The place is under new ownership and is renovated, immacutely clean with most importantly, delicious food. The chips are insanely good - well seasoned, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Fish is also very moreish with a tasty and unique batter that I haven't had elsewhere. Service is always polite and well mannered. Honestly one of the best fish and chips shop I've visited in recent years.
I haven’t had old school fish and chips for too long. So it was time to give it a go. This shop has a new recent owner and the shop is now bright, spotlessly clean and the food great quality.
I ordered a "Dinner by the Yarra" which was 2 fish, 4 calamari rings, 2 South Melbourne Dim Sims, (pork and beef), large chips and 2 potato cakes.
I had BIG eyes and the food was cooked fresh and the service was excellent. The new owner was friendly, polite and he told me that he is new going to produce a new menu in September which will have chicken wings and drumsticks, and new vegetarian burgers.
The fish was good, really tasty. The rest of the food was also really tasty, hot crispy and not greasy.
But the best part was the South Melbourne Dim Sims. If you haven’t tried these you have to give them a go. The ones I had were crispy on the outside, and the filling was perfect! My bad, I forgot to take photos of the extras so I’ll go have to go back lol
Overall this is a good place to visit with easy parking on Victoria Street.
FYI the photos on Zomato are really outdated.
I'm not one to boast, but when it comes to potato cakes, I'm probably one of Australia's preeminent potato cake connoisseurs. This man's potato cakes are world class. If potato cake production got the same sort of attention as fine dining experiences, this place would have a Michelin star.
Best I've had in Melbourne. I grew up in fish and chip shops and am a very hard man to impress. Nice Flake, great batter, reasonably recently changed oil.
Great chips and great service. George always serves with a smile. Best chip shop in Australia if not the world. Would eat this for every meal if it was open for breakfast.
Best chip I've found in Melbourne. It surprises me this place isn't more popular. Fresh cut chips, none of that frozen rubbish. George runs a great shop.
Amazing food - very clean establishment and seems like all sauces are made in house!
Will be returning!
Had a very good, value for money meal. Fish was well cooked and calamari was very tender. I have fussy kids who loved it. Friendly service and the sauces were made in house. Would recommend for a family take away meal.
newly opened shop. Has a good vibe of it. I liked their classic fish n chips and the calamari ring a lot. Specially the batter is heavenly. However, it wasn’t crispy enough. Besides, I would definitely come back to try again.
Amazing! I remember when this place used to be open, and it has comeback with a vengeance! Not sure if they are new owners, but the batter is superb and heaps better than ever before. Quality & price is great. They’ve got me as a new regular for sure :)
Flake is definitely better quality and tastes great. Have some lemony flavour which i liked most. Thanks folks. Will definitely come back if I go back in Melbourne again.
Value for money for sure, Stopped in for a couple of burgers on the way home, the wifey loved the falafel patties says nicest veg burger shes had in ages, I got the Outback. might of just found our weekly burger stop. top marks guys, keep it up!
Last night had flakeOutSingle meal, unfortunately they ran out of Flake fish which i like most. Keep more stock dude, i will come back. Keep up the good work. Cheers!!
