Ches's Famous Fish & Chips

An old style diner, has a nice atmosphere, lots of seating, and appeared clean. I ordered a two piece fish & chips, cod tongues and cheeks. The fish tasted fresh and had a fluffy, crispy, light tasting batter without seasoning. The cheeks and tongues were both tasty, the tongues were a bit slimy. In all, it was an average but good meal. The portion size for the meal was good and it was a decent price. They have a nice homemade vinegar. The Iceberg Beer was great, but I didn't get a glass with it. Our server, Tracy, was friendly and attentive. We had an enjoyable, relaxing dinner here.

Solid fish and chips with crispy batter over very fresh cod, unseasoned. Fries were good but not as crunchy as I would like, gravy was delicious. Cod tongue app was just ok. I appreciate the homemade vinegar and seasoning options. Old diner vibe, waitress was friendly enough but could have smiled more. Excellent location and fast service.

Cool place to dine in family, we arrive the whole family of 17 and we kindly ask if they could accommodate us, without blinking the lady opened the private area and staff cleaned the entire table for us to sit, such a proactive employee and nice people, she apologized for only having plastic glasses but we were completely happy and didn’t even pay attention to the glasses, food was served in a reasonable time , good very generous and everyone was happy, they divided the bill in 3 i have never seen that , they divided the entire bill like one fish and schips is like 12 bucks and we got each 4 bucks to pay, that was so smart and so easy to pay attention the counter. We gave a generous tip because they were very effective

Had the opportunity to dine at Ches’s after a bit of a longer day. Our group was warmly greeted by Ariel when we arrived. She was absolutely top-notch as a server. The Seafood platter was definitely top notch and hit the spot. Paired with a pint of Newfoundland‘s iceberg beers, it definitely was a memorable experience. If you are ever in St. John’s, I would definitely recommend giving a spot a try.

Jonna was lovely, provided amazing service for us first timers. We loved the fries and homemade gravy. Fish was decent - a good price! And the snowballs were tasty. Very laid back atmosphere for some comfort food.

I tried their Fish Fritters for the first time and I loved them! The staff was very friendly and they helped me pick the correct meal to meet my needs. I loved their spicy mayo sauce. I recommend this place.

Very kind service and the fish and chips were so good that I hope I always remember Ches's. We had a week in St. John's and ate at Ches's four nights. Could not get enough of that excellent fish.

Rumoured to be the best place in town for fish and chips, but I came for the chips, dressing and gravy! This place is a step back into time. Old style diner type vibes. Plenty of indoor seating and a menu that pretty much revolves around a fryer. My chips, dressing and gravy was legit a comfort food dish I never knew I needed!!! Why is this only happening in Newfoundland?? Definitely worth a visit if you want to try a local favorite.
