Cj's Place in Moray

Been going to CJ’s for approx 10 years, but enough is enough. This use to be one of the best chippies in Elgin by far, but whether its under different management or it’s just a lack of effort, it’s totally gone downhill. Our last 2 fish suppers were dry and fish was very thin. You use to get quick a plump flaky haddock, but clearly not anymore. The batter was overcooked, it use to have a nice crunchy, moist texture, but this was more like a deep fried brandy basket. And as for the chips. Boke. Nothing fresh about them. Not be going back. Id rather spend another £5-10 for something more upmarket, knowing that I wont have that feeling of just being robbed. Sorry CJ’s but this is on you. And not as much as a smile or a thankyou when you leave.

Thanks for all your help, mum hasn't been well and can't cook. Also delivery driver came out in awful. Best chips and fillets

I had a problem free experience with CJs. My telephone call to place order was promptly answered. My order was ready for me at the agreed collection time and most importantly our party of four thoroughly enjoyed our takeaway..

Popped in for a fish supper. Didn’t have to wait too long. The food tasted great and was a good sized portion.

They apparently closes in around 40 minutes. This is a lie. Checked in advance. Supposed to close at 8. Arrived at 7. Snapped at by person behind counter that they were closed. Standing beside the lit up counter full of fish mind you. Being advised they were closed would have been enough but to carry on with a lecture on how their shutter was closed over was completely unnecessary. Embarrassment of customer service. What a welcome to Elgin. Pathetic

Far too slow. Slower than a week in the jail. The place was'nt even that busy yet they took over 45 mins and counting to make a fish supper. Not good enough.

After reading a shocking review from April it seems that our 3 girls are back in motion again. You go in (with mask), place an order and stand outside observing social distancing while the girls call your name when your order is ready - very well organised. The food is fresh, delicious but a tad overdone with the batter, which is probably how the customers like it. Great for outdoor types who are hungry and don't care about calories.

Absolute shambles of a place. Can not speak lowly enough about this place. No matter what i say or how bad this review is it does not do this place justice for how poor it is. The girls in here dont have a clue what they are doing. You walk in and order food and she just stands and stares at you with a big dopey blank look on her face. She Said that will be 20-30 mins so stood around for ages and had no confidence the order was actually taken. Nothing was written down. There are 3 women running round with their heads on fire arguing with eachother about who is doing what and what order is next. No management.. no organisation .. the food is bang average and over priced. It takes far too long from ordering to getting hands on your food.. about 45-60 minutes. The place could really do with some new staff who know how to cope and dont panic and argue with eachother. Just take an order.. write it down .. make the food .. take payment.. issue the food. Its really Not hard. Not professional at all with customers stood there and you can see and hear them running round saying “what did he just order” “i dont know whats going on” “ive got orders everywhere” The place is an absolute shambles. In all my life i have never seen food service this poor. Avoid at all costs.

We used to be regulars but in the past 18 months the quality seems to have dropped. It's not bad , just not as good as it used to be. We keep going back hoping it improves and sometimes we see a glimpse of the glory days. As I said I still frequent but know it's lost its edge.

Cj's without a doubt do the best fish and chips in Elgin. Large portions of fish which were cooked to perfection. Chips and mushy peas tasty. A great takeaway.

Decided to take the family to get a chippy and we had a very simple order as there were only 3 of us but that didn’t stop them from taking forever to make our order. We waited for about 45 minutes for it and other people were getting their orders even ones who ordered after we did. Tried to complain but just got some right dirty looks from the staff. Avoid unless you can wait until Christmas to get some chips.

The chippie was recommended to us as a stopping point on the way to Aberdeen. What a find! Fantastic fish and chips. Freshly cooked and huge portions.very reasonable and very clean. Its popularity is obvious by how busy it is. Just beside the ruins of the cathedral and a nice walkway. Closed on a Monday.

