Nowadays the firm receives a score of 4.4 stars over 5 and this score was based on 127 reviews.
You may have noticed that it reaches an reviews average is very high, and it is based on a very high number of feddbacks, so we may conclude that the score is quite faithful. If many people have bothered to leave their review when they've done well, is that it works.

This Fish Shop is included in the category of Restaurant.
The fish was very good. The batter was thin but crispy and the meat was juicy and fishy too. The coleslaw salad dressing was delicious but the chips were fiasco. The potatoes used were of low quality without taste of potato and were fried too dry to attempt to make them crispy.
Love this place. We order takeout from here about 6 times a year. We always get combo A. Great prices and the food's excellent. Pleasant owner.
Best fish and chips in Victoria
Excellent fish and chips! Light crispy batter, really quick service. New owners but everything is just as good!
Great food, prices and staff.
Simple menu done well, it's hard to find a decent fish and chips diner. Dirty Nellie's hit the spot for sure. Staff are professional, pleasant, and competent. One downside I found was there were a couple of tables that were in awkward areas by the counter. Seems a little hazardous if some day a glass slips off the high counter and strikes someone on the head. High stools are a more practical, safer option. Plus I don't want to be meandering around seated guests while I'm trying to pay. Will be returning. Check it out.
We ordered fish and chips from here for the first time and were overly impressed! Not only was the fish was cooked perfectly using a good amount of batter, but the chips, coleslaw, and tartar sauce were all delicious as well. We got take out for 4 people and the price was really reasonable. We especially like that the fish and chips come wrapped in paper for take out, so there's not much plastic or styrofoam waste!
I would have given them 5 but it seems they have changed their tar tar sauce and I loved their original tar tar sauce.
Pros: accessible public parking Cheap Clean Fish is perfectly battered. Not too greasy. Fries is just right...not overly soggy or too crispy.
Service
Delicious!!! Halibut fish and chips!!!
Awesome
The best chips in town????
Best fish n chips in the city
great food! Ordered the cod fish and fries for 40$
Some of the tastiest fries and poutine I've had. Keep up the good work.
Great halibut!
Terrible service. Every time I go there, the place seems to be closed. This one time I finally manage to make it in there, I ask just for a portion of chips - and get told I have to make an order of fish with it (I know it's a fish and chip shop, however I should be able to buy any product being offered in store) it's all about the $$. The guy behind the counter looked at me when I asked for fries, and said "can't you read the sign?" Rude & unprofessional....Haultain Fish & Chips are amazing, and the service is fantastic!! As a Brit, I recommend them!
100% the best fish and chips I've ever had
Nice place
Best place for seafood
Great food
We moved to Cordova Bay in 2011 and discovered Naughty Nellie's Not Just Fish & Chips through Urban Spoon. We are SO glad we tried it. True to the review we read, it's a little kitsch inside, but the food is AMAZING. My husband is from England and takes his fish n' chips very seriously. He puts NNNJFC right up there with some of the best he's had back home. I hope they never sell the store, I would be devastated!!!!!!
Best F&C in Victoria IMHO. Takeout price per piece is relatively high but the pieces are very generously sized. Takeout order of chips is HUGE!!
Awestome food here.
The Best fish and chips in all of Victoria
Best fish and chips hands down in Victoria BC. Always fresh with large portions and reasonable prices. If you don't know about this place you do now and trust me you will not be disappointed.
Perfect batter!! Both halibut and cod were delicious. Best mushy peas I've ever eaten!!
Awesome fish & chips!
Naughty Nellies is always great! Tasty fish and Loads of fries. The coleslaw though…. Come on, delicious!!!!
Good portions and fair prices. Always enjoyed
Lunch
Great place for fish n chips. Fantastic quality. Good quantity. Prices are still somewhat reasonable. Not over battered like a lot of other places.
