Byrnes Fish and Chips in Liverpool

Cracking fish fingers dusted batterd or breaded lovely job

Been there today. It was awful. The service was painfully slow with a queue out the door. This queue was not caused by the number of customers but by how slow and inefficient the staff are. Its a tiny pokey little shop located at the junction of 2 grim and dimly lit back streets. Be careful where you park your car. If this is one of the best chippies in Liverpool I would hate to see the worst. Ordered haddock and chips and a portion of plaice only to be told we got no plaice.So I said I'll have cod instead of the plaice. Guy said OK. Some 15 minutes later I got to where you pay only to be told THEN that we have no haddock. Why did the guy not tell me when taking my order that they had no haddock either. They had no salmon, no haddock, no plaice all of which is advertised on the wall . I was gobsmacked to hear this . Its like the pub with no beer but this is the chippy with no fish. The cod we both ended up having instead of what we went for was average as were the chips. I can't recommend this place. I can't understand why it has many good reviews you can't be used to much. Avoid this place at all costs. Its not all its cracked up to be. They need to invest in some quality well spoken staff for a start. My god I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Is it any wonder the other shop closed. Very poor effort. I won't be rushing back. Their opening times are ludicrous as well. Avoid for that alone. My earlier review was for the then open Muirhead Ave shop. This review is for the Stuart Rd branch. Both have similar 🐌 service, poor staff, disorganised ordering and average food. It certainly is NOT a good chippy. They don't know what good service is. It starts with having some fish in stock. It's not rocket science to stock what you claim to sell. They are indifferent to wasting people's time by queuing up for twenty minutes only to be told then we don't have what you ordered. Avoid for gods sake and leave it to the deluded locals who think it's a good chippy. It's far from good unfortunately. Edit. Been back. Gave it 6 months. Sadly no improvement. No plaice yet again. Terrible fish n chip shop . Never seem to have what the customer wants. Advice stands. Avoid at all costs. Not good not even average.

The is a really good fish and chips, been a few times now and never had a bad meal. Large cod with nicely done batter, chips or good to always fresh and hardly any bad one in the batch so that good

The fish and chips were excellent the staff really nice lovely chippy been in the same generation for decades batter amazing one of the best in the uk 🇬🇧 highly recommend eaten here many times ....same every time.

Originally seen this on Rate My Takeaway and it’s just fab I never really get a chance to go here the staff are just fab and if your waiting long for your food they have the tv on for you so your not bored. I do recommend the fruit curry and cheese savoury some of the best food I’ve ever eat. If you’re looking for a chippy in Liverpool this is the one. Cant thank them enough for the fantastic fresh food.

Food here is amazing, fresh fish and great curry sauce. Their salmon with rice is great as well, always go out of my way to come here when working at the new everton fc.

The smallest portion of chips I have ever seen. Won't return.

I can be quite critical but this place is outstanding

I've heard so many good things about Byrnes but I've not been for over 40 years. Not disappointed. Great chips, fluffy, not greasy at all. Fish is huge, thin crisp tasty batter. First class.

Always excellent and still the undisputed heavyweight champion chippy of the city! great service and even better fish and chips. Just don't try going on a weekend or after 7pm or with the intention of ordering a Chinese! 😉

Lovely cod and chips , really friendly staff, well worth a visit.

Great (!!) food and nice atmosphere

Located by Breeze Hill. Close to many communities, also easy to find by car. Small chip shop, ordered here by mistake via phone, so when I put the location in the GPS I was surprised 😃 Expensive. £12.50 for a portion of fish and chips and curry. However, tastes great, fresh and real fish! So I would say it is worth the price! Street parking available nearby, so easy to collect the food. That’s all. Give them a chance if you like my photos of the food…

Do yourself a favour you won't be disappointed fish and chips doesn't come any better

Fish was good as recommended. The chips were anaemic

Best fish and chips in town 🍟🐠😋

Haven't been here since before lockdown so decided to go because driving past. Thought the prices had gone through the roof 12.50 for a fish dinner! Think a lot of people think the same because they used to be queuing out the door wasn't when I went.

