      Let's jump into ye old English if you love fish&chips this is the place for you we all ways get a fishermen's platter and a extra fish the French fries are to die for and cut fresh the kind you used to get when you was a kids at the beach by the sea .

      Service is fast and to the point menus are over head like at an old-school place . cafeteria style.
      Has not changed in years like this place is 100 years old same owners

      Went Recently - Food was pretty good

      Delicious fresh "Chips" - Fries and a fish burger. Cooked perfectly. I'll have to say I missed this place.

      Tip: Don't miss out on the pickles

      Thanks

      Today the food was terrible- it's time to change the oil guys come on. The fish was bland and tasteless but even worse was the batter- the batter was not crispy on the outside and soggy and mushy inside-- disgusting. The chips- cooked in hot dirty oil, were obviously double fried by the colour and texture. Again tasteless. And please get some mushy peas on the menu- there is no English fish and chip shop that does not have mushy peas.

      Mushy batter but cooked inside-
      Undercooked and horribly mushy batter

      It's lunch hour and very busy here. I ordered clam belly's and the new guy overcooked a tad. One of the family members was very observant and noticed I was picking a little through the dish, came over and offered a new fresh OVERFILLED plate. It is decadent btw now at this point and so so good! Excellent following and superb service. If you want an old school vibe in a world filled with corporate takeovers, then I recommend this place.

      Good fish & chips - terrible service. It's a nice cornerstone of this area with over 100 years in service but you'd think they would get it right in that amount of time. Called in F&C, shrimp platter, clam chowder, clam cakes only to arrive and be told "um... we don't do clam cakes after 3 on Friday". Okay - whatever / I get home with the order and no chowder and no Cole slaw or tartar sauce. Maybe if they had a better system they'd not ruin take out. If you're thinking of trying this place pass on take out. There's a small dinning room so when they screw up your order you won't have to go far to fix it.

      New to northern RI and wanted fish and chips. Saw this place has been around for a century and in spite of mixed reviews gave it a chance. Well I should have believed the one star reviews! First, ordered a clam strip roll - got a dinner instead. Fish and chips came with no Cole slaw& no tartar sauce even though I ordered extra tartar sauce. Food was of poor quality. Future customers find some other place to spend your hard earned money

      Don't get to Rhode Island very often, but when I do, I make the pilgrimage from Warwick up to Woonsocket no matter what. Definitely the best Fish & Chips going. Cannot get Fish & Chips this good anywhere in Las Vegas, the whole belly clams are another treasure.

      Unacceptable! First 2 people in was a gentlemen & myself we both placed orders Then waited almost 30 minutes after giving our takeout orders! They decided to prepare all eat in orders! Well a woman who needed to get back to work finally walked up & told them she needed to get back to work & there reply was Fish isn't ready! When it was my order & her was ready, I came home & fries WERE NOT COOKED! Always have been a valued customer but this service was not acceptable! UNCOOKED FOOD NO!!!! For $31.00 unexpected MORE!

      Fish is heavily breaded and greasy. When busy it sits in a pile waiting to be tossed on a plate. I just go elsewhere at this point.