Absolutely the most perfect place to eat fish and chips on Van Island. There service is good and quick, and its a perfect family night dinner. 8/8 would 8 their again
My parents are humble folk who rarely eat out. When they do, they look for quality products and affordability. Naughty Nellie's fits the bill for them, and for me as well. I can't recall how many fun picnics we've had in the back yard over a serving of fresh fish and chips! Delicious and well-priced, we are fans for life. Our personal pick: 2-pieces of cod with hot fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce. It is enough to feed two people. Amazing!
the server is only nice to me when I am with my parents, the food was absolutely wonderful (best i've eaten in a very long time). However I have to wait for my parents who live in Alberta to come down before I can go back as the server was rude and unprofessional. She acted as though I was a teenager trying to scam her or something, and when I didn't tip her (she didn't deserve one), she was even more rude. Great food though, perhaps hire someone more professional and tolerant to serve food and I can spend more money here and give you a better rating.
cheap and good
The only reason I am giving this place a 3 is because the food was good. When I placed the order the person was extremely rude. And once I got the food home, I could not believe you don't get tarter sauce. You are telling me you have to ask for it. Every single place I have gotten fish and chips it came with it as well as coleslaw. I was so upset. I will be telling everyone. There are so many place in Victoria to get fish and chips.
Great Halibut burger
It was wayyyyy better than recent reviews...great staff, great food, decent prices, and amazing view on patio
Really good fish and chips and reasonable prices. The service was efficient and courteous.
Some of the best fish and chips you will ever have, good portion sizes for the price, and always very flavourful and tasty. Service is always super nice and welcoming, and even with ownership changing in the family, it still has the same charm and taste.
Covid compliant. Excellent food. Fast service.
As good as my favourite location in Toronto
Very fresh cod and great chips????????♂️
Really good fish and chips!
We really love this place! Great food..great prices
Best Fish & Chips in Victoria!!!
Excellent fish N chips, the fries alone are worth the trip.
Really good fish and chips and coleslaw too. Bring cash if you're dining in as you have to line up after eating with takeout folks if you're using a debit or credit card. Would still go back!
Excellent people servicing
Fantastic place with great fish and chips! A little more expensive but it shows in the quality! Don't be discouraged by reviews saying they are rude they are definitely not rude we get take out and they are so nice to me and my son and always give him a treat! We love this place!
The fish is very good but I would come back more often if they improve their fries. Instead of quantity they should use better quality potatoes. Then this place could be a top fish and chip shop! Update Feb 5, 2020. The fries are now much better so I would highly recommend this place now.
Best fish & chips I've ever had so far ! The deep fried oyster was great as well.
Food is always good Service is friendly and helpful. Establishment is always. clean and welcoming.
6 stars for the cleanliness. The fish(snapper) and chips were excellent and the coleslaw was light and tasty
Loved this place under old ownership, although it's not 100% the same under the new ownership, I still love it. Best fish and chips on the island !
Awesome owners/cooks. Delisious fish & chips
Now if you like fish and chips this is the place for you. Most likely one of the Best Fish and Chips shop there is in Victoria
Great food
Excellent! Generous portions of fish and chips. You're choice, Halibut or Cod. Friendly and efficient service in a cozy UK type environment.
Best Halibut Burger in town
I just enjoyed the best fish and chips dinner I have ever had in my life, at Naughty Nellie's restaurant. I very rarely say this about anything, but the food was done flawlessly. The friendly host greeted my guest and I, then seated us as quickly as he could. It was my first time to Nellie's, so our wonderful server, explained items on the menu and checked with the kitchen, to make sure the salmon was caught wild. First we enjoyed some perfectly cooked prawns with zesty seafood sauce. Then, they served the incredibly tender halibut plate and the amazing sockeye salmon plate, with plenty of crispy delicious fries on the side. They also included a side of delicately shredded coleslaw and possibly the best tartar sauce on the planet. My guest and I exchanged one of our pieces of fish, to enjoy the halibut and salmon flavours together. There are also many other options on the menu, so I will be visiting often and they can probably satisfy everyone in your family. Thanks for the excellent experience guys.
