Was pretty disappointed this visit, I have been eating Thimmes fish sandwiches for over 40-years and when you know how they taste and then something changes it's really obvious. The fish sandwiches had no flavor at all. 2 sandwiches 1 french fry and 1 can of pop was $17.39 .. i would be ok with that if the fish sandwich tasted like it once did. Not sure what you have changed but you changed something. Also, you need to turn the heat up some as it was very cold in the restaurant, we had an older couple next to us that kept their winter coats on they were so cold. I hope if you changed your fish, coating, buns or whatever that you go back to how it was before. Don't follow the trend of some places that raise prices but buy cheaper ingredients, it never goes over well with long time customers. Service was friendly as always, no complaints there!

Highly recommend!!! The fish was delicious and tasted so fresh!! The cost is reasonable. The gentleman who took our order and served us is amazingly kind and polite! Child-friendly, parking is free, and great people to support! If I lived in the area, I'd go here more often! ><>

This place knows how to handle and cook seafood. Been to many places that give you overcooked and tough oysters and clams. Was also informed by the woman working as to where the oysters came from without even asking. Thimmes has a very crunchy batter and the oysters were pulled from the oil at just the right time to keep them tender. They absolutely know what they're doing when it comes to quality fried seafood. Went there for the first time yesterday, made a regular out of me.

Thimmes Fish Shack is a hidden gem! The fish is perfectly cooked—crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The sides are just as amazing, with generous portions and that perfect homemade taste. The staff truly make the experience even better; they’re so friendly and welcoming, making you feel like family every time you visit. If you’re looking for great food and outstanding service, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!
Parking: Parking lot on either side of the building that is free for those dining in or ordering carry-out.

Food great. Felt very homestyle an great. Great service very clean just all round great with real good pricing. Would go back in a heartbeat
Always get the oyster sandwich with tartar sauce, extra crispy. Dan and Regina do such a great job here. You cannot find oysters or clams as good as here. This is a small family , good ole Lancaster eating place. Support this place, you won’t be disappointed!! Thanks Dan and Regina!!! Over 50 years of excellence and service to the Fairfield County community!!

We were driving through Lancaster and realized we’ve never actually dined here before. Deep fried Oysters, fish and shrimp. All 3 were delicious! I believe it was a father and son that were there and they guided us through the menu. Prices are incredible. I’d definitely come back. What a gem! I highly recommend.

All the small town fish shack rizz you could ever want. Get a fish deluxe with cheese, an order of fried mushrooms, and a can of Coke. ; )
