This place is awesome!!! Gregory is so cool. Really interesting background. Super warm guy & eager to chat. & no wonder he is so chill & laid back! The food really speaks for itself. Probably the best fish & chips I've had. The fish was flaky & crispy. Fried to perfection. Whatever the sauce on top of the fish was also insane. Really elevated the flavor. Even the seasoning on the fries was addicting. I would highly recommend stopping by, chatting with him & enjoying his skill!

What a fantastic place! We shared a the haddock & chips, as well as a fried chicken meal. Everything was hot, fresh & tasty - really hit the spot after walking all day. The chef/owner was a great guy -- loved hearing about his journey & life!

Best fish I've had in soooo long. Better than a fancy restaurant. Chef was also very nice. Recommend the fish tacos & cod. There's also fried chicken for non fish lovers

We randomly discovered this place & came in for lunch. We loved it. 😍
We ordered the fish & chips haddock & it was super tasty. Very lightly battered & delicious fresh fries. We also got shrimp tacos & they were even more delicious! The right amount of spice & a nice surprise of mango chunks in the salsa. The flour tortillas were not your regular ones, they seemed lightly fried & puffy. We absolutely loved everything we had!

The service here is great. Greg, the owner is so nice & inviting. He was very kind & easy to talk to. I ordered the scallops & chips. I received a total of 9 scallops with the fries. The batter is really nice. Not over flaky or too much batter like some places. Not greasy either. The fries were very good. The coleslaw was different & nice, too. I went during lunch, so I was the only customer at the time. It's relatively small but enough space to stop & enjoy a nice fried seafood or chicken sandwich.

If you're looking for the best fish & chips & fried chicken in the city, look no further! The batter is perfectly light, & the portions are generous. Unlike other places that leave an unpleasant aftertaste, this one is absolutely spot on! What's even better is the price; it's surprisingly budget friendly compared to other spots. Chef Gregory, took the time to share his story, showcasing his passion for creating high quality food. This isn't just a meal. It's an experience. Support this amazing small business. You won't regret it!

Not usually into fish & chips but decided to try it out based on price & reviews. It did not disappoint. The fried cod is actually good.