The best fish n chips for miles. Try a cheese savoury, you can thank me by thumbs up!! 2 words..onion rings!! All packaged brilliant Been goin for years this place very popular an limited opening times...enjoy

Best fish n chips in the North West. An their cheese an onion savouries are something else. The fish finger are great aswell

The finest fish and chips on Merseyside. Have been visiting this little gem for over 25 years and the quality of the food has always been first class. A 4th generation chippy 93 years and still going strong. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Their fish is delivered fresh every day from a supplier from Fleetwood so the fish your eating was only caught the night before

Always a pleasure to come to Byrne's Chippy served with a smile and always great food.

Unbelievable place...quality is outstanding and staff are local hardworking people...love this place One of the best chippys on the planet. Great staff.. Spotless everywhere . Local family run business.. Only negative is they are staunch evertonians ha ha

The BEST fish and chips in Liverpool. Been going there for over 60 years.

Best chippy for miles, been in the family from when it first opened in the 30’s and it shows

We love this fish shop. Found it last year, tucked away in the back streets, and we made sure we went back this year. Every time we stay in Liverpool we will be back to this chippy 😁

Delicious food, friendly service, reasonable prices

Fine, NICE stuff and good food 🥝🥑

Best fish and chips in Liverpool

Been coming here since my high school days. Always good food and the family who run the chippy always good to get along with, just don't ask them about football!!!

Following the enthusiastic recommendations from both word of mouth and online critiques, I was keen to make my visit. The premises were immaculate and orderly. The team was welcoming and appeared happy, and I was pleased to find ample street parking, especially appreciating that it wasn't situated on a main road. Nonetheless, upon ordering, I discovered the absence of hake and plaice from the menu, which I was told was attributed to the season. I hoped to sample haddock, cod, hake, and plaice for comparison, yet this omission did not dampen my spirits. My order comprised haddock, cod, a large portion of chips, a cheese savoury, scampi, a meat pie, tartare sauce, and mushy peas. The peas stood out as exceptional, the tartare sauce was satisfactory, albeit slightly too acidic, and the cod and haddock fillets were enjoyable. However, their batter would have benefited from a tad longer in the fryer. Like the fish, the batter of the cheese savoury was undercooked, failing to hold its contents together when handling, despite that, the savoury being extra tasty, received an "Oh!" from me. Overall, the establishment and staff were commendable, and the food was tasty, although I feel it was rushed out and would have benefitted from a little longer cooking time.

Gluten free Mondays well worth it!

Best chippy in Liverpool, the food is gorgeous and the staff are so friendly and kind.

Cracking Chippy, stopped by this place on the way home after a day out. The fish and chips were really good, beat I had in a long time. Staff were very friendly, gave us a double take when we ordered due to our Manchester accents😀Also recommend Marine Lake, Crosby to go and eat you F&C it’s about 2 miles away, food was still piping hot.

Fish and fishcakes,the smallest fish I have got from Byrnes chips hop,I have been going ther for about forty years, £7 50 and they have reduced the size of the fish Is disgraceful,ihave always loved this chippy,

Wednesday from Aberystwyth food was fantastic can't wait to go again thank you all at byrnes

Very good service and excellent food

Nicest people always polite to all customers been going here for decades it's spotless food great best fish around 👍

Best chippy I know. Really nice staff, the best fish ever and amazing gravy.

As always, delicious, freshly prepared food, served with a smile. No wonder we love to go back. Can't be beaten on taste or service. I haven't sampled the whole menu but all I've tried is great. Fishcakes are the very best - freshly prepared on request. Great old-fashioned delight.

