About
Wayne’s Take Away is a well-loved fish and chip shop in Wynnum that has built a strong reputation on doing the simple things properly. The snapper is consistently praised for its freshness, and the chips are widely regarded as some of the crispiest around. Seafood sticks are another firm favourite, regularly mentioned alongside the snapper as the must-order items. The potato scallops also draw praise, with the batter described as crunchy on the outside and perfectly soft within.
The shop has an old-school feel inside, and first-timers are often warned not to judge it on appearances. That advice holds up. What the place lacks in modern fitout it more than makes up for in quality, and many visitors say the fish here ranks among the best they’ve had from any fish-and-chip shop. Regulars and out-of-towners alike tend to leave impressed, with visitors from interstate making a point of returning on future trips to Queensland.
Wayne’s operates as a takeaway only and is family friendly, making it a practical choice for a relaxed lunch or dinner. Note that the shop is cash only, so it pays to come prepared. With a strong reputation built largely on word of mouth and local recommendations, it has become one of the more talked-about spots for fish and chips in the Wynnum area.

Waynes came highly recommended from my Grandma. We were up from Canberra and really loved the value and freshly cooked food, highly recommend the fish (snapper) and seafood sticks, definitely will be back when we are up next on a visit
We visited Wayne’s a few months back.
It was recommended to us by a local.
The locals words if you want great fish n chip go to Wayne’s, dont judge the shop deco just go in and order.
He was right the shop looks like it would have 30 years ago.
The service was 5 star the food best we have ever had.
Still a few months later and we talk about Waynes fish n chips.
If you are in the area its a must stop.
Read about this place on a local FB page. Few people were saying it was best fish and chips in area. I was not disappointed. The fish is so fresh and the best crispy chips I’ve had in ages. Don’t be put off by decor, has no bearing on the deliciousness of the food. Yummy, will definitely be back.
probably the best fish i’ve ever had from a fish and chips shop that wasn’t directly on the water.
One of the very few venues I’ve ever seen that is cash only, ridiculous.
Don’t let the decor put you off. Fish, chips, calamari are Yum Yum Yum!!!!
