Went here for dinner because of all the great reviews. Not sure why there are so many positive reviews. This is a road side dive. You sit at a bench on the side of the road. Ambiance is a zero. The woman who served us was pleasant but after we had our fish and chips fried told us we should’ve gotten it broiled cause then it wouldn’t have been so dry. That would’ve been useful info to have while we were ordering. The fish was dry. There was no malt vinegar or tartar sauce available.
