We stop here for lunch every time we are in town. Been coming here for over 10 years. Fish and chips are great as always.

My husband and I wanted to check out a local spot on a Monday night before Christmas. We decided to try this place out. We made a takeout order on our phone and it took 15 minutes for the food to be ready. We ordered a 3-piece fish and chips meal and a 1/2 pint of clam chowder. The meal came with a coleslaw and I asked for tartar sauce. I didn't like the coleslaw because the sauce tasted a little sour. The fries were a little bland and not crispy either. The fish itself was good. I do wish the coating it was fried in was more seasoned because when I bit into it, it was cooked well but not a lot of flavor. The clam chowder was good. It was creamy and the vegetables were cooked well. They were tender but not too soft or mushy. We both liked the hush puppies because they were crisp on the outside but soft and moist on the inside. They had a perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness. The tartar sauce was good. I tasted dill and I enjoyed it a lot; it was a good dip with the fries. read more

Totally disappointed... we went a few weeks back. Silly but we were most looking forward to trying the coleslaw with cucumbers and wasabi. I can't even tell you how disappointing it was. It was the tiniest little container for three dollars. When I say tiny, I mean the size that they put to go condiments in. There was no cucumbers and zero wasabi flavor. I even went to the counter to ask her if they had given me the right thing and she confirmed yes. The three shrimp "snack "was $16.95 and read it was three jumbo butterfly fried shrimp. These were not jumbo. They were medium at best... I dare say on the small side. And for sure look like they came out of a Costco bag of frozen fried shrimp. I don't even remember what I ordered. I think I had the clam strips and everything just tasted like it came frozen from the store. I also ordered a small clam chowder, which was similar story to the coleslaw. The smallest container. Think child size ice cream cup. The menu says it's homemade clam chowder.... It was very underwhelming. The atmosphere is very cute in this place, the beers on top seem like they might be appealing if you drink. Lol... the food is nothing to speak about and extremely overpriced. Even the french fries taste like they are out of a bag. I hate writing bad reviews. But if I can save someone going in for a quick bite, spending well over $50 for just that and receiving what is seemingly frozen food you can easily make it home. For a fraction of the cost that is. read more

We visit Alfie's about once a month and we always order the 3 piece Fish n Chips "complete with hush puppies and coleslaw" x 2. Yesterday we chose to celebrate Valentine's Day at Alfie's with our usual order. However, when we received our orders, the fish n chips were saturated in oil! The chips seemed to be leftover small pieces and were overcooked. Normally I would give Alfie's five stars. Yesterday's visit barely made a two star review Extremely disappointed, especially after making the round trip drive of 40 minutes!! read more

Clam chowder is great. The tempura veggies as good as well. The fish was good but small pieces, a lot of batter.

We initially came to this place in hopes of finding some authentic British fish and chips. However, we were left disappointed by the bland flavors. Family combo (2.5/5): The family combo we ordered had five pieces of fried fish, five pieces of fried chicken, and 21 pieces of popcorn shrimp, along with hush puppies and coleslaw. Both the fish and chicken lacked flavor without the condiments. The fries were also not very crispy. Clam chowder (5/5): The clam chowder, however, was filled with a good amount of clams. Service is counter service and the interior had a holiday pub vibe with all the Christmas decor. This was a fine meal in a pinch, but not sure if I would come back. read more

It's been at least 20 years since the last time I was in Lompoc. I was thrilled to see that Alfie's was still open. The restaurant changed for the better. The food stayed delicious. The fish was crispy and not oily. I got the 3-piece combo which was a lot with the fries. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Lompoc. read more

Found the place through Yelp and so glad I did. I went with the two piece fish and chips. You get two 3 oz pieces of fried fish, fries, and hush puppies. They also put some of the fried batter that falls off the fish when frying. They had three different kinds of malt vinegar which was interesting. One was a little on the strong side, it said it was craft brewed. I went with the brand called Four Monks. The fries were crispy but the hush puppies were awesome. read more

