Another Fish n Chips Review. I have to say that I've had the FnS here and at other Applebees locations. It's consistent and about the only thing I ever get.
1. Fish. It's always a generous portion. 3 filet I believe. And it's a nice flaky white fish. No deductions. 5 stars.
2. Batter. It's crispy, golden and not too doughy. Usually sticks pretty well to the fish and doesn't slide off the fish at the first bite. Could be a little lighter, and sometimes it's a little too greasy but rarely. 4 stars.
3. Chips. Usually pretty good. A good sized portion. Well seasoned. 4 Stars
4. Accompaniments: This is where they lose a couple points for me. The Tarter sauce meets all the criteria, but there's no malt vinegar and they are stingy with the lemon wedges. 3 stars.
5. X-factors. It's a chain place. They offer a lousy selection of beers, and slim pickin's on the whiskey or Scotch. They do have G.L. Dortmunder. The servers at the Independence/Seven Hills location seem to be exceptionally good which makes this category a little unfair, but I can't give it more than 2 stars here. Sorry but this place is a lousy bar.
Tallied up that's a 3.6 which generously rounds up to a 4.
