch. Also, because it's smaller, they clean the tables quickly between guests and keep things moving. If I had to nitpick and scrape the barrel here, I'd say I wish the ketchup were refrigerated. It's more of a personal preference and certainly nothing that takes away from how awesome this place is. If you're a fish & chips enthusiast and want a chill spot to grab a bite in Nashville, do yourself a favor and check out Red Perch in Sylvan Park. read more

Delicious! Literally the best fish sandwich I've ever had. Food is always fresh and consistent. Highly recommend the fish filet sandwich, fish and chips and tacos. Also I have to say the slaw is so yummy and refreshing. Very nice with all the fresh herbs. read more

I order the special for the day. It was haddock with fries. It was delicious. The tarter sauce is very unique and amazing. The employees were all very nice. The atmosphere is really chill. This isn't necessarily a sit down experience but if you want great fish as a quick bite to eat this is the place. read more

Gave this relatively new "Aussie fish and chips" joint a try tonight. Two people cost was $55 for: clam chowder, fish and chips of the day, ahi poke salad (medium spice), and a canned alcoholic cider, and tip. Fish and chips were made with flounder today. Four nice-sized slabs with lemon slice and unique tartar on side and malt vinegar on the table. Since it's what they tout on their storefront, one would expect this to ROCK .... And it does not disappoint! Fluffy/crispy batter, perfect and flavorful. Fries on the side are coated, then fried, for almost a double-fried crunchy crisp-tastic texture. Chowder: very good with plentiful clams, generous bacon, nice allotment of potato. Warm and comforting with good mouthfeel, nice portion also included home style sourdough bread slices. For $8, prolly the best deal we scored. Again, spice was nice, not overly salty, very even. Ahi poke salad is a top choice per Yelp (and something we *usually* love) but was a big disappointment. Too much seaweed salad! Ahi sauce was good but sunk to bottom, mostly dipped into seaweed--would prefer it on the side in one of those tartar sauce cups. Quick pickle was good. Rice was perfectly sticky and well-sized portion. Edamame would be way more enticing if warmed a bit, was jarringly cold. I guess I was mistakenly hoping for more of a poke bowl instead of so much seaweed salad. Next time: wanna try the shrimp bahn mi sandwich. Looked good on a plate that passed by. And, the lumpia. Atmosphere/pros: Three small tables inside, two small tables outside, two long counters for inside seating (not a place for groups). Can sit kitchen side and watch coos, if you want. Cute individual water dispenser at tables. Cool music. Industrial decor vibe. SUPER ATTENTIVE servers who genuinely care that you like the food and have what you need. Very welcoming. Seemed clean and cared for. Cons: VERY HARD TO FIND. We were LOOKING for it (it's upstairs ABOVE RADISH) and would not have just happened by as street traffic...we suggest adding more prominent signage out on that patio-ish area facing the doors of competing businesses Radish, punk wok, bearded iris, secret ramen shop. And, the menu board could be neatened up, with better groupings of foods. With options crammed in every corner, it was kind of hard to read and make selections. Table side silverware and napkins were convenient and looked good, but not covid-friendly, as we had to paw through to dig out chowder spoons and touch multiple napkins. Red Perch gives fair impression of their fishy fare, but I'm not sure what's really "Aussie"about this place. Prices seem reasonable. Hope it can survive with this kind of awkward placement in this hipster dining complex. read more

Red Perch is a slightly upscale (but still grounded) restaurant with a new branch in Sylvan Supply off of Charlotte Avenue. They specialize in fish and chips with some more Asian influences (i.e.: banh mi's, lumpia, poke, and katsu additions on the menu). I ordered the fish of the day with chips, and the fish came out freshly fried, crispy, and piping hot. The pieces of fish were huge, and I didn't manage to finish the entire meal (despite some really delicious tartar sauce on the side). You know a fish and chips place is legitimate when they have house tartar sauce in addition to malt vinegar for your order. I do think fried fish is still a pretty heavy meal, so come hungry and often. The prices can range here, but the fish of the day is around $16 (depending on the market value of the fish) with whole fish entrees ranging in the $28 range. I find it slightly expensive, but the tastes are always on point for the punch to the wallet. I found their amount of seating pretty tough. They have a small wrap around porch with a few two people cafe style tables, some outdoor larger party tables, and just a few seating options inside. This might be a better takeout location if you're in a larger group. read more

