I picked up takeout from The Fish & Chip in South Burlington while visiting town for work. The restaurant has a very unassuming exterior but has its own private parking lot. There was a large family eating inside when I showed up to pick up my food but overall this seems like a takeout place. The menu was a mixture of Greek, American, and seafood. Not what I would have expected in South Burlington. I ordered the clam strips combo with substituted onion rings, battered mushroom, and poutine. The clam strips were disappointing, as it tasted mostly like batter and the majority of the box was filled with tiny little pieces. The fried mushrooms were good and had an interesting breading, almost like a panko style that made them feel light and airy. The best of the three dishes was the poutine: thick-cut fries covered in gravy and melted cheese. Delicious. If you need some quick takeout from a restaurant with a varied menu, try The Fish & Chip the next time you're in town. read more

Unassuming spot but we truly enjoyed the food so much! 1. Cheesy Garlic Bread ($6.95) Loved this! Owner was so generous with the cheese. 2. Cod fish platter ($18.95) If you want to try other seafood, get the platter! It comes with shrimp and scallops. I love how fresh everything was but the scallops might be a bit overfried. 3. House special ($22.95) This comes with the haddock fish - really fresh and delicious. Overall, we preferred the cod fish but they were both good. read more

This place is not much to look at, in a parking lot behind a dunkin donuts, and the ambiance is worn out...But...if you want a good fish and chip to bring home, these guys are very consistent with perfectly fried fish and good, potatoey fries. The cole slaw is creamy. The tarter sauce is sweetish (there is also a spicey version that I did not try). I also got the rise pudding which was simple and tasty. In summary, great food, relatively cheap, and go for take out. Oh yeah, very friendly and accommodating. read more

Inauspicious is an understatement. But don't let looks deceive you. The Fish & Chips are fantastic. Fries & or Onion rings do not disappoint. We tried both the cod & haddock. Both were delicious and not too different in price. Cod was maybe a bit more appealing. Haddock has become the white fish of New England. Service was friendly, efficient and helpful. Seemed to be a well run 2-horse show. read more

I had the fish and chips. It was great. My friend had that and the clam chowder and he said the chowder was great also. The server was fantastic and food was brought out very fast. The place is located back in a side and you cannot see it from the road. It may not look the greatest on the outside but it is worth coming in. It appeared some folks were ordering take out. read more

Food was great; a very wide selection of options but we went for two varieties of fish and chips plus a clam chowder and a Greek salad. It was all very good and the service was really great despite just being the owner on her own. She's a boss and it was slow on the night we went so we had a nice time talking after dinner. read more

Thank you to all those posted positive reviews. I would not have found this restaurant without them. This is the real deal. A small hole in the wall fish and chip place with great service and great created on premises food. read more

The Fish & Chip - Photo of the house special with fish and chips on the rings, shrimp and Greek salad. - Fish & Chips Near Me - South Burlington, Vermont

Amazing place if you can find it! Tucked behind another building, this is the best fish I've found in the area. I have had the fish and chips (cod) on several occasions and it's always delicious. The cod's breading has a really good spice mix, and the fish has been perfectly cooked every time I've visited. They get the fish really tender and crisp up the breading perfectly, without overcooking the fish. The owner is amazingly kind and the food comes out quickly, even when the place is busy. The fries are crispy, as you'd expect with fish and chips and compliment the fish really well. They're super generous with condiments. Everything is very fresh, and you can tell it's all made to order. The pricing is competitive and well worth some of the best fried fish I've ever had. Don't let the other reviews fool you, there's nothing sketchy about this place. read more

Do not let looks deceive you. One of the BEST fish and chips I've ever had. The cod was flavorful and not overly battered. The fries? Crispy. We also ordered calamari and it was delicious. The service was great. They were out of some drinks and menu items but what they did have was amazing. In terms of the ambiance....i would like to leave a note to the owner: the food was amazing; however, the establishment itself could use some renovation. If it weren't for the positive Yelp reviews, one could easily mistake this place as unkept and lifeless. I'd recommend to get rid of the dark tint on the windows, buy some plants, and find other ways to add "life" to this establishment. I think it has a lot of potential but it needs some aesthetic work. Overall my experience? 9/10. read more

I had heard great things about this place and decided to try it for myself. I love a good fried fish and chips; I am a bit picky, however, having grown up in an area where fish and chips are a staple and I have certain expectations as a result. 1. I hate beer battered fish because all you get is thick batter and little fish, which is usually dried out because the batter takes too long to fry up. They do a much lighter batter coating here that is perfect. 2. I prefer Haddock to Cod, but will eat both. They have Haddock and you can order it grilled versus fried If you're more health conscious. 3. Prices are excellent. 4. The fried mushrooms were spot on as well. We took most home and then reheated them in the air fryer and they crisped up as well as when they were fresh. I HIGHLY recommend getting your fried food fix on here. You won't regret it. read more

Good fish and chips! Hard to find location and seems sketchy, but the food was very good read more

