Reviews Nick's Takeaway

Wife was always saying we must go and try this fish and chip place, as they cut their own chips. Shw mentioned it was run by father and son team. For a wednesday night it was busy, it must say somwthing about the food here.

So after work, wife got some fish and chips, and it was good, little calamari, fish bites, prawn cutlets serving of chips. And on the side a piece of cod, the cod was ok, didn't compare to the fish bites. But that didn't stop us from finishing it.

Everything was cooked right and didn't feel guilty afterwards. Definitely Be back, as they are just off the freeway, near shell on the way home.

There are no fish and chip shops like it, by far the best! If I could recommend one thing, it be try nicks, and let the addiction begin.

Nick's Takeaway - Holland Park, Brisbane. Behind a roller door not unlike a garage comes an unlikely find. Dimly lit, it might not look like it but this place does some very good takeaway - particularly the Friday favourite, fish n chips.

The power went out, so it was off to here. They also got the blackout, but the deep fryer was still working. It was obviously a slow day as three of the four owners were sitting around a table with one taking the occasional order. This was a life saver regardless.

The range here is very good, no longer do I have to go to the Gold or Sunshine Coast (or a beach area) for the whole fish n chip/seafood basket (and more) experience. I asked what they recommended and it ended up being their basic fish n chips with an additional potato scallop.

Suffice to say, their servings are incredibly generous; I am still thinking maybe the fish n chips is intended for a group as opposed to an individual. The fish was still firm but could be broken up by hand easily; it also had a mild flavour that indicated it was not overcooked. The batter was amazing.
As for their fires, they were fantastic. Generous amounts of seasoning were used and they were hot and crispy. Their potato scallop was very good, using thinly sliced potato and having a subtle distinct flavour that distinguishes them so well.

A well-rounded takeaway with service akin to knowing the owners well. There are a number of different items here and they alone are enough to bring me back to this place.

Best chips in Brisbane - real hand cut chips and the minimum chips easily feeds a family (or 1 hungry teen). Burgers and fish are also pretty good too. Old fashioned style family run business that treats customers really well (more often than not they throw an extra in with your order).
