Chequers Riverside in Coleraine

Called tonight on the way home from Portrush. We got fish and chips and goujons and chips, with the shop being super busy we recieved our food promptly. Service was excellent. Will definitely call again.

After a great day in Portrush I recommended a chippie tea from Chequers on the way home. Both my daughter and granddaughter ordered chicken goujons, chip and dip. My grandsons had burger and chips and I ordered individual chip portions for them. I was so embarrassed at my recommendation when the chicken goujon meal boxes were opened. My daughter had 4 goujons with 13 small chips and my granddaughter had 4 goujons and 12 small chips. At £10.75 per meal I was upset. I tried on 4 different occasions tonight to ring and ask about this, but despite holding on the phone for a lengthy time it was never answered. Needless to say I will not be recommending Chequers ever again and this was a big disappointment to round off what had until then been a brilliant day out.

Went here after a day out on the north coast. I got a burger and chips, my partner sausage supper with gravy and we also got a portion of chicken nuggets to share. The person who served us was just okay, didn't ask how I wanted the burger dressed, salt and vinegar, nothing like that. You know the usual chip shop questions. She was just okay and didn't seem overly bothered or happy to be there I assumed the burger comes dressed unless otherwise specified. I was wrong. It came totally naked. I couldn't eat it like this so it went to the dog. She seemed to like itzm, but considering she spends most of the time licking herself it's not exactly a high bar for culinary excellence. The chicken nuggets were heavily processed and very bland. Better stick to chicken dippers in your own oven or the McDonald's next door. They went to the dog as well. She wasn't actually that keen on them, and she usually goes crazy for chicken. The sausages were nice, my partner enjoyed them and the gravy was tasty, had a taste myself and it was pretty good For a chippy they were probably some of the worst chips I've had since I lived in England. Lots of small hard chips and few nice chunky ones. Honestly the looked like they had spent half their life being reheated and under the lamp. I would not recommend and would actively avoid this place. NI has some amazing chippers but this dive is amongst the worst.

Ordered on food hub. Got chips peas and gravy instead of chips peas and curry. Chicken goujons were overcooked and one even had no chicken in it. Total rubbish. Avoid!

The girl working today at lunchtime today was more interested in having a chat with a customer than cooking food, left me late to return to work.. won't return...

Great fish and chip shop with large portions and freshly prepared. We'd love to come back.

Visited today with my family was so impressed lovely cosy sit in chippy, food was beautiful an really good portions, lovely warm and clean staff was excellent from the young lad on counter that took our order to the young lady that gave our food, had a question and another lady was lovely at the till, will definitely be back thanks 😊

The food was one and a half hours late, the food was so cold that the chips didn't look like they ever seen the pan, the driver just dumped the food in my arms and ran didn't say why it was so late or why the food was not able to be ate. Tried to ring after and the phone just rang and rang, will never be back

Fish was nice, but too small. Chips so oily, can't eat at all, oil just leaking...discusting

We were looking for fast food so we thought we would give this place a try. I ordered the veggie burger and fries. The burger was very good and I was pleased I could get one. The fries were doused in butter, very unhealthy, I think because they were garlic fries, but tadted ok. My husband had fish and chips and he said it was terrible, too greasy, and he never wanted to return. The counter person was very helpful and answered all of our questions and worked hard to get our order to us quickly. We were thankful for the bathroom, but it was definitely a janitor closet / bathroom so not very glamorous at all.

Waited 35 minutes on my order. 2 items missing when I eventually received it and food was cold !

Bought a large chip and cheese, got it, ate alot of it, very nice. But there was a burger bun at the bottom? And the same with the rest of my family. Very good chips but random burger bun at the bottom of it

I had fish & chips and onion rings, and the taste was really good. The fish fillets were crispy and the onion rings were nice and tender. Unfortunately you had to buy the ketchup separately, which was a bit disappointing. However, the atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant; the decor was cozy and inviting. Overall, a good experience, even if the additional ketchup purchase spoiled the overall impression a little.

Genuinely awful food. The burgers were cold and the toppings were all over the inside of the container, the onion rings were dripping in grease and the chips were black, rock hard and cold. Even the dog wouldn't eat them. The whole lot went in the bin. I've given 3 stars for service because the food was delivered 20 minutes ahead of the estimated time.

Ordered a cheeseburger and a plain Hamburger with no cheese. Got the order home and both were cheeseburgers 😞 Very dissapointing that staff did not listen to the order correctly.

Just a sit in chippy but sit in orders are just served in take out paper etc

No better place around the triangle area. Perfect every time any day of the week.

