Great Fish and Chips, definetly best in the area, always consistent, my place of choice, real calamari rings not manufactured ones. Everything I’ve tried on the menu is spot on. 👌
My go-to order for lunch is their fish burger with tomato and cooked onions. It was introduced to me over 20 years ago and I’m still eating it til this day. I’ve introduced to other people and they rave about it too. It’s delicious. Their fish and chip are good too. Chips are always cook to perfection. I don’t know why I haven’t given them a review til now…better late than never.
The fish is frozen, dry, and fishy. The scallops taste weird, like they’ve been soaked in some liquid. Bad experience.
I don’t need to live in the neighborhood to leave an honest review. I visited your shop, and my experience was exactly as I described. Instead of questioning customers, focus on improving your food and service
Haven’t been to fish tails in a while and decided to give it a go tonight , ordered 2 flakes , min chips and burger with the lot have to say I was totally impressed at the quality of all the food we ordered. The flake was outstanding crunchy outside and fresh flavour fish inside.
The burger wasn’t soggy just perfectly made and chips crunchy.
Would highly recommend after tonight’s meal.
Fishtails Fish & Chippery is a great spot for classic fish and chips. The fish is always fresh, perfectly cooked, and served with a nice crispy batter. The chips are golden and crunchy, just the way they should be. Portion sizes are generous, and everything tastes freshly made.
The staff are friendly and provide quick service, making it an easy and enjoyable place to grab a meal. Whether you’re eating in or taking away, the quality is consistently good and the prices are fair. Definitely one of the better fish and chip shops around.
These guys are always on point, always fresh and delicious my family and I loves this place and so will you.
As long as you’re in the area, this is definitely a must stop restaurant for fish and chips, the food never disappoints. The fish is always fresh and juicy, and the batter is light and very crispy. The fries are perfectly seasoned and well fried, not too greasy. The prawns are crispy and have a good, firm texture.
Their staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and we will definitely be returning often.
Take note there are no dine-in options, but there are sitting options while waiting for your order, or to take your meal to the nearby food court with a large sitting area and enjoy it there.
🔥 Hands Down the Best Grilled Fish in Town!
The Grill Queen herself is an absolute legend—this woman knows her way around a grill like nobody’s business! Every piece of fish comes out perfectly cooked, super fresh, and practically melting off the bone.
The portions? Let’s just say you won’t leave hungry. The vibes? Even better than the food (and that’s saying something). Whether you’re grabbing a quick solo feed or bringing the whole family, this place hits different every single time.
Fair warning: once you try their grilled barramundi or flake, everywhere else will feel like a downgrade.
Come hungry, leave ridiculously happy, and probably already planning your next visit. Can’t recommend this gem highly enough
