Scottie's

What an absolute amazing restaurant… I drove up from Sydney with my boyfriend just because and took him to Scottie’s… I thought it would be nice but it wasn’t nice it was fricken amazing from the moment we arrived the staff, atmosphere and overall vibe was great. Then the food oh my gosh that was next level. Thank you so much we had an amazing lunch and enjoyed every thing Scottie’s had to offer.

While take away is available, treat yourself with dining in. Dishes are great for sharing and are fresh and delicious. Fantastic wine list. Staff charming and helpful. Handy to the tram and the beach.

Had the Lobster Club Sandwich & a Peroni beer on Anzac Day at 5pm. Ordered through the hole in the wall & sat at an outside table. It was reasonably busy & a fun vibe. The food definitely wasn't quick but I got handed the beer instantly, and it was a nice place to sit & drink a cold beer & wait. It wasn't cheap... but here's the thing... it was GREAT. It was delicious & a very generous size & a great experience & the staff were great! Will be back soon to try something else.

STUNNING!!!! Beautiful setting on a summer’s afternoon for dinner. The staff are an absolute delight, I want to be friends with all of them! Do not go past the lobster rolls 🤤 best!!! Bummed we were too full from dinner to try the key lime pie but we’ll back for it 🍋‍🟩🫵🏼

Perfect little restaurant in a gorgeous location. This restaurant has everything- atmosphere, exceptional service (Victor was exceptional) and creative food combinations that satisfy everyone - think crispy and salty potato scallops topped with creamy crème fraiche and caviar, blue swimmer crab dumplings in a saffron broth. We will be back!

Good food and excellent service, however it does seem to be overpriced. Also didn’t like the presentation of the salad, it was hard to eat as the leaves weren’t cut (flavour was good though).

My family and I recently ate at Scotties for my graduation lunch :) and we really appreciated how accommodating they were to our halal dietary needs. The waitress went above and beyond, checking with the kitchen multiple times to make sure everything met our requirements—it was definitely extra work, and we really appreciated her patience and effort! The food was absolutely fabulous. We skipped the battered fish since the batter contained beer, but the grilled fish was delicious, and the prawn pancakes were a highlight. Thank you again for the great service and food!

We are obsessed with Scottie’s! Over a long weekend stay at Newy, we went to Scottie’s three times. I highly recommend the Yuzu Margarita cocktail - the umami chilli salt rim is the perfect garnish for this tangy drink. Overall a really friendly atmosphere with genuine hospitality. Thank you Sarah and the team for welcoming these enthusiastic out-of-towner’s!

Great location, lovely atmosphere but the food is a touch overpriced and a little tired compared to how it used to be. I don't mind some hot chips and a beer on the grass though

To date...this is my favorite restaurant in Newcastle! It is one block from the beach and the seafood is incredible! We had fresh oysters, a cabbage salad and the most amazing fish and chips! I highly recommend.

Something's fishy (and chippy) here, and I dare say I like it. If you're in need of a gourmet burger and a thick shake or a takeaway fish finger sandwich to eat on the beach, this humble restaurant (complete with a super cute shaded patio) is your spot. A hearty menu of gourmet pub grub and American diner favourites, Scottie's is somewhat of a Newcastle institution - if perhaps in the I'm-too-poor-to-eat-here-regularly-but-I'll-definitely-bring-my-parents-when-they-visit sort of way. The food is beautifully presented on large wooden boards and the service couldn't be sweeter.

Everyone knows Scottie's is THE spot to acquire your beachside fish and chips (and a mean burger) in Newcastle so there's not much more I can tell you that other Yelpers haven't already. But did you know they do a splendiferous beetroot scallop? Forget what you knew of old school potato scallops and give your tastebuds an upgrade. Be warned, these caramely-warm-slightly sweet roasted beets in a light batter are addictive, but when you're this close to the beaches of Newcastle and gorgeous surrounds, who cares if you end up at Scottie's everyday?

Seafood was nice however the chips and wraps don't come with chips and for what you get this is WAY overpriced.

Deceptively up market, a little out of the way, Scotties is a hidden gem to the uninitiated but an institution to the Newcastle locals. I enjoyed a lunch here after a particularly rigorous (if not overly skillful) beach volleyball game. The outdoor area is a beautiful place to sit on a sunny afternoon. A nice mix of fish & chip shop fare, burgers and some of the healthier Australian options (the salmon and avocado bruschetta is quite good) is complimented by good coffee and great shakes. It is a little pricey for what you get and the staff can be a little unsure at times, but the food is good and the fish and chips rule all.

The barra and flathead were as good as you'd get in an upmarket pub, similarly priced and we were able to walk down the road and eat them by the sea. The house-made tartare sauce is worth half a star on its own. There should be a chips and salad option rather than having to choose between the two (maybe there is - we got one of each so didn't need to ask).

Extremely nice service, and they were kind enough to let us use powerpoints to charge our phones when needed. I found the prices were a little on the high side, but the food was definitely fresh. Only complaint was that everything happened so slow, particularly when it came to getting coffees out.

Great service and ambience. However the fish and chips were not as good as we hoped or worth $14.

take away fish and chips was pleasant enough but $22 is a bit rich for no table servide and outside tables. apparently you can sit inside in the evening.

Very expensive for what you get, owner very rude, I would suggest that in Newcastle East you could do a lot better

Scotties is an institution. Only place to get your fish and chip hit over summer. They are also licensed and have some really good live music nights every now and then.

The food is great and the location is excellent, but the service is slow and sloppy. Don't dare to ask if your food is very far away: you'll be given a fair bit of indignation by the staff and some snide comments when your food finally does arrive.
