Abbey Friar in Liverpool

It’s gone downhill, used to be a lot better. Manners aren’t great in there either anymore, quite pushy & rude. Only go there as a last resort.

Can be a little bit pricey but you get what you pay for.They do the best savoury cakes in south Liverpool. Chili beef ( crispy) and sweet and sour chicken ( crispy ) are amazing. 1 star for. Atmosphere because it's a chippy not a pub or club. If you want atmosphere go to Cooper's for the karaoke.

Got chicken chow main, was so dry I couldn't eat it chicken was so black i thought it was mushrooms, also had egg fried rice which was tasteless, best thing was the chips which where hot, worse meal we have had from a chippy, won't be back.

Ordered a Szechuan meal, I have had one from here before and it has been good… this time the cook has either slipped with the chillies or is in a bad mood… the lot went into the bin

Blag hawaiian burger only came with pineapple, other chippies do pineapple ham and cheese (like pizza topping) imagine getting a hawaiian pizza with just pineapple so wrong and chips where reheated very dry

Just recently chips have been awful. Re - heated and dried up. So disappointed. Used to be the best around. I'll give them one more try and then go elsewhere!

Order for my family regularly and always 100% first class service, fast delivery and great food.

Great place for food, always hot abd always tasty, a wide variety to choose from too, highly recommend you try this place out.

Here they charge £9 for fish and chips but give what is just a child's portion in a single small polystyrene tray. Last time I thought it was just a mistake and let it slip but they did it again. Go elsewhere for double or triple what they give you here.

Great food at great prices, lovely staff!

We have ordered from here before and the food was great but this time when we called up we got told that we lived over there delivery range of 4 miles even though we live about 2.5 miles away, the woman on the phone was being quite iffy with us and i wont be ordering from here again

Ordered 2 fish 1 large chips. Fish nice and white, batter ok. Chips absolutely awful, burnt reheats. Went in the bin. Waste of money that seems to be the new norm. No pride in what they are serving paying customers.

Ordered salt and pepper chicken , chicken and char sui soup, and a sausage dinner ,first of all the salt and pepper chicken was incredibly salty not like other chippies which is balanced the chicken and char sui noodle soup was bland not much meat liquid in it was like dish water , sausage dinner chips looked like warm ups sausage was cheap and tasteless chips not nice gravy was thick and gelatinous we phoned and complained and a lady just said we don't do refunds I'll have a word with the chef rude that not going there again lesson learned .

Good fish and chips, excellent portion size

Got sausage and chips curry peas an steak pie - sausage was tasteless an very low quality and wasn’t worth the price - pie dinner was bland pie was warm and chips were under cooked and hard - curry sauce had no flavour - horrible didn’t eat and slow service terrible all round very disappointed

This place has become absolutely shocking. The way it has gone downhill over the last 12 months is astounding. Not only has the food and service got a lot worse they also charge more if you order on Uber eats so be very careful if you are making the mistake of ordering as you be even further ripped off if doing it through Uber. The girl who answers the phone, Danielle or Daniella (I was told her name by another member of staff - Nikki I think) is incredibly rude and lies. She was so rude that I recorded the conversation and also then caught her lying and telling the staff behind her that I had hung up, before then, hanging up on me. This was the second time they had hung the phone up mid conversation as on the first call I was so unhappy that I was trying to find out the name of the owner, which no one actually seemed to know, the only information I was given was, “i think his name is Michael, but he’s in Cyprus and he’s never here”. So I asked for a manager. I was told there are no managers working (this was a Saturday night, one of their busiest nights, so this didn’t make sense), I might be able to speak to a guy called Peter who might be in tomorrow. If there is no manager working when you are your busiest it explains why the place is in absolute chaos. The first call took 17 minutes as they couldn’t find the order they had got wrong when they sent it, even after giving them the my name and order number they still couldn’t find it until I gave them the exact time it was placed. The attitude of the people working, and the fact they just hang up the phone mid conversation shows that they know that they are in the wrong but genuinely don’t care and can’t give an answer, so they run away. I was trying to tell the girl (Danielle) on the second call, that I was recording the call but all she did was continually speak and shout over me to the point I couldn’t get chance to speak before she then slammed the phone down. I had to resort to recording it as she was already saying she wasn’t rude and that the rest of staff that were standing by her would back her up, so I felt it was the only way to prove how bad it was so I can send it/play it for the owner or manager when I go into the shop for a full refund. Honestly there are so much better places to eat than this in the area including the Chung Ku, which is excellent, and I had only resorted to going back here since the last bad experience last year as my 82 yo mother, who is ill had asked me to get her a Chinese and unfortunately the Chung ku don’t deliver. My mother struggles with solid food and the soup I ordered for her didn’t even turn up and the rest of the food was soggy and of appalling quality. I started using the abbey friar over 25 years ago and it used to be a fantastic place but my God it has declined shockingly and judging by the attitude of the staff I experienced today, it’s no surprise at all. I have been reading the other reviews on here and it’s clear that a lot of old customers have seen the same decline that I have. Please don’t waste your money or ruin your evening by making the mistake of ordering here. I will never that mistake again and the only time I will go back in is to play the recording and prove how rude Danielle is and that the recording proves she also lies.

