The Pub Chip Shop

Lovely British themed restaurant in the southside. The young gentleman at the cash register was very friendly. We got the tikka pie and fish and chips. Both were tasty. I will be back!

Chicken breakfast biscuit was a little disappointing. I’m sure even a junior chef could find something to add to this for a bit more… ooomph. Nice chicken. Will try again and order something else. Fair price.

Outstanding all around! Clean establishment, decorated nicely with potted plants, friendly, helpful staff, amazing fish "bap" (sandwich) that was made fresh to order, on a tasty, soft bun, with 2 generous portions of crispy, hot, fresh, beer-battered, fried fish, with tarter sauce on the side. Can't wait to get another! Highly recommended! I was so excited that I forgot to take a picture of the sandwich!

I'm so happy I discovered this gem of a restaurant! I only ordered takeout and I'm looking forward to visiting the place in person. Everything I've ordered so far is perfect! I could live on their fish and chips, absolutely delicious, the best in town without a question. I have nothing negative or critical to say; if I could give them 10 stars, I would!

Delicious food. Thai chicken boxty tots are my go to over here. We have only gotten here early enough to have the donuts once and they were excellent. They just have a couple of seats so it’s basically a take out counter.

So SO good! We usually do delivery and its always hot and consistently delicious - not an easy task. The Brisket and Cheese Boxty gives me faith in humanity. Their Fish and Chips make me want to be a better person. I transcend to a higher plane of existence with every Meat Pie. I just... love good food so much and this is always GOOD food done right.

Came in from out of town to try something different and this place was great. Good atmosphere, awesome employees. S/O to Carson on the front he was awesome and the lady with the gauges she was super nice and accommodating as well. Tried the bacon breakfast boxty with a spicy white sauce/gravy and an original glazed and seriously got my morning started. Definitely an awesome start for your day.

Bringing a group of hungry dancers to eat at the end of the business day - we had some of the best hospitality. Entirely worth the wait as they make your orders fresh. We took our food to go, but you can eat inside or the pub next door serves the same menu but expanded with drinks too. At someone who ate their last chicken tender at around 4:30 in the morning I can tell you that they also taste delicious cold (although they were so delicious I don't think they want to last that long)

Searched Yelp for fried shrimp and was pleased with our meal. Stopped in late afternoon for late lunch/early dinner. The beer battered shrimp were perfect! Love that they let you choose a sauce (I went with honey mustard for the fries.) Service was friendly and quick. Seems to have a lot of take out, but there are spaces to dine in. The donuts also looked amazing, but we filled up on our meals, which were served in trays in brown paper bags - they draw a friendly smiley face on them.

It's Piper's Pub in takeout form. Aka it's fucking amazing Any of the boxes of boxty tot boxes you get you won't be disappointed in. Pick one and then you'll go back for another The fish and chips are the best you'll ever have and you can get it in a taco form. How can't you love that Everyone when working is always super helpful and funny whenever you're in there It's a little hole in the wall as compared to the main shop but if you just wanna grab pub food with a twist that's meant to be eaten on the go you go here

It was good and off the beaten path! The fish and chicken were both good. The tartar sauce and ranch sauces I got were amazing. The chips (fries) were deliciously paired with the malt vinegar. Our kids liked the Mac and cheese.

Every meal from here is consistently outstanding! The fish is always fried fresh to perfection, delivering incredible taste every time. With so many delicious options, you really can't go wrong-everything is served hot, in generous portions, and packed with flavor. Their breakfast selections are just as satisfying. Don't skip on the donuts, they are a yummy treat any time of day! The service is warm and welcoming, and takeout runs smoothly. Plus, if you didn't know...this is a Leona's ice cream sandwich spot ;)

My first time trying some authentic British fish and chips. This place definitely far exceeded my expectations! Really good food, super reasonable prices, reasonably diverse menu (many different British classics), and they even have a donut place right nearby. I got to try their fish and chips with ranch as well as a ton of donuts from the shop (which I will review separately). The fish was perfect. Great portion and surprisingly not too greasy at all. Crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside. Seasoned very well so it doesn't just taste like oil. Coating is perfect too. The chips were also great. Salted just the right amount, a fantastic portion, and great texture. The ranch was delicious as well, perfectly creamy and a fantastic dip for the fries. Really can't complain about much of anything, besides maybe the lack of utensils for takeout. All in all, a great spot that I would definitely recommend. The food tastes fresh and delicious, portions are great, and so are the prices.