This is the closest to British-style Fish & Chips I've had outside of Britain. Exceptional food and generous portions - especially the chips. This place has changed ownership several times in the past few years, but have retained their main cooks, so older reviews complaining about the service may no longer be relevant while older reviews praising the food will be. I've always found the service to be very friendly, however, and have never had a complaint. I agree they should probably ask if the customer wants ketchup or tartar sauce given that the Canadian version of the dish almost always includes it. The family packs do come with tartar sauce, just for the record. Have seen a couple of reviews showing photos of the ocean/harbour views... that is "Nautical Nellie's", which is a very good seafood joint in downtown Victoria, not "Naughty Nellie's", which is a chip shop in the suburbs. Understandable mistake. If you come here expecting ocean views, you'll be disappointed.
Super friendly staff. Good fish and chips
Probably my favorite fish and chips spot in town and I've tried most. Problem with my pick up order last time but when brought to the owners attention he did what he could to fix it. Best tartar sauce I've had.
Best fish and chips in town and the staff are always friendly.
Ordered the halibut burger and fries, good portion sizes and very fresh fish. The taste was good and i love the family environment.
Our go to place for fish & chips! The other day we called 5 minutes before they closed and they still accommodated our order. My husband and I always order extra food - throw it in the oven the next day for a few minutes and its just as good if not better than the day before!
(Translated) Shake by bus from downtown If you notice, you don't get isolated in a residential area Are you hungry? If so, good luck This Fish & Chips shop There was. Of salmon, flounder, cod and other fish Slicing the fillet outside, Inside is a juicy and thick fish fly Exquisite salty Crispy Assorted french fries Caesar salad with sour taste And bread was a set. With plenty of tartar sauce Please give me ketchup. Fish fries have no odor, Because it is thick, there is a response to eating I wanted sake! Price is reasonable and take-out Doing But, It ’s better to eat freshly The right choice! (Original) ダウンタウンからバスで揺られて 気がつけば住宅街で孤立無援で 空腹ですか? ならば、幸運です このフィッシュ&チップスのお店が ありましたよ。 サーモンやカレイ、タラなどの魚の 切り身を外はサックリ、 中はジューシーで肉厚なフィッシュフライに 絶妙な塩気がきいた サクサクホクホク フライドポテトの盛り合わせ 酸味が癖になるシーザーサラダ とパンがセットでした。 たっぷりのタルタルソースと ケチャップで頂いてください。 魚のフライは臭みが全く無く、 分厚いので食べ応えがあり お酒が欲しくなりました! 値段も手頃でテイクアウトも やっています しかし、 出来立てを食べる方が 正しい選択です!
Certainly very good fish and chips, a smallish but very well run operation. Staff is competent and friendly.
Best fish and chips we've had in a while. We had the 2 peice halibut with small fries (small fries were plenty enough for 2 people) fries/chips were cooked to perfection. The halibut was cooked to perfection and lightly battered. We order take out and are in the parking lots since we were on a work trip and had a small dog with us. The tarter sauce was blended perfectly with zesty lemon and dill. Coleslaw was fresh and and just the right amount of dressing. They also had an assortment of drinks so we got a can of coke to go with our lunch. Over all we highly recommend. Staff was super friendly and helpful prices were reasonable. Highly recommend the fish and chips at Nellies!
Great fish and chips at reasonable prices. Dine in with an old time shop feel or take out. More than fish and chips available.
Nice neighbourhood fish and chips. Worth busing out to
Super greasy and my kids take out came in news paper .I know thats fish and chips thing , but what a mess .
one of my two goto spots for fish and chips! the beef burger is fantastic as well!
GOOD fish and chips. I like the Cole slaw. Comes with a roll. Not sure why they have creamers in the table for coffee.No one has coffee it appears. Prices are good and always busy which is always a good sign.
great neighborhood place, and best fries in town! great portion sizes, prices, and excellent service. I've been eating here for years.
