Lovely fish and chips at avery reasonable price. Big portions. The wait of 40 minutes is a bit of a drawback though considering there were only three customers in front of me. This was at teatime though so maybe the wait wouldn’t be as long later.

Have to say I love this chippy, the fish and chips are always freshly cooked and without a doubt the best in town, certainly the cheapest. Only downside is you may have to wait a while 30-40mins on average.

Well, as an Aussie this was a cultural experience bar none , this Suburban Fish Shop is a reminder of how fantastic Scottish fish suppers should be . Busy and full, the family take your order and you wait for perfection sensational fish and terrific chips , salt and sauce , Scottish superfood large portion £7.40 ! Wow that’s amazing. Thank you you made a old man very happy.

Went for a fish supper on a Sunday night. Fish was good, decent price for a chippy, the batter was a bit oily. However, this was fine because the chips were the best I've tasted in a very long time. Armando hand cuts the chips, and it is telling! The chips must have been either double or triple cooked - just like how grandma used to make in the days of the old chip pans. Fantastic!

This has honestly been one of the friendliest shops I have ever been in. Great food. I was recommended this chip shop from a fellow lorry driver, and I was not disappointed. As a lorry driver we are not always welcome in a lot of places (often looked down on). The lovely lady that served me was soooo kind to me, and her thoughtfulness meant more to me than she will ever know. Special people, thank you x

I've been going to this chippy for over 3 years now and everything I've ever gotten has been dynamite to be honest. I've tried quite a few of the items on the menu, fish which is soft inside crisp batter, steak pie that is flaky on top and soft on bottom, all of the puddings which are flavourful, spicy if you want it and filling, pizza crunch again with lovely crispy batter and every item has been as good as I have ever gotten from anywhere. In particular I'd like to mention the onion rings. They're so big it's like eating one of the rings of Saturn so are probably one of my favourite things from there. Sometimes you can be waiting 5 or 10 minutes but I've noticed that the reason for this is because they cook everything from fresh when you order it. Well worth the extra few minutes in my opinion because whatever you order is served really hot and just out the frier. As someone who chooses Guinness as his drink of choice. I'm happy to wait a minute to get the extra quality. The prices are also excellent. I don't want to say this incase they put the prices up but if they charged more and I'd still happily get my chippy here because it'd still be a better meal for cheaper than the other chippys in the area.

Called up to ask if I could place and order for collection. The man on the phone was very rude to me when I asked to get everything on my meal. He advised me that this would be done when I came to collect. He then shouted at me to hurry up as he there was a queue! I was so shocked to be spoken to like this. If pre-orders are an issue then they shouldn't offer it as service. All he needed to say was 'sorry, unfortunately we don't offer this service' at peak times' and that would have been fine! Not a great customer experience at all and the man clearly has anger management issues. Don't take it out on your customers - its the first rule of customer service. Gutted as a great chippy, just no need for speaking to anyone like that so reluctant to go back now 😢

Was recommended Armandos by a few different people. I have to say it’s one of the best if not the best chip shop I’ve been to. We both had a fish supper, it was awesome, Also cause we’re greedy tried the Stornaway black pudding which was delicious. Needless to say we’ll be back and I recommend anyone that’s in the area or if u fancy a wee trip like we did to head here!!!

Hidden Gem, best chippy in town. I'll keep it short. We live 5 minutes from one of the town's busiest chippies but we travel across town to go to Armando's instead, it's that good. Fish is beautifully cooked, two portions in a supper which is massive and the price is incredible for the portion size. The only chippy I know of that also serves Stornoway Black Pudding, and that is also deliciously cooked and remarkably well priced. Only take cash so have some change with you, and be prepared to wait for freshly cooked chips and fish when it's quiet. It's soooo worth it!!!!

Cannot recommend Armandos highly enough. Fish was so tasty with a crispy batter and came with 2 fish. The chips were freshly cooked when you ordered. The services was amazing. So friendly with a real family feel to it. Cannot wait to go back.