A couple of friends and I stopped by yesterday afternoon around 4pm. It's a hole in the wall place with one table with three chairs and window seating that also has three chairs so definitely not the type you normally eat in. We saw them do a bunch of takeout orders. Our food was very reasonable priced and exactly what we expected. My fish and chips was delightfully hot and crunchy. My friends also enjoyed their food. We asked for four glazed donuts to go. The staff was joking around with us and gave us eight donuts and didn't charge us for them which was very kind of them. I would definitely come back for takeout!

I really enjoyed The Pub Chip Shop's fish and chip basket. Ordered at the counter on a Friday during lunch and 10mins later the food was ready. The haddock was a nice choice in fish and held up to the crispy batter. The basket was more than enough to share with my husband. Got two green sprinkled donuts before they sold out. Everything was delicious!

I stopped here for a late lunch/early dinner and ordered the chicken and chips and a Scotch Egg. Had I realized the serving size for the chicken in particular, I would not have ordered the Scotch Egg. You could easily split an order with a friend. I don't know that I would recommend it for re-heating. The chicken that I ate right away was super delicious, but once I let it cool down, it was just okay. The Scotch Egg was fine, but it came whole, rather than cut up, so it was a pile of egg, sausage, and fried covering when I cut into it, so be prepared for the mess. The place itself is set up for takeout service (though there are technically 4 seats at the window), so keep that in mind when you order. As such, there isn't really an atmosphere to it.

Some coworkers and I ordered a large lunch order from The Pub Chip Shop recently. We placed the order online and then went to pick it up. Not only was everything in our order correct, the employees were so nice when we were picking up. We tipped and thanked them numerous times for accommodating such a large order. I ordered the chicken fingers and fries. It came with a sauce on the side, so I decided to try their house ranch. I also tried a piece of scotch egg (my first time trying one) and it was great too. Everyone really enjoyed the food. The space itself is small but functional. They also sell delicious doughnuts here too, so definitely check them out!

Quick, food was great for the price point, friendly service, comfortable ambiance. I got the chicken pot pie and mac n cheese side to go online and it was ready to go in 15 minutes. I will definitely be ordering a pot pie again. Excellent pick!

Delicious donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and fish and chips. I've never gotten something from here what I didn't like. The donuts sell very quickly so you may want to call in advance to make sure they still have some, especially on the weekends.

I ordered the fish and chips. My fish was awesome. It was freshly cooked and done just right. 2 really big pieces. The fries weren't anything to write home about but they were fine. I was there for the fish and was not disappointed. As seems to be a trend lately, my wife ordered loaded tater tots, and she was less than thrilled. I'm not sure why. It's a very small place - 1 or 2 tables and a small counter. It's really made to take the food to go. There was a constant stream of people coming and going. It's a popular spot - call in ahead for your order.

One of our new favorite places to eat! I've seen pictures and other reviews but finally decided to go and I'm glad we did. The workers were friendly and helpful. Food was made fresh, came out hot. Best donuts I've had. Can't wait to try more items off the menu and breakfast

Everything in Pub Chip Shop is fantastic! The service is always friendly, the food is always piping hot and delicious. It's almost always our go to for a lunch date.

I don't want to long wind this one, so I won't. Just go. You will not regret it. The chips are crispy outside, creamy inside. The fish, was amazing, I didn't even use the tater sauce. The tots had brisket and this amazing cheese sauce, GET THE TOTS!!! I enjoyed the scotch egg, thanks Andrew Zimmern. Now, they sell donuts. They were sold out. I shall go back for breakfast, yes they have breakfast, and I will get a donut. I want to compare to federal donuts. The staff and I made jokes about it. They are wonderful people!!!

