Ches's Famous Fish & Chips

Went there for a quick fish and chips takeout. It was my second time having fish and chips in Newfoundland and it was pretty good. The portions were good and the fries were very nice. But the best part was being served by Ariel, she was super sweet and personable and made my time there very pleasant. She needs to get a raise.

Great food. Large portion size and well priced. Shrimp and chips are the best. Must visit when you're on St Johns.

I love their home made vinegar and the chillie seasoning they have. Their fish and chips were great as well. I ordered the snowball combo that had the snowball dessert, and onion rings and ordered the gravy with dressing, also ordered the seafood combo with scallops. It was the first time. I had dressing and it was pretty good but not my favorite thing, great to try if you aren't from Newfoundland nonetheless. The fish was very flakey and battered lightly. Everything was juicy and yummy

I always get the chicken tenders and chips and I would say that these are the best chicken tenders in the city so its definitely worth how pricey it is. They use the fish batter so they have a fluffy and crispy batter and the chicken inside is juicy and tender. This particular order though were very old and overcooked. Extremely disappointed. I eat here a couple times a week and to get no compensation was quite off putting. Overall, a good restaurant to visit.

The service was great. The seafood, the shrimps, the scallops and the fish, were fresh. The Iceberg lager was a little light.

Fish and Chips here were good but not amazing. The fries we had were definitely great, but the fish tasted a bit bland. A bit more seasoning would have been great. The service was nice but a bit pushy for us to order and eat and leave, which makes sense cause it was a busy day. The paying after wasn't solved way as we had to pay in the line of the people who came here for takeout. It would have been nice to just pay at the table.

The batter was golden and crisp, nice, thick pieces of fish. The chips, dressing, and gravy were really good. Dressing was one right. Iceberg beer was cold and easy drinking. I suggest washing down the meal with 2 cold ones. If you're visiting, don't forget to get your official Ches's certification. Ask the waitress she friendly and smily.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND to everyone. (We did take out) This place is absolutely AMAZING!!! The fish was so delicious 😋 both my self and boyfriend LOVED THE FISH 🐟 Portion size was good for the price. My boyfriend also got scallops, he really enjoyed them aswell. The service was friendly, fast and honest. Lol i asked about the size of the oreo cheese cake and i got an honest answer. Which was amazing. We both really liked how it was packaged 📦 instead of being out in a box to get all soggy by the time you get home they put it on a take out plate and wrap it with brown parchment paper which in our experience made it much better. I do have to say it was a little more greasy then i expected *my boyfriend didnt think it was that greasy.* (i was going off other reviews that said its not as greasy as you would expect*) still DELICIOUS!!! I rated the atmosphere three out of five because we did take out, but from what i seen in the short little time i spent in the restaurant i would definitely go there to eat in.
