Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The fish at North Road Fish is always fresh and expertly cooked, making it a favorite among locals.

Generous servings of not only the fish but also chips ensure you get value for your money. Many patrons rave about the old-fashioned chips, stating they're reminiscent of those homemade tastes from back in the day.

The service shines, with staff who are friendly and helpful, contributing to a welcoming dining atmosphere.

Affordable prices make this spot accessible to all, with meals costing between $10 and $20.

The convenience of no-contact delivery and takeaway options caters well to busy families and on-the-go individuals.

Most Disliked

A few customers noted a desire for a wider selection of fish types, as the menu mainly showcases blue cod and common fish offerings.

During peak hours, some patrons experienced longer waiting times, particularly for takeaway orders, which can be a concern if you're in a rush.

Although the establishment is casual and welcoming, the simplicity of the decor might not be appealing to everyone searching for a more upscale dining experience.

The takeaway packaging could be improved; some reviewers mentioned that the food was too crowded in the containers, leading to a bit of a mess when unpacking.

We have been searching for some “chipper chips” like back home in Ireland for a long time as we have been away for 7 years, this is the closest we’ve got between here and Australia! The best old school homemade chips, cooked perfectly in clean oil. We loved them so much, we got 3 bags in one day!!