Great food, service and the place is spotless thanks

I had curry and cod The curry was fruity and a nice kick it was a good portion of fish and the batter was crispy why only three stars I'm afraid it was all very greasy 😔

The best fish chips fishcakes in the whole area. I have been going there for 48 years and my dad has been going since it opened and we have never had a bad meal or experience from there. If you've never tried it you don't know what your missing out on. I drive 9 mile to go here but its worth it.

None better in Liverpool, a bit pricey but well worth it.

This is one of the best chip shops anywhere

Everything was great I really recommend the cheese savory it was lovely

Finally found a fish and chips that just dose what you expect to find at a chippy. Liverpool chippys just have to much going on on the menu this spot is perfect went for the cod chips and the savoury cheese and onion. fish was perfect and decent size the chips lovely size and cooked to perfection and that savoury oh my wow delicious all round atmosphere friendly, welcoming food cooked to order the queue was outside the door even in the rain loved it il be back

Perfectly clean, friendly with good prices. The food is excellent. Best in North Liverpool. The food Is never a disappointment! Friendly staff to boot!

Clean food, clean shop and very good customer service. Me and my partner had it last night it was a real treat. The batter is crispy. The fish is fresh. The wait might be 5-10 minutes as you are not the only one there at any given moment, everyone seems to love this place. There is always other people waiting to enjoy byrnes lovely fish too, the line started outside and within a few minutes we was asked what we wanted and served. Given how nice the food is. The price is also good too compared to london prices where we are from. Overall really enjoyed it and will be going back tonight.

The best fish and chips I've had in Liverpool 10 out10 friendly and spotless

Great food and even greater customer service.

Simply, one of the best fish & chip shops in the world, it's been there for four generations - so they have to be doing something right. In the heart of the community, you'll get a friendly welcome from the moment you arrive to order, and then - as it's usually busy - while you wait, you may well find yourself getting caught up in various conversations going on about topical issues. The portions are large and good value for money and tastes great - takeaway only though.

Having visited our daughter at Liverpool university, we came across Byrnes Fish and chip shop..OMG the best cod and chips me and my wife have had ever, batter not thick or greasy, cod thick and meaty and chips to die for!!!, my daughter had cheesie chips and had the cheese and onion pie, better than being by the seaside, great value a must to visit when in liverpool, served by friendly staff too. We definitely will be coming back, worth the 3 1/2 hour drive.

Loin du centre de Liverpool mais vraiment ça vaut la peine d'y aller ! Accueil incroyable, on nous trouve même un client qui nous emmène dans le parc le plus proche pour le pique nique ! Et alors quel délice, poisson super frais cuisson au top ! On recommande +++

Great chippy that serves gluten-free food on Mondays. Staff are nice and the place is really clean. Just wish they had shouted about the gluten-free more as I've been craving fish and chips for ages!

Really nice "hole in the wall" for fish and chips. No seating.

First time recommend by colleague at work love quality food regarding price fresh is best less additives also hard to pick between which holds 1st between here or Parkgate Chippy Wirral.

WOW WOW... SIMPLY THE BEST FISH & CHIPS I'VE HAD FOR AT LEAST 30 YEARS. We have decided that everytime we travel to Liverpool we will come here for our dinner or tea. The food last night was OUTSTANDING. I cannot remember the last time that any chippy has come anywhere near this in terms of quality.

Stopped here for some fish and chips. Top quality taste and service. Food was cooked fresh, not greasy and served in a tidy box. Definitely recommend!

Best fish and chips I’ve tasted in a long time everything cooked fresh to order Highly recommend you visit if in area

Best Fish and Chips I've had for a long time.

The best fish an chips in the world a must visit. Staff very friendly. A proper meal.

One of the best fish and chip shops you will find there is always a que that tells you something

Cheese savoury out of this world

Top quality fish and chips. A little expensive but worth it. Watch opening times as shuts at 7 and no weekends

You have to get Brynes potato scallops, they are out of this world....., soft fluffy potato and an amazing coating, those and salmon fishcakes wow,...........

