“ I love this place. Its the kind of spot that makes this city so special. No fuss, just beautifully executed fried fish and chips, etc. Its hard to do what this gentleman does. The genius of it is in not trying to make it something its not, keeping it tres authentique. Some people dont get that, nor will they ever. Its not T.G.I.McFunsters RIP Bourdain its Piccadilly on Polk. ”
“ The owner is genuinely a nice guy. Always feel welcomed from the moment when I walk in because he always grates me with a smile. The taste of the fish and onion rings reminds us of England. It is fresh, fluffy and fulfilling. Honestly, it beats the fish and chips that I had in England! Highly recommend it! One of the few good places that only locals know about. Also the prawn shrimp are tasty too. ”
“ Piccadilly fish and chips from the start brought back memories of my time in Cambridge England. I walked in purely on a recommendation and was beyond amazed with the quality of food and the affordable price. This place is one of the few remaining that doesnt get the appreciation it deserves. During my second trip I tried their crab cakes and enjoyed them as well. The fish I personally believe to be better than Cambridges. ”
“ Surprised that there are so many bad reviews. Food was cooked right after the order. Cant be soggy. Awesome fish fries and onion rings, so crispy. Can be bland to some people especially if youre used to salty food, but to me it was great just add some ketchup and adjust it to your own taste. ”
“ I stopped by craving fish and chips. Apparently, it can be busy at this location, so calling your order in ahead of time is very wise. I got a 5 piece fish and chips and 3 pieces Ala cart. I was extremely happy with the food. The restaurant staff were polite and quick. The food was delicious. Craving fish and chips? I would recommend this location. Thanks so much!! ”
“ This was my second visit to Piccadilly Fish Chips, I really enjoyed the food. Last time I ordered fried mushrooms, I always order fried mushrooms on any menu. These were the first time I had freshly breaded mushrooms, not prebreaded and frozen to be resold. They must make these inhouse. The same can be said for their fried zucchini, just look at the picture. Those are fresh! The chips are soft and creamy on the inside. These are not fries, these are definitely chips. The fish is tender and the prawns are flavorful. I picked up my order and walked home with them in 8 minutes, it had no negative affect. Although the smell of the chips were driving me crazy during the walk. This fat gurl highly recommends Piccadilly Fish Chips. ”
“ I miss this place. I ate there for like 20 years before moving away. This place is awesome and the food is greasy. They used to have fried squid, I hope they still do as it was excellent. This is a very unique place, and I hope to be there again one day. ”
“ I dont really understand the bad reviews fish is perfectly fried and crispy and the man working there was friendly. The fries are okay, but the fish shines. I was most disappointed by not realizing I needed to order tartar sauce my fault though! ”
