Blue Lagoon Fish & Chips (Balloch) in West Dunbartonshire

Had fish and chips here. The fish seemed fresh and was quite delicious however chips were a bit disappointing - many were thin and hard.

Popped in for fish and chips. Food was delish and super quick! Was served by jacquie and adnan and they were so friendly. Had such a fab time, thanks guys!!! 🫶🏻

Friendly staff, exceptionally clean and delicious fish& chips. Would highly recommend

We've had fish and chips from here before and they were just okay, not brilliant. On Tuesday we bought from here again but had to bin most of it because the fish was 98% batter. Took it apart and there was almost nothing in the batter. I think they had forgotten to put the fish in and the chips were hard as well. Had to go home and make the tea after all. Never again. What a complete waste of money! Tried this place again today while on a day out. Thought it might have improved after a long time but just the usual, hardly any fish, batter hard, chips awful, service slow so never again!

Overall experience: 3⭐. We are international travelers. We only review restaurants. We have had fish and chips four times in the UK and this time we only ordered fried fish, Two Fish 💰 £9.5. Regarding the food, 2⭐: The freshly fried fish and chips are ok, but the juice is less, but the fish and chips have thorns, which will deduct points. The fish and chips in the other three restaurants have no thorns, so be careful when eating them. The service and atmosphere are average, both 3.5⭐. The advantage is that it closes later. There seems to be an indoor area next door, but it will close earlier. 20240807

Had Haddock, chips & peas takeaway. The photo on here looks absolutely delicious….beautiful crispy food. However the Fish we got looked nothing like it. We got the most greasy flaky fish I’ve ever had. I left quite a lot and my husband who normally eats anything I leave didn’t want it.

Very good gluten free chippy. Staff explained the separate fryer etc when I phoned. Very happy to recommend.

It's not expensive, and it tastes like the price. It's neither good nor bad. It's not really of interest. The fries were not cooked. I had a burger, I had brioche bun with a piece of fried chicken. Nothing more. Not a salad leaf, no onions, no tomatoes. Nothing. The waitress was not pleasant. She made faces whenever someone asked her a question. The decor is nice, but it doesn't make up for the rest.

The most tastiest fish and chips I've ever eaten. A very friendly service and a warm atmosphere. Thank you.

We had lunch here. I had fish and chips, the fish was tasty but the chips were like cardboard. My son had a pizza that seemed to have cut into quarters prior to being cooked so the edges were really crusty. We both agreed the food was 'ok' but we wouldn't choose to go back. However, the price was good, we paid around £22 for 2 meals and a drink.

A day trip to loch Lomond from Glasgow by bike. The fish supper was very tasty. Exactly what we needed as part of our journey. Thank you.

The visit was okay. We enjoyed the fish and chips. However, inside was not that great in terms of seating arrangements. Also, the toilet was not quite clean. The members of the staff were good.

Not a hotel it’s a fish & chip restaurant

Many times we have sat in to eat or taken away as it's our local chip shop but never again will we be back!! The takeaway area was full of midges, I know we're at the height of midge season but common on your serving food! As for the price and quality of the food....£14.60 for 12 chicken nuggets and supposedly half smoked sausage! Your having a laugh now, will not be back for takeaway or to sit in for a meal and will not recommend to others absolute shambles of a place.

After a long day out at Loch Lomond we came into Balloch to look for something to eat and having walked up and down the wee town we didn’t see much that was very appealing apart from this wee chippy. It turned out to be a good choice for us. It did take a good wee while for the food to come, but when it came it was really delicious. Well cooked and really tasty. All 3 of us really enjoyed our meal here. We had quite a selection between us: chips, chicken breast, chicken goujons, scampi, onion rings and gravy - all of it was great. Good service too. Really recommend the place.

I really loved their fish and chips

Bad service and it took 30 minutes to have our food just because we ordered everything in halal

the service is so slow only because we ordered halal, only one server, and the cutlery is cheap.

Had a good range of options on the menu. Pretty decent chips, but the fish was a bit thin and I found a section that had a fair amount of fish bones in it. Service was pretty slow but food was hot and had a decent amount of salt and vinegar on.

The service was really good and quick. But the pattered hamburger did not taste really good and the fries neither - not fried enough and rare in the center. But the fish was tasty and good - so you maybe should just stick with the name of the restaurant ;-) But they have a really nice atmosphere at this place!

