We shared an order of Fish and Chips, which lived up to its reputation as the best in town—better than some we've had in England! It came without salt, allowing us to add our own to suit our taste.

We ordered the fish and chips, which were as advertised- the best in town. They were even better than some we had in England! No salt was added, but we were able to season it to our liking.

However, the clam chowder was too salty, possibly from being the bottom of the pot as I found 3 bay leaves in my bowl. The burger was tasty, but the bottom bun was soggy and slightly burnt, indicating it may have been sitting on the line for too long. The staff was friendly, but disorganized and slow. The tables were dirty and I did not receive a second drink. The restaurant was not very busy, so there was no excuse for the poor service.

The food was decent, but nothing extraordinary. We tried their broasted chicken, which is supposedly their specialty, but it just tasted like regular fried chicken. We only tried it once because it is not a healthy option. However, we did enjoy the sides that came with it. We have never sat on the patio, but we heard they have one. They also have a bar for those looking for just drinks. Overall, we visit this restaurant occasionally.