Great location, easy to get to. Friendly staff, welcoming, clean. I ordered the Mahi Mahi and it was delicious. I also ordered the cocktail, it was awesome! My husband and mother-n-law ordered the fish and chips, it did have a flavor they weren't fond of in the breading. The fish was excellent and the fresh fries were yummy! Loved our visit and will be back read more

This is one of the best restaurants in Nashville ever! I have lived here for a year and have guests in town and figured I would try a new spot. This is probably the best dinner I have had all year. So fresh, not oily, casual, and delicious! Our favorites were the burger, fish sandwich, and the fish and chips! The fries and salad are super addictive as well! The fish is better than any I have had on vacation on an island. The rotating cocktail for the month was not something I would normally ever order but we ended up going back to get another because it was delicious! Thank you!! read more

Outstanding I was raised by a food snob, so I come by it honestly Growing up in Chicago and traveling internationally for work quite a bit has ruined me I've lived in Nashville for two years and have always felt I was missing the really great food I've enjoyed over the years Good is not great It's fine, but once you've had great you will never be satisfied with good I read about the Red Perch a month ago and couldn't wait to try it The proprietor is from Australia and is an experienced chef From what I have read, he and his wife opened up this place as a pursuit of his passion You know what happens when the stakeholders are doing something they love? Yep... First off the place was lively, well lit and immaculate after ordering, I sat at the counter and watched the orders ahead of mine being prepared I came for the fish and chips but deviated when I saw the fresh, whole yellow tail. The whole fried fish was dressed in a sit fried, bok chou and mushroom combo It had a light sauce that had just the right about of kick The fish was accompanied by some steamed rice Many people shy away from a whole fish since it's a little bit of work. I don't mind as long as the fish is extremely fresh which this was This was one of the best meals I have had in a while Anyone who knows me knows where next You don't go to a place known for their fish and chips and not sample it The cod was lightly breaded and the chips were nice and crispy (Flounder was also available) The new space is casual with counter ordering Beer, wine and a selection of cocktails are available I saw several poke bowls and a few Bahn me go out to customers The clam chowder looked great as well Not sure what I will get next time All I know is that this place will be in my regular rotation It seems like the enthusiasm from the proprietor had rubbed off on his staff Every since person appeared happy to be at work During this frantic holiday season where we are all wary of this pandemic and the damage it's done it's so refreshing to find a gem like the red perch read more

The service was good, the staff was friendly, but there was limited seating, and the fish was over cooked. The flavor of the batter was very delicious but the fish was dried out from being overcooked. The fries and the Cesar salad made up for the fish. read more

A simply perfect hidden gem in Nashville. I can't seem to quit the Ahi poke bowl, and why should I? I convinced my fiancé to go with me (not a fish guy) by telling him about the burger, and now he can't find a better one around town. Their fish and chips is off the chain too!

2 stars due to the price and amount of food/fish they provide. The fish was perfect but they only provided two for $17.50. They have shrimp but don't have a fish and shrimp combo. So we had to order the fish plate and shrimp plate to get both. We paid about $40 for food and left hungry. read more

Finally had lunch here last week. Food was fantastic. I had the traditional fish and chips, my friends had the fish of the day with chips and the chowder. All were well made. The batter on the fish was light but crispy which is a change from most heavy grease soggy coatings! Started with the anchovies and lumpia both great and fun in the case of the anchovies. Next time I will get a poke bowl which I've heard are great. Small with limited seating inside. Tables on the breezeway and in the courtyard. Only downside is the stairs and I didn't see a lift to the second floor? Could be I need to explore. read more

Excellent fish and chips, a serving was more than I could eat. The only drawback is we went there when my husband had a broken leg. Although there is a ramp to get in it is not convenient, A long walk to get there. We will be back now that he's no longer wearing the awkward boot. Again the food was wonderful! read more

Pre-ordered an Australian sausage rolls from their pop-up... OMG! The best sausage roll I've ever had. The outside was perfectly flaky and so fresh while the inside was hearty and not one bit salty.