One of the best fish and chips I've had! Fish and Chips - great portion size for price - fish breading was crispy and did not fall apart! - love the thicker cut fries - would come back to get the fish and chips Chicken Tikka Pot Pie - takes 15 min to heat up - pie crust is tasty - flavor inside was good too - I may try another flavor next time tho

It's been forever since I stopped in. We were in the Southside and decided to stop by for a donut. Unfortunately we should have planned to go earlier as they didn't have many options when we went. I would have loved to try something new but they had a few basic and then the peanut butter bomb, which I have had before. This is definitely more dessert material then breakfast. Super sweet and over the top. Maybe too sweet for me. On a previous visit I had a pumpkin one which was pretty incredible. They have a table right inside the door with a menu posted. The downside is you don't get the appeal of being able to see the donuts in the case. You order and they bring it up front for you to pay.

Food is amazing, staff is friendly and helpful. Love the selection! Will be going back soon!

On a little road trip we just decided to look for a little snack and found this little gem. The owner was in on a Sunday, and absolutely wonderful. We had Scotch Eggs and Fish and chips. The batter on the fish was easily the best I've had in years, thin, flavorful, and wonderfully crispy. The fries were crisp and served with malt vinegar. A wonderful experience.

What an incredible experience! We were promptly greeted. The food was beyond delicious perfect fish. The gravy was exactly what I wanted. Comfort food! It was a quaint pub. Fish and Chips Meat Pies

DONUT REVIEW ONLY! We have only had the donuts so far but they were amazingly good. The dude selling said donuts was super helpful and nice. We got these Polish donuts that I still cannot say or spell but the filing was very good. Not too sweet and wonderfully tasty. Also scored your standard glazed donut and cinnamon roles. Both excellent. Can't wait to go back and try some lunch/dinner items.

Made a quick stop in here to get some donuts from the in-house Just Good Donuts bakery and decided to grab a breakfast sammy while I was at it and I am glad I did!! The staff member who helped me was friendly and made a great recommendation to put the sandwich on a biscuit (which they make fresh daily in house and it shows!! It was perfectly moist to stay together as a sandwich bun yet still flaky as a good biscuit should be!) The sandwich was huge and sloppy and delicious... be prepared with napkins plus a fork to scoop up any cheesy gooey goodness that escapes the sammy! The vibe in here was cool, would definitely come again. Good to note that there are no public restrooms, my 7 month pregnant self definitely wished otherwise. There are a few seats though to sit down and grub if you want to dine in.

I LOVE THE PUB CHIP SHOP!!! I used to live near here and didn't enjoy it enough. Now, every trip back to the 'burgh includes Thai Chili Boxty Tots. Non-negotiable. Will plan my travel around this meal. I have taken friends there and everyone has always loved their selections. I was pleased with my 2021 visit, seemingly great COVID safety protocol and the online ordering / pick up was super simple. 6 out of 5 rating if I could.

While watching BritBox last night, a lady mentioned sausage roll. That made me realize how long it had been since we had the Pub & Chip Shop. We knew we needed it for lunch today. Went down today and got it. It did not disappoint. We loved it and the food was exactly what we needed. I got the brisket and Welsh Cheese Boxty Tot (cut up tater tot shaped potato pancake). It was unreal. The brisket was tender with amazing flavor. The tot with the cheese was crunchy, cheesy deliciousness. Ahhhhh! My mom went the classic route and had fish and chips. She absolutely loved them. They were fresh, crunchy and exactly what you want when you order fish and chips. My husband had the sausage roll and a side of boxty tots. Can't wait to dive into my sausage roll with a side of HP Sauce at breakfast tomorrow. He loved it and said both were very good. We ordered sugar and glazed donuts. We'll definitely be enjoying those. Go check them out. You'll love them. We've never had anything bad there. Everything is epic. Mmmmm

Great baps and chips! No problem driving 35 minutes to eat here....we'll worth it! The fish sandwich was perfect cooled and their chips are the best in Pittsburgh IMHO.

