    Food is excellent Staff are Rude…read moreParking is a matter of luck. On the main road. It is definitely not a place to take your kids as it is very dangerous seating and without any barriers to the main road. Must be very careful when opening the doors of your car at the offside as the ledge is higher than the pavement and you will visit the body shop . In short if you are not craving for fish and chips go elsewhere

    Got really hungry after a big day walking around the coast. When you wonder around next to the sea,…read moreyou starting to crave for some "Fish & Chips"! I hop onto Google since Yelp did not have much, the first one that came through was the "Legendary Fish & Chips". Yelp did not said much on this restaurant, so I decided to give it a try. The place is very casual. The restaurant has a peculiar set up. Half of it is a convenient store while the other half is the kitchen. The dining experience is not fancy. Select your combo, pay for it, wait for it to be ready, take away and dine it anywhere. Outside the store, outdoor parasol and benches are provided! To be honest, as long as the food taste great at a reasonable price; it does not need music and high class decor! The menu varies a little according to the fishing market. So do expect small fluctuations in the menu. I recommend carrying cash to avoid using EFPOS / Credit Card. Card payment attracts a 1.6% surcharge as to date. Onto the menu, there are a bunch of combos you can choose. They offer burgers as well, but why would you? The fish & chips are freshly made in front (which requires a short wait). Staffs is very nice. The restaurant cook also allows you to select a wide range of fish which you can have as your main. I do not have anything positive to say about the chips... The chip is boring... But the fish is the real gold. I have eaten Fish & Chips at some fine restaurant which costed more and taste like sand paper... But not this one! The fish does really stands up to the "legendary" title. It is smooth & buttery on the inside and crispy on the outside. I wish I had second piece of fish for another $7.00... Will definitely visit again when nearby! Hint: The shop is located exactly on the highway. You can only get to it when you driving from South to North bound. There is a street right after the shop for street parking. Be sure not to miss the turn!

    This little place is off beaten path. It seemed like it served the locals as well as tourists which…read morespeaks to its quality. We ordered prawn bowl and salmon bowl. Salmon was with rice and prawns I had with salad. You can choose whatever option suits you. A glass of Australian wine was a nice accompaniment. Service was quick. It is a small place with most of the seating outside.

    They did not honor the Yelp check-in for a free beer or wine…read more.. Actually, the employee, who I believe was the owner, even said no rudely. Please delete this offer on Yelp. Quality/Quantity - If you like deep fried foods and beer, this is the place for you. Family box $82 - The calamari rings were my favorite. 3 pieces of fish, 4 prawns, 8 calamari rings, 4 oysters, chips, potato cakes, etc. All were fried well and lightly breaded, just the way I prefer. 2 sauces, which they claim were homemade...? The sweet chili sauce tasted the same as the ones I buy in a bottle. They also had tartar sauce. Lemon slices were large and fresh. Atmosphere - This place was not easy to find, in an alley and off to the side. Google maps had it in a slightly different location. Outdoor seating. Open 7 days a week from noon till 8pm. Service - Counter service. But there was a waiter, who was pretty good. Checked on us a few times, and got us everything we asked for. The owner or manager or chef whoever he was, sure did NOT like Yelp... Price - $82AUD, $56. Good value for 5 people. Okay, we are such light eaters. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success and with your 3+ locations...? Please update/delete your Yelp check-in offer.
