“ Hours on Google says closed on Sundays but I just went in for some game day goodies! Quick service! Delicious and fresh! Catfish flavor on point! Wonderful fish n chips. Didnt get chips today though because I wanted rice at home. ”
“ Really good place for fish and chips. Up there with city fish, anchor fish and chips, or any bay area spot here. Prices are extremely reasonable can eat good for 20 bucks. If ur in the area or live in the area and dont want to venture far this is your spot. One last thing, the staff is so nice and gracious to you. Sure there not fast but its a small team back there so please be patient with them cause the food is worth it ”
“ Great food! We typically get the fish and chips, and they are consistently fantastic. We also tried the crab cakes, hush puppies, and prawns. The prawns are good too, but the real winner are the crab cakes! Very happy with our choice for dinner today. ”
“ Wonderful fish and chips. The fish was great, not oily or loose, just solid fried fish. Fries had no salt but were fine. Their clam chowder while a bit potato heavy was full of clams too. ”
“ I love their fish! Its perfectly fried and not over battered. Its consistently good every time I go! The tarter sauce is delicious. I wish the fries were better, but they are just average. Service is fast. ”
“ Mom and Pop shop with good fish n chips at a decent price. You can order ahead of time and just pick up at the counter. There is limited seating indoors and also on the patio out front. The chowder always looks appetizing but havent had a chance to taste it just yet! Next time ... ”
“ This small business has very delicious food for not a bad value. I had the shrimp and chips and I very much loved it! Friendly service and generous with the sauce didnt even charge extra. And for me that means alot! I recommend this place for sure. Small dining area so keep that in mind if you want to eat here with a group. ”
“ The food was great! Good size portions, not salty at all. Loved the tarter sauce and cocktail sauce. Yum! Enjoyed the fish, popcorn shrimp and onion rings! Ill be back for more! ”