I ordered small fish and chips at lunchtime. It was made fresh to order and tasted great. Recommended!

One of the best takeaways. Never had a single meal that wasnt superb. Staff are always friendly and service is fast.

Char Siu fried rise excellent......👌

Was gonna order bit the prices 9.20 for special fried rice is more than sit down restaraunts

Yet again get home to food missing and the staff are rude unhelpful and forgetful and the price you pay food not the best ,gone down this place

Use to love this chippy but it has steadily gone downhill over the last year or so. Last night ordered 2 kebabs and a portion of chips. Over £20 for cold, soggy chips which I think were leftover from lunchtime as very dark brown. Kebab meat was tough and I don’t know what the accompanying sauce was (we asked for garlic mayo but it were served watery curdled liquid). Would not recommend and won’t be returning.

Ordered off uber eats Terrible quality tasted awful and tiny portions will not order again

Ordered fish and chips delivered. Batter wasn't crispy at all and whole meal was served in a polystyrene box rather than being wrapped in paper - hate it when this happens as feel like I've been cheated out of chips.

One of the worst mixed kebabs ive ever had. Overcooked, dry and salty. A real shame as this place was great years ago, but gone way downhill now

Took a while to get delivered, but the chips, sausage, red barbecue sauce and salt and pepper Sui mais were spot on 👌

Placed an order on line then realised it was the wrong location and would be too far away to get to and collect the order. I rang the takeaway within 5 minutes of placing the order...nothing special just 2 x fish and chips, and was told over the phone it was too late to cancel the order. Absolutely shocking customer service in my opinion. It's a shame there isn't minus star ratings.

Probably the driest chicken kebabs in the world and bad guts afterwards. Stay clear. Its gone down.

I arrived at the Abbey with fish n chips in mind. A busy period meant no fish on display. Not a problem because in about 7/8 minutes I had the freshest, crispy fried fish along with a generous portion of chips. I can honestly say I have never had a better piece of chip shop fish. Lovingly cooked to perfection. I have been twice since and ordered the same thing and the standard was equally as good. The difference is, they always use fresh fish, not frozen! And there’s also a passion from the owners to produce high quality food.

Not sure if the person who takes the orders knows you’re meant to withhold your number when you’re prank calling people but he gets really rude when you call him back to ask why.

Friendly and helpful staff, CARD PAYMENTS ONLY but you can order and pay on their website, great range of dishes available.

Never going back here again. 2 to many pure disappointments. Sorry but not a good take away in any way .

Simply the best fish and chips shop in the area.

Ordered a kebab and asked if they could put tahini sauce on kebab instead of the pots they send out. So got my kebab with no tahini sauce or pots, I'm fuming. won't be going there again.

Nice large meal curry special with chips but meat was grisly and tough. Otherwise it would have got more stars.

Lovely people, greate fish, chips, sausages and price. Fast service and everything was fresh.

