Literally the best fish sandwich I've ever had in my life. And it's consistently the best, not to mention the biggest. Just YUM! read more

This is a great local fast fish house no frills, great service and plentiful helpings. A stop off coming back on US1 from St Augustine. read more

It's a nice venue with outdoor seating. It doesn't look brand new, but it doesn't look well maintained and very clean. The person taking the order said that they were famous for their fish sandwich and that it was made of Pollock. I decided to give it a try. It was twice as big as what I'd get in Miami and about 4 times the fish I'd get in NYC. And was delicious. The fish was perfectly fried. None of the pieces were overdone or soggy. Even the bread was delicious, and I'm not even a bread person. About 5 state troopers pulled up after me and they were raving about how delicious the food is here. I'd definitely come back. read more

The Bantam Chef - I'll be back.. - Seafood Near Me - Bunnell, Florida

I have probably ridden past this place a couple of dozen times in my travels back and forth to the coast, and never even knew it was there. That is, until a classic BMW rider I talked to on the beach mentioned it. So I figured, what the heck, give it a shot! All of the seating is outdoors, so you are going to be subject to whatever weather is occurring, though the seating is under cover, with two large areas. I sat in the second area that isn't right next to the ordering window, and apparently is not used as heavily. Service was pretty standard. Order at the window, get a ticket number, then wait for it to be called and go pick up your order. No hassles. While it was suggested to me originally that I try the fish as it was the best in the area, I really wasn't feeling up to a fish sandwich, so I went for a burger instead. I have been to a lot of different burger places around North Florida, and this fits right in with the standard burger stand style burger. Price was also right in there with the rest of the places I have been to. The fish that I was seeing come out did look pretty good, so perhaps next time (and there should be a next time) I will try that out instead of the burger. It is nice to know that there is a place like this along the way that I can count on for having this kind of food. read more

Great fish sandwich and fries. Not greasy. Make the trip to Bunnell and give it a try.

Bunnell, Florida is a smaller community that sits somewhere between Daytona Beach and St. Augustine (pretty much halfway between the two better known cities). Bunnell certainly has grown, but it still holds its smaller community feel to it. If you are passing through, make sure you stop by the Bantam Chef and grab their famous fish sandwich, you won't regret it (of course, unless you are allergic to seafood). I would definitely recommend checking Bunnell out. read more

Delicious fish sandwich , fresh ingredients. Large portion perfect for 2 . Friendly staff read more

We are new to this area. When we moved here, we were leaving behind a lot of great options regarding take out food that represented the best in cultural cuisine with lots of varíety . Initially, we struggled to find a good place that covered if not all, most of our culinary expectations, including quality, price, taste and customer service. The Bantam Chef, rang the bell in each of those departments. I learnt that they have been in business for over 40 years( no surprise there) . They have a winner here. The one negative criticism I would mention, is that the exterior buildings could use a good pressure wash and a fresh coat of paint. Not much to ask for an otherwise great business venture. read more

Finally got to stop in. There were a few people ahead of me but they were so fast. I got the fish sandwich it was delicious. Next time I'll ask for extra onions and pickles. read more

I'm not gatekeeping this one any longer. Tucked Bunnell about 12 minutes off of I95 is an institution that has fed locals for over 30 years. I discovered it while just browsing every restaurant on Google maps cruising virtually down I95. Upon reading reviews and seeing several guest photos, I saw that their fish sandwich was their biggest seller. A stand alone structure with ample parking and plenty of outdoor seating. There was a line when I arrived around 3pm on a Wednesday. I had to try their epic fish sandwich. Stacked about six inches high, their fried white fish sandwich is absolutely out of this world. At the time of eating, the sandwich was going for about $10, an absolutely steal. If you're ever in the area... shoot even if you're within an hours drive... make the time to eat here! Please! It'll change you. It's not just a delicious fish sandwich; it is a throw back nostalgic experience. A true Florida hidden gem. read more

For those of us who have lived here for years this is famous comfort food They used to be $4.25 back in the day, but they are double + that and still worth it! Yes, it's a hole in the wall but if you love good fried fish sandwich your tastebuds will rejoice! I prefer my fish ALTW (all the way). Lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and their delicious tartar! Sometimes I go plain with tartar on the side if you got a decent drive home, but we love eating it hot! Also, try the broccoli bites! Sooo good!!! read more

The fish dinner is getting a little thin, they are thinning out the fish... OR their buying skinny fish..