Short Version: Go here, make sure you get the spicy tartar sauce, big portions, awesome. Long Version: "The Fish & Chip?" Try "The Fish & Chip & all things fried, crispy & delicious!" We don't live far from here, and kept driving by but never stop in. I grew up eating the fish and chips, splitting time in PQ, so when we finally saw the menu, it was a Cod Platter, Fish Tacos and Poutine night. Little did we know, everything comes with fries! My wife and I made it about halfway through the order before tapping out... portion size is not an issue here. Gripes and complaints? Maybe things were a little oily, depending on your preferences. Tacos had a garden of cabbage on them, but let's face it - at my age, I need the greenery. I moved it. Cabbage is pretty cooperative. It wasn't an issue for us, and hardly worth thinking about. If you needed that itch scratched, that's all I got. Now, the real stuff... Fish Tacos: Crispy, clean, not dry at all, with plenty of greens if you want them. I pared it down, loaded them with the salsa that they come with, stacked on that spicy tartar sauce and loved it. Three to an order, when two is enough but the third you just can't say no to. Fire-toasted flour tortillas? Ding. Hit me. Cod Platter: Cod, shrimp, scallops, house battered and fried. Just like the cod in the tacos - really a light batter, crispy, golden brown. A good distance from the dark, bready stuff seen elsewhere, kind of a half-step to tempura almost. Not fishy at all in the filet, sweet shrimp and scallops, and that spice from the house tartar cuts the fry-fest. Poutine: Speak to me of the spuds, my friends. The fries here are the 1/2" square cuts, hefty and fried crispy/dark. As a side dish with malt vinegar, I love it. But head nord de la frontiere and we're home. Not the fru-fru Chef's Interpretation of Poutine... and not American Gravy Fries. Poutine. Heavy heaping helping of fries, real squeaky cheese curds, blazing hot, rich gravy over the top melting the curds down. It's ever dish of poutine you got at St. Hubert or in Montreal walking home from the bars. Spot on, simple, classic. Maple Leafs. God Save the Queen. Les Habitants. Poutine. Oh, and Bud Light in cans. To go. Madness? No. This is Fish & Chip. read more

The food was delicious, large portions and breading was perfect! Place looked closed no one in restraurant! Sat in parking lot for 15min! Then decided to go in! I'd say order out for restraurant was disappointment!! The food was great portion! Skip the scallops they were a bit overcooked read more

I had fish and chips at 2 other places around Burlington and this is by far the best fried fish so far. The batter on the fried Cod was light and crispy without being greasy. The onion rings were also crispy and done well. The Coleslaw served is very decent. I called to place my order and found the lady to be polite, friendly and SPOKE ENGLISH UNDERSTANDABLY. My order was ready when I arrived at the time requested. I will definitely return to try more menu selections. In the era of Covid19, it's nice to find places serving good food for take out. read more

The Fish & Chip - Fried Cod w/ Onion rings & Cole slaw - Fish & Chips Near Me - South Burlington, Vermont

The fish and chips is so good here. The batter was light, thin and crispy. I would've posted a photo but we ate it all before I could take a photo! I also like how there is an option to get just the fish with coleslaw and opt out of the fries. They also have a spicy tarter sauce which I've never had before but was delicious! read more

We were ignored for the first 15 minutes we were there... The food was terrible - clam chowder blech read more

That rice pudding tho.......... Thankyou for providing good fish n chips like customers deserve. I dare say your the only spot I'd eat fish from in Chittenden county! Love u guys read more

If fried is what you like this place is for you. The area in the middle of Williston Road is quick becoming an established hot spot for dining in South Burlington. In addition to Silver Palace, Everest Indian-Nepali Restaurant, Zachary's Pizza the most recent addition is Fish and Chips Restaurant to South Burlington's restaurant row. Occupying the space just behind the Everest Restaurant, the new Fish and Chips offers a vast array of fried seafood almost exclusively. On a recent holiday pre-weekend lunch visit our party of four got to select several of their menu items. Two of our party ordered the clam chowder. Both found the chowder to be just OK, not great. For entrees three of the four of our party had variations on the fried seafood lunch. Haddock and cod being the fish ordered. All were accompanied by French fries and Cole slaw. In a menu dominated by fried offering s the fourth of our party couldn't have fried seafood due to dietary restrictions. A Greek salad with a side chicken souvlaki and a side of bread and butter was ordered. It is interesting to note that an up charge of $1.95 for the bread and butter was added. The salad with chicken was a poor choice. Everything was lackluster about it. An industrial Italian type dressing in a small 1 ounce cup was served. The feta cheese was a fine dry dusting of industrial look a-like cheese product. It did not resemble the creamy, salty feta cheese that is protected by European Union Designation of Origin regulations Several pieces of brown, wilted lettuce and a core of the same lettuce were on the salad plate. The chicken souvlaki had a spongy texture not unlike what is served in inexpensive, main stream fast food restaurants. It was not good at all. Three of our party of four found their fried seafood, fries and slaw to be fine. However, if you're looking for something other than the fried style of preparation you'll best be served elsewhere. read more