I'll start with the fries they are thick cut and pretty soft me personally I like my fries crispy so I wasn't a big fan but they were average. The chicken was a step above a regular chicken finger nothing special. The fish on the other hand was great very crispy great taste. I'll definitely come back and next time I'll just get the fish and chips. Fries 5/10 Chicken 6.5/10 Fish 8/10

Great for donuts, great for pub food, just as advertised. Their donuts are absurd! As big as a baby's face. What we got: surf and turf, blt, two cookies and cream donuts. Probably should've just gotten one! Safety: absolutely. They allow one person in at a time to order, bring your order out when it's ready, have a mask rule, and have touchless (tap card) payment available.

I would go for a good savory pie anytime. This is one of the things that is surprisingly hard to find in the US, and I grew up with it because of British influence. (I've asked an American coworker once about savory pies and all he could thought of was the chicken pot pie!) This is how I ended up in this small shop on the South Side. It serves quite a few different kinds of British foods that would make any British person fill up with nostalgia -- fish and chips, savory pies, Scotch eggs, corned beef... in addition, it also has a lot of interesting, more fusion-style items. We ended up getting the Scotch eggs and a few meat pies. These came with chips, of course! The Scotch egg was on point, but the meat pies were hit or miss -- some were delicious, but some were a bit bland. I guess it really depends on what is inside, so maybe it's for you to pick your favourite. Either way, this is a great British place, and probably one of the better ones I've been to in the States. Give it a try if you happen to be in town.

It's been a while since I have been here and was craving their fish ... did not disappoint! I phoned ahead to order thinking they would be busy on a Friday night but got lucky to hit them in between the rush ... so sat down and ate. The staff was very friendly - the food was hot and delicious- the joint is clean ....could not get any better! Definitely will be a place I don't wait so long to go back to! Keep up the good work and great food!

DELICIOUS food. Freshness Great recipes and variety menu. Support independent restaurants

COVID-19 really made everything odd in the south side of Pittsburgh, PA but you can still trust The Pub Chip Shop to give you good service, good food and a kind compliment when you head out to take your meal with you rather than sitting indoors. Fried to perfection and HEAVY on the white meat, this sandwich was honestly TOO MUCH for my mouth. I literally had to take off one of the chicken tenders to be able to eat the sandwich with more ease. The extra chicken made for a nice snack later :) I did not explore vegetarian or vegan friendly options for this menu and therefor can not recommend anything beyond this sandwich, stuffed with juicy chicken, bacon and cheese of your choice. Apologies! #LGBTQIA friendly in my book and highly recommend hitting the neighbors, Benny Fierro's for dinner if you can manage the space in your belly! Thanks for the yum yum, Pub Chip Shop

Fun spot! Came in after a red-eye and picked up some delicious donuts. The staff was very welcoming and walked us through some of their unique flavors - all of which were worth a taste! Will be back to try more for sure!

I've only gone here once, but I'm definitely a fan! I ordered the classic fish & chips, but they've got a lot of other great items on their menu that I want to try. I came here during lunch so the wait was longer than I expected, but you could tell that everything was fried fresh, so it was definitely worth it. Next time, I'll make sure to throw in a couple of their delicious-looking homemade donuts!

Stopped at the Pub Chip Shop on my way back to Cleveland from Fallingwaters thanks to a Yelp search and I was impressed. Just a small mainly takeout place in a cool section of Pittsburgh. The shop is just a small kitchen, a counter and a couple of tables, but it has attitude. I ordered the Fish and Chips, which was a great deal for $9; for that I got 3 good sized halibut fillets and a large portion of fries. The food took a bit of time, but it came out very hot and fresh. The fish was fresh and well cooked, if anything a bit too hot to eat right away. The batter was good, although it had a tendency to not stick to the fish. The fries were excellent, crisp and hot as well. Overall an very good example of fish and chips. I also got 2 doughnuts on my way out, a cinnamon roll and a mint creme doughnut. Both of the doughnuts were nice, with the dough a little denser then most examples. The cinnamon roll was nicely balanced, not too sweet and with a subtle cinnamon flavor. The mint creme was rich and subtle as well, with the chocolate topping being a bit bitter. Pub Chip Shop was good and the value was good, well worth a try.

