About Chef John's Fish & Chips

Chef John's Fish & Chips is a casual restaurant that serves authentic British-style fish and chips. The menu offers a variety of fried seafood options, including fish, zucchini, onion rings, and mushrooms. The restaurant is located in a repurposed fast food building, but the humble exterior should not mislead anyone. Every meal is made fresh to order, and it takes a while, but it’s worth the wait. The fish is light and flaky, with a crispy batter, and the portions are generous. The chips are thick and perfectly cooked, and the onion rings and coleslaw are also delicious. The prices are very reasonable, although some find them a bit high for what is received. While there is no seating area, the restaurant offers pickup and carry-out options, with many customers choosing to pick up to-go orders. Those who enjoy fish, shrimp, and chips will find Chef John's to be a great choice. Customers have noted that the food is flavorful and fresh, with the fish tasting nicely prepared and not heavily battered. The onion rings are made with a similar batter and are tasty. The restaurant has an older feel, with a nostalgic music selection that adds to its charm. Despite some minor concerns about the bathroom’s cleanliness, the overall experience is positive, and many enjoy the good quality food and friendly atmosphere.