Always friendly and great food .

Best chippy ever,i regularly drive from the far side of the wirral to go to byrnes,tops with me is the cod fishwich with salad and their home tartar sauce, sooooo scrummy

Good food, Good service. Good Dinning Experiences.

Amazing as always!! Fresh lovely food, fab friendly staff

Probably the only fish and chip shop in liverpool to match yorkshire for thin crispy batter and flakey fish.. Merseyside fish and chips are usually a soggy mass of thick batter and sloppy fish. We'll done byrnes

Tasty, fresh food. Cheese savoury and scraps where amazing

Fish was good but the chips was more like a mash than a chips 🍟

Great food and a very warm welcome with wonderful service.

Best fish & chips on Merseyside

Best fish and chips in Liverpool

Best chippy in Liverpool no doubt. Get your order in before the evening rush though as the queue goes right up the road at peak pretty much every day! Very kind and helpful staff too.

Best chippy for miles great people running it that's a bonus I

Best fish & chips ***** I recommend haddock chips fruity curry peas tartar

Beautiful fish and chips for our tea

Great chippy.....ordered a couple of meals tonight......totally lives upto its reputation......highly recommend it

Avoid. Service is appalling. The main problem with this place is its weird opening times. The last 3 times I've tried to go there it was closed. Just been again today Thursday at 6 pm. It was closed again. But the website says open till 7. It wasn't. If these people can't serve their customers properly by opening at convenient times then frankly they don't deserve your custom. They are wasting your time by having you drive down there only to find the place in darkness despite their website saying its open. Definitely not recommended. Edit. There was a response from the owners saying we are closed over the Christmas period. Why not put this on your website and stop wasting people's time. How about a new years resolution to open at times that people would reasonably expect a chippy to be open. You are not that good. As before my recommendation is to give this place a wide berth. Enjoy your Christmas break. Sorry I never got to to sample the food here as I could never find the place open. Tells you it all. Arrogant management and poor service.

If youndidnt already know this is the best chippy in liverpool. Yea I said what I said

There's no better Fish and Chips than Byrnes Chippy good old Family buisness and what an Amazing Family they are I recommend to people fare and wide If your visiting Liverpool You have to visit Byrnes Chippy 💯

Still the best chippy in Liverpool

Went here back in September. We were here as tourists and read about Byrne’s being the best and they absolutely live up to that. I’ve never liked fish and chips (I’m from the USA) and this blew my mind. It’s been almost four months and I still think about the fish. Not my favorite style of chips, but that’s just personal preference, though that fish was *next level*. The staff were very kind to us and patient with us as we struggled with the Liverpool accent, and we’re very grateful for that. Shoutout to Anna and the neighborhood kids. You all are adorable! <3

Best chippy ever been to five stars

Their chips are cooked in veg oil without any fish or meat and their curry is vegan friendly.

Best chippy in England, been going for years

Legendary and lives up to it. Just wish it opened a little later.

Best fish n chips this side of the pennines

Good but considering it's reputation a bit disappointing

The best fish and chip shop in Liverpool

Food is superb but £11 for a fish dinner ? Come on, it used to be a cheapish meal but thats restaurant prices. Good job it was decent sized portions. Not value for money though at those prices.

Great fish and chips.... They do what they do.... And they are incredibly good at it.

Best place for fish and chips! Their fruit curry is amazing!

Omg best fish and chips ever . And proper mushy peas not ya tinned or frozen jobbies. 👍👍👍👍👍

Probably the best chippy in Liverpool. Try the cheese and onion savoury it's great

Jumbo portions and fresh fish. Made to order but is worth the wait. Its a takeaway place but I would recommend to eat it straightaway and enjoy the fish (haddock in our case) at its best!

We travel from hunts cross to visit Byrne's on a now and again basis. They are easily among the best chips I've experienced in Liverpool. I'd advise getting there around opening time because it does get very busy.

Always qaulity food and service 👌