Very pleased thank you.
Really great fish and chips. Our waiter was attentive and service was fast.
Nice people serving good food. A neighborhood treasure.
Probably the best Fish n Chips ive ever had. Super reasonable price too! Everyone must go here!
Regularly get some halibut and chips. Always plenty of chips and good batter on the fish.
Tastes fine and is as it is advertised as, but I can’t really handle the grease. Might be just how fish chips are, but the grease definitely hits me.
Good fish and chips, recieved good service
Try hard to please, and do a good job doing it. much better than the so called number one place. Service is fast and polite. See tons of take out orders
Best fish and chips with friendly and quick service for a great price. A great choice for family takeout night
Fish is good coke slaw is terrible
I've always had a good experience eating here in the past, but my gosh not tonight's food. I'm not sure if they have changed their chef recently but this was the worst fish and chips I've ever had. The chips (technically fries) were soggy and have no flavour (they look very bland compared to normal fries), and the fish, again was very soggy. Hopefully you sort it out soon.
Everyone is so nice and foods are delicious
Food has always been very good and generous portions. Staff is friendly and very curtious. We are definitely repeat customers.
Such a great, comfy place. Been coming here for years. They fry everything to order, the fish is lightly battered and crispy,sweet and the chips are nice and fluffy on the inside and steaming hot. Homemade tartar sauce too i'm pretty sure. Totally worth the wait.
First time being there been told many times from family that the food was excellent I will agree with that. Red snapper scallops and oysters was a wonderful dinner. Staff was very courteous and polite will be going back to it again. Until next time I wish you all the best.
Excellent cod fish, fries, coleslaw & homemade tartar sauce delicious food NEVER disappointed! Victoria's hidden secret
Great value , food too hot to eat , but worth the wait , chicken strips are best in city
Nellies is always tasty, and i find the staff to be really friendly. It has become a regular stop for my husband and myself.
A real hit with the seniors crowd. Large portions and low prices.
Usually have a great experience here, however tonight was an disaster from start to finish , due to covid there is no dine in , so we specifically asked the guy on the phone for cutlery and paper plates as we were going to go for a picnic and needed such items to properly eat the dinner , when picking up our food , we asked if there was tarter sauce in the bag because who can eat fish with out tarter sauce?? We found out that they charge separately for the sauce which I personally have never heard of, that was a slight annoyance as we had to make a separate purchase just for what I believe should come with the purchased meal as a condiment. We then asked if everything else was in the bag, they said yes , we left! When we got to our destination we found out that not only did they forget the plates, but also napkins and knifes , so we were unable to even eat our meal! All of that is forgiveable, chalk up to a bad night , what is NOT forgivable is the response we received when we called to explain our experience with their establishment, the manager was rude , unapologetic, and only suggestion to us was it’s fine , never come back to their restaurant, which is not a problem as I will never return to a business that speaks so rudely and disrespectful to their customers.
Very good fish and chips, good service and arrives quickly.
Pricey for below mediocre food
Different owners but still good place to go. Best fish and chips ever! Wonderful large portions of fresh halibut, and the fries are excellent. Solid fish & chips. Lucky for us this place is in our neighborhood, otherwise we might not have known about it. They regularly have coupons available in the Saanich News but even without, the value is good. Chip portions are very generous so consider sharing.
Excellent fish & chips....but the staff have no manners whatsoever. I'm not expecting to become best friends with them, but at least show some gratitude for the people supporting your business!
Such bland food! I ordered a salmon burger and fries, the burger only had (very warm and wilted) lettuce and barely any tartar sauce. Honestly tasted like nothing. The fries had no salt on them either. I wouldn’t eat here again
Was good
The $11.49 special for 2 pieces of snapper + chips, coleslaw, and tartar sauce was extremely good value. Everything in it was good, and these were big slabs of fish. One order was enough for two people.