Stopped by with my family to grab a late lunch. I didn't know what "hushpuppies" were, so I asked the guy. And he gave me not only a detailed description but 2 free samples of these "hushpuppies." We chatted a little bit, and I found he was the owner of the place. He said the restaurant was around since the 1960s, and he loved this town (Lompoc.) I ordered the combo bucket, which included fish, chips, chicken strips, hushpuppies, and coleslaw. And these were de-licious!!! Even my mom, who doesn't usually eat fried food, thoroughly enjoyed this bucket of fried mess. Too bad it's 5 hours away from my house. Otherwise, I'd probably come here at least twice a week! The inside of the restaurant was inviting and spacious, and it looks like a great place for a group hang out as well as family's gatherings. read more

I still go to Alfie's Fish and Chips at every opportunity. Friendly staff, a great atmosphere and some of the best fish and chicken I have ever had. I finally tried the chicken strips and they were great. Everything I have had there was great. Stop by and treat yourself to some great fish and chips. Try the Catfish. It's incredibly good. read more

If only zero stars was an option, the service was terrible. Our bread bowl was rock solid and they walked away for a half hour while laughing about it. No refund was offered, we had to ask and got attitude about it when we did. We waited in an empty restaurant for over 30 minutes for fish and chips. No apology, no refunds, no good customer service, and no soft bread bowls in sight. read more

Quaint small town fish & chips spot. They have wine & beer. Friendly service, but it seems like it's just 1 person manned. Although it didn't take too long for our food. You could tell that the fish was fried in fresh oil because the batter was super crispy, didn't have a weird aftertaste, and it was a beautiful golden brown. Parking is small. Bottles of condiments and table were a little greasy/sticky. Women's restroom was clean but stank. Not sure if that's a sewer piping issue like some places have. Clam chowder was good. $68 for party of 4. read more

Always good, always fresh and the help are always accommodating. Didn't want the hush puppy, so they gave me another piece of fish. Love the chips also read more

We love English style fish and chips. Alfie's still nails it. It nice they have a few English items for sale. The chowder is good. Don't waste time going to the tourist places for chowder and fish & chips Alfie's does it best. They would get a perfect 5 stars if they offered grilled fish. read more

This was a random find for me. I was in Lompoc to check up on a construction project. My stomach was rumbling but the only options in town were tacos, pizza or hamburgers and none of that perked my interest. I stumbled on Alfie's Fish and Chips. I ordered the two piece complete which comes with hush puppies and coleslaw as well. The fish was breaded and fried to perfection. The hush puppies had a nice crunch but not overdone. The employees were friendly and professional and the place is spotlessly clean. Alfie's was a great find. Will definitely eat here again! read more

I saw this place featured on the local news, so I had to try it out. I thought it was certainly fine, but definitely overrated. The service is counter style, so you order at the counter, find yourself a place to sit and and they let you know when order is ready. They may offer the most authentic English Fish and Chips, but I certainly have had much better elsewhere. The fried fish was very crispy, but not necessarily the tastiest. The fries were also very crispy, but seemed to have the texture of being previously frozen. I ordered the two pieces of fish and chips which goes for $12.79. It's served on a bed of deep fried shredded onions which I've not seen anywhere else. I didn't find this particularly appetizing and perhaps that's what makes it so authentic. This gives the basket the appearance of looking much fuller. Personally, I'd rather they offered more chips to fill the basket. read more