Probably the best "chippie" in Pittsburgh. Their signature food is the British style Fish & Chips. They use haddock in preference to cod. Their batter is flavorful, crisp on the outside and sift on the inside. The portion is also generous. I prefer their fish & chips to their chicken & fish. Their Brit style mushy peas are made from fresh peas and I can safely say they are as good or even better than what you would get at a British chippie. Their sausage roll was perfect. The sausage was flavorful and the pastry wrapping soft and flaky. The Scottish ancestry of the owner shows by the selection of "baps" on offer. There is no sitting in the restaurant. You order your food, pick it up and eat elsewhere. Recommend it strongly.

This is one of our favorite spots to eat. We are lucky to have such a gem in Pittsburgh. Next time we will arrive early enough to get the doughnuts too! Yummy

The Pub Chip Shop is takeout only. You can order your food pretty easily online ahead of time and you can even schedule a takeout order for a later time. I ordered the thai chili chicken tacos and thought they were delicious! I loved the thai chili sauce and the piece of chicken in each taco was huge!! I had tried one of their donuts before (which was really good), but this was my first time getting a meal. I will definitely be back! As a plus, they sell Leona's ice cream sandwiches!

Got take out as the dining area is still closed. We ordered fish & chips, chicken & chips, thai chili chicken tacos, and a chicken pie! The fish & chips were excellent! The fish was flaky and fresh. It came with a homemade tartar sauce. The chicken pieces were also tender for how big the pieces were. The tacos had nice flavor as well and were pretty huge. The chips did end up getting a bit soggy, so I look forward to having this fresh in person. The chicken pie was great as well. I love savory pies and they are hard to find in Pittsburgh. Overall, a great place to satisfy that fish & chips craving! Prices are reasonable.

I love their sister restaurant next door - Piper's Pub - so much I wanted to try the Pub Chip Shop since it's open for takeout during the covid shutdowns. I was not disappointed. I ordered fish and chips for me and my wife and loved it. I ordered the shrimp and chips for my kids and they ate it without willing to share a bite. My kids told me that they loved it because they could actually taste the shrimp and not just the batter. Translation they put just the right amount of batter on their food and you the consumer will benefit with a better meal because of it. But I had also ordered their buffalo Mac and cheese as a backup for my kids (my one daughter is getting extra picky with food during covid) and tried it my self. I think it's my new go to comfort food. There was so much great buffalo chicken on it and a nice slaw to calm the heat and add a crunch.

We were able to stop by here on a Friday around 6:30. Is was always a small shop but with covid precautions it is one person/party in the shop at a time, and it worked well. I was with my two kids and we all fit in there comfortable. They still had donuts left which was a treat. We got an order of chicken and chips (with a side of ranch), fish and chips (with tartar and malt vinegar), and a sausage roll with a side of chips. Everything was stellar. The chicken is super crispy and flavorful and the fish was light and tasty. The sausage roll was very good too, the sausage was flavorful and the pasty around it flaky and buttery. They packaged everything up nicely and brought it out to us when it was ready.

Worst pie I've ever tasted. I asked for a steak pie and they gave me a chicken pie. Idiots don't know the difference between the two. I would not recommend this place. I can make better pies at home myself. Some people would eat anything. But this is Pittsburgh and I know you love your disgusting food

My husband is from Australia, and I wanted to get him some sausage rolls and pies since he's been feeling pretty homesick lately--I remembered getting sausage rolls with him in Perth around Christmas a few years ago. I found the Pub Chip Shop online and decided to try it out, and we had a delicious lunch that we both enjoyed. I loved the Thai Chili Boxty Tots and the scotch egg, while he enjoyed the sausage rolls, brisket cheddar tots, and a pie. This place is awesome and we'll definitely return the next time we're in Pittsburgh! Glad to know about this spot so I can surprise my husband with some familiar and festive treats.

Authentic fish and chips. Donuts -- rather surprisingly. And the most friendly man running the shop (who has been there since the shop open more than a decade ago). Primarily takeout. But there is a single two-seat table and four counter seats that allow you to watch the world on Carson go by. We also purchased two meat pies to take with. Yum. All in all, a delightful experience. We shall return.

