    Haddock plate
    Kat V.

    New to the area and have been waiting for this place to open...I was so excited to see the "Open" flags flying the other day! Magoo's is the third place I've tried (for fish & chips) since moving here from Maine, and it is my favorite by leaps and bounds!! Four beautiful, flaky pieces of battered haddock with tangy slaw and fries cooked just right. The owner/chef was extremely cheerful and seemed to really loved doing what he does...don't pass Magoo's by!

    Terrific roadside takeout. It's been there forever but we just tried it for tge first time and wow, you can't ask for better local fried seafood. Hubby and I shared the fisherman's platter ($36) and took home half for another day! And yes, it reheats well in an air fryer.

    I'm a sucker for small off the road or off the wall or out of the norm eateries. When I saw Magoo's I knew I had to try it out. I opted for the gyro, Isabella opted for a hot dog with nothing on it. Both were excellent! The exterior is remarkable for its authenticity. The interior decor follows to perfection. This is 100% old school from the fries to the onion rings to the Frappes to the Banana Boats ($4.25!!!) All cones come with jimmies or nuts. If you can figure out the type of music playing please let me know. Canadian bluegrass?

    Ok, I can say that I am as much of an expert when it comes to fried clams as anyone on the planet. Admittedly, I am quite particular. I like the batter more on the lighter side, so to truly maximize the flavor of the clams. I also like the clams with big fat bellies that explode in your mouth as you bite into them. That is exactly what you get at Magoo's! Crazy too because it's in the center part of the state, far from the ocean, yet these clams are much better than many of the touristy places you'll frequent on the coast of NH and Maine. Sure the place is an absolute dive; everything about Magoo's (expect for the food) is old, tired and outdated, but there is something kind of cool about that too! Trust me when I say that if you are a true lover of fried clams, you will walk away very happy after having a plate at Magoo's! Bon Appetite.

    Enough for two small appetites to share!

    The guy who owns the place is the cook. He's gross. I would let him open a soda for me let alone cook my food. Hes also rude. Avoid.

    I was in Manchester for a dance competition with my daughter and granddaughter this weekend and…read moredecided on takeout for dinner. I really wanted fish but being from the Boston area I hesitate to order when I'm away especially if I'm not right on the ocean. Anyhow I decided to give this place a try. I ordered the haddock sandwich and the mussels appetizer to go back to the hotel. I can't think of one thing that didn't impress me. First the sandwich, HUGE, fresh, nicely fried piece of haddock packaged beautifully on a bed of lettuce with a nice wedge of lemon; brioche bun lightly toasted and buttered bagged separately; tarter sauce and coleslaw (loved the coleslaw!) on the side. This came with a side ( I chose sweet potato fries). The mussels appetizer, delicious, fresh and enough for a meal for my daughter and I! The broth was so good we could drink it out of the bowl,but we were lucky enough to have a nice bag of toasted bread served with them to sop it up with. All this for under $40! I also have to mention the waitstaff was super attentive and helpful even though it was Friday night and there was a lot going on. That kind of professionalism did not go unnoticed. I am looking forward to experiencing the full dining experience and will definitely be back!

    Okay so I came here on a graduation night with no reservation on a hope and a prayer... I'm…read moreassuming the owner was the lady who came to tell me it was reservation only and there was nothing they could do. I was heart broken but it was my own undoing as I djdnt make a reservation. Just as I was opening yelp to find another place to try she came and got me from outside as a spot opened up! That's service! And I won't forget it. All the staff was very kind and she checked in with me several times during my meal to make sure it was going well. The ambiance is a little noisy but it's a raw bar that has sports on. The food is delicious. I could have eaten the Cippino forever! The broth was a complex delicious and perfectly spiced tomato base. The seafood was plentiful and large sized. I have never seen shrimp so big! I also ate oysters and had an amazing home made peaches and cream cheese cake. Listen I don't really like cheese cake but I could eat that cake everyday for the rest of my life. Everything from start to finish once I sat down. Was delicious and the staff was very kind. This food was fired fresh in the kitchen. I could see if from my bar seat. So if it took a little bit it was worth it! I'd eat here the next time I'm in Manchester 10/10

    I purchased a Clam Plate, Scallop Plate and Side Order of Fries yesterday. All was excellent! I…read moredidn't expect the food offering to be so good. And the prices are exceptional. Their space is extremely clean and appealing. Glad they set up shop in Derry, NH. I live in Londonderry, NH so it is next door. We want them to be successful to stay and serve. Beautiful large scallops to boot. I intend to return routinely and have advised my son and daughter's families to go there.

    I won't lie, I was not thinking I'd like Fish and Chix as much as I did. But I'm happy to be wrong!…read moreI was up visiting some friends and we were trying to find a take out dinner spot. They had been here before and wanted to try the smash burgers. I'm a fan of seafood so I ordered the scallop plate. At only $18 I wasn't expecting much. We placed the order and made our way to the restaurant where it was already all set for us! The cashier who checked us out was friendly and the building itself was nicely decorated and spacious. It was busy for a Friday night but not jam packed. When we got home I noticed that they forgot my tartar sauce- a bummer. But the food itself more than made up for the momentary disappointment. The portion size was huge for the price! There must have been atleast 16 scallops in there. Even though we ordered take out the food was still nice and crispy. The batter was excellent and the fries had a great crunchy coating. I would highly recommend Fish and Chix to anyone in the area. It may seem unassuming but the food quality and portion size is amazing! I'm happy we stopped by and will ask to go again.

    This is ridiculous.  I ordered chicken tenders and this is what I received.  The chicken was hard and dry.
