I think my review deserves to be amended slightly.
I had the opportunity to eat at Scallywags for lunch this week with my coworkers and I can say with confidence that I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. Even my coworker who shared in my unfavourable opinion of Scallywags as our team lunch destination enjoyed his meal.
Perhaps the occasion on which I ordered the fish and chips was a one off experience. This time around the fries were golden and crispy, either because they fried them just right this time or used a new type of fry.
Service was still a bit slow. That and accounting for my previous experiences I feel I cannot give Scallywags a full 5 stars but I can probably feel good about returning again.
