Louise's Fish & Chips 7.7
Downtown – Railroad Avenue Corridor
Old-school counter-service fish-and-chips shop doing crisp fried cod, prawns, and chowder at wallet-friendly prices. Go for quick meals, takeout, and reliable fry work.
Must-Try Dishes: Cod Fish & Chips, Prawn Basket, Clam Chowder
Scores:
Value: 8.9 Service: 7.6 Consistency: 7.9 Food Quality: 7.8 Atmosphere: 6.8 Cultural Relevance: 7.5
What makes it special: Classic fish-and-chips at fair prices with speedy service.
Who should go: Families and takeout-focused diners
When to visit: Late lunch to miss peak dinner rush
What to order: Cod combo; prawns; clam chowder
Insider tip: Ask for extra lemon and tartar—no charge.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Free parking lot directly in front of the strip mall; plenty of open spots except during evening rush.
Dress code: Completely casual—jeans, shorts, and tees are standard.
Noise level: Low to moderate; mostly takeout traffic with short dine-in stays.
Weekend wait: 10–15 minutes during dinner rush, faster for takeout orders.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait—orders come out within 5–8 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—side salads and fries are available, but most entrées feature seafood.
Vegan options: Minimal—only fries or coleslaw fit vegan standards.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free fryer; not safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it’s more of a casual grab-and-go spot than a sit-down atmosphere for conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's counter-service with a few tables; seating is first-come, first-served and rarely full.
Is it kid-friendly? Absolutely—families frequent it for quick, affordable meals. Kid-size fish baskets and fries make it easy for younger eaters.
Best For
Better for: Faster and cheaper than full-service seafood restaurants; ideal for casual meals and takeout.
Skip if: You’re looking for ambiance, cocktails, or grilled seafood options—try Cured: Fish Bar instead.
