About
Vinny’s Takeaway is a well-regarded fish and chip shop serving Georgetown and the surrounding Newcastle region, open Monday through Saturday from breakfast right through to early evening. The menu covers a solid spread, from fresh fish and chips and hand-cut scallops to calamari, prawn cutlets, dim sims, freshly crumbed schnitzels, and premium burgers and wraps. That kind of range makes it a practical choice for families and groups with different tastes.
Regulars who visit most weeks point to the friendly, efficient service as a genuine highlight, with the team consistently praised for being welcoming and attentive. The chips have drawn particular enthusiasm from many visitors, described as genuinely well-cooked and generous, and the fish done right. The schnitzels and burgers round out the menu for anyone not in the mood for seafood.
Reviews are mixed enough to be worth noting. A portion of feedback is enthusiastic, particularly around the chips and the calamari, while some visitors have found consistency to be variable, especially with the fish. The shop has a solid four-plus-star reputation across a healthy number of reviews, which suggests most people leave satisfied, but it may be worth going in with that context.
The shop is set up for dine-in and takeaway, with delivery and no-contact delivery also available. It is wheelchair accessible, family-friendly with a kids’ menu, and has free parking on site. Payments by card and NFC mobile are accepted. Phone ahead during the dinner rush, as it draws a regular Georgetown crowd.

8 Reviews on “Vinny’s Takeaway Georgetown”
Unfortunately for Vinnys due to a lazy copy paste by their app maintainer. The Schnitty Burger was listed as having Onions, Beetroot, Lettuce, and Tomato (which for the same price other burgers have). Can imagine the disappointment when asking for no lettuce and this arrived. For $11.50 (delivered) would not recommend if you’re after a freshly cooked juicy schnitty. The chicken on this burger was probably cooked a few days ago and microwaved. Chicken was not fresh and very dry.
Underwhelming- oily, not what we ordered…. This is calamari??
So disappointed this shop when it opened was a welcome addition to the area unfortunately the food is now so disappointing that it will be our last meal from there The fish was so dry and flavorless it went in the bin as did the bulk of the rest of the purchase. The last 2 orders from there was missing pieces of cocktail fish and when I call he did offer to put them in on the next order small comfort to the person that missed out. I hope they improve but for now they have definitely lost our business
I should have checked the reviews before placing an order.
The staff were courteous and the order was ready as advised, but the food was very poor.
I appreciate that they appeared very busy but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the fish and particularly the chips were very disappointing.
I’ve been spoilt by quality F&C on the south coast.
It can’t be that hard to make good chips?
I don’t want to sound like a hater, and hope these reviews help Vinny to reflect and inspire him. As the saying goes “your better than that Vinny”
The folks working here are a delight, Burgers are fine, scallops are fine, but unfortunately this place subscribes to the ‘potato shrapnel’ school of chips. Half of however much I buy will even be edible, and then you can flip a coin about whether or not those chips will be bland and dry. It’s more of a factor of convenience that keeps me coming back more than the food itself.
Worst chips I have ever eaten which is why most of them ended up in the bin along with a battered sav which was not cooked properly and had uncooked batter. Never ordering food from them again total rubbish. Also ordered and paid $2.50 for a tartare sauce which I found missing when I got home so ripped off thanks for nothing won’t be going back.
Wanted to choose a place for fish & chips, the reviews for Vinny’s sounded ok.
Had fish & chips with kransky. Tasted fantastic, the chips were absolutely awesome.
So great food, quick and efficient and friendly service
Highly recommend
We have takeaway here almost every Saturday and love it. The tucker is great and Vinny and his staff are always friendly and attentive.
