Food 5/5 -Fish and jumbo shrimp $26, one piece of hot fresh flaky fried white fish and four pieces of tempura style fried shrimp, fries are good, no notes. -Small eater's plate with one piece of fish $18, all very hot, fresh and delicious. Even for the small eater's plate, the portion will fill you up half way because they give such a huge piece of fish. Ambiance 5/5 -The decor takes you back to an older time and the yellow tables and chairs give just the right amount of funk. Dining area is quiet and calm, just a great place to enjoy fresh delicious fish and chips.

The last time I visited this suite in the Rolando neighborhood, Filipino cuisine was being served…read more Apparently, a relative of the owner was given an opportunity to run that food service, but it was unable to succeed. The lower line of the new marquee sign noted that 'BBQ & Southern Style Food' was also offered at Bayside Fish & Chips. Those items made up the right menu screen while the left screen displayed the traditional fried seafood fare. I picked the Fish Sandwich which was the first of five listings. A fried whitefish fillet (my choice) or catfish nuggets was available as the protein served on a bun with tartar sauce. The batter used on the fish was a light cornmeal. I appreciated that it was not heavily coated on the fillet. I also ordered a serving of the Creole Gumbo. The roux was not as dark as have I seen in other versions of this classic Southern recipe. A medley of crab pieces, clams, chicken, and andouille sausage was mixed together while a dish of white rice was provided on the side to add into the broth. There were only four tables for on-site dining so most of the business at Bayside Fish & Chips was for takeout orders. The BBQ meats were not available at the time of my afternoon visit. The brisket and pork ribs would be worth trying on another occasion when I am in this neighborhood. The food quality and prices were worth a four star rating.

Yes, it's all about the fish and chips here at Bayside, but I decided on the Smoked Beef Sandwich…read morefor $9 and some change. It's a no frills sandwich, with just the chopped smoked beef on a bun with a side of BBQ side. A few pickles here would have been nice to break into the beefy flavor, which was good, but the meat was heavy on the salt, especially towards the end of a bite and chew. It also would have been nice if it were a little juicier. The bun was good and effective. I would have preferred if they served the bun warm, however. It would have complimented the warm beef better and the sandwich as a whole. The BBQ sauce was good and just tad elevated the flavor of the sandwich. It was a decent beef sandwich overall, I can't help thinking of those sour pickles, though. Service was friendly enough but not much for conversation, and the place is very simple inside with a few tables. Like I said, no frills, not that there is anything wrong with that.

I went on an adventure trying to find a new lunch spot.  I found this place on Yelp as Janna's…read moreBurgers, Fish, and Fries and the map took me to the Aztec Food Hub.  Using the street address I was taken to Grossmont Center.  The signage indicates this place is called BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries. I was feeling lucky today.  So I ordered my fried fish with onion rings and paid $1 upcharge.  The problem with onion rings is they range from not good to great.  With fries they are usually fine. White fish was fried in a tempura batter infused with herbs.  White fish had a mild flavor and was nice and moist.  Batter was crunchy. Onion rings were mostly crunchy except the batter was too thick so some parts of the batter were not transformed by the frying process into crunchy goodness.   I didn't like the flavor of the herbs in the batter which distracted from the fried onion flavor. Service from the guy in charge was friendly and efficient.  My combo was $12.99 which is a great deal.  I'd order the fish again but not the onion rings.  Doing further research I found they are also listed on Yelp as BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries.  So that's the story on my lunch adventure.

Unfortunately, our experience at Curbside was very disappointing. We were seated right away and…read moreserved waters while we looked over the menu, so that wasn't the issue. The problem came at the end of our meal when we were ready to leave and waiting for the check. We waited an unusually long time while several tables around us, including guests who were seated after us, received their checks before we did. What was even more concerning was observing the server eating while standing behind the bar, then handling ice and items going into customers' drinks without washing her hands. This raised serious concerns about food safety and hygiene. The place is a cool vibe and always has the game on, but service and quality of food is not the highest.

Food came out in about 20 minutes and everything was very fresh and piping hot. The cashier was very friendly, and gave great recommendations. For food: - Wings - incredible. Super juicy on the inside with a perfectly crispy exterior. Easily a standout. - Catfish - just as impressive as the wings. Crispy batter with tender, flaky juicy fish inside. - Mac & cheese - luscious and rich, one of the best I've had. - Candied yams - honestly the best I've ever had and I don't usually like yams at all. The seasonal cantaloupe refresher was light and refreshing a great pairing with the meal at the recommendation of our cashier. We also got the chocolate chip cookies (made by the owner's daughter) to go and they were a sublime finish to the experience. Easy 5 stars, I'll definitely be back when I am back in the area.

The chicken and catfish were both fried excellently, and paired so well with the Cajun ranch. The cashier told us that we should make a perfect forkful with a candied yam and some mac and cheese, and that combo was as tasty as she said. We also added a side of cornbread which came out in a muffin cup. It was very moist and flavorful. We got a melon refresher, which comes with chunks of actual cantaloupe. This was on the sweet side, but paired well with the savory proteins. There was a steady flow of customers that were dining in or picking up takeout. As we were heading out, we heard other customers talking about how delicious the chocolate chip cookies are so we decided to get it to go. There are also seasonal desserts, like mango sticky rice and banana pudding, so we'll definitely be back to eat more delicious soul food and try out the seasonal items.
