My favorite chill spot for $1 oysters in the area. Love their sangria special on Thursdays. Overall, i am a big fan of the ambiance, the service and the oysters are soooooooo divine.

We hadn't visited this restaurant since they moved to a new location in downtown Syracuse several years ago, where they now occupy some of the space that once comprised the French restaurant L'Adour. I ordered the Captain's Platter which included fried haddock, 3 fried shrimp, french fries, coleslaw, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. It was quite a filling and tasty meal. My favorite part was the fried shrimp and cocktail sauce. I also enjoy the fish but felt the in-house tartar sauce was a bit bland. I'm used to a version that has more texture from chopped dill pickle, whereas the sauce made here appears to have been blended in a processor. The French fries were were ok and the coleslaw was very good. I look forward to trying one of their crispy shrimp Po'Boys the next time we visit. My wife ordered steamed clams, three seared scallops and a sides of potato salad and macaroni salad. They were all enjoyable. The service was excellent and the ambience was casual and fun.

Great hole in the wall. NE clam chowder was good. Ordered the fish n chips, fish had panko breading, but otherwise cooked perfectly, fries/chips were excellent.

The Fish Friar has awesome fried fish and other assorted dishes. I have not yet eaten at the restaurant but have gotten take-out a few times and each time the food is perfectly prepared. Even by the time I get home, my food is hot yet still crisp. The Fish and chips are wonderful. The fries are tasty and the fish is perfect. They even have their own specialty tartar sauce which pairs wonderfully with the fish. I would recommend giving the Fish Friar a try if you haven't.

Early dinner date, got there at open. Wonderful staff, great atmosphere. Cozy and small, I like smaller restaurants and the menu was simple; don't need a million choices. Definitely would go again!

This place was fantastic. The only issue I had was the fact their website placed it on Genesee St, but it's not on Genesee St. My GPS had me going in circles. Luckily, I finally found it.

I order food for pickup, so I can only tell you about the food itself. I ordered a shrimp bánh mì, it was great! Flavor was on point, even though the sandwich wasn't as big as a regular bánh mì. Because of this, I think prices are on the higher side for what you get, but it's delicious food. From picking up the food, I took a quick look to the place, it seems nice! I would come back to seat down if it wasn't for Wolf's biergarten around the corner. I found out about this place while watching a soccer game, and you can get a free beer if you purchase food from here (there's a minimum purchase that I don't remember)

Food and drinks were absolutely outstanding. Host was tremendously helpful. Server was a very nice guy. But, when it came to the check. He disappeared and we hadn't seen him for a period of time. The young man at the host station took care of us. He was freaking awesome.
We love fish friar!! You always get a great meal, drinks, and ambiance!

I ordered take out this past Friday afternoon. It was my first time ordering at Fish Friat in about a year. I was always a big fan and was excited to give them a try again. I was extremely disappointed in the food. I ordered the scallop roll. It only had 4 scallops and they had absolutely no color on them. Whether they were broiled or seared, they should have been browned. The roll was completely over saturated with butter. For $20.00 I would expect more than 4 scallops seeing that the price of the sandwich did not include any type of side. I ordered a side of potato salad, which has always been one of my favorites. It was dry and lacked basic seasoning. The side of fries were good, although I requested them cooked crispy and they weren't. Also, if you want a dipping sauce it is a $2.00 up charge. In the past the side of fries came with the spicy chili sauce. It was my first time trying the peanut butter pie. It had really nice peanut butter flavor, but the ratio of crust to filling was off, way too much crust. I'm disappointed that I had such a negative experience with the food. I like the online ordering system and easy pick up for take out they have in place. The staff is always efficient and friendly. Hopefully they can get these kitchen issues worked out.