The staff were very friendly and offered a large menu. I had a Stornoway Black Pudding something that is not on the normal fish bars menu. It was delicious and hot,

Must be the best in Fife. If not the whole of Scotland. Clean and staff are friendly. Not open on Mondays.. this might have changed since my visit.

We use Armando's if we are having a chip supper, sometimes you may have to wait for your order as it can be quite busy sign of a good chip shop, prices are reasonable good service and always made to feel welcome. Give it a try.

Just had fish and chips tonight, was so looking forward to this high calorie treat and was utterly disappointed. Chips were like re-heats and fish wasn't any better. My taste buds obviously differ from others who have raved about this fish bar. Will not be returning!

Visiting family in Dunfermline from NY. First time trying Armando’s Fish Bar and it is excellent. Fresh haddock & chips - crispy but not overdone. HUGE line on a Friday night so go early. Worth the 30 min wait. Went back on Wednesday and no line at 6:30pm. Excellent food and value. Must go!

Fish is always cooked fresh to order and its worth the wait. Generous portions and tasty. It can be busy at peak times.

Don't have as many as we used to, but wife wanted a battered smoked sausage and lashings of brown sauce.Huge range of options and sides, drinks and snacks including curry sauce, mushy peas and rolls. Chips are always excellent and properly cooked. I had a steak pie, which was also good.Love this chip pie.

Tengo que decir que la comida es bastante buena en este lugar. Patatas 100% bueno.Sin embargo, el personal puede venir a través como miserable a veces. He oído hablar de servicio con una sonrisa?Los tiempos de espera pueden ser ridículo para algo tan simple como una bolsa de patatas fritas.¿Por qué no sólo servir a la persona, ellos en su camino más que construir una cola enorme, lo que a la hora de pone a la gente ya que le dan la "entrar en otro lugar".Sin duda podría repasa los modales un poco más. He visto innumerables veces con modales negativo, pero en decir que el propietario puede encontrar a menudo reír/bromas con los clientes...Sin duda a suertes en términos de servicio. En la mayoría muy lento. Tiendas chip St Andrews o Anstruther tienen motivo de ser que lento... cocinan todo fresco. Pero no tanto.La comida es buena en la mayoría.3/5

It is always busy any time I have been there. The fish supper is the business. What else would you expect from an Italian run chip shop. The service is excellent. You must visit.

Been coming here since I was a little girl in the 80's, decor still the same but it doesn't matter cause the food is always fab. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, good portion sizes. Queues say it all. Won't go anywhere else.

La comida es fresco mientras espera, muy sabrosa y una buena relación calidad-precio. Siempre hay enormes colas de regresar los clientes. Está en la calle principal de Halbeath justo a lo largo del Harvester Restaurante, he notado que algunas personas se olvide que está allí porque está escondido :) Definitivamente lo recomiendo!

We went as a group of 4 was swiftly greeted and our coats taken, taken to our table and asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. We ordered our starters and received them very promptly within 7 minutes i got the tuna tartare and it was easily the best thing we got all night 10/10. We then went on to order our mains. I got the steamed halibut it was very delicious a tiny bit rich for my taste so i give it a 9/10. Then onto dessert i ordered the tiramisu i get tiramisu whenever i see it on a menu and unfortunately it was probably the worst one i have ever tried but that is my personal taste as i am not a big fan of rich strong chocolate flavours and it was immensely rich 2/10. A great experience the atmosphere is amazing, the staff are very professional and friendly at the same tim. Will definitely be back soon. 😊

My wife and I love our food. Seriously. And this restaurant 100% delivers. Just amazing. The staff were utterly lovely. And the food was stunning. The seaweed coated cod was immense but the star of the show was the blue cheese pear and baklava desert. Just wonderful. Thank you for such a beautiful Fife seafood and experience. Go. You won’t regret it.

Used to great service. Recently very bad. Delivery took almost 1 hour 30 mins. No update or call to advise of delays. The food was cold, the boxes were squished. Shop could not be bothered when we called and as for delivery driver, he Couldn't care less. Had to microwave the food. Defeats the purpose.