Was here on Sunday after coming from the jet centre and food especially the chips were lovely. Nice to be able to sit inside a chippy to eat with toilets available especially with the kids. The sit in area is lovely also

Food was just average, not the best nor the worst I've had, the onion rion ring was not very crispy just soaked in oil. Atmosphere very quiet but could because was only about 15.00 in the afternoon and not main trade time for this fish and chips shop. Service was below par the girl never looked happy from start to finish don't really think this is the job for her! And certainly wont win any awards for pleasantry.

Where do we even begin?!…. Firstly my girlfriend and I rang this establishment and it continued to ring with no answer? Secondly when we were greeted by the lady at the counter, as we were looking at the menu, she might as well of pressured us to tell her what we wanted (likely because she wanted back to cleaning to go home) Thirdly when we got our food, there was no dips And finally when I went back to get our dips, I was IGNORED for a good 5 minutes before anyone came to me. The 2 ladies working looked at me, then continued to clean…. Felt like a hindrance to be perfectly honest. Food was nice but couldn’t rate the service at all

5 quid for a burger McDonald's would be better value

Nice food pleasant staff. Cosy and warm inside

Great place for quick bite Food was great Only one problem I had they use wooden knifes and folks witch I have a phobia of lol

I've never had a bad meal from here.

I have been gluten-free for a long time and the gluten-free food is really good and one of the only places that does it well.

Came here for the gluten free fish n chips. Family loved them. I thought the regular was a bit oily. Tasted good

Food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Great place for Gluten free food.

Muy rico, buena cantidad, algo aceitoso, pero lo normal.

Staff very friendly food amazing an good size portions

One of the nicest sit-in chippys I've been in. Great food, clean restaurant and modern.

Got home to find my order was wrong. Drove back and whilst they replaced it, at no point did anyone apologise. A simple "sorry" would have been appreciated, its basic customer service and good manners!

Food was excellent, the chicken buger was brilliant and staff was very helpful

Very nice. Tired the new salt and chilli chicken fillet burger it was lovely

Ate here recently and surprised about the large portion size. This is not a restaurant but there is plenty of space and tables to sit in and eat. Meal was plentiful and very tasty, will definitely return. Only downside is navigating past the McDonald's que which seems endless at time. Maybe worth parking somewhere else and walking over.

Absolutely dreadful. Food was completely awful. Couldn't eat it. Should have known better. We were the only customers there at tea time.

Tuesday 1st August 7:30pm; Bap of Burger fell apart & was unsure of sauce on burger so went up to query, was greeted by a very rude young FOH lady who has little to no people skills coming up to myself in such an aggressive tone, Shouldn’t be allowed to work with people, Never mind hospitality, never seen anything like it, with multiple food safety violations (makeup nails & lashes) & seen clearly horse playing and heard LAUGHING about my complaint in the back? thankfully the cook in the back was brilliant and had clearly worked with people before & was happy to replace to burger and had the new one with us within 5 minutes and it was delicious! Such a shame I will not be returning all due to this young lady working the front of house, after the cook in the back was so helpful and pleasant.

Speedy, very good customer service. Excellent fish and chips

Rude server, uninterested, no hello, no thank you, burger didn't come as specified, rolled eyes when I asked to correct, dirty tables and bin over flowing....won't be back!!!!

I spilt my drink and they were straight over with a new one free of charge, really lovely staff and the best onion rings I've ever had!

Wow, a tremendous feed if ever there was one & great value for money. A fairly straightforward but very tasty menu, with food cooked fresh & served piping hot. Comfortable dining area (across 2 floors).

Although the staff was quite friendly and helpful, what's inside the plate did not really raised my enthusiasm. Cheap though. I guess you can't have it all 🤷‍♂️

Decent enough food but portion size wad on the small side. Also found quite a few bigger bones in the fish. Something to consider when ordering for the kids.

Good food, just wish it was on plates with proper cutlery

Chips really bad.. Full of oil. Burger not great.. Fish too much batter.. Not a great experience today.. Sorry

Multiple onion rings with onions that i can only describe as paper in them, chemical taste and smell of that batter on the chicken goujons

Although disappointed in the Articlave branch, was happy to try out a Fish at lunchtime. We had a Cod and a portuon of sausages, there were throw in chips so although expensive including a bottle of Fanta and a portion of red sauce at 65p was a god enough value meal. Sausages were good, but the Cod was probably the best I've had in the last 10 years. Chips were outstanding as well. Loose the ridiculous charge for sauce, and I would put this chippy as best in NI.

Just had an amazing food hear today Two pieces of fish unbelievable taste Just amazing.

A local favourite since early childhood

Fantastic value. Fantastic food. Very helpful staff. Just go you will be delighted

Fish and chips where first class!! Highly recommended

Good food and large portion sizes. However they advertise heinz sauce and charge 65p but it's not. I have allergies so wasn't sure if I could even eat it in the end. However friendly staff and gluten free options are available

Absolutely overpriced for 2 burgers. We were charged 60p for tiny bit of lettuce & piece of tomato on one of the burgers!!! Any wonder the place was empty. We will not be back

Great chippy with big portions and not greasy. Would like a veggie option though, in some places the pasties are made with spices, no meat so that could be an easy option. However, thff red pasties were delicious and the batter was one of the best I have had 😋

Great lunchtime specials and great value for money.

