| - A couple of weeks ago I was watching Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives...BIG MISTAKE! This show is a heart attack in the making.
It also gives you cravings...often for food you can't possibly get, because they're making some crazy thing across the country that you cannot possibly find a duplicate for.
Naturally I got a crazy craving for fish and chips...my mistake being that this was a Sunday and for whatever reason, no fish and chip places are open on Sunday.
I did a lot of looking around, before I found this place, which wasn't too far away and was, most importantly, open!
This is a quirky place, with wood panelling on the walls and some random fish hung around the place.
Fry's boasts full day breakfasts and the fish and chips. I saw plenty of people coming for the full day breakfasts, which are decently priced and looked pretty good, if nothing special.
We came for the F&Cs though!
We ordered the single piece, which was MORE than enough food. Quite expensive though. You're looking at around $15/meal of one large piece of fish and some fries.
It was good, but it wasn't great. Worst of all, the tartar sauce came in sealed packages....ugh.
I'm sorry, but when I'm paying a premium for my fish and chips, at a place named after it's Fish and Chips...I WANT SOME DAMN PROPER TARTAR SAUCE! It's only like the EASIEST thing in the world to make.
Service was fine. No complaints. The waitress did her job...took our order, gave us our food and gave us the bill....that was her job and she did no more and no less.
The restaurant ambiance wasn't there, the food wasn't special and the prices weren't good.
Next time I get a fish and chips craving I'm going to try elsewhere.