Best fish and chips in Victoria hands down! Yes, its in a suburban strip mall, but don't turn up your nose until you've tried it! ... we've eaten a lot of fish and chips, and are pretty particular about traditional fish and chips. The batter:fish ratio has to be perfect, the batter not overdone and not doughy, with enough taste and substance on its own, without overpowering the fish! Spend the extra to get halibut when its in season! Naughty Nellie's has a few seats inside for dining-in, but also does a steady takeout business (your fish and chips portions come traditionally wrapped ... in unprinted newspaper).
Good fish and ????
I honestly do not know how the ratings are earned but this is the best place in town. I have been to them all, several times over the last 30 years and this is the best, for food, service and atmosphere. And it's local.
It's a great place in a great neighbourhood. I live near the place and I love eating there. It may not be fancy, but it is delicious.
Naughty Nellie's is our favorite fish and chip shop in the city. Food quality is excellent, portions generous and cost reasonable. They have a small indoor seating area, closed of course due to Covid, but they have always had excellent takeout service and so they adapted to Covid reality very well.
Family owned and operated. Undisputed best fish and chips in victoria with especially good tartar sauce. Generous portions, very friendly staff. Asian operated so no Monday fish and chips.
Good size serving of food for the price. Everything was hot and perfectly done.
Kind of a weird place and setting but, you can't argue with the food. Had the halibut and chips. Fantastic
Good fish & Chip's
Phoned my order in and it was ready within a minute of picking it up. Generous chips and piping hot even when I got home with it. Definitely going back!
Amazing food this little hole in the wall has gone through an ownership change and now has amazing customer service. Before you had to tolerate terrible service but now the new owners provide the best of both worlds. Also the prices are insanely low, 12 bucks for a 2 piece fish and chip meal with coleslaw and a bun.
Incredibly tasty, with very generous portions. I had the salmon and chips and it was absolutely perfect! Will be returning!
Our favourite place in Victoria to have fish and chips. Good decent size pieces of fish .....chips are great and come unsalted . And the owners are very nice people
Very good
Pretty good fish & chips. I liked the crispy batter and the portion size of the chips was pretty big. It's hard to find anything comparable to what you'd get in the UK but it was pretty close.
Why is the restaurant called that?
Amazing fish, good service, would be a winner on diners, drive ins and dives !
Dinner
A very popular Fish and Chip joint in Gordon Head. Pro-tip: call in your order for pick up if you are doing take out during the dinner rush instead of waiting in line to place an order. They give you tonnes of fries, a nice thick cut they make from fresh potatoes, though they are never all that crisp. The batter on the fish is light soft, not overcooked. They make their own coleslaw, which is also quite good. There isn't much seating capacity, so if you want a seat try to avoid the rush. If you see a big line at the door, don't let that intimidate you. Those people are mostly there for take out and the line moves fast.
Good food but very disappointed in the service. At 745 PM on Friday they cleaned and vacuumed around us. With bleach!
Best fish and chips in town!
This place is such a gem. The staff are attentive, hard working, and kind. The prices are so cheap for the amazing quality and quantity of food that you get! A very cute and charming atmosphere/decor. I will for sure recommend this place to family/friends and will be coming back asap for fish and chips!! :)
Great food great price fast service i go here alot
Good fish and chips friendly service
Very good
Fish and Chip places in Victoria run the gauntlet of ick to yay! This is in the yay category. I have eaten here many times as it's my mother in laws favorite place. Fish is cooked perfectly and never too greasy. Fries are intentionally left unseasoned to let you determine the amount of salt you want to put on them. Works out in my family as I like a little salt, my husband not any, my kids a lot and my mother in law likes salt and vinegar.
Best fish and chips on the west coast. Halibut is superb, lightly battered, home made cole slaw, very reasonably priced, good size portions. Excellent service, friendly owners. We always visit here when in Victoria.
Always great portions....
Top quality food
Never disappoints. Staff are friendly. Fish and chips are always good. Best coleslaw amongst all the "chippies" in town!
