We went to this tiny place that has been around for 50 years and it was easy to see why. Good food. Friendly staff. The coleslaw seemed homemade !

Lovely place! A valued time capsule for sure. Fish and chips were solid. Crispy and moist without being too heavy. Simple, nothing complicated or mind blowing. Just good food. Prices reflected that too. Very reasonable! The lady working was friendly and straightforward.

Had a great dinner tonight! Food was hot and tasty. They were very accommodating of the kids. Cut the haddock into fist sticks to make it easier for the kids. The place was busy with lots of takeout. Really good!

Had a hankering for fish and chips for our date night and this place is a true hidden gem! We will definitely be back. The fish was cooked to perfection. I can see why they’ve been around for 50 yrs! The perfect cute “mom and pop” shop tucked away in a quiet plaza.

Came by here today after 18 years. Still looks like how I remember it from my high-school days. Great little spot for fresh fish n chips. Make sure to bring cash as there’s no card payment option. Must try!
