Decent for fish so far away from The ocean. But its a good place when you cant get to the beach for fresh caught. Friendly service and somewhat reasonable prices. Unfortunately after the pandemic everything has skyrocketed. read more

Way overpriced. Food was minimal and not good. Staff was rude and unhelpful. Military discount was $0.43 and then they added a $1.43 administration fee, so the military "discount" actually cost more. read more

Wife and I gave it a try today, both had a bowl of clam chowder. Chowder was very good, and we definitely would go back. Saw the fish and chips others were having and they looked very good, but like some other reviewers I'd prefer some fries that are more like steak fries than waffle fries. Service was friendly, fast and the restaurant is clean. This place is worth a visit, looking forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

This is a very cozy restaurant. It's very clean and nautically decorated the service was very good and very fast. The attendant was very personable and polite and answered all of my questions about the menu due to this was my first time here. I ordered a three-piece fish and chips and the food was freshly prepared and came out to me nice and hot. The flavor was very good and I enjoyed the meal very much. I did provide feedback because to me the coleslaw needed to be a little bit creamer, and the fish portion size was a little small in my opinion For the price. As far as the meal goes, I give it five stars that I gave the four stars due to in my opinion the portion size was a little small for the value,, I do recommend you trying this place because it's a really good read more

Ordered cod, it was very mediocre and the tartar sauce was brown and tasted like it was made a month ago. I'm sorry but we'll never go back

One of the restaurants that I miss since moving from Idaho Falls, Idaho Falls, Idaho. Excellent food,served by the nicest people! A stop every time I am in Idaho Falls:) read more

One of the friendliest places I've been! Great customer service. Fried shrimp was delicious. Was a little sad the chicken wasn't battered like the cod but it was still good. Enjoyed our lunch there. The specials are good too! read more

I have been a fan of this restaurant for over 20 years. When you walk in, you will not be overwhelmed with decor or ambience, but what you were going to find is amazing seafood at a reasonable price. This is my first time eating here, since I moved away 10 years ago, and I was delighted to find that, despite new ownership, the food was as good as I remembered. I have traveled all over the country, and their clam chowder is probably the best I have ever had . If you were planning to eat here, I would suggest highly that you add the clam chowder to your order. You will not regret it. I ordered the two piece cod and it came with fries and coleslaw. Everything was fresh and delicious. Our table was clean and staff was quite friendly and helpful! They had made a mistake with one of our orders, and provided us with their dessert turnovers to even everything out and they are the only place that is still making turnovers in the deep fat fryer. I had the BlackBerry, which was delicious and everyone else had the Apple, and they said they were also quite amazing. They said they taste like the apple turnovers used to taste at McDonald's before they decided to be healthy lol! If you find yourself in Idaho Falls, I highly recommend that you make The Gang Plank one of your lunch or dinner stops. You won't regret it! read more

The service was awesome and the guys at the counter were super nice, the South African hake was incredible, it had a thin tempura type shell and the fish was moist and flakey, the tartar sauce is good (bear in mind I don't enjoy tartar sauce) with the fish and their fry sauce is pretty dang good, their coleslaw is great, and to top it off they've got waffle fries. The only kinda negative is the atmosphere but at the same time it's a local fish spot if your expecting anything more than you're here for the wrong reasons, you're not here for the ambiance, you're here for banging fish, fries, and chowder. So yeah 5/5 read more

Great clam chowder!!! That's all we had but the fish and chips they were serving to others looked great. Will have to try another time. Counter service and they bring it to you when it's ready. Nice lady there. Place was clean and friendly read more

Very pleased to find gluten-free fish and chips. It's a real treat. I am gluten sensitive. The food tasted good and the staff was super friendly. read more

Excellent fish and chips. try the cod first, it's the standard. Crab cakes were very good, a tad bit soggy for my taste but still excellent.

I've driven past this place a million times, but didn't stop in until just now. Holy cow, it's awesome. I'm not from New Orleans so I can't speak to "authenticity" but to me the shrimp po' boy sandwich was freaking delicious. The service was tremendous. The place was spotless, and the smells made it hard to choose what to order first. I know a little fish shop in Idaho Falls might seem out of place, but do yourself a favor and try it out. BTW, I have zero association with anybody there, this review is just my honest opinion. read more

I had a hankering for Fish and Chips and The Gang Plank seemed like it would fit the bill. Me and the daughter zipped in to fulfill lunch needs. I got the Fish/Shrimp Combination and she got Chicken Nuggets. It was very tasty, not expensive and was an very pleasant experience. (The Shrimp sauce was quite notable!). The staff was very friendly in helping us make our lunch choices. Kind of a family feel here. read more

Great Fish and chips! The people there were great! Service, friendly, clean and welcoming! We arrived before the five o'clock rush Great timing! read more