Red Perch - Chicken Katsu Tacos - Australian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We live in Nolensville and were looking for some new places outside of our area. Actually, it was the owners' story that sold us. Two people following a dream. Off we went! The restaurant is immaculate, modern, and very welcoming. I especially appreciated the counter seating where you can oversee the kitchen prep area. We grabbed a table next to the windows and noticed a couple seated outside on a small patio (w/portable heaters). The food? Awesome. The tender calamari comes with a delicate (panko?) crust with a creamy surprise waiting at the bottom. Dig for it! Nice portion. The fish filet sandwich lived up to its many favorable Yelp reviews. The white fish was perfectly coated and prepared. The fresh, homemade tartar sauce and American cheese were a perfect complement. Well worth the $12 price tag. A generous portion of fries was included. My wife ordered the fish & chips which were remarkable. The portion is more than ample, the breading delicate, and the fish was fresh & firm. These rivaled those we had years earlier in London. Service? Best ever. You order and pay at the counter. Within minutes after getting situated at our table our first food arrived, hot & fresh from the kitchen. The other food soon followed the same way. We look forward to returning to try the whole fish (sounds awesome), the tacos (the table next to us had them - they were a work of art), and a few appetizers. read more

I couldn't find this place at first but it's located on the second floor of the building up a silver staircase tucked away in the corner.It was absolutely delicious!!!! Can't recommend this place enough. Everything was FRESH. Best fish and chips I've ever had. They make the tarter sauce fresh from scratch *chefs kiss*. Grilled shrimp was so good.

I tried this spot out for the first time, and WOW. I was impressed. I have heard others rave about this spot, and it definitely lived up to they hype. Service was quick and easy with a great menu. It is mainly seafood based, but they do have a chicken option. We went for the shrimp banh mi and chicken Katsura tacos. Both were SO good. There is plenty of free parking in a lot behind the building. They have great happy hour deals, marking down a couple of their menu options with a pint of beer. Definitely check out this spot, can't wait to be back for their fish and chips!! read more

This restaurant is great for fish and chips! Nice and crispy all around. The fries were seasoned well and flavorful. The deep fried coating on the fish was a bit thick but tasty and crispy. We were just driving through town and decided to stop here. Service was fast and friendly. Portions were large enough to share. We sat outside because the weather was perfect! Nice place to have lunch. I'm sure the rest of the menu is good as well but I can definitely say their fish and chips are amazing! read more

Nice place but not quite what I was expecting. Rather than being an Aussie fish'n'chip shop as I had thought, it's a cafe which sells Australian styled fish and chips. It's a pleasant place with bar space and a few tables with fairly uncomfortable chairs. It's nice and clean in the main area, and the toilets are also well kept. The staff we spoke with were friendly and efficient although my wife's fish sandwich was left on a counter for several minutes, in very close proximity to other diners. I ordered cod and chips. My first impression was 'where is it all'? But after eating it I realised I was applying the American dietary criterion of too-much-is-never-enough. As it turns out, the Aussie sized portion was perfect, as I was fully satisfied, and it didn't leave me feeling that I had just eaten a bowling ball. The cod was perfect, the batter was excellent and the chips were very nice. My wife ordered the fish filet sandwich. She said it was 'okay', but by comparison to Maccas Filet'o'fish, she said it was a $6 sandwich, not the $12 job that arrived. The addition of Aussie Chicken Salt was a great touch, as was the malt vinegar. Top marks! We also ordered coffee which was very nice but they had no cream. Still, we enjoyed the experience. To be more like the Australian equivalent, Red Perch would need to sell potato scallops, Tasmanian scallops and battered savs. But that's maybe me being just a little unrealistic and relying overly on nostalgia. The bottom line is it's a good place to stop for a quick feed of great fish'n'chips, and we will be back! read more
