With Mapquest in hand, me and the 81 yr old mama in the Escort managed to drive by this little retro snack shack straight from the 50's. We turned around,backed up and parked, walked into what looked like an informal old Stewarts Rootbeer Style place and were greeted by "CHIPPER" happy friendly staff and a few people dining...
Not knowing what was best I ordered a Captains Plate which for the uninformed was a little of everything, and mom had the fish and chips single order...
The absolute best chips almost true to the english style were to be had - simply scrumptious. My mama
confirmed they were every bit as good as the ones she has eaten in Kearny (The Argyle) and also in Devon Pa Scottish Games....The freshly battered -not strong tasting -but delish fish was great. My only complaint was the scallops on my platter should'nt belong there - not only was the coating different but it tasted awful to me - I guess I didnt expect that...and will never order that bait again.
The only critcism Other than those mothball tasting scallops was as we dined I noticed the floor needed a good washing as the ketchup gobs looked pretty old and dried up and the tables were tacky with grease missing salt and pepper shakers - At the prices paid I would have wanted a cleaner place to eat....as everything else was almost perfect.
I would RECOMMEND this place to eat to anyone longing for the old fashioned taste of real authenic Scottish Fish and Chips!!
Pros: Excellent Authentic Fish & Chips
Cons: Needs Better Housekeeping!
