Nothing else to say but...... Y U M. This is officially my favourite classic fish and chips joint, and I am very happy about it! The fish is perfectly battered and instantly melts in your mouth. Also love how you can opt for sweet potato fries! Can’t get enough 😍 will be back again and again and again

So, the menu in the photos on this website are old, fish prices have gone up by $3-5 depending on what you get, Barra was $12 which was a suuuuuper nice surprise to find when I picked up my order, would highly recommend picking up a menu flyer or taking your own photos, I may do so later on.

If I paid the price that was listed? Absolute banger of a fish and chips place, no doubt. At $18 for a Barra and Chips? Eh. It isn’t your deeply flowered, almost pancake batter fish batter so you don’t feel like a piece of trash after half of the piece, but the chip serving, although good, was definitely too light for its price, I know we’re somewhat far away from the seaside here, but fish isn’t that expensive when you account for all the business expenses, and if you’re gonna charge that much, throw another handful of chips in there, ever if it’s just for moral support.

I would visit again, but if I did It would be with a group of people to make it financially viable, and we’d all have to want fish and chips specifically, not just cheap food.

I love coming here for the fried fish and chips! The batter is always crisp, the meet is never greasy, and the chips are battered making them the best in Brisbane. Everything is made fresh and food comes out of the kitchen pretty quickly.

The tartare sauce isn’t the greatest, but that’s a small knock as everything else is spot on.

I have been to A Salt and Battery a few times, the atmosphere's relaxed, the service is good and always friendly and the food delicious. Just one tip I would give to future diners: ask to see the piece of fish that you are buying. Sometimes the portion sizes are tiny (especially if you order snapper apparently). I suspect they cut a good sized fillet into small, thin bits to make more money. They shouldn't have to at $23 for fish chips and salad.

Had Sunday lunch bere after seeing the high rating and tried the calamari + chips + salad meal for $16. Opted for the Greek salad which was super fresh and the calamari was great too, perfect sized meal at a good price.

Really good quality fish and chips here! It's byo too if you're that way inclined. Go the snapper or barramundi if you want fish- it's delicious.

Not the same as it used to be but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Staff were friendly, the food arrived quickly and was hot. I had the battered cod meal with Greek salad. The batter was crispy and light, not drowned in oil. The fish was well cooked and tasty, chips were golden and crunchy, and the salad was simple and fresh. The tartare sauce was also delicious. The only thing stopping me from giving a full 5 stars was the relatively small portion size (I wasn't left hungry but the portion was a little small for the price), and the small amount of tartare sauce. I was otherwise satisfied, looking forward to coming back!

Good for sit-down meals with a bottle of wine and some friends but food is consistently cold when I order takeaway. They also serve takeaway in containers instead of wrapping chips which I think contributes to this problem. Food is good, but a little overpriced. I usually go down the road to Tippler's for a better takeaway experience.

A Salt & Battery (AS&B) welcomes you with a display of its fresh produce and a clear view of its uncomplicated looking kitchen. As you check out the large display menu & decide what to order, you can see the orders being prepared & leaving the kitchen. All of this creates quite the authentic seafood market vibe. AS&B serve a wide variety of seafood with different meal options. I generally order the Seafood Cooked for 1 Platter, since it's good value. For $19.90, you get a wonderful Greek Salad with a nice light dressing, Calamari (4 pieces - 2 lightly crumbed and 2 in a light pepper batter), prawns (2 pieces), Scallops (2 pieces), Fish, Beer Battered Chips and side of dipping sauce & a wedge of lemon.The batter really works well as it is light and simple, which retains that really fresh seafood taste but adds a nice crunch to the bite. The prawns were the clear standout; sweet and juicy, but still firm to the bite and with that delightful crunch from the crumbed batter. The other items were really nice as well but the scallops could do with some tweaking in the batter, probably a slightly lighter coating. The beer battered chips served as the bed for the seafood and were nice and crisp. The chips could have done with a little more seasoning but they were fried well. Also, I would recommend serving a little more chips as the meal doesn't always fill me up. The accompanying house sauce did not work for me, as it was extremely light and I had to use a lot of it to really bring out the best in the seafood. I would have liked a more stronger sauce.

The service was prompt and friendly and the seafood served was very fresh. The takeaway container was nice and sturdy, and looked like care was taken in packing the meal. It can get quite crowded over the weekends and with BYO & Liquorland right beside the restaurant, it's really convenient if you want to get a quick bottle of wine to complement your meal.

Ah my local burger joint, where to start! Great steak burger and chip meal, although the chips aren't as good as they used to be. Someone who does deserve a mention is Nick on till. This guy is always friendly and professional every time we dine here and on his service alone i would return. Keep up the great work buddy.

I really like this place and have been twice since we have been on holidays. Food has been fresh and tasty. Service prompt and efficient. Not cheap but I do think its worth it.
Average fish and chips are everywhere. I had a seafood platter for one and it was delicious.

Best fish and chips in Brisbane. The fish and chips are amazing - the best I have found in Brisbane. Food is reasonably priced and served promptly. The new management has made a significant difference to the attitude of staff - staff are very friendly and efficient.

Don't bother going to other places - A Salt & Battery is the only fish and chips place you need.

The chip/salad ordeal. So i ordered a reef burger right and im a shredder (kill it in the gym) and it comes with chips which i don't eat cause i havent had a carb since 2004. So i asked the chick for a salad instead and she was like nah man cant do it, and i was like what do you mean you cant do it? Just put the salad on the plate instead of the chips OH DERRRR. So then i had to pay extra for there little salad thing, like comeon guys pretty sure salad would be cheaper than chips anyway ya dumb dogs.

Yummy Little Eatery, Great Value for Money. Great place with even better prices. This fish and chip shop is no frills but what it does have is awesome fresh calamai and the best prawn skewers I've ever tried. Love the crispy, salty chips and the value for money was excellent. My friend doesnt really eat fish so she was over the moon to discover that they make awesome burgers, buffalo wings and salads too! The Staff were friendly, especially the managers of this family run business and very helpful.
Not only can you buy fish and chips to eat in or take away but you can order fresh fish from them for cooking at home. The choice is great. You must try it!

Hot because it is an open air eating area but the ceiling fan helped alot. The meals came out in okay time. Calamari was perfect, with a nice fresh salad and crispy chips.
I do wish they had cold water available, drinking warm water on a hot day is not overly pleasant.

All in all a great place for fish and chips. Been here a few times and it has delivered each time. Price is quite reasonable too. Only downside is that I no longer attend UQ, meaning it's no longer easily accessible for me!

You can't go wrong. This place is a staple for Fish & Chips in the western suburbs. As a former UQ student I could always count on it for quick & tasty seafood and a great place to catch up with friends. There's usually parking outside or underneath and the street is buzzing with other little restaurants. It's casual but it's cheap, and it's always been reliable!

Very fresh and yum. Great fish and chips, always very fresh. Thoroughly recommend the calimari. There just may be a bit of a wait depending on when you go - Friday nights in particular are hectic. That's not a complaint though, it just shows how popular this place is - and rightly so.

Wow! Probably the best seafood I've had in Qld. Ordered the seafood basket for 1. Was a perfect portion and I ate everything (despite not liking scallops). Worth every cent. I'll be back all the time. Thank you
