Piccadilly Fish & Chips 7.7
Polk Gulch
Cash-friendly counter serving British-style chips with fried seafood; the fries come thick-cut and piping hot. A quick, no-frills option when you’re craving crisp potatoes on Polk.
Must-Try Dishes: Thick-Cut Chips, Fish & Chips combo, Curry Sauce with chips
Scores:
Value: 9 Service: 7.4 Consistency: 7.8 Food Quality: 7.9 Atmosphere: 6.2 Cultural Relevance: 7.5
What makes it special: British-style thick-cut chips fried to order.
Who should go: Fries lovers on a budget
When to visit: Mid-afternoon for shortest waits
What to order: Chips with curry sauce, fish & chips, onion rings
Insider tip: Ask for extra-crisp chips; they’ll keep them in the oil longer.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking is available on Polk and side streets, but it can be competitive during dinner hours. No valet or lot.
Dress code: Completely casual—jeans, tees, and sneakers are the norm.
Noise level: Low to moderate—you can hold a conversation easily, though the fryer hum and counter bustle are noticeable.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes; orders move quickly at the counter.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait, food comes out within 10 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—chips, onion rings, and sides are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Limited—chips without sauces are vegan, but options are minimal.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free menu; cross-contamination likely due to shared fryers.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it’s a no-frills counter spot better suited for a quick bite than a date-night atmosphere.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—reservations aren’t needed; seating is limited but turnover is fast.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—kids who like fries and fish sticks will be happy, though there are no high chairs or kids’ amenities.
Best For
Better for: A cheap, quick fix for hot, thick-cut British-style fries compared to trendier, pricier pubs.
Skip if: You want a sit-down meal with ambiance, broad menus, or dietary accommodations beyond fried staples.