Wife and I went here the other night for dinner. We sore the reviews on Yelp and decided to give it a shot. I had a chicken pot pie and a salad. The place is on the small side and has enough seating for maybe 15-20 people tops. You go to the front counter pay for what you want then they call you to pick it up when it is ready. The food was ok, The salad was nothing special at all and the Chicken pot pie was cold and too me at least just ok. I do have to say I did ask the guy which was better the chicken pot pie or sirloin pot pie and he did say the sirloin. Maybe Ill go back and try that instead. The prices were excellent and the meal was very inexpensive. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful with the menu. I would probably trying it again and give the place a 2nd shot as the prices were very inexpensive.

Wow, this place is great! Everything on the menu is priced VERY reasonably. We were able to get a variety of things for two people, and the total cost was around ~$24. Its a very small restaurant, there are long tables for community seating. You order at the front and then pick up your food once they call it out. I was a little disappointed that the service was kind of slow. It felt like we were waiting a really long time for the food, and no one was in line before us, but at least you know everything is freshly made. We got fish and chips, scotch eggs, and the thai chili sauce tacos. My favorite was probably the thai chili sauce tacos--SO good. I wish I had the whole order for myself, honestly. The scotch eggs were really good too, and my only complaint about the fish and chips was I wish the fish was not as thinly cut and not fried as darkly as it was. Overall, the food is literally so good and I wish I could come back soon. Especially because their donuts and pies look really as well. You can't beat the price for the quality of food that is served.

Always great fish and chips. Surprisingly I actually enjoyed my last food truck experience more than the brick and mortar. Don't get me wrong, fish and chips were great. One of my pieces of fish tonight weren't as great as normal. I will say the portion in the restaurant, chips wise, was bigger. I also ordered for the first time tonight a scotch egg. It was ok, I probably wouldn't order again, not because of how it tasted, just wasn't my thing. I will say the dipping sauce that came with the egg was great and I dipped fries in it as well. People working the shop were super friendly too.

I love this small chip and fish shop! I have been here a handful of times and am never disappointed. I normally ordered the fish and chips. The fried fish crispy and delicious. The "chips", which are fries, are also pretty good. They are on the thicker side. Their fried shrimp is also worth the try. They also offer Just Good Donuts, which are huge creative donuts. As I said before this space is pretty tiny. They have two picnic tables and an counter against the window with seating. I tend to get take out from here and it normally only takes 10-20 minutes. The staff is also incredibly friendly and helpful, even during their lunch rush! If you're looking for good fried fish this is definitely a spot to check out.

What?!?! I have never had such a great cheddar pie in my life Pie is crispy. Cheese is the main flavor but the u found the cheese flavor is reinforced by the juicy pork at the bottom of the pie. Greasy?! Not at all!!! U cannot stop from eating it

WOW!! I am a huge fan of this place. It's amazing. I get the fish and chips with a side of mac & cheese and my wife gets the boxty tots. The first time she got the beef brisket and the second time she got the crazy hot chicken or whatever it's called. I don't really eat non-seafood meat but I tried a bite of hers each time and it was amazing, heavenly, and delicious. Wow... The fish is great, the chips (as an American I hate calling them that) are also incredible, as is the macaroni and cheese. I tried the coleslaw once and while it was fine, it wasn't really something I'd go out of my way to order more than once. It was chipped pretty finely and I guess I was hoping for something with longer strands of cabbage. The guy working here is awesome, too. Really friendly cool guy, so I have to give him a shoutout in this review. Oh, and don't get me started on the donuts... I guess there's a reason they sell out by noon. I guess I lucked out on the day I went because they still had some left and man, they might have been the best donuts I've ever had. The "Yinzer Creme" was astonishing; it just melts in your mouth and the sugar goes directly to your brain like a hit of the best drug you've ever had. It's great. This is a place I want to eat at at least once a week but it's very greasy and carb-loaded so I don't feel like it's something I should be eating too often. Trying to push my orders here to once every week and a half or two weeks. Either that or I'll just hit the exercise bike even more to balance out. Overall? This place is just damn good, and very reasonably priced. My only wish is that it was a little closer; I live in central Pittsburgh and this place is in the Southside.
