What people say
This is one of the most renowned businesses in Kiama, known for its fresh seafood offerings, expertly brewed coffee, and a variety of other complementary dishes such as salads, desserts, and local specialties. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, always ready to assist customers. There are multiple seating options available, including cozy indoor tables and scenic outdoor areas with views of the surrounding scenery. However, the prices are higher for dine-in compared to takeaway, making it more economical to order your meal to go. Parking can be somewhat limited and busy during peak hours, but you can usually find space in the designated parking area located at the rear of the plaza, which is well-marked and easily accessible.
This restaurant is really good. The seafood was presented very cleanly; the shrimp, lobster, and fried fish were so fresh you could taste their sweetness. The fried items were crispy but not oily, and the sauces were just right. The salad and fries were also generously portioned, leaving me feeling very satisfied. The service was also excellent, with very friendly staff. I would definitely come back again if I have the chance.
It's the first time I've had fish and chips since traveling to Australia, and it's so delicious. It's also good for a walk with a sea view after meals. I want to go eat it again.
We visited Kiama on a trip and came here after hearing it was a popular spot. The fish and chips and all the food were delicious, and the service was amazing! we were very satisfied. The atmosphere was lovely, and it became a really happy and memorable experience for us. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Kiama!
From the outside it looks like your average Fish and chips take away / restaurant. But the food is far from average. We had the Fishermen's basket and Barramundi. They were excellent. The batter was crispy and all the seafood was fresh and delicious. The coleslaw was fresh as well and the chips were crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Another stand out feature was the service, they were friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great lunch.
