British-style seafood restaurant with fried dishes, fries & sauces
"You might think there are a lot of good seafood options at the Wharf, but gone are the days of Captain White’s and Phillips. And while none of the seafood here can touch what was happening in the olden days, we’ll swing by Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips for a relatively cheap, grab-and-go box of fried shrimp and chips. It’s a great place to wrangle hungry kids who are fed up with taking family pictures in front of the water. Grab a seat at one of the tables or take your Union Jack-covered boxes of fried seafood to the outdoor courtyard right across the street." - tristiana hinton, madeline weinfield, liz tracy
"Boisterous British chef Gordon Ramsay pulled up to the Wharf in late 2022 with a takeout-friendly menu centered around its namesake dish and other takes on British pub grub. A three-piece combo of sustainable cod coated with custard powder batter, chips, and two sauces runs around $19.99. Shrimp and chicken get the crispy treatment, too. Chips also shine solo, loaded up with meats and sauces." - Tierney Plumb
"The Times Square outpost of Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips opened to mixed impressions; critic Robert Sietsema described a first visit as a 'kitchen nightmare,' suggesting a troubled debut." - Emma Orlow
"In Times Square I found a modest, barely adorned basement shop at 1500 Broadway (entrance around the corner on 44th next to an Irish pub) with large graphic UK motifs, a blue-uniformed counter crew, and a system that relies on many items being par-fried and finished to order. The heart of the menu is the fish and chips ($17.99): three same-size cod logs in a glistening beer batter that look appealing but are, to my taste, remarkably bland, served with browned, skin-on fries that look good but taste mealy. You are aggressively upsold $3 dirty fries options (Dirty #1, with jalapeños and crumbled chorizo, would be $7.99 on its own and makes a better meal than the plain fish and chips). The shrimp and chips ($16.99) swaps in five plump beer-battered shrimp that are more interesting, while the chicken sandwich ($15.99) is odd and blandly executed — two breast cutlets in pitas with mayo-heavy coleslaw and tomatoes but no pickle, and mayo appears on the cutlets and the side. Each order comes with two condiments, most of which are variations on mayonnaise. For dessert the Biscoff shake ($8.99) — a dense, burnt-caramel–flavored shake made from the Belgian cookie paste — is pretty good (the sticky-toffee shake was unavailable). Overall, the place feels built to parlay Ramsay's media fame into a tourist-friendly, low-effort fast-food model rather than the more ambitious cooking he often champions on television." - Robert Sietsema
"At 1500 Broadway near Seventh Avenue in Times Square, this Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips marks the chain's fourth U.S. location; I noted the Washington Post gave it a tepid thumbs-up for its well-battered fish and so-called “airport” fries. The menu also expands beyond seafood to include fried chicken, shakes mixed with sticky toffee, loaded french fries, and sandwiches wrapped in naan, an unexpectedly eclectic offering." - Luke Fortney
