This review is based on take out and my brief encounter with staff. Due to COVID rules, only one person is allowed at the “take out” area, then you’re asked to step outside. Once your order is ready, your name will be called on the PA system. The older gentleman taking my order was friendly, outgoing and explained the catch of the day option to me. The restaurant was clean and the same can be said about the bathroom I asked to use.
I’ve had terrible fish and chips experiences several times in Hamilton (to the point where I’m giving hope) and even though this was takeout and about 15 minutes until I got to eating.. the fish was perfectly cooked and the batter was not overly thick and still had a bit of ‘crisp’ to it. The fries were perfect (not salted.. as a matter of fact you’ve got to salt everything if salt is your thing) size and cooked. I dislike it when you get MASSIVE cut fries, thats almost raw and soggy from grease inside – which seems to be the norm in Hamilton.
5 stars with confidence! Next time I’ll dine in to get the real crisp.