Good fish-and-chips. I liked the halibut and shrimp meal. The criss-cut fries were a little big. Traditional chips would of been better. Cost was higher, but worth the trip. read more

Well, I'll be frank, The last time I came here with my parents, I was a fat little five year old.....or maybe younger, back then the food was expensive (which to be fair, is understandable, getting fish in land locked Idaho is a struggle in and of itself) and to my small body and big appetite, the portions were tiny. maybe it's because I was already cranky that day, maybe it was because it was a rainy day or because my dad was being a bit irritating, but I left there feeling underwhelmed to the point that I didn't return until I was 31. I was a fool. I shall mentally kick myself forever for not coming back here sooner. let me explain: I was with my mom on a Friday in march, we were craving fish cause A) Catholic and B) Lent we were gonna get fish sandwiches from toms next door, but on a whim we decided to hit up the gangplank sweet mercy I'm so glad we did, i got their house special, halibut (i think, it's hard to remember since my brain is kinda dumb) sticks and seafood hushpuppies with waffle fries. mom got a cup of clam chowder and some scone type things. the price for our whole dinner together was 16 something which is an amazing price for fish in Idaho. the service was fast, the atmosphere in the place was astounding, and the food, my god the food was heavenly I'm so sorry I was so wrong about you for all those years,. five stars. I'm definitely coming back! read more

Best seafood in all Idaho! If I'm anywhere near Idaho falls I always go out of my way to come here. Everything is simply to die for! The fried shrimp is my favorite. Make sure to try the fried zucchini and scones as well. Honestly literally whatever you get here is going to be amazing! read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. I have had fond memories of going there as a child with my mother. I know the restaurant has been there for a very very long time which makes it even more incredible. I ordered the Cod and it was absolutely delicious, the fries were on point, the guest service was amazing, but the only downfall I had was the coleslaw. Maybe it's because I'm pregnant but I thought it tasted like celery more than anything. But I still enjoyed the cod and the fries and the whole bonding relationship that me and my daughter are having when we go there as well. Maybe I'm just a little biased but I absolutely love the restaurant. read more

The Gangplank - We are on our Mommy and daughter date and we thought we would end our fabulous evening here at my favorite fish joint in Idaho Falls. - Seafood Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

If you have ever had Fish and Chips anywhere else in the world you will be dissapointed with these Costco fish filets and waffle fries. I placed my order and watched the young man in the back pull three frozen filets from the freezer and drop them in the fryer. after about ten minutes he loads up the basket and proceeds to go sit down and eat his dinner. The young lady that orginally helped me proceeded to finish my order about 10 minutes later. Fish was taseless, cole slaw was tastless and fries were cold. At least it was on 18 bucks. read more

One star is generous for the greasy overpriced terrible food we were served. The worst looking fish and chips I have every seen and coleslaw that was nothing but mayo. skip this place, nvm run from this place. read more

Great fish and chips shop. I had the special of the day- Halibut sandwich w/chips and a drink for $8.75 What a great meal for an awesome price! Having lived in Alaska and New Zealand for many years, I know good fish when I get it. I will be back again and try the cod and clam chowder. Can't wait. read more

On our way from Yellowstone to Utah! Husband loves fish, so i found this place! So, we made a pit stop! Great choice! we ordered the cod and halibut and both was excellent!. Service was great! very friendly and clean. read more

Great service, clean atmosphere. Slightly longer wait because they cook it fresh. Good value for what you get. We would definitely recommend the cod and the lemon turnovers. We would return if we were in the area. read more

OMG. I have the fondest memory of eating here from my childhood and adolescence. It is situated out of the view of most Idaho Falls residents, in a dark little building in a corner of some random parking lot in the ghetto-y part of old IF. The appearances are unremarkable and the decor somewhat drab and stuffy. However, this is the town's best secret. In a city that lacks small, neighborhood mom-and-pop shops and old local businesses, this place is distinct by serving up unapologetically straightforward but sinfully delicious, american fryer classics. Here is a place that focuses truly on fish and chips. Allbeit an american way, the focus is always about the fix and the fixins. For those of you that hate on fish, juicy, chunky chicken strips are available for a little bit less. In my travels and subsequent relocation to a big place like San Francisco I have yet to find a restaurant that delivers such simple but indulgent comforts of pulled whole-wheat scones hot out of the fryer served with homemade 100% real honey butter, spicy, lightly battered cajun catfish filets served with pickly, silky tartar sauce and wedges of juicy lemon, the richly battered, juciy chicken strips, the nostalgic waffle cut fries (they re available spicy), and the best cole-slaw you will ever eat in your life, delicately sweetened in mayonnaise-vinaigrette with faint but suggestive notes of salary salt, mustard, and fresh black pepper. Prices, while slightly high for the average IF resident, are modest to the average big-city girl or boy, and service is friendly, while it is largely self-service. Few people knew about this place back in the day, I wonder how it's changed now. This place is the best kept local secret. I hope they are getting enough business to sustain itself. read more