Take out
Delicious seafood and side dishes at incredibly reasonable prices
Service
This place is a hidden gem. For sure top 2 fish and chip places in town. You can order to pick up but sitting in is a much better experience. The fish is fresh and crisp, fries are the best and the coleslaw is delish!
Perfect comfort food. Learn how to reheat your fries properly the next day (on a baking sheet, 20 minutes at 400 -450 until the oil seeps back out and the fries get crispy again) because you'll almost always have leftovers. Main items fall into the "brown food" category, but delightfully so. A guilty pleasure that I can feel 12 hours later, the delicious oil still coming out of my pores.
Awesome fish and chips
I am writing to say , if you buy anything in styro foam from NN's ~ REMOVE it from the packaging immediately upon getting it home ~ The packaging leaches into your food after an hour or so, that's in the fridge . The foam material SWEATS purple water drops through the container ~ this happened on Friday June 5 2015, in a large coleslaw container 2 hours after buying it. :( I called NN's on June 7 2015, the owner did not take my comments seriously ~ I calmly suggested they tell their customers to remove goods from the styro once they get home, if food was not eaten immediately. The owner thought any sort of normal person would know NOT to keep anything in styro...meant to be eaten right away etc... Also owner said they purchase styro @ wholesalers like everyone else. Fair enough. I remember styro being more food safe than this, I suppose these are some of the ' problems ' with faulty and cheap manufacturing... While NN's might get 5 stars from many, it gets a BIG THUMBS DOWN for going with the byline that is this ~ WTH everyone else is buying into this packaging what's the big deal...Really ? I don't think so. NN's leaves a bad taste in this Mom's mouth.
Great food
We visit quite often. Due to Covid we haven't had much of a chance till recently to dine in. I had the seniors halibut. It was excellent in quality and price. Limited seating numbers and separation panels made one feel safe.
Tasty fish, friendly owners and staff
Great English food served quickly
Always hot, fresh and tasty. Great value in Saanich - one of the best Fish & Chips in BC!
Fish tasted great. Very flaky and gave us lots of fries. Will definitely go back soon
Reasonable price fast service
I get inside at 7 pm and the man asking me here or to go? I tell him for here: he say is only to go after 7 pm. By the way I didn't even had the time to look for the menu. Again racist people from Asia.
Can you say...Fish n Chips!!! We have been going to Naughty Nellie's for years...Never disappointed..no greasy mess here. A smaller restaurant but great food. Full covid practices. England has nothing on this hidden gem.
Wonderful, generous pieces of fish...perhaps a bit oily...but tasty. Great home cut chips, dill in the tartar sauce, crunchy slaw and malt as well as white vinegar available.
They prepared the food very fast . Large portions . Our group was very satisfied. 2 thumbs up
Beat fish and chips in Victoria.
Why is the restaurant called that?
Excellent value, very tasty hallibut!
The fish and chips are great as always, but unfortunately it's becoming a more and more expensive place, having halibut and fries.
Great Halibut burger
Best fish in Victoria. Fresh and really good prices must go to
Nice cod burgers, good crunch and moisture! Don't try the calamari though. It tastes distinctly like it's been in the freezer too long... the smell didn't work for me either. Will definitely go back, but not for that.
Great fish chips
crispy outside and yet moisture inside. Very good fries!
Loved this place, but tonight was so bad probably wont risk my courtesy second chance for long time .one of my usual orders increased by 10 dollars, dinner rolls "accidentally" forgot. And fish could only have been more limp if it was steamed , rather than fried . *note , to be fair I was given the option to waste 2 bucks of gas to come pick up my 30 cents worth of dinner rolls . Thanks
Quality and quantity of food both good
Meal type
Great food would recommend
After going there for 15 years i`m fed up with the rude Owner and and his now Greasy Fish and Chips! His cooks are not allowed to talk so they don`t care to drain the fish after frying and the fries are not fresh, skin on hand cut, they taste processed. When the owner has to put up prices because fish has gone up instead of explaining in in a polite way he yells at regular customers and tells them to go some where else and yes i will now be going to Haltain Fish & Chips! PS. Those very old No Name Google Reviews down below don`t fool anyone they just make it look like you have a great rating at first glance and you probably had someone put them there for you.