Best chippy in the world, egg fried rice, sweet and sour salt and pepper chips everything’s really good and affordable unfortunately don’t accept card but you can order online while you are there so not too bad. Would recommend to everyone.

Best fish and chips I've tasted.

i got the salt and pepper chips and it was cold as well as being over seasoned. it was a strong taste of black pepper which was a bit disappointing and chips were wet because there was a pool of oil at the bottom of the box. chicken balls were good though as per usual.

Good food, efficient cheerful staff

Best chippy I've ever been to, at the very least best chippy in Liverpool, great service, short waiting time, they do every takeaway you can think of and all of it is delicious. Visited many times and will continue to.

Just bought fish chips and mushy peas unfortunately the chips were not quite done. Never had a problem before

Gorgeous! We normally go to So’s on Pilch Lane which is one of the best chippy’s around but this was equally as good and will return

Stone cold food delivered late by Ubereats. Food was inedible and had to be binned. Ubereats do not respond and will not give a refund. Used this place for over 17 yrs....never again.

I personally believe that this is the best chippy in Liverpool. I have been going to this place for a very long time. I've moved 4 times in that period and still choose this as our treat. The grill here is amazing. Always high quality ingredients cooked well. Highly recommended is in understatement!

Fantastic food and very good customer service

Best take away by mine (Gateacre, Childwall). Big portions as well 👍

Love this place, great food and brilliant staff, always very friendly....best grill kebabs, on a par with a good Turkish 👍

The best chips and fish in Liverpool.

They tried to tell me the chips was fresh. And not warm ups. They looked like rubber and tasted like rubber. I Walked out. Very disappointed. Will never go back.

Best fish and chips in Liverpool.

Fast service, first time I have ordered from here, it arrived hot, it was the best tasting takeaway delivery I have had, lovely, will definitely order.from here again

Fantastic food, great range. Friendly staff

Chicken was raw in meal, will never return to this place really gone down hill 🤮

I was sent the wrong meal i rang the restaurant within minutes they admitted sending me the wrong food and was told uber eats would refund but it never happened so I called the next day and they actually asked me to dig it out off the wheelie bin from the day before and return it... seriously you can not ask your customers to climb into a bin to dig out food to bring into your takeaway this is wrong on so many levels it's shockingn

The nicest chippy in Liverpool, whenever it’s treat night I always go to Uber Eats and order from here. The food is the die for, no matter what food or meal we get. My favourite has to be the curry from here though! The flavour is unreal and makes my mouth water, chips are always cooked to perfection and always fresh/piping hot. The fish has the perfect amount of batter to fish ratio and is always piping hot and delicious with the crispy batter. It’s making my mouth water from just writing this review. Everything from here is cooked perfect and has flavours that are mouthwatering.

Ordered sweet & sour chicken.....very disappointed.....far too tangy and gooey...more the colour of tomato sauce... Not the light, mouthwatering sweet sauce it used to be......😕

Avoid was sick for days horrible horrible place

One of the best places to try fish and chips! Thanks for the kindness

Great food, sometimes a long wait because it's very popular

Over expensive! It's nice but price is to high

Probably the best takeaway I've ever had. The fish is second to none. The staff are very hard working, friendly and reliable. I hope this place never closes.

The best fish and chips in Liverpool. Best quality fish as other shops have swapped Cod and Haddock for cheap fish with watery texture. But here you can be assured that you will get 100%Cod or Haddock. Big thank you to staff. Natalia

Busy this holiday weekend - but easy to book online for either pick up or delivery - we ordered two lots for our dear sister in law and favourite niece as we couldnt be together this holiday time, Everything ready on time and available for my pick up. Food was excellent and staff were a delight despite being ever so busy

Great food. More than just a chippy. Good food lovely staff. Been going to it for years.

Boss. Love the salt and pepper chips. One of life's highlights.

Make a great chicken sweet and sour with generous portions. Efficient and always get big orders right every time.

The fish and chips has always been made to a high standard but recently the Chinese meals have been bland and overcooked. This has been the case ever since a new chef was hired.

Good most thing are done very well.

