What was most concerning was seeing a staff member wearing an upside-down Australian flag on the back of their shirt during the Reconciliation Day long weekend. I found this extremely offensive, inappropriate, and disrespectful given the significance of the occasion. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and reflected poorly on the business. Customers should be able to enjoy a meal without being confronted by political or protest messaging from staff. Good food doesn't excuse rude service or offensive behaviour from staff. Based on this experience, I won't be returning and cannot recommend this business to others.

Right next to promenade plaza, and a short walk from where we were staying at the Bateman's bay lodge First impressions Sooo busy! We drove by twice in the afternoon and there were huge lines both times. Its popularity attests to it's food quality! We returned at 7, where it was comparably a lot less busy. Still a small line, but worth it! Clean and bustling interiors, a few spots to sit on the grass outside (and 2 benches) Service Had to wait about 20 minutes for a large family pack, but it was definitely worth it. You could tell everything was freshly fried - it was piping hot. Service staff happily gave us 4 extra cups, and opened 3 of our beer bottles when we asked. Ambience Serene and picturesque if you're sitting inside. Rather more rowdier and busy indoors. Classic fish n' chip shop vibes. Food Delicious!!! Everything was great. Chicken salt fries were so delicious and crispy. If anything, there was a tad too much salt on the food in general (sorry! I had to find something to fault). The potato scallops were so good. And the calamari was nice and crispy too. The smaller fish was nicer than the big one - juicier. It wasn't by any means cheap, but it was worth it for a good meal.

The wait was long (30+mins) to get our food (after ordering) and we wanted oysters but was told that it wasn't served until 1:30pm which would be another hour from the time we got to the front of the line.... so bummers.

The food was... fine. I think we would have done much better by sticking to seafood (the rock oysters and shared fish platter looked stunning) instead of venturing into some more gourmet choices further down the menu. The wood-fired margarita pizza was more thick cheese-bready than light, fluffy and blackened-blistered, so I'd avoid pizza completely and instead go for something like the anitpasto platter, which was well stocked and delicious. While The Starfish might not satisfy your epicurean longings, it'll certainly fill you up in that "cheap 'n' cheerful" way that is sure tough not to like.
