Very nice dinner, it was fresh and chips were perfectly crispy. After reading reviews saying the fish was smelly it made me think that it might not be nice but the snapper we had was good.

Went and ordered a cheeseburger with a hash brown, good price of only $8.60. They were quite busy and I was really appreciative of the young guy working in the front taking orders, he was so apologetic about the 20 minute wait, he has really great customer service and served his customers with an upbeat attitude and smile. You can see they are really trying their best to serve great food and great customer service. Well done, I know how hard it can be in hospitality when it’s busy!

Absolutely AMAZING !!!!!! Dont stop what you are doing, you have a winning formula. Snapper was super fresh and juicy and tasted less than 24hrs old. Better still, once we had finished our fish and chips there was only a tiny bit of oil on the paper. Cant wait to come back. And after reading your reviews we got the chicken burger too which was amazing !!!! Well done team :)
