Great fish + chips,scallops + fried clams. It's too bad that they are only Open on Fridays. I'd go there 2 or 3 times a week If they were open more days a week. read more

Small portions but they are good! And my kids like it because they are quick and not too expensive!

Ordered 3 fish and chips last night 1/16/26 from Foleys. First time and believe me last time. I don't think it was even fresh or frozen fish just old or the cheapest you can get as it was mushy and minced totally awful. The coating had no taste just oil .My 10 yr old great grandson loves fish and chips but had a mouth full and spit it out. Never again. read more

Foley's is everything that's good about Worcester crammed onto a tiny corner of Plantation St. it had been 20+ years since I last stopped in, and everything was just as I remembered it. Every memory I had from trips as a kid with my grandfather came flooding back in. It's hard to put a rating on that kind of nostalgia. The food was great, and the service was better. Glad to see their still going. read more

The STAFF COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE RUDE! We were extremely happy with the fish & chips and service we received the last time we visited here. Last week the fish was not only extra greasy (how could that be possible??) but all you could taste was the oily coating, no fish! Foley fish forever no more! read more

This place is the best!! Been going there since I was a kid. I love the fish but scallops are even better!!

Still the best! Go there, the people are awesome and the fish is tip top! Weirdos say greasy just cooked perfect and you still taste the sea! So yummy! read more

I read the reviews below and most of you are ridiculous...First of all, they are only open on Fridays. The exception to this is Ash Wednesday...This is the only day that they are open. Second, it specializes in Fish and Chip place. As an old school Catholic, we traditionally eat Fish on Friday....They have been open 46 years and cater to the community. Know their simple menu and call ahead to avoid the wait. If you want a fancy sit down dinner, this NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU! If you want a great, inexpensive seafood meal, come to Foley and Sons Fish and Chip. Pay Cash as they accept no cards, Apple pay, or other fancy pay methods... read more

Foley & Son Fish & Chip - two men and a woman in a kitchen - Seafood Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

It's been a couple years since I've been here. I have been craving scallops and clams so my boyfriend and I were cheating on MY diet and ordered scallops and whole belly clams. Spent over $40 ( cash only) and it was inedible. The seafood was a blackish grey in color and it was cooked twice, soooo over cooked. the fries were from the bottom of the bag (bits and pieces) and the coleslaw was 69.5 degrees (danger zone) tartar sauce was exactly the size of a thimble. We ordered extra for $.60 each. I didn't temp that, But my guess would be it's not 40' that all cold food should be served. I'm hoping nobody gets sick and I suggest DO NOT GO, DO NOT EAT HERE, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY I did call them just to let them know what they served me and couldn't believe they would allow that to be sold.. no pride in cooking there read more

I got a fish and whole belly clam dinner. The fish is pretty consistent whenever I order it. Not the biggest piece but decent size. The clams weren't up to par on this visit. Tasted soggy and not crispy enough. Slaw was good,need to get extra tartar sauce because it's a rather small cup you get. All in all I've been going here for years and always seems to satisfy. Was in the mood for clams today but if I wanted them again I might pass. But it's a Worcester staple and will continue to patronize. read more

Foley & Son Fish & Chip - Me and my Caddy! - Seafood Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Nasty. No gloves or mask. No sanitation. Not even using soap And water in between handling raw or cooked food and then money. Just rinsed her hands in buckets of water. Was never so disgusted in my life. Walked out without paying or taking my order. In the age of Covid this was the least sanitary place I have ever been even before the age of Covid. If I could give negative stars I would. read more

So I get to be the first to write about this Worcester institution..........I am really surprised. I remember reading elsewhere that this little hole in the wall serves more fish on the one day that they are open, than most places do in a month. They do serve lots of fish to lots of people, really fast. I guess that the ladies, by working only on Fridays avoid job burnout. (Son is long gone......this is a very old business) The fish is, IMO, waaaay better than average, but others do it better. I think that they are so popular, because they are so cheap, and Worcester is known as a cheap city. Take out only read more

