What FairCityFrasie likes about Russels Fish And Chip Takeaway:
The cod and chips at this restaurant were absolutely delicious - moist, slightly flaky, and cooked in a light, golden brown batter. Although we had to wait a little while for our food to be freshly cooked, the fish tasted fresh from the sea and had that classic fish and chips flavor. Our meal was served in polystyrene boxes with old-fashioned wooden chip forks, but it was still excellent. We were able to sit at a tab... View all feedback. What Robert W doesn't like about Russels Fish And Chip Takeaway:
During a recent visit to Whitby, my experience at this restaurant left a lot to be desired. When I asked a young employee at the takeaway window to fill my dog's water bottle, the proprietor insisted on selling me a bottle of water instead. Other nearby establishments were more than willing to accommodate our request, but not here. The greed displayed by the proprietor in this situation resulted in us deciding not to...

Located near the harbor, this bustling restaurant offers a mixed bag of experiences. While some patrons rave about the freshly cooked fish and chips, praising the generous portions and friendly staff, others recount disappointing service and subpar food. Complaints include rude interactions, cold chips, and unaccommodating policies. However, for those seeking quality fish and chips, many recommend trying other local establishments instead. Despite the variance in reviews, an undeniable charm exists in the homemade dishes, emphasizing the restaurant's potential. As with any dining experience, it's clear that consistency remains key to capturing the hearts—and stomachs—of visitors.