Chequers Riverside has it all! They have an extensive menu to suit everyone. Their fish & chips have to be the best in town-the batter is crispy & non greasy and very decent portion sizes. Staff are always extremely polite & friendly. Special shout out to Kai who served me this evening-he was very pleasant & super efficient. Jane is a great asset too-welcomes every single customer that walks through the door with a huge smile. She makes time to chat & banter with the customers too while they wait for their order. Can't recommend Chequers Riverside enough!! Keep up the good work guys! 👏

Take away wasnt that nice onion rings are bad and soggy and one wasnt cooked

It has been a long time since we had a great meal at an affordable called at Chequers while up in Coleraine staying at the Premier Inn for a few days. We come from Ballywalter and I haven't had a meal like it. We'll done Chequers. Very friendly, clean and good surroundings. Hopefully we will be back tonight for another meal maybe not as much though. All the best for the future. Well-wisher. From Ballywalter 👌🤝

Very good food and friendly staff,tho a wee bit on the pricey side

Been a few times and food tastes very good. Fish batter is nice and crispy. Curry sauce tastes good but was a little watery compaired to portrush.

Great chips, crispy outside soft in the middle.

Yummy fish and chips. Great food and great price

Food was very greasy. Chips poor quality. Quite disappointed.

The 4 of us ate here this evening great food Clean and tidy 1 thing missing here is service with a smile 😃 The young guy had somewhere else he wanted to be I guess

Beautiful fish and chips.Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Food wasn't great but its definitely not the worst in the town.

Good food, unfortunately experience was ruined by a rude member of staff

Great fish and chips 🍟. A bit pricey but tasty 😋

Very nice i love a good fish and chip and never fails to reach my expectations keep up the good work and see you soon

Better service and food than some of there other stores

Staff were very lovely and food was so nice!

Love this chippy and so does the kids

Very nice cosy modern family style restaurant with helpful and friendly staff and clean place with fresh dishes and fast food I have been there a few times and great service and dishes

Good quality food, i prefer this Chequers to others in the triangle area

Good food but doesn't justify the prices, better chippies in town for lower price

Food was ok, Not the best chippy I've been to. Reminded me of Harry Ramsdens with the thick tough batter and chips that where dry inside like they had been frozen. Like I said nice but wouldn't go again.

Last few times we have been in service has been very slow and not once has our order been right. Young lad at counter very unhelpful, almost seems like he doesn't want to be there. Very disappointing from Chequers

The experience was excellent staff

Excellent staff service was amazing food was excellent

Very good food and friendly staff.

Got a cod supper this evening. A lot of soggy batter and very little fish. Food was cold. Will not be back.

Had just turned the oven of, could only micro wave a scone, thought this was poor service as it was s quick heat oven, lighting very glarey in eyes, coffee ok and had two very comfortable arm chairs.

Great food. Not to be confused with the other branches this one is so much better. Their chicken Goujons are the best, The fish is also great, battered sausages and onion rings also good

Crispiest batter , beautiful REAL cod ...🥰

Had Christmas Dinner Chequers style..delicious!!

Called in to grab a quick bite, sat waiting to be served and no one came.. 5 staff behind the counter talking so ended up walking out. Very disappointed with the service 😒

The food is ok, tasty ,but the staff is really unprofessional. Maybe it was late, maybe we were tourists, maybe,maybe... would try it as a take away only, not eating in. Really rude.

Food was ok chips and sausage was very good but the chicken burger qas over cooked and way too hard to eat. And i was also fined for something that i didn't do.

The food was excellent. The service by the young lad was disappointing. He slouched over the till, almost seemed 'annoyed ' that we had disturbed him to place an order. He was the same with other customers. Yawning between typing in . Disappointing for the venue 😕

Staff not very friendly, food was cold. Chips soggy and tastless,and burger was cold and the bun was stale.🤢

Lovely food & loads of indoor seating, wee bit on the expensive side but was happy to pay it as the food was lovely.

Lovely, friendly staff, very helpful. Nice and clean and well decorated!! Great food :)

One of the nicest restaurants in Northern Ireland. Great staff, amazing food and impeccable cleanliness. If you're going to the McDonald's next to it; you're missing out on better food and a more relaxing atmosphere.

Fantastic staff & always great food

Food is good. Gluten free chips, fish & chicken available

Very enjoyable experience lovely cod and chips

Always great fish and chips from..drive miles just to get it....

Nicest chippy I've had in a long time, highly recommended

Nice food and reasonably priced

Amazing chips and quick service.