Great location, easy parking and a nice walk. Food was a let-down, as was service. Too few staff for too many customers, staff were visibly frazzled and we felt more like an inconvenience than a group of customers. Long wait to be served food, perhaps we’d have been better off taking away and eating at a picnic bench in the park: though I wasn’t impressed quality wise either. I found it expensive for what you get: fish wasn’t great quality and portion wise resembled a flat fish rather than a nice piece of haddock which is what I’d expect for the price.

Ultra generous fish and chips to take away. 1 for 2 is more than enough. Correct prices.

Absolutely delicious.lovely fish and reasonably priced.

Service was nice, but the food wasn't good. The chips tasted more like fish than the fish and everything was extremely greasy and oily..

Absolute rubbish. Over £10 for this disgusting

A great place to stop, the food was delicious and the service was excellent.

First visit tonight since the takeover, and I was most impressed. I had the Fish supper and my Mum had the Scampi supper, both with Pickled onions - absolutely superb!! 😋 The staff were lovely, welcoming and happy to help you in any way - nothing was a bother. The quick service and quality of food was excellent - still very hot and crispy by the time we got to my Mum's house in Drymen, and was very tasty. Will definitely be back. 😁 18/07/24: Back for the first time in a while. Had the same again, and it was scrummy!! Keep up the good work guys. 👍🏼

Great fish with light crispy batter and proper chips served in a good old fashioned booth...great experience for what is quite a busy tourist location.

Four of us ate in. The service was quite slow, about 25mins, but the food was nice and fresh. One fish combo ( battered and breadcrumbs fish), one fish and chips and two sausage suppers. Perhaps the portion of chips could have been better (much less than the take away) but the food was nice and fresh and we all enjoyed it.

Had haggis supper 2 days ago. Chips were like reheats and haggis was luke warm. Only ate half and within 2 hours stomach cramps started. Been unwell for 2 days with food poisoning. Definitely won’t be back !

Absolutely amazing. Fish lover here so I can't not give it 5 stars. Staff very nice. Amazing atmosphere and layout, it was amazing! But kh mother bought a fried pickled onion and it was the smallest thing ever.

The full crunch pizza from Blue Lagoon violates multiple Geneva conventions.

Fish and chips were good. Portions large. Conveniently on the main walk way.

Went to this place today for single fish for lunch .Fish in the glass window looked nice but that was for the restaurant ordered fish as saw the two fish in the display , was told 7 mins for order .One pee,d off customer ,7mins later the smallest thinnest fish served in giant container . I opted for salt and vinegar ( which was sprayed on) could hardly taste condiments .This is the worst £6.95 I ever spent So please avoid these foreign robbers there are better chippies in area avoid avoid spend your money wisley

Best chips ever! Staff were lovely and accommodating, we ordered to take out, but then decided to eat in and this wasn't an issue, the staff were amazing, the food out of this world, perfect chips just how they should be ☺️, definitely worth a visit and there is a lovely park just across the road if you want to take out

Visited twice and no complaints at all. Lovely ambient. Food is delicious. And the staff was really helpful to take care of our halal request.

We've used blue lagoon a lot over the years, but I'm afraid this is the last time my first bite of fish was full of bones and my wife's was the same I complained to the young girl she said I'll tell them and that was the last we heard pwe didn't finish our meals

Me and my partner are very ill with food poisoning and are not happy at all. We are very sick and from a place that is meant to serve safe food we are disappointed. Never going back again. We ate there a few times and no problems occured until sunday evening.

Thought we would try this place..place next door was busy... On holidays and passing through...from Brisbane Aus..place presents very well...crunchy fish and chips..peas..bread and butter....cup of tea..fish too thin and all crumbs..chips undercooked..no bread and butter...server asked if we wanted tartar sauce..said yes..didn't come..asked for curry sauce....didn't come.....very disappointed....do not recommend..

Usually our preferred place to go every time we visit Balloch as the food is great and always fresh. Today we were disappointed. The pizza was burnt, hard to eat and the battered sausage was dried. The chips were okay but portion was small.

Was perfect place for us to try some of the things you hear about in Scottish fish shops when we visited from Wales. I had deep fried battered pizza, chips, cheese and curry sauce with deep-fried battered haggis fingers as a side. Deep fried mars bar for desert. Big portions, I can eat well and was full at the end. Free parking right opposite, friendly service

Ordered gluten free fish and chips. Unfortunately the very thin fish disappeared into the brittle tasteless batter. Think a change of gluten free batter supplier would help. There are some great tasting gf batters being used across Central Scotland. Also ordered normal gagging and chips which was very nice.

