I arrived at The Chippy Doon The Lane at the right time, around 5:45 p.m., on Tuesday 16 July 2019…read more The walk in to the entrance was through an alley between two buildings and had signage marking the restaurant was getting near, as I approached not another person did appear. The name of the restaurant was in sideways vertical lettering on the building face. Making my way in the entrance, a host greeted me and took me to an open table. The dinner rush at that time was small, and I looked over the menu. I went with fried haddock, hand-cut baked/fried chips, small white orbs of pickled onions, and tartar sauce. For my beverage I went with water with lemon in it. Prices were excellent (for example the pickled onions were less than one pound) and the servings were very large, I was happy I was hungry. The fish was perfectly flaky and fried to a golden perfection. The tartar sauce was thick and flavorful and the fries not too crispy nor soggy. They were especially good dipped in the tartar sauce. The restrooms were marked by gender - male and female. I felt more at home with those terms than I did the terms man and woman used back in the United States of America. Found it as a form of confidence builder as a female solo traveler that night. It was still light out when I left and I felt safe walking back out through the alley and to my hotel.

The staff were very attentive , helpful and offered great customer service. The fish and chips were delicious. Also ordered the curry sauce and sausages . This fish and chip offered a great selection on their menu. The establishment is very clean and also sells products from Scotland. It should be noted I am from Washington DC and served with the United States Marines all over the World and traveled all over the United States of America. I definitely know a great cafe from all my travels and life experiences. This cafe is A must visit upon your traveling to the Highland's of Scotland. The establishment rates many stars. I definitely will be visiting again in the near future.

The Lemon & Herb Baked Fish was so flavorful and juicy. I tried a Deep Fried Mars Bar for the first time and loved it (I don't know what it reminds me of, but it's crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and hot enough to burn the top of your mouth). The star was definitely the Breaded Haddock. I've had fish and chips around the UK for much cheaper, but at a slightly higher price point you get a perfectly crispy piece of fish with double-fried chips. It's really more about the experience of being in a posh fish shop. It's packed with tourists, so you'll be handed a map of the city at the end -- which I found to be pretty funny given I was living in Edinburgh at the time and came with another local. But it's charming and certainly worth a visit.

In my previous review the chips I had bought didn't live up to my very high hopes. I'm now happy to say, after numerous visits, I have now had the chips of my dreams! I just loved Hooked and work tirelessly to spread the word around my friends and on Yelp! Everything I've had from here has been so great. The sweet potato chips are incredible. The mac and cheese balls are absolutely massive and so tasty!! The brie wedges are perfect! On my last visit I brought along some non-veggie friends and they loved everything they got - including the biggest serving of fish you've ever seen in your life!! I'm super happy I can update my review to a 5 star, Hooked really is the best chippy in Glasgow!
