A great Scottish Pub in Chicago. Had the Fish & Chips (of course) with a side of Stovies. The fish…read more& chips comes with green peas and chips. We were there on Friday, so the fish and chips were all-you-can-eat. So crispy on the outside and flakey on the inside. So yummy. The chips were crispy and paired perfectly with the fish splashed with the malt vinegar. The green peas were good, but my favorite was the Stovies. If you've never had proper Stovies, this is your chance to try them. Potatoes and onions with bits of roast kind of like mashed potatoes or a very thick stew. So yummy. They also have an extensive drink menu.

Whiskey fans, you'll love the huge selection along with the impressive beer selection. Yelp should really hype this as a whiskey bar, too. It more than qualifies. The cuisine is phenomenal. Definitely a place to bring a large party on your first visit, so you can sample a multitude of wonderful creations. Pro Tip: if you can tolerate a large quantity of fish, visit on a Wednesday for their AYCE Fish & Chips. I've had many hum drum AYCE dinners that are drab and only fill you up. Not this one. It's a great meal and a great deal. The Shepherd's Pie was fabulous, as was the Bangers and Mash. They've created a Haggis Burger that has to appease Americans, yet, still be haggis. A tall order since most would hate "true" haggis. Fear not, it's not your grandfather's haggis, it is a tasty burger. The fries were great but I'd recommend the Tattie Skins. We tasted so many different malts it was hard to pick a favourite. No foolin' they had island malts, highland malts, speyside and even a couple from the lowlands. Easy to spend over two hours in this public house. We did. Can't wait to get back to this town. This is a must! 02/26

I heard about the St Ferdinand Fish Fry via a local news outlet and had to give it a try. I don't…read moreeat seafood myself, but I had been trying to figure out how I could get some fish into my little one since you're supposed to feed them common allergens to help ward them off. What cinched the deal is that they offer a drive-up option--which they have been doing since long before the pandemic--so that made it especially easy and I didn't have to sit in a room full of fishy smells. The ordering process is that you call starting at 4 pm and place your order, then when you arrive at the church there's "drive-through" parking in the back at which you wait while someone brings your order. Since they've had practice it's pretty efficient. It's a very popular event (the parking lots for those eating at the church were full) but it was well-priced and the food was good, based upon my SO and kid's reaction. Worth a visit and a return.

Nothing ever sits around whether you're craving shrimp, catfish, or any of their delicious sides, you're getting the best quality. That unbeatable freshness truly sets them apart from anywhere else! If you're ordering ahead, just make sure to be honest about your arrival time. They start cooking based on when you say you'll be there, so if you say five minutes but take ten, your food might not be at its peak. They're so passionate about quality that they want every meal even the fries to be piping hot and ready the moment you walk in. Their dedication to serving the freshest food is a huge reason I keep coming back for more. Trust me, you're going to love it!

My cousin and I split the fish and chips, and it did not disappoint. The fish was perfectly cooked with a light, crispy batter, and the fries paired well with it. We finished with the sticky toffee date pudding for dessert, which was rich, warm, and absolutely delicious. I also ordered a cocktail--unfortunately I can't remember which one it was--but it was refreshing and complemented the meal nicely. The service was attentive, friendly, and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this is a wonderful place if you're looking for classic British fare in a beautiful setting.

Service at the bar was friendly and my food came out surprisingly fast. My fries weren't warm, but I but didn't bother sending them back.

Hotel restaurants are rarely good. I would've passed. Not a bad meal by any means though. I live in the immediate area, but probably won't revisit. 2.85 stars mostly for the good service.

When you walk inside it's pretty small but it's set up to let you see what's available. I was immediately greeted and my order was taken. Staff was friendly and polite. The fish and chips came out hot and took about 10mins. I like that they leave the end flaps open to avoid the crispy fish from steaming in the box. Though I wish maybe they leaned it against the fries or something because the bottom was pretty soggy from being flat against the bottom. The flavor was good and the fries were crispy and seasoned. Over all it's a good meal and worth a visit if in the area.

Just sorry I didn't get a photo as I ate too quickly. One piece of advice - it would be nice if the restaurant had an updated website with a menu or frequency updated social media presence. It helps these days.