The food is always amazing from Blue Lagoon. Ordered for the family, fish, sausage, king rib and chips, cheese and curry sauce. All very tasty. The only down side is that the chips for the sausage supper were missing and considering we live 30 minutes from this chippy this can't be fixed.

Possibly the worst chips cheese and curry iv ever had. Took ages and the curry sauce was cold

Always stop off here and it’s always good, friendly place, clean, dog friendly- two thumbs up 👍 👍

Worst chicken suppers we ever had .couldn't chew or swallow chicken it was sooo dry & chip were reheats £16.50 down the drain .

Very nice staff, excellent service and great food, definitely be back.

Great place for dinner. Top notch food

Having been to many fish and chip restaurants over the years, I've got to say Sorry, but as others have said, the fish size is very small and very thin! Totally over priced. Won't be returning

The fish & chips are halfway okay, the atmosphere is nice. There are no alcoholic drinks.

Great gluten free..dedicated fryer.coeluac friendly

Fantastic fish and chip. The curry OMG Staff so friendly Amazing price Roll on outer next visit

Not bad for a little fast-casual restaurant. We visited in Spring 2023.

A true family friendly, comfy and affordable restaurant. The chippy comes in very generous portions, prepared by renowned chefs from fresh, local ingredients (no doubt). 5 stars, would recommend.

Overpriced chippy the chips ain't the greatest mire likely to snap your teeth on them and the service is slow but the staff are friendly

Great little town near Loch Lomond. Blue Lagoon chippy was lovely. Food tasted really nice and was presented pretty well. This place is bang slap in the middle of the main street right opposite a lovely big park with a play area. Plenty other eating places near by too. Well worth a visit

Just my honest opinion comparing to other fish n chip shops, restaurants. Still ripping of tourists and locals, giving the wrong impression of our loved fish n chips. Blamed their supplier for the thinnest fish and they would look into it and change their fish orders to better thicker fish. Well its still the thinnest fish i have ever had. It really is not a good example of our fish n chips, also overpriced. We would not mind the prices if the fish was better and thicker, but it's not, its the thinnest fish available definitely setting the wrong impression.

Fish was full of bones and very greasy defo not worth £12 odds 😒👎

Absolutely excellent food and service I would recommend anyone looking for food to go here you will not taste much better anywhere else. And you must try there deep fried Mars bar nobody else does it better.

Very nice staff, but fish size has been reduced, batter not crispy. Not value for money now. Sorry we won't be back, after several years this is a pity. Bye!

Fish was great, chips ok. Terrible service though! Took us 30 minutes between receiving our bill until they came back around for our payment

A bit expensive but it's at Loch lomond

Food was borderline edible. I was sold a 6 months out of date bottle of coke.

There was a piece of used chewing gum in my takeaway box. Absolutely disgusting.

Food was lovely Partner.saya fish was exceptional Chips appeared fresh cut and fried Cappacino was lovely and the People working there smiling and lovely Would recommend

Delicious takeaway fish & chips at this establishment Ultra generous portions I recommend !

Prices were shocking £6.95 for single Haggis £9.95 Supper ,no chance ,went next door to Scoops

Braw chippy. Chips were amazing 👏

Great plaice… we had the vegan sausage and chips. They were freshly cooked and the service was great.

Possibly the worst blue lagoon I have tried unfortunately, the pizza crunch didn't have any cheese on it and they were far too salty. The chips were good and were the usual standard. A bit disappointed TBH.

The young waitress was very friendly and we were served very quickly. Price/performance ratio for the food is good, but the food was very lightly seasoned. The restaurant inside looks very good. Big minus point for an EU citizen: Since you are no longer part of the EU, we have to rely on WiFi in your country. But there is no WiFi here

Pretty awesome pizza crunch with chips (battered pizza)

We ordered cheeze chips and the cheeze was just sprinkled from the supermarket directly on to the chips wothout even melting it... pathetic. Only location and stsff behavior is good. Food wise i dont think so we can expect much.

We had cheese and ham pizza deep fried. Mine was done in batter, when I ordered deep fried. We both had no tomato at all on the pizza and it tasted like barbeque ribs. Was the oil needing changed? When I complained, I was told by the waiter " it is what it is". Worse pizza ever. Will not be back.

I went with my fiancée and we ordered a chicken burger and a smoked sausage, a blonde waitress was super friendly and served us well. The food arrived quickly, I'm a chef and I took advantage of the orders. thanks

Avoid asked for large chips and the guy filled the lid side of the box giving me smiliar size as a small portion. I asked the guy before if I could weight his medium box of chips vs my large box as i have scales with me from the gym etc and his was heavier. Feel robbed avoid and it was £4.95 Just to add in I was left so hungry after these chips I have just been down to the lomond chip shop, like 1 min away opposite the train station asked for a small bag of chips which was £3 and I got far more chips and much nicer.