Last night I had one of the finest seafood casual dining experiences at Alfie's. I am on a week-long business trip for training and staying at a local Embassy Suites in Lompoc. After a long day of work, I was feeling some fish and chips calling my name and chose Alfie's for its proximity and easy-to-find location. From the street, the place has a curb appeal and looks and feels like a nice and fun place to eat. There was no second guessing myself after walking through the front door. The smell of delicious seafood enticed all my senses. The place is well-themed with beautiful décor inside and plenty of seating for dining couple, families, or large groups. The gentleman at the front counter made excellent, knowledgeable dinner suggestions to me based on my preferences he inquired to know before I made an order. I spent just over $50 (including a tip for the nice counter guy) and settled on a Clam Chowder with a Bread bowl, Cajun Catfish Combo with Shoestring fries, an order of Calamari and four Jumbo Shrimp Side entrées. I was offered containers to take ketchup, lemons and other items from the self-serve condiment counter while waiting for my order. When my order was ready the presentation was beautiful. The items were individually properly and neatly packaged in a large bag for take-out. The bag smelled so good and special that I strapped it in my front passenger seat as if it were a child. When I got to the hotel down the road, I unpacked the food on the table and dived in. The food was still hot (as if it were fresh out of the kitchen) and I enjoyed the best dinner ever. The clam chowder was full of flavor; creamy and chunky with just the right amount of crunch with the added oyster crackers. The bread bowl was warm inside with a crispy outer crust. (They even gave me the gluten-doughy-center core from the bread bowl, which I loved!) The Jumbo Shrimp was perfectly seasoned and crispy. The calamari was excellent. The catfish was perfect-- juicy with the perfect amount of herbs and spices and crunch. The meal was enough for two people, but I binged, and the post-meal coma made me feel like a king for the rest of the night. Before this week is over I am coming back for more. This restaurant is a model for what others should strive to become. Thank you! read more

Best food in a dumpy town. We spent a week here eating out every meal and this is definitely the place to go. Excellent fish & chips and other food as well. Great and friendly service as well, clean restaurant, good times. Will definitely be going back. read more

It was really quiet when we went in, my husband and I were the only two customers in the place at the time. It was very cute area, I really wanted Fish and Chips and this definitely fit the bill. I'm from Arizona and not used to paying nearly as much here for food, but it was still a good meal. 40$ for a shared "full" seafood combo meal with 2 beers without the tip. The staff were pretty nice and place was super clean. There was a few flags hanging up and they have some special dishes and events going on throughout the month, definitely want to come back. If craving for some fish and chips, it's a solid place. :) read more

The cashier was friendly and polite. Just need to work on trying not to burn over cook the food. read more

Alfie's Fish & Chips - This is supposed to be Coconut Shrimp. Very disappointed, have never had a bad experience until now. - Fish & Chips Near Me - Lompoc, California

Good place to go if one is hankering for fish and chips. While it's not the same as what you would find the UK it's definitely appetizing. Your order at the counter and they bring the food to you. They are sufficient condiments on the tables. The ambience is British with numerous flags On the ceiling. They also have other British meals. There is even a red phone booth outside the restaurant. If you haven't tried it, it's a good place to have good food read more

Have waited several years to visit Alfies. Well worth the wait! Fish and chips cooked perfectly and were hot! That is an often overlooked requirement. Just as good as those you will find in the UK. The owner was very personal. Delivered my food himself. Not fancy. Very clean. A good selection of malt vinegars - very important! Thank you. read more

Good food , Good service . 5 stars all the way. I always like the old school flags & model sailboat. read more

Very expensive for frozen fish and chips and a drink. Over forty dollars for two people...not worth it

Hubby and I are in town on vacation and he is always searching for the "perfect" fish and chips. He has found it at Alfie's In his opinion it had the exact ratio of fish and batter. He also VERY much enjoyed the sweet hush puppies. I had the lunch special popcorn shrimp and fries. All in all we would eat here again. We walked in and went up to the bar to place our order before choosing a table and getting our fountain drinks. The cashier was friendly and let us know they would bring our food out shortly. The place was clean and seemed to be patronized my many locals. The bathrooms were also clean. read more

Ok, I've never been to Britain, but I have had some lesser fish n chips around these parts. Pretty sure ALFIES DOES FISH AND CHIPS AND HUSHPUPPIES RIGHT. No, I'm going hyperbolic: these are the best I have ever had. EVERY TIME TOO. Generous portions, we split a 3 piece combo between to adults, which is plenty with the fries and the fritters. The tartar is spot on, and the soda fountain is fresh kegs every time. The new location is nice. A little funky odor inside. Maybe that's all the frying oil- But this not going to stop us! Nice people too! We drive there from the Santa Ynez Valley specifically for Ally's fish and chips! read more

Long established Lompoc institution. Always can depend on a great meal. Love taco Tuesday fish tacos.

