Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I went here based on the great reviews. I was underwhelmed by the service. The manager/owner behaved liked she disliked being there when she served us then we all listened to her yelling at her staff after closing the serving door. The food was the...worst I’ve ever tried. I understand the staff may have been tired as it was close to their 630 closing time but soggy and undercooked fish is not good enough. I won’t be back.More

The long standing reputation for fish & chips is now in question. The service was brilliant , the fish range, quality, flavour all excellent. HoweveI, I happen to not approve of bright yellow chips, probably cooked in Canola oil, which has a high rancidity and...not a very healthy choice of oil. So for me the chips were a discarded disappointment.More

Good solid fish and chips, the way they are supposed to be done. The remaining words in this review are to meet the 100 character minimum.

We had crumbed fish, calamari, fish bites, potato scallops and pineapple fritters. All was great, the potato scallops were crunchy but somewhat oily and heavy. Would definitely return.

We ordered the family pack. The fried fish was great but the rest is alright probably because a tad oily. We ordered extra potato scallops which were nice. It's the only fish and chip shop in the area unless you want to drive another 4km...into Ulladulla for food.More

Great quality fresh seafood, I had the Blue Eyed Cod, brilliant, lightly battered and very little grease. I also had the prawn cocktails, not those frozen and squashed ones, these were real prawns lightly battered and tasty. Chunky chips were pretty good too. Not too...long of a wait but I've seen this place packed during the holidays, so plan in advance in summer.More

The best fish and chips I have ever tasted. Didn’t feel bloated or greased up like you do with other fish and chip places. This is awesome.

One of our party had eaten from here while staying at Ulladulla before Christmas, the claim was best fish ‘n chips. We were in walking distance staying at Burrill Lake for a long weekend so this was dinner when we arrived on Friday ... so...good it was also dinner on Sunday night. Chips were thick and golden, the Mahi Mahi was sweet, and a big piece of fish - as was the serve of flathead. The calamari rings super soft, and I’d say the best salt and pepper squid I’ve had. We’ll be back in region in a couple of months and takeaway fish and chips is on the menu more than once. Be there at least 30 minutes before closing time and expect a 15+ min wait for your food - it’s worth it (beer and wine available from the cellars 3 doors down the street)More

We had some great fish and chips from here on a recent trip to the south coast which we enjoyed on a picnic table just on the edge of the river. Burrill beach and the south side of Dolphin Point are well worth a visit...when in the same area.More

Love this place for the fish and prawns. Could easily give the chips a miss as they are absolutely nothing special.....just frozen yellow unpleasant things. There is always a decent wait, but the staff work hard to power through.

My friend & I ordered a bunch of things to try out, calamari rings & seafood sticks & fish cocktails & a bunch of chips, with a handful of fresh school prawns. The calamari rings were delicious & were so tender, not chewy at all,...definitely the best part. The seafood sticks were fine, it's hard to mess those up. The fish was okay, the flavour was basic but the crumbs were good. None of it was too greasy or oily. The chips were average though. It took maybe 10 minutes to cook the whole thing, pretty reasonable. The prawns were so fresh & delicious, I only grabbed maybe 200 grams but I wish I'd bought more, they were so good.More

Outstanding food as always. Unfortunately, very poor customer service experience. Female staff member very rude and hostile towards me (the customer). Displayed clear signs of unfriendly and unhelpful manners. Argued with customer in front of other customers. This negative experience reflects poorly on a small...local business. Will be reluctant to visit again, after being treated so badly in front of other customers and staff members. One bad experience goes a very long way in a small town.More

If you’re talking about a picture that’s on this review, then I’d just report it to TripAdvisor (there should be a link on/near the pic), then just state that it’s no longer applicable, and therefore incorrect!!!!!