We love this place! $15 fish sandwich with fries and coleslaw. Enough food for my husband and I to share. We drive from Ormond just to get the fish sandwich. Staff is always friendly. Get here early as it gets really busy, but so worth it if you have to wait. Outside dining only, under the huge awning. read more

My husband and I have heard so many reviews on the Famous Fish Sandwich at The Bantam Chef we had to try it out. We went tonight and as we were heading there it started to rain, I told my husband no worries they have covered outdoor seating. When we got there a few people in line but were served very quickly. I ordered our sandwiches 3 Famous Fish with 1 without lettuce (mine). The lady behind counter was nice and gave me a ticket with our number on it, our order number. My husband waited for our sandwiches as I got us a seat. They do only have picnic tables which comes with their cute little kitty ‍. The surroundings could be a little questionable especially at night but their sandwiches are the bomb!!! Or the fried fish is, the sandwich is so big I can't open my mouth wide enough to take a bite so I just took pieces of fish off the sandwich. I ended up taking home a sandwich which I will eat for the next 2 days!! Yes we will definitely go back again!!! read more

It's been 13 minutes since I've had this sandwich and can confirm it is still terrific. 3 fish all the way with slaw and fries was out in about 10 minutes. Sandwich could use some extra tartar if you go, so order extra. Would go again. read more

Great food here a must go to in the area. If you haven't been you should go and try it out

Consistently delicious and huge portions of fish. I've been eating here whenever I'm in town for the past decade and it is always the same. Reliable. Amazing. Delicious. Best fish sandwich in the US. Fast service. Everyone is nice and the clientele is cool to chat with during your short wait for your food. Took my husband here as a "must go to place" during his first (and only two day) trip to Florida. This was a priority must for this short trip and it didn't disappoint, of course. Thanks and we'll be back soon. read more

Great food. I had the famous fish sandwich platter with onion rings instead of fries. The Cole slaw was delicious. The service was great, especially since we slammed them with our group of 12. read more

My wife LOVES the fish sandwich here and the fried clam strips. She will drive two hours to eat here. We've been real happy with the food and service every time we've come through here! read more

We stopped at Bantam Chef for lunch after hearing about their amazing fish sandwich. And it is truly amazing. I have never seen so much fried fish between two pieces of bread. But I cant hand out more than 3 stars. First I order fries with my sandwich but got onions, second the sandwich was very dry and needed a second helping of tartar sauce (which you have to pay for). And third, my medium ice tea was warm with very little ice. I will say that the portions are huge and reasonably priced but we probably will not be back read more

The food and service is awesome! The fish sandwiches, fries, and chicken wings are my favorite!

The fish sandwich is huge!!!!! Great onion rings are quick service. Great price. Outside seating only.

I've tried this a handful of times and the burger is always a bit dry, as is the cheap bun. It takes about 20 minutes to get your food, too.

The fish sandwich is so big you could make three decent sandwiches from it .Great tasting. Can't wait to try different things from the menu it has a good selection. Just out door picnic tables it has a roadside drive in vibe . read more

I herd about this business from a coworker. So, today I decided to take my mom on a lunch date. The fish sandwich (you get enough fish for 3 sandwiches) was DELICIOUS. The fish with the light well seasoned cooked perfectly did not taste greasy at all. The bread was very soft and toasted. I got it all the way with lettuce, tomato pickle and tartar sauce. The french fries also delicious cooked well and the broccoli tots tasted great. They taste like broccoli, cheddar, soup, but fried you can clearly see the cheese pull on the picture. I paid $32 42 fish sandwiches or order of french fries onion rings, and broccoli tots. It was very good. The service was great. The workers were kind. I waited maybe five minutes to get my food. I would definitely come back. read more

Love the fish sandwich. Always more then I can eat in one serving but I love to share with my husband. So we split one.

"The food and service is awesome!" is very true!!! Went yesterday evening, after learning about here from some new friends. It was just great!!! The staff are wonderful and the food really is awesome! Went for a burger, onion rings and cole slaw, and it was all so worth the drive and so delicious. We moved to Palm Coast early last year and are still learning our way around and Bunnell has a lot to offer. Even the clientele were ever so nice. Just so taken with this great little spot. Can't wait to go back with my wife for her to try the famous fish sandwich... she loved the onion rings and the cole slaw, too. This is another special place we are so glad to have found. read more

The Bantam chef is the best fish sandwich you will ever get!! It's just a tiny place you go up and order your food and you either take it to go or you can set out on the picnic benches. It's about an hour from my house in Deland, Florida and it's well worth the trip and it's a pretty drive, so nothing really spectacular except the food and why do we go out to eat for the food? Try it if you're ever out that way read more

food was excellent as usual, but when i checked my bank account, i noticed that i was charged double the amount said, i got my receipt out and it was a tip. i give cash when tipping. i remember when my card was in the machine i asked" is it ok?" the the person said "o"and reached out the window and pushed a button. didn't think nothing of it, we have been going there for many years. i'm not going to use my time to go over there ( i'm in Hastings) just lesson learned, so a $34 meal cost us $78 i did leave a cash tip too. Be careful! read more
