    Famous fish sandwich
    Audrey A.

    Sheeeesshhhhhhh. I don't really feel like any other word can describe the food. Wish they were closer, but thank goodness they are not or i would be here weekly. Had the fish sandwich--soooo good ya'll.

    Bunnell, Florida is a smaller community that sits somewhere between Daytona Beach and St. Augustine (pretty much halfway between the two better known cities). Bunnell certainly has grown, but it still holds its smaller community feel to it. If you are passing through, make sure you stop by the Bantam Chef and grab their famous fish sandwich, you won't regret it (of course, unless you are allergic to seafood). I would definitely recommend checking Bunnell out.

    Finally got to stop in. There were a few people ahead of me but they were so fast. I got the fish sandwich it was delicious. Next time I'll ask for extra onions and pickles.

    We love this place! $15 fish sandwich with fries and coleslaw. Enough food for my husband and I to share. We drive from Ormond just to get the fish sandwich. Staff is always friendly. Get here early as it gets really busy, but so worth it if you have to wait. Outside dining only, under the huge awning.

    I'm not gatekeeping this one any longer. Tucked Bunnell about 12 minutes off of I95 is an institution that has fed locals for over 30 years. I discovered it while just browsing every restaurant on Google maps cruising virtually down I95. Upon reading reviews and seeing several guest photos, I saw that their fish sandwich was their biggest seller. A stand alone structure with ample parking and plenty of outdoor seating. There was a line when I arrived around 3pm on a Wednesday. I had to try their epic fish sandwich. Stacked about six inches high, their fried white fish sandwich is absolutely out of this world. At the time of eating, the sandwich was going for about $10, an absolutely steal. If you're ever in the area... shoot even if you're within an hours drive... make the time to eat here! Please! It'll change you. It's not just a delicious fish sandwich; it is a throw back nostalgic experience. A true Florida hidden gem.

    For those of us who have lived here for years this is famous comfort food They used to be $4.25 back in the day, but they are double + that and still worth it! Yes, it's a hole in the wall but if you love good fried fish sandwich your tastebuds will rejoice! I prefer my fish ALTW (all the way). Lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and their delicious tartar! Sometimes I go plain with tartar on the side if you got a decent drive home, but we love eating it hot! Also, try the broccoli bites! Sooo good!!!

    Everything is good great customer service too

    Famous Fish Sandwich (SO BIG)!!

    My husband and I have heard so many reviews on the Famous Fish Sandwich at The Bantam Chef we had to try it out. We went tonight and as we were heading there it started to rain, I told my husband no worries they have covered outdoor seating. When we got there a few people in line but were served very quickly. I ordered our sandwiches 3 Famous Fish with 1 without lettuce (mine). The lady behind counter was nice and gave me a ticket with our number on it, our order number. My husband waited for our sandwiches as I got us a seat. They do only have picnic tables which comes with their cute little kitty ‍. The surroundings could be a little questionable especially at night but their sandwiches are the bomb!!! Or the fried fish is, the sandwich is so big I can't open my mouth wide enough to take a bite so I just took pieces of fish off the sandwich. I ended up taking home a sandwich which I will eat for the next 2 days!! Yes we will definitely go back again!!!

    Food is ok, not great, last time I went i could not recognize the oysters. They where small and over cooked. The dinners are mostly fries.

    Great food and service. The food was exactly as I ordered , the people were friendly and I will go…read moreback.

    This is another restaurant we found by accident that turned into a hidden gem for us…read more We were in the area and wanted to have lunch and as it turns out, Fish N Chix was in the same business complex we were already in. We both ordered the fish dinner, added French fries, baked beans, Mac & cheese and coleslaw slaw for our sides. I can easily say the fish filets were absolutely great, fried golden brown, seasoned perfectly with just the perfect amount of breading. They were about the best I've ever eaten anywhere. All the sides were excellent although the Cole slaw, fresh and creamy, was a bit sweet for me. The baked beans, Mac n cheese and fries were great. They have about every sauce you can add to fish, hot, hotter, malted vinegar, tartar sauce. The owner handed me their own version of hot sauce which was excellent. Ask for it, it's worth it. It has a sweet beginning then heat. The counter service was excellent, helpful, friendly and since it was our first time, she helped us quite a bit. Fish N Chix is definitely worth finding, the food is just so good, fresh and priced reasonably for the quality. There were many take out orders being processed while we ate in the restaurant. It isn't super large but it's very clean and bright inside. On this visit, Fish N Chix did a fantastic job. We will definitely be back. Nice work Fish N Chix.

    Excellent service, very nice upper deck outside with ocean views and the best corned beef hash…read moreever! It was a rainy Thursday morning 10:30am. Not many people out n about so I couldn't really get a vibe for what the place would be like when it gets busy. But it was a great spot for breakfast and we sat on the rooftop area inside so it was covered from the rain, but I can't wait to go back someday for the outside ocean front deck, even closer to the water. I ordered the Irish Benedicte with hash that is homemade on premise with slow roasted corned beef. Very tasty. The side of Home fries were thinly sliced and I had gravy added to that so it was tasty too. Our server was excellent, Trevor was a very nice guy and he recommended we come back for the all you can eat ribs. I wish I was staying in town longer and I would. I'll make a point to come back next visit.

    Our original plan was to go to another restaurant down the street but didn't allow outdoor seating…read moretill after 5pm! So we decided to go to Oceanside in Flagler Beach which we honestly don't visit this location but the Ormond Beach location. That being said their top seating viewing the ocean was awesome!! They do not have happy hour as does the Ormond Beach restaurant does. Our server was ok but he did not compare to the Ormond Beach location...not even close!! My husband ordered the Baja burger with fries and I ordered the Cuban press with fries. My sandwich was good, my husband really enjoyed his burger. I think my low was our server never checked on us to make sure we didn't have any problems or that we actually got what we ordered. I must say customer service was very much better at the Ormond Beach location!! Would have been a 5* if wasn't for the server.