I have to say, this place exceeded my expectations. Upon first glance, it didn't look like much when I walked in. The old booths and retro signage with the stick-on letters made it feel kinda divey, but as I looked around I noted how clean and well-maintained everything looked. I think the building is old, but they're taking care of it. The guy who took my order was amazing. Polite, professional, cheerful, just the sort of guy you want doing a customer service job. As I waited for my food, I noticed he treated his co-workers the same way he treated customers. Definitely a good sign, in my opinion. I ordered the one cod, one chicken basket. It came with waffle fries and cole slaw. The chicken was flavorful, the fried cod was flakey without being too dry. The fries were the only thing that was so-so. But most impressive was the cole slaw. I'm not usually a fan of fast food restaurant cole slaw because it tends to be soggy and tasteless, but this stuff was thick, creamy, and fresh tasting. Wow! The weird thing about this place is it looks and feels fast food, but they bring the food to your booth. This means they pour your soda pop and dole out the condiments for you. I figured this meant I wouldn't get a refill, but on my way out the door, the guy at the counter offered me one. Excellent service, good food at a good price. I will definitely come back. (And I'll remember to take pics next time!) read more

I ordered the salmon fish and chips, while the SO ordered the halibut. Both were great! The batter was crispy while the fish was flaky and moist. Our food came with slaw and waffle fries; the slaw was a little bland, and the fries were unseasoned. Table side malt vinegar and salt made up for it, though. I wish the service were a little more friendly. read more

We came with family (6 adults) and had the family meal and a bowl of coleslaw. We tried the Cod, Halibut, and Chicken. Everyone agreed all three were great. The coleslaw was very fresh but not the sweet type. The fries are waffle cut and don't hold their heat long but they were ok. Overall, great fish and chips. read more

We read the reviews, decided to try it. The food is cooked to order, and the coleslaw is fresh and very good. Good prices. I could wish for a few tables instead of all booths since I am large. The place is clean, spotless even. My wife has dietary restrictions and they were very accommodating. Service is friendly and good. The decor is fish house chic. Well, our fish and chips were delicious. Pretty quick to be served, and very helpful. We may have found a new favorite fish place in Idaho Falls. read more

The fried halibut in our fish and chips was decent, but everything else was disapointing. Chowder was watery and bland, fries were dry and needed salt. Everything was a little expensive. This seems like a dying ma and pa fast food joint from the 80s. read more

Nice little shop... Likely a family owned place! I have eaten here a few times and get enough food to fill the belly. The special rotates and is a decent price... if your looking for fast food fish, this is an option for you ind Idaho falls. read more

I've driven past the Gangplank for over 10 years and finally stopped. If you are in the mood for fish it's a nice option. I had the white fish combo with an extra piece of cod. It was exactly what I expected. The paper in the basket mimicked a British newspaper. That and the malt vinegar were a nice touch. read more

I've always loved there clam chowder, only local fresh fast one in town. I guess Jakers and Sandpiper have it but it's not a fast food place. The fish and chips are always solid, love it. They have fun seasonal dishes they make too. read more

I got the cod and the shrimp and clams. The Cod was good but the clams and the shrimp were mostly breading with very little flavor. They do bread the food there but the shrimp lacks any shrimp flavor. I liked the coleslaw. read more

I love this place! It is my all time favorite place to eat in Idaho Falls. Every time I go there I find time to stop in and get a bowl of the best clam chowder I have ever had and a basket of fish and chips. The food is beyond excellent and the service is very friendly and mom and popish. I love it! The restaurant is always clean and the food is always good. I definitely recommend it to everyone. read more

I must say that I honestly miss Skippers. The Gangplank is really nothing more than a grease spoon. The last time I ate at the Gangplank I was not impressed. The fish is average. The hush puppies and the fries were the best thing about the meal. I wouldn't recommend the chicken because it was very dry. This place offers only one refill and after that you have to pay extra. Overall not that great. read more

The clam chowder was watered down and bland. The fried halibut and prawns tasted like they should be from a drive thru restaurant.

Passing through town and came here because of the reviews. Service was friendly, restaurant clean and the food very good.

Great little place. SUPER friendly staff. Good food served fast. Waffle fries crunchy and yum. I had the cod. Hubby says their fish is better than their chicken. Price was just right! read more

Got my fix for fish and chips. Not spectacular but good food. Wife got gluten free fish and chips and they were good. Staff is really friendly. Will go back again. read more
