⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Pranjali Sharma
This is a real hole in the wall jewel and has pretty authentic fish and chips. They have 3 parking spots in the back but otherwise you have to look for street parking. The ambiance is small old diner with 6 tables. They have some plaques with the shields of various countries in England, but that is it. No bathrooms. You are not coming here for the ambiance. You are coming here for the food. Their menu is on the top wall and includes entrees of fish and other seafood. We ordered the 2 piece fish and chips with zucchini and mushrooms and a couple of fountains drinks. The fish was wonderful - light crispy breading, soft nicely cooked fish, which was easy to chew and not overcooked, the perfect amount of salt added. It came with tartar sauce and melt vinegar, both of which were great. The zucchini was very nice and interesting - fried, crunchy, salty. The mushrooms were ok. I expected them to be more fried. We ordered coke but got Sierra mist or something similar, not coke. The prices are unbeatable. They even have fresh beer and it is very cheap. The couple managing the restaurant are very nice. Service is a little slow because everything is made fresh, but it is worth it. You feel like you have traveled back in time here. It is simple, no frills and a wonderful experience. If you want fish and chips in Sac, this is the place I recommend.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Brian Haslett
I got a 2 piece fish & chips here for less than ten bucks. Sure, I had to wait a few minutes, but it was well worth it. It came with tartar sauce, ketchup, and even salt and vinegar. What more can a guy ask 🙂
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Eloisa V. Bausas
My mouth was watering as I pull up to park. Cozy and nostalgic ambiance. Nothing but good feedback here. Service is quick and hassle free. Portions are heaping. Looking for that original comfort food without breaking the bank? This is the place to be. Support local business and revel in the history of this quaint jewel in the heart of downtown Sac. 😘😋👏🏼🎉🍤🐟
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jocelyn C
Great value for the portion, fish was well fried and fresh. Honestly beats some of the British pubs out there, in terms of fry quality. Lovely old couple who is running the place.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Alison M C
The 1 piece fish + chips w a side (onion rings) is a large amount of food for $9. The chips/fries are decent. I like that you get malt vinegar, that's v authentic for British food. The onion rings were crunchy. I didn't need extra ranch ranch bc the tartar sauce includedin my meal was delicious. The fish itself was incredible, easily the best thing on my tray. Flaky, moist, crisp batter, seasoning salt--just perfect. The dining room could use a deep clean. I recommend takeaway and maybe eat at the nearby park. Friendly counter service.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — sara marie
Very small mom and pop diner in a big city. The food was so authentic it tasted just like pub style fish and chips. We got the seven prawns, one piece of fish, onion rings and french fries for $13.99. I like that they had all four dipping sauces already on the tray without even asking. Special shout out for the tartar sauce.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Naca
Small spot family owned… very nice people and food was delicious! Also very clean, place is small but impeccable. Does not smell like fish at all!