Came here for lunch. Alfies has been around Lompoc since I have been around Lompoc and that is quite a long time. Conveniently located off of H Street. I had the fish tacos that had fried halibut and cabbage and a cream sauce in a soft corn tortilla it was very good. Their fish is light not too greasy and the tartar sauce is very good. It was a weekday so it wasn't very crowded easy in-and-out access read more

Great food! Theres lunch specials M-F till 2PM! My bf ordered the fish and chip basket and a drink. And I ordered the 2 piece complete. We split the two piece complete and it was perfect with the drink that came with the lunch special basket. All fountain drinks come with free refills and that is always great! Our food came out piping hot and it was so good! The fish was crispy and juicy, the fries where hot and crispy and the hush puppy balls were also great ( I didn't know but the hush puppies are kind of like a corn bread ball that's fried, crispy on the outside and soft cornbready on the inside . I recommend this place to everyone. If you plan to stop by make sure it's the location that is open bc there's one near by that is closed. :) read more

Staff seems friendly, but food is lacking. I ordered the standard 2 piece fish chips Hush puppies and cole slaw. I don't eat mayo so coke slaw and tarter sauce was not reviewed. Lady in front of me was excited to finally get here after waiting weeks, so I was glad I chose this place. Well, I ordered a beer and it was good, but I waited and waited for my food. I arrived at 12:5-0 to miss the "lunch rush" waited to order, then waited another 20 minutes for the food. Girl at the counter was nice enough to ask if I'd like extra hush puppies instead of coke slaw. I agreed. Glad I kept my receipt as I witnessed 2 customers that had send backs. I got my order and there was no hush puppies but there were no hush puppies, and there was. Extra Cole slaw and tarter sauce. So I checked my receipt. Instead of my order of no tarter sauce and cole slaw, it says No HP sub CS.... Well I will not return. I've seen this place for decades but glad I waited to try it, and won't make the same mistake again. Food was a little greasy and not seasoned well as others have said. Definitely not one of the best restaurants in Lom'poke' say it right. Lol. read more

Top-notch fish and chips, reasonably priced, and the yummiest fritters I've ever had.

Worst Fish and Chips ever. Greasy. Mouth felt like I drank a glass of oil. Fish had absolutely no seasoning.

My first time trying a clam chowder bread bowl was at this restaurant and the bread was harder than a rock. I almost thought you weren't supposed to eat the bread with it. When I showed them how hard the bowl was he said she left it in the oven too long and walked away and laughed about it. No refund was offered and when I asked for one there was no communication or apology about it. And the wait was outrageous. Won't be going here again. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. read more

It's OK. Average deep fried seafood served with steak fries, hush puppies made from corn bread mix, and average coleslaw at average prices. Overall, it just makes me miss Santa Barbara's late great Mac's Fish and Chips. read more

I ordered the three piece coconut shrimp meal and when I got it the shrimp were way overcooked almost burnt and we ordered a four pack of the pumpkin hush puppies and they were overcooked also I asked who was cooking and they said Nettie well she doesn't know how to cook we both went home with a stomach ache Alfie's is not like it used to be and we have been going to Alfie's since 1970 it is surely going downhill it doesn't even taste the same!! We will not be coming back until you hire somebody that knows how to cook fish and shrimp without burning the shrimp and this is the second time this has happened to me I don't advise going there don't waste your money just for the two of us it was $51!!! read more

Best fish and chips!! Genuinely authentic and tasty!! Service was friendly hope they don't ever change

Love the customer service here and the fish was cooked to perfection. The serving was massive and 2 piece, with fries, coleslaw and hush puppies is way too much food for one person. I think overall I would have liked a little more flavor in the batter on the fish, but still very authentic English food in the middle of Lompoc, CA! read more
