I hate to rate low for a small business fish n chips shop, but I can't say that Lakes Seafood is anymore deserving than these two stars.
Points for the convenience if you're shopping around the forest lake shopping centre. Points for having Vanilla Coke. Points for the $11 burger, chip, and soft drink special. That's really all I can think of.
The cashiers are far from friendly, I understand the frustration when it comes to the language barriers as they all have very very thick accents, mix that in with an Aussie or American customer like me, and it's almost impossible to not huff and puff a little bit when placing your order.
The last few times I've ordered a hamburger here it's been very disappointing. It's almost as if the meat patty they use is a mystery meat. The burgers have been very soggy, and this is even with dine in orders so I can't blame a long car ride for this one.
The chips (as shown in my photo) are very bland, even though I always ask for chicken salt. Don't get me started on the amount served.
When I've come here with others, no one ever raves about it. It's not the place you want to take a tourist to show them a true blue Aussie fish n chip shop.
If you're in the area and really want this type of meal, about a mile or so down the road is Flatheads, and you won't be so disappointed. read more
