Now I hate to can a place that is trying to provide a vegan option but wow. Not good I'm afraid. My burger was passable but expensive for what it was, my wife's was inedible. The 'felafel' was unlike anything is seen before. Grey and hard. They'd have better luck calling it a mock chicken burger. Probably not somewhere I'll ever come back for.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner, they will give you home style food at a home style price - the service is friendly, just like you'd expect from a 'diner' style location. Old style value, old style quality - well recommended in the Victor main street. There's plenty of tables inside, and a smattering outside - I can't really fault this place at all.

After a few mediocre experiences here, I find myself left with two questions - one, why do I…read morecontinue to return to the 'Original' Victor Harbor Fish Shop, and two, quite how have they earned the title of South Australia's 'best' fish and chip shop?? As for question one, I keep going back because the alternatives for fish and chips at Victor are thinning out unfortunately - the Southern Fleurieu Fish shop has closed down, Cafe 61 is gone, as is Stingray's that came after it, the other competing fish and chip shop on the main street is closed, either for renovations or a new store altogether, and it's just that little bit too far to go up to Port Elliott on a whim for fish and chips. So I'm guessing it's convenience. The fish is actually fairly good, if expensive for the small servings supplied - and the chips are hand cut which is a bonus. On my most recent visit, however, not only were the staff their usual abrupt and slightly surly selves, they also had an extremely limited range available - and would only cook chips in batches of $5 worth. No seafood sticks, potato cakes, burgers, hot dogs, calamari, yiros, prawns, fish cakes - or even a selection of fish, it was battered butterfish and $5 worth of chips, or nothing. Signs proclaiming all items would be available on the 9th onwards (this was on the 3rd January) did little to appease my kids who ended up only eating chips. To add to the fun, they'd chosen to close the dining room too, which send us out wandering down to the esplanade to try and find somewhere to eat out of the sun. Not happy, Jan. Previous encounters have included a selection of seafood (prawn cutlets, calamari, fish sticks) that I think must have gone in the oil a little before it was ready, for they were absolutely dripping oil when we got them, and a catering fiasco that we had to cancel and source elsewhere as they were unwilling to take an order of around $150 for a birthday party because it would have been their 'busy' time - of course, if I'd wandered in off the street and ordered $150 worth of fish and chips that would have been fine. All in all, as the stars say, I've experienced better. If you're happy to put up with an attitude that you're putting them out by buying food from them, and are craving fish and chips, you will usually get reasonable food here. I think I'll vote with my feet and take the trip to one of the alternatives down the road in future though. Note there is NO Eftpos here - painful if you've queued for nigh on an hour on a saturday lunchtime. I've said yes for Waiter service - as long as you use the dining room which is also more expensive than the take away - but you do get a seat inside and a plate, so it equals out some. Outdoor seating is a couple of tables just outside on the street.

McDonalds. We pretty much all know what you're going to find here, right?? That's right - a…read moreMcDonalds. This one wins over all the other places to dine in Victor for one thing, and one thing alone, the Mango Macadamia cheesecake in the McCafe. I know McDonalds is a chain. I know every single store has access to the cheesecake. What I can depend on, here, is getting a piece when I want one. For some reason, there is always Mango Macadamia cheesecake in the McCafe, whereas so many other Macca's have sold it, or don't carry it. Ok. so I can be a little bit obsessive about this particular offering. I've driven to three McDonalds chasing a slice in town. If you haven't tried it, and like you cheesecake and dessert and stuff like that, hunt down a slice, with your favoured choice of coffee, and enjoy. And remember, when you're craving it, and you can't find any, there'll be some, here, waiting. :)

It doesn't matter much if you come through the drive through, or park and come in to the counter, it's as bad either way. I'm going to be generous, and suggest it may just be that they like to be thorough with what they're doing. It's not even like it's one staff member, I'm talking here lunch, dinner, random mid afternoon, over multiple visits over some three years - every single time, there's a noticeable delay in getting your food. They do, however, get the order right. In all those visits here, I've never once had an order with incorrect food in it. As far as the food itself, likewise, it's been what I expect from KFC - no stale chips or dried out chicken. That's saying something, too, maybe all the stores should slow down some and make sure they're doing it right?