Awesome place
Great food ????
This Brit loves his fish and chips, and the halibut here is among the best I’ve ever tasted - cooked to perfection.
Had family in town who wanted fish and chips. Having ordered here before, we thought of Naighty Nellies first. They were open but could not be bothered to answer their phone that evwning. If they can’t be bothered, I can’t be bothered to give them my business anymore.
Order takeout - it's much cheaper! For the price (of takeout), they give you a large piece of fish (the cod is about the size of a phone) and lots of fries, both cooked perfectly. They also give you plenty of tartar sauce!
Our favorites fish & chips in town!
Good portions and fair prices. Always enjoyed
Fabulous fish and chips
Great place. Love the oyster burgers!!
Dine in
Meal type
Nice size portions & delicious battered cod. All wrapped in paper and newsprint.
When you've been going to the same GREAT fish and chip place for years you get concerned when new people take ownership. Well rest assured at Naughty Nellie's the fish and chips are fantastic! The fish is firm with a light crisp batter. They are an enthusiastic bunch and make you feel very welcome.
Awesome halibut burger
We love eating in or taking out for the best fish and chips in town! Massive amount of fries, reasonable prices and quick pickup.
The best!
The best fish n chips in town...wourderful staff
Deep fried halibut and chips, my Dad and brother love it. I usually get chicken Strips and gravy. Always busy. Service hit and miss. Free parking.
Excellent food
My son and I went to NN's for lunch today. The Halibut and Chips we ordered were fantastic. We were pleasantly surprised when the plates arrived - the serving was generous and delicious. When I say generous and delicious I mean the ramkin was stacked with fresh and bright coleslaw, the chips were great - golden brown on the outside and fully cooked on the inside - fresh fried to perfection. The star of the plate was the professionally cooked halibut - just the right balance of fish and coating fried to that golden, crispy bite we all desire. The friendly, courteous service made the entire visit special. I will definitely return in the future. Thank you to the cook and staff at NN's for producing a superior product.
Maybe the best in town. Big portions too.
Damn. Good. Fish.
Fish and chips like they should BE!! I’ve been coming to this establishment for years! And so have the bulk of his customers. The weather changes but this place continues to turn out one of the most consistent product in the city! The new owners seamlessly took over from John and Stella, and the product is as good as it was, if not better. The new owners are hard workers and take great pride in continuity of quality and service. I sat down with the new owner and he filled me in on just a little of what goes on behind the scenes in order to bring quality to the public!! They still peel their own potatoes and make their own coleslaw!! One of my favorites is the Caesar salad!! Always crisp and fresh when served. Georgio the chief fryer has been here for at least 20 years, and I would say that he is one of the reasons NF&C does so well. I would say he has fried many filets of fish and could do it in his sleep. He also takes great pride in his work, and his product proves it. I highly recommend this charming and delicious fish and chip restaurant!! You won’t be sorry you came! Hey, they make great hamburgers too! ENJOY!!
The best fish and chips ????????in Victoria hands down! Fast, fresh, reasonably priced! You absolutely can not go wrong! ???? Thank you Naughty Nellie's ????
Stopped by while in town on business. Very friendly staff, excellent portion size. Both the fish and chips were excellent, would definitely visit again if in the area.
very nice place,best fish and chips in town!
If I could give you 6 stars I would! Those were some of the biggest halibut pieces I've been served in a long time!! And some of the best onion rings I've had in a while!!
Best fish and chip Halibut and chips ????????
A good meal for a reasonable price.