We honestly did not expect much from a business named "The Fish and Chip" in a lake-bordering town in Vermont. But it is really terrific! We've kept it simple - this is perfect comfort food. The food is reliably delicious, the staff are polite, and the prices are fair. We always go with two orders of the 6 ounce cod fish & chips. That's it. Under $30 for a full meal for two. The tartar sauce comes in regular or spicy...nice kick! The menu, as the name might suggest, is fish-heavy, though there are some Greek-inspired chicken dishes. I may give the fish tacos a try for next time! On the last time we ordered, they forgot to give us the "chips"! We called immediately and they offered us free desserts in addition to the fries. Really appreciated the service recovery! Definitely check out the Fish and Chip! read more

Stopped in recently (last Friday). Hadn't been in a while. I'd like to state the customer service is really good, even with only two people working. It looks like they do a big take out business. Our cod was great, some of the best I've had. Dinner is very fairly price. Great food, good service. Cleanliness, they could work on a bit. My wife hesitated in using the tarter sauce because they all were sitting on the table. When we went in previously, I thought that they were in a cooler and brought out with your dinner. I wish they would just give sides of tarter. read more

The food was VERY good. Still warm! They honored all of my requests, and it was timely. However, the Tzatziki sauce tasted strange...spoiled? Had the consistency of tarter sauce. I called to let them know, but they didn't really care. read more

The Fish & Chip - Souvlaki Dinner - Fish & Chips Near Me - South Burlington, Vermont

Small place but awesome fried, fresh New England fish! The owner/operator is super nice and works her butt off! Reasonable prices and this place does a booming takeout business. The food comes out piping hot. The haddock is sublime. For those not into fish, there are souvlaki, wings, salads, lots to choose from. Ample parking. Good for families, kids. We will return! read more

The fish was good but order 6 and not 3 oz. It's a step up from long John's silvers but not what you would get street side in London

Generous portions, prices are good, fish tasted fresh, fries were good - perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Fish breading was thin and crispy, not too thick. Definitely not lighter fare - it's fried and thus a bit heavy - but I was happy with my eating experience. I'd be curious to try their stuff other than fish & chips. Ambiance inside is not great, for what it's worth - very bare bones. I thought it was pretty good for what it was (casual, affordable fish & chips joint). read more

It is excellent every time we order. The owner is very kind and helpful. Great for original fish and chips.

Not much to the decor inside the restaurant, but the fish is always fresh and the salads are huge! The owner is super nice.

The calamari is awesome! everyone else in the party had haddock fish and chips and loved it. onion rings were a little overcooked. Wish they used the same batter on the rings that were on the calamari. Have several booths and tables. Nothing fancy but the food, portions and price were great. Service was good too. read more

I came to this area on business and was seeking seafood. I came across this Gem. Although they don't have whole belly clams, I tried their shrimp plate, along with their fried mushrooms and it was to die for. The mushrooms and shrimp wasn't heavily battered like most places. It was perfect. I didnt dine in, as I took my food to go and they packed everything up nicely with everything I needed. Great food, at reasonable pricing with great service. You can't beat that. Two thumbs up!!! read more

The Fish & Chip - Fried shrimp plate. Soooooo good. - Fish & Chips Near Me - South Burlington, Vermont

This is a classic hole in the wall kind of place. You would probably never except it to have great fish and chips. The fried fish is done really well here. Good flavor, cooked well so the fish is juicy and the fry is thin and flakey, not a thick hard shell you get at some places. read more

Ordered from here a few times and had dine-in once. Always good food and great service! They are quick with making food and it tastes delicious. I'm picky about gravy as most places are bland and boring but they made a flavorful gravy that my son will even eat(he doesn't usually like any gravy). We've tried the haddock, shrimp, wings, onion rings, fries, gravy and cesar salad and all were yummy so far. Highly Recommend! read more

We just tried this place for the first time off of a recommendation. The fish and coleslaw were amazing. The portion sizes are more than generous and the tarter sauce is unlike any other we've had. The service was fantastic and I'm already looking forward to my next meal. read more

Amazing fish and chips. My bf and I got takeout here today and we weren't disappointed. The fish was so good and the batter was not at all greasy. We were definitely very pleased with our order and will definitely be back again. The lady that took our order was very sweet as well. read more

We ordered the family dinner to go-amazing!! Fresh and light and crispy and lots of food!

Oh man. Fish and Chips. I love me some good fish and chips. And this place knows how to make 'em. Any form of fried fish here is phenomenal. Super crispy and crunchy on the outside with juicy, flaky meat on the inside. I usually get the fish tacos where they take these crispy beauties and throw them on some flour tortillas with some cabbage and white/tartar sauce. And some delicious tomato salsa on the side. And some crispy fries to go with them. Im not a Brit by any means but I have visited London and had fish & chips there - the one here in this little town of Burlington was way better than anything I had in the UK. read more