Food was over two hours late and freezing, I called twice about it and was promised it would be there any minute but if it was not I could get a refund, it was cold and I was not given a refund. So, I will not be using them again.

Best fish and chips I've ever had! Brillant atmosphere and good value for money. Amazing for family and friends. 10/10 recommended. THINK FISH&CHIPS THINK BLUE LAGOON

My favourite chippy in Scotland by far

Staff are friendly and service was quick. Bought fish and chips and scampi and chips. The batter is different from what I normally see and not to my particular taste but that’s a personal thing and the reason I dropped it a star. Overall this is a clean, tidy and friendly fish and chip shop.

Ridiculously expensive for the food provided - which is very poor quality; fish and chips - most of which was given to the dog! Chips tasted 'stale' and were hard and unappetising. The fish was ridiculously thin, heavily battered, and greasy. Refused to permit an adult in the party to have a 'small' meal as they're only for under-12s, which is illegal in England/Wales under discrimination laws - any person can order any size meal offered so adults can order kids meals: being an adult doesn't automatically make one a gannett just as being under-12 doesn't mean one must lack a good appetite. Dogs are allowed inside - though there's no notice saying so, unlike at the other local establishments. We were overcharged, And to add insult to injury, we were overcharged for an incorrect order and an extra meal we didn't order after they didn't know what meals they actually offer... The positives: tables were clean and staff provided a bowl of water for the pooch. The negatives: the quality and price of the food, the staff not listening, the overcharging and incorrect refund, the discrimination. Would not return.

Starting off, i gotta be fair and give extra stars for the halal, glutenfree and vegan options. Also the waitress was very friendly. But now i really didnt enjoy the Fish, it reminded me of my school cantine days. The chips felt like a piece of fur on the tongue, and they smelled fishy, just like if they were from the same pan as the fish. The sauce options were nice i liked them. And that wasnt as bad, but i would recommend putting the pickled mussels in a tiny bowl, instead of the jar from the next Sainsbury. And the anti copyright music is very annoying, would prefer having no music.

Chips were under-cooked, scampi was the only nice thing, prices were a bit expensive for portion size.

Poor quality. Real shame, hopefully it was just a one off. Really greasy.

Delicious fish and chips and my first deep fat fried mars bar. Its was delicious, not what i expected. Definitely have it again.

Good gluten-free fish and chips

Great location Good food Great portions ordered fish and chips and burgers and chips was very nice. Will return

Usually just buy from counter which food is spot on , took kids in for chips and cheese and was disappointed with the portion size.

My fav chippy to visit when I go to the beach with my kids. Also has Halal food options. Can't go wrong.

Great place , 1st time here and will definitely be back

Service was really good, however I ordered the fish tea with two fish and mushy peas, one battered fish and the other done in breadcrumbs. Both fish were so thin, and it felt like just eating batter. I would say it's really not representing our fish n chips in any good light to all the tourists from afar and locals that the chippy gets, it really should have been better than what it was. Even the ketchup was the cheapest of the sauces. It's Disappointing as we do cherish our fish n chips.

People, bring your appetites! I had the "fish tea", with two pieces of fish, and added mushy peas. It was a lot! It was also superbly good. The only very minor negative was the wait between my drink arriving & the food. It was half drunk & quite cool by the time the food appeared. Apart from that everything was excellent 👍🏼😋 & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend 🍽 The other person is right too, the plastic tea mug was a little odd 🤔

Only got one thing to say frozen fish 🤮. Bouffin

Had the worst experience ever in fish and chips. 😪 👎

Lovely clean fish and chip shop, first class service, food freshly cooked, fish so fresh it was crumbling on the plate. I'll be back in a few weeks.

Very clean and beautiful restaurant, we ate fish and chips typical of the area, everything was very good and the waitress was very kind and always smiling, good! I recommend you eat here

Always a good restaurant, and food excellent

Exactly what we needed on a cold winter evening

Beautiful place near loch lomond, we order gluten free batter fish it’s soooo delicious, light, and crispy. The chips come fresh, the mac and cheese also tasty. The place is so clean and the service is good 👍🏻

Beautiful surroundings, bright and clean.The service was 1st class, lovely lady with a helpful cheerful attitude. The fish and chips were so tasty, crispy batter and pure white fish, delicious mushy peas and chips. Lovely coffee too. We will be back 😀