It's convenient because it's close to home, but the food is hit and miss. I've really looked forward to chippy dinners only to find orders have been wrong, or missing items. Ok if you're starving hungry and there's nowhere else open!

Waited ages for our order, they definitely forgot about us. When we did eventually get it the order was wrong and the food was probably the worst Chinese take away we have ever had. Definitely won't be going back.

Joke of a Chinese first time ive been after reading the reviews on Google ordered 2 crispy chilli beef with boiled rice got home. Opened the first plastic carton oh no my sauce must of leaked but couldn't see any leakage so i opened the other carton same.again no sauce absolute joke dont waste your cash here

Best Fish and Chips in Liverpool. I am fat and greedy and trust me it is the best for kebabs, Chinese, and just fish and chips.

Great fish and chips freshly fried, ask to be wrapped up, not in a box and twice fry the chips lovely.

I don't know what it is but they always seem to get my order wrong. Sorry guys but I won't be coming back as this is the 4th time in as many months that this has happened.

Beautifully appointed friendly staff and a great breakfast, if a little on the pricey side. Great shop attached worth a visit in itself

Good price. Excellent vegetable kebabs. Food generally good quality, wholesome portions.

Food-not very good, staff really bad at getting your order correct and when you complain they do nothing to make it right just tell you you are in the wrong not them. Will not be returning

Would have given no stars if I could because every time I go to this place they get my order wrong. Got home with food only to find they have not given me my fishcake which I definitely ordered. Phoned them to be told yet again you didn't order a fishcake. As I do not drive and a distance away it is to far to return. They also gave me 2 kebabs when I only ordered 1. So I have just thrown £11 worth of food in the bin. Annoyed is an understatement staff should pay more attention to customers orders that are in the chippy instead of concentrating on phone orders

By far away the worst chips..... very very greasy

If I could give it zero stars I would...Most disgusting food I’ve ever tasted the food looked like was cooked two weeks ago I phoned up to complain and they said come back and we will give you a fresh one so I told them well they should have been fresh from the start....

ABBEY FRIAR MENU Have tried every type of dish and found: Fish n chips - 5 star Kebabs (Greek Food) - 5 star Chinese food - Crispy chilli beef ♡ Beef with green peppers in black bean sauce ♡ Szechuan Chicken ♡ Fried Rice ♡ The portions are generous and good value for money. The best chippy in Liverpool.

Good local chippy with Chinese menu, burger & kebab grill. Chip portions are a bit on the small side.

The meals were delicious before but now the meals Absolutely rubbish I’m not going back anymore

Does anybody feel sick after the foods or drinks? Telling you the truth! Check the date before your drinks, if there no date that mean out of date they just wiped off. The shop are using the cheapest, out of dates and bad ingredients to make foods to customers, that’s there are quite big portions!! in the front keeping nice and clean but in the back... !!!you got to think before get any foods.

Generally consistently good quality food. Sometimes chips and salt n pepper chips vary in terms of crispness or spices, but always are edible.

Very busy lots of customers which in reflects the quality of the food which is excellent quality

The best chip shop in childwall

Best fish and chips around - not only us think so!

Best kebab is south liverpool! fish and chips and Chinese meals are spot on too! Always very busy. They take phone orders for you to collect too, saving time.

Very nice food just a pity that the curry isn't nice.

Great fish and chips and other meals

Always great service, great quality food, good portions and not a rip off either. Some highlights for me, the sui mais, kebabs and curry are right up there for me. A proper community chippy with great staff and food.

Always busy try the food and you will see why

Always busy. Good food for an occasional treat.

Excellent food reasonably priced. Although it's mostly very busy the staff ensure you get served without an excessive wait. I've made it my 'local' chippy and Chinese now!

As a treat now and then, it's fabulous. Local's know its outstanding.My son likes the burgers!

Best Chippy in Liverpool. Girls are great and always a laugh.

Recently moved to the area and visited the local take away, WOW impressed is an understatement. Fish and chips to die for and Chinese meal was amazing!

Love it! Lovely food, lovely staff! Fish and chips are amazing! 👍🏻 x I eat here every week and have only positive things to say x haters gonna hate but just ignore them! X