I have lived down the street from this place for 4 years, but today was the first time i have gone there. I was very impressed with the fish and chips I got there. i dont usually like fish, but the haddock was very fresh and flaky, a great cornbread like sweet batter, and very good french fries. I was very impressed with this once a week open fish shop. they have fish and chips, onion rings, shrimp, scallops, and assorted other local seafood. no chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, just fish. but what they lack in variety they more then make up in quality. I highly recommend this place. take out only, cash only. read more

Yet another family-owned restaurant ripped apart by "yelp reviewers". This place has the best fish and chips in the city. If you don't think so, maybe you should just keep it to yourself and go eat somewhere else. But no, instead you'd rather try to ruin their business with your uninformed "review". Unfortunately, however, yelp accounts are like a**holes; everybody has one. read more

The fish and chips are reasonably priced. The fish is coated with heavy batter tho but still good. The rest of their menu is pretty expensive but also very good. The service is bad when it's busy and since they're only open on Fridays it's busy almost all day. read more

Had dinner there the other night for the first time... All three of us picked up the fish and chips.. And all three of us agreed. The fish was mushy, and tasted off. They used some spice that was way overpowering and gross tasting... left this aftertaste in our mouths... not even sure if it was a spice... The french fries were ok. the tarter sauce is nothing but mayonaise... not enough of any other ingriedients. We ended up mixing our own. Ended up feeling like a rock in my stomach. We won't eat there again, ever. read more

If you love grease then this is the place. The smell outside is enough to turn your stomach. Open only on Fridays (thank goodness) and minimal parking - again a blessing to keep people from eating the grease. read more

my first there, recommended by a friend, ordered 1/2 pt clams 1/2 pt scallops and a fish and chip dinner all the food was very good ,but a little overpriced I thought, once a month maybe, but not every Friday.. read more

So all I heard is how amazing this place was so I went ,and was so disappointed ill admit great staff and service. Lacked flavor and texture(French fries only). The fish was thick, moist and fresh but had no seasoning in the batter or on the fish so it was very bland, French fries where frozen and unsalted and soggy. It did not come with tarter sauce or salt and pepper or utensils in the take out bag which they didn't tell me so I threw out the flavorless food and bought a fish of sandwich at McDonald's and it was more enjoyable.... THATS FLIPPIN SAD!! read more

If you want to leave here feeling like you paid to be insulted this is the place to go! I went there for the first time ever tonight and I felt rushed and pressured the second I walked in. I didn't get a chance to read the entire menu before a white haired woman rolled her eyes at me and kept asking what I wanted my boyfriend doesn't eat sea food so I quickly scanned the menu for something other than that and found chicken I asked him a few times if that was what he wanted and then placed my order for a chicken and fish meal. Once I paid and sat down to wait the white haired woman immediately started to make fun of me right in front of my face! Complaining about everything I had done since walking through the door! I felt like saying "hello I can hear you and I'm right here!" But instead I asked my boyfriend to grab the food for me to go outside. I refused to sit there and watch myself get made fun of! I will never return here again and I will tell everyone who will listen about this experience. How do you expect to keep customers when ur making fun of them? I can not express how mad this made me. My advice to anyone looking to go here, save your time and money and go somewhere that will respect you as a customer it will be well worth your money read more

The fish is cooked how fish should be cooked. There isn't an over load of batter on it. The fish is still flaky when you cut into it. I am not a big fan of french fries but their fries are good. The fried clams are good. They work their behinds off on a Friday. They do more work in one day then some people do in a week. read more

Had not been in many years and home for the holidays I stopped by to see if it was like the old days and wow it was better than I even remember. I had a shore dinner that was to die for... loaded with fish, scallops and clams. The best ever!! I especially loved the homemade coleslaw and tartar sauce wish I could take it back home to Florida with me!! Same owner for 44 years unbelievable YOU MUST TRY IT! read more
