Fort Cafe & Take Away
Ranked #7 of 37 Restaurants in Lerwick
Cuisines: British
Restaurant details
Reviewed 17 February 2017 via mobile

The Fort Chippy has had a revamp, with a lovely new design in the cafe window, with the walls lined with wet wall material. It's like moving your tables and chairs into the bathroom and having your dinner in there - easy maintenance, yet hideous design idea. The best food is served in the cafe, cooked in the back mostly by youngsters. They put out far better chips than the mass frying in the shop manages. Go and take a seat for your meal, you're unlikely to be disappointed with the food.

What a great chip shop and cafe, if your looking for fresh fish and chips and all the usual burgers etc., this is the place to go. Great value and everything is cooked fresh, it's mouth watering!

Quick service eat in or takeaway. Nice fresh fish. Perfect chips. Good kids options. Avoid the 5 o'clock rush.

A colleague and I came here for diner while working in the area. The restaurant was so wee and cosy and reminded me of an old school chipper. The lass serving us gave us cans instead of bottles of irn bru like we asked and once we had paid and left we also realised that she didn't even charge us for the drinks in the end. The fish and chips was delicious and the staff were lovely and friendly, it was nice to be able to sit down and eat.

Best fish and chip shop I've visited. Expensive but worth it for the taste of the food. The downside to this place is its staff. Most of them and two in particular (a slim blonde middle aged lady and a large dark haired older lady) is very rude and has no manners what so ever. Great food. Shame about the staff!
