The Chip Shop — Restaurant in Port Macquarie

What can I say??? Unlike the other reviewers below, when I walked in I was not greeted by these friendly staff mentioned, they must have been off that day, as I was greeted by some teenage boys proudly sporting their bum fluff moustaches, who struggled to string two words together. After ordering, I waited for an amazing 25min for some chips and fish cocktails, with one person ahead of me in queue. So these teenagers couldn't speak in full sentences, and couldn't cook efficiently either. Food came out and in fairness, the fish cocktails were beautiful, unlike the chips which were overcooked and dry. Good stuff boys. Leaving the place, I asked if there were salt sachets available, to which the boys managed to string the words together to tell me that no, they did not have sachets and I had to pay extra for plain salt in a container. When spending a decent amount of money at an establishment, is it hard to then give the customer some salt in a container??? I know that there's a credit crunch, but that's taking the mickey. I don't like to write this review, but this was ridiculous. Poor experience and won't...

If you are in Port Macquarie, look no further. My wife is a chef and researches where to eat, consequently when feeling like fish and chips we finished here yesterday. Prior to this, our best fish and chips were at Nelson Bay, but The Chip Shop is next level. 5 pieces of Whiting for $10.00 cooked to perfection. Thin batter, no hint of oiliness and generous portions. I had 3 potato scallops that were filled with a good even amount of soft potato and thin crisp batter - as good as it gets. The chips exemplified the name of the establishment; wonderful! To be honest, on the advice of some locals, we went back today for lunch to try the burgers. Just as good. I ordered one with the lot, no pineapple and it came with bacon, egg, cheese, pickles, fresh tomato and beetroot with a healthy serve of lettuce. You don’t need double patties etc when you get a generous home made beef patty. The staff too were uniformly friendly and efficient. Cannot recommend...
