“ First time having real New England fish and chips. Everything was a little on the greasy side, but being from the south that’s wasn’t a problem for me. The fish was very tender and the breading was delicious. The clam cakes were very good and the white clam chowder was awesome. I would eat there again ”
“ Finally....made it here when they were open, ha ha! Definitely worth my effort. Fast friendly service, fresh ingredients, nice portions and very tasty. Can't wait to eat here again. Very famous family history for this legendary eatery. ”
“ Worlds Best Fish & Chips are at Ye Olde English Fish & Chips in Woonsocket, Rhode Island! Going back to the 1960's when I was a kid, I Love the Fish & Chips from Ye Olde English Fish & Chips! ”
“ Best seafood platter for the price around. Matter of fact, best seafood portion.sizes for the price around! I got the seafood platter with Huge scallops and shrimp, nice piece of fish, and big beefy fries. The front of the house were super friendly. Our tables were clean and they wiped between customers. We will be back for sure! ”
“ I am a flight attendant who browses around towns and states because I am just so curious. I rented a car on my days off and drove up to Woonsocket to see what it was all about. Of course I pulled into a Market Square parking lot and the first thing I saw was a fish and chips restaurant. I have always loved fish and chips my whole life and had a feeling that this place would be amazing. And it was. I ordered two fish a la carte and they were seriously the BEST two pieces of fish I have had in a really long time. The shut down, reopening, and economy has caused a lot of eateries to cut corners on the quality of food, but not this place. The price was worth it. Huge, thick, meaty pieces of fish. ”
“ I didn’t knock the review down because the food and service is great. I will say that unless you have Facebook, there is no way to know where they will be on any given weekend. A lot of people don’t subscribe to any form of social media and these people are being marginalized. ”
“ Great food great service friendly people even the people that weren't sitting at our table were giving me recommendations of what to try. I had a great time nice family fun. ”
“ First off I know my English fish n chips. You can smell the deliciousness from the large car park at the rear. Queue up, place your order with the friendly counter staff and find a table. Collect your order and tuck in. Obvs the chips cannot be the same as not the same potatoes as in the UK. But they were still pretty good. The fish and its batter is excellent. Large portion. Highly recommend visiting. The fish cake was not what I was expecting so some regional differences there. It was more like pressed fish in batter. That was big too. Lots of regulars and a nice friendly atmosphere. ”