Got kicked out of the restaurant for sharing with my mom they said she needs to order her own plate. Was also told to come back later at 12 o'clock because the owner's wife was eating
Would recommend
Food was good (had cod fish & chips), but the service left a bit to be desired. We were told we weren't allowed to sit inside even though they never asked us if we wanted it to go. They wouldn't even give us ketchup or tartar sauce for our food after charging us a different price than what was listed on the menu. Would maybe return...but only if they were to give us a free bottle of tartar sauce.
The best fish and chips. It wasn't greasy and the taste... Wonderful
Gone way down hill since it was sold. This WAS the best in town, now it's marginal at best! Portions are small, halibut isn't thick anymore, they are buying steaks with bones and cutting it off bone, cheaper thinner pieces. Their fries are half the size as they use to be and barely feed two for a family. They don't give tartar sauce anymore and the price has gone up slightly. Sad that happened by selling, but new owners don't get why this was such a great shop before.
Best fish and chips i have ever had.
Very friendly people. Nice food. A little bit small for the customers they have.
Excellent as always! Great food, great service and food is cooked perfectly! Well done!
The fish - halibut and cod- was great. Good portions, good flavor. Skip the fries. They were worse than home fries you make from frozen. They might have been. Some of mine were actually cold inside.
Today is the second time I have been a patron to Naughty Nellies, and it's the second time I have been moderately disappointed. The first time I dined here, they made the order right away when i called and didn't ask when I wanted the food. It was soggy when I arrived. Today I called ten minutes beforehand as I assumed he wouldn't ask for my timing again. When my call was answered, I was greeted with a quick hello of which I responded to find that he was speaking with someone in the kitchen before tending to me shortly after. I ordered an 2 piece dinner combo upgraded to halibut with a large coleslaw instead of small, and a medium chips not small. I also ordered one order of scallops. I had to repeat myself 3 times for clarity on his part as it seemed he wasn't understanding what I was requesting. I then asked what drinks they had he and said " Ten minutes", no inquiry to how my arrival time, no regard for the question asked. I repeated it and he said ten minutes again and I just said ok, see you shortly. I arrive after 11 minutes, speak to him at the door and he brings the receipt to affirm the order, it was lacking the medium chips as I was expecting. I mentioned it to him, recited my order again and he went sheepish shortly after he realized how he messed up, called for more chips to be dropped and then brought it to me shortly after, all the things I ordered and a small fries on top. Me and my partner walk to a bench shortly down the path in the complex, and open the meal. The scallops and the halibut were pretty good! There was no napkins at all. There was no utensils for the coleslaw, nor was I asked if I would need any. The chips were oil saturated and undercooked. It seemed like they need to change the oil or ensure they use a different fryer for their chips. I'm not sure if they are blanching the potatoes in their recipe, but it seems like there is no hold to the shape of the fries. I was hoping that the last time was just them not serving me fresh food. There was no salt at all in both occasions, today and the first visit. The employee could benefit from some Customer Service drills to improve clarity and when / where to inquire about customer needs and desires. They might also benefit from ensuring they know how to properly cook their fries for whomever was running the kitchen at the time ( or the chef should really look into their fries are so subpar recipe wise) Two times at a business and similar problems happening is enough to make me never go again. It's a bit of a shame as the rest of the food is honestly pretty good, fries aside!
Fish was overcooked and slightly dry and chips were bland and had no salt
It's good. We asked for a Salmon combo take out but they gave cod. It was tasty though. Look forward to having Salmon fish and chips now.
Great prices. Locals love this place.. I can see why. Sometimes there's a long wait because of the popularity.
Ordered take out a few weeks ago. Was good and tasty. Went in again last night for same thing. Drove home to find no tartar sauce. Drive back to get it and not pleased it’s getting cold at this point. Guy says it’s extra. Seriously? The owner just grabs one and gives it to me, which was the saving grace. Why would you sell fish and chips and not tell the customers you charge extra? You make a change like that and just send them away to look in bag at their home? Will go elsewhere.
Regularly get some halibut and chips. Always plenty of chips and good batter on the fish.
