What happened to this place? It use to be my go to place and all of my out of town friends loved it. Yesterday, I ordered the two piece fish/chips and when I got home, I noticed at least one piece appeared to be fried twice, once I took a bite it was confirmed. The other piece looked fresh but had half uncooked batter inside, disgusting. Threw it all away. Very dissapointed and will not be returning, it's just too expensive to take a chance. So about $20 wasted, with tip. What really ticks me off, is that it was intentional; they knew exactly what they were doing (reason for one star). I want my tip back.

Have driven by this place multiple times, especially during my community college days. Yesterday was Good Friday, so me and my family decided to stop by for some good fish and chips. We came in around 8 (30 mins before closing time) and it wasn't super busy. We ordered and got our food within 5-10 mins. We had 2 orders of 3 piece fish and chips and fried zucchini. The prices were a bit higher than our usual fish and chips joint, but the food and service were great.

I have driven past this place about a thousand times over the years and never stopped in, partly because it looks so ancient from the outside. What a mistake! This place has some of the best fried food I have had! I have been here about 6 times now. The fish is so moist and tender, the shrimp are large and delicious, and every time I get the hushpuppies and lumpia, they are awesome! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is run down inside and out. I always get the food to go. They are very fast and efficient. I highly recommend the food.

The fish was okay. There is not a lot of seasoning. My daughter got the Calmari, and it gave her food poisoning.

Need I say this is the best fish and chips in the city! The sad part of our visit was the store had been vandalized not once but twice... Windows have been knocked out but yet customer service was top-notch and the food was absolutely delicious. It's sad that people today cannot run and honest wholesome business without some clown or clowns making life hard for them.

I enjoyed the fry, batter crunchy, prawns nice and meaty. The fish could’ve been a little firmer but overall I enjoyed it. Lumpia was small and fries slightly overcooked I missed the Hawaiian lumpia I need to find a spot.

The front window of the spot was broken. The bill reflects how they are treating the customers.

The fish is delicious and there's good sides like fried mushrooms.
Good friendly neighborhood spot for a seafood bite. There is parking in the back.

Still the best fish & chips around. I'd been craving it so I finally made the time to get some. Tugboat is the best.

I have been going to Tug Boat since the 90's. I understand that due to inflation, their prices must go up too. But now not only did their prices skyrocket, they've added so much "fillers" in the batter, it's not the same as it used to be.

Food is actually good but I wouldn't go back simply because of the service. We ordered 3 different plates. The lady that took our order brought our food out but set it on the table across from us so she didn't have to walk all the way around to our table and said "here". None of us use tarter or cocktail sauce so I asked for vinegar. After I sat back down I realized lemon didnt come with it either, so I got back up and asked. She brought up 2 slices annoyed and said, "that's it." shaking her hands, "no more." Like I was asking for another piece of fish or something. Lol the place is also pretty dirty and outdated.

I paid with $40 and they only gave me back seven. They wouldn’t give me my $10 back & purposely gave me a receipt, not showing how much I actually paid.