Waited 1hr and 10mins for a simple order/ delivery. Didnt receive my full order and must have been over charged. Food wasnt hot. Usually i collect in person and foods usually good enough. No explanations when i called to see where my order was, until i then called back to complain about part of the order missing. Although this has happened twice now (missing items) I also asked for a price when ordering and was told they couldnt at that time. I would have expected a receipt of some sort upon delivery but no! Was offered the item to be delivered but i refused as not worth waiting for

CJs Plaice does pizza on a Friday and Saturday night and it's the most amazing pizza you can get in Elgin/Moray! The staff as so friendly and chatty - it's a real Friday night treat to get a pizza from CJs! Very highly recommended. The quality of the pizza is up there with the best!

really good food doesn't make up for slow service always get made to wait 4o to 45 mins watch everyone get served that came in after me even though my order was already in seems to be all regulars that get there orders first never apologise for keeping u waiting

I cant fault the food, the large fish supper is truly large and very tasty but the waiting time has put me off going in several times. It appears they are trying to cook home deliveries at the same time as cooking orders for the people in the take-away. They need to find a way to cut the waiting time. However on the last 2 occasions Ive been in I got my food faster than usual so maybe things are changing or maybe I just got lucky.

If you can put up with the wait as everything is cooked fresh then welcome to the best chipper in the shire.

Este solía ser un excelente para llevar los últimos dos veces pero que pedimos para la entrega, hemos tenido que esperar 1. 5 horas! Totalmente inaceptable, sin embargo todavía cobran por la entrega! Yo podría haber ido y capturado el pescado y cocinado yo mismo por el tiempo que se tarda en entregar!

Yo solía pensar que este era el mejor "fish and chips" en Elgin hasta el último pocas veces han sido pedimos el pescado cenas. Cada vez que ellos tenían el tamaño de la porción es buena, pero no un montón de patatas fritas, pero suficiente. Los peces nunca está hecha pasta siempre empalagoso. Nosotros le anima a volver.

went for fish and chips and holy moly the fish was massive I couldn't believe how much fish you got for your money, and it was so good I would have to say cj's place definitely comes in my top 3

For me, the best chippy in the area. The quality of the food is to a really good standard and like wise the quantity. A large fish supper with curry sauce and mushy peas is very good value and consistently delicious. Well done.

Gran calidad de pescado y patatas fritas, las porciones son enormes, peces cena personal amable, con una gran relación calidad-precio. Este es el mejor pescado y patatas fritas que he tenido en el REINO UNIDO hasta ahora

La comida realmente buena, tiende a ser un poco grasiento a veces, pero es un "fish and chips" después de todo! Las porciones muy buen tamaño y todo está caliente.

Half hour wait for one Baked tattie, chips an cheese and a pie. 5 people who arrived after us left with their food before us! When questioned was told rather rudely and abruptly that they had to wait on the tattie cos it's freshly made?? Chilli for the tattie was burnt an the pie was in a million bits. Won't be going back cos this is a common occurrence there these days sadly. Witnessed one boy throw his chips back at them one night cos he'd waited that long for them! If I could give no stars I would!

This chip shop is a nightmare, half hour wait for a cone of chips? Really! I've eaten from here before and the food is quite nice if you're prepared to wait for it, the girls on the counter look as though they're about to faint every time another customer walks in. Prices are a bit ridiculous along with the service.

Four people serving, one person in the shop and 25 minutes to wait for 2 cartons if chips with cheese which cost £6... Quality and service not what it was. Orders were going out granted, however a ridiculous time to wait for chips.

4 fish suppers under £20 beat that !!!!! does small medium and large portions, excellent VFM, highly recommended. super staff

This fish & chip shop offers quick and friendly service. The fish is fresh and very tasty.At times when people are waiting for their food to cook there can be a bit of good banter amongst the customers.Orders can be phoned in and delivered from both the chip shop and the pizza place which is separated from the chip shop.

great food but long waiting times seems when ever I've been in everyone else get theres meals before me even though have came in after me its not hard meals only chips and mac pie but yet a good 6 or 7 regulars get theres first seems to me they always get the regulars food out first before less often prodders

Had a takeaway this evening and it was very good. The batter was crispy and the portions generous. I will be back.

We didn't go into the chippy part we went for pizza's they are made fresh on the spot worth waiting for my family really enjoyed it

Love CJs for fish & chips! Huge portions and very tasty! My partner and I happily drive the hour round trip past all our other locals to get here! highly recommend!! the Cj special burger is also good too and their garlic sauce! Yummy!!I've probably been 10+ times now since we discovered this amazing place and it's always the same great standard!

If you haven't tried CJ's Plaice for a take away chippy then you need to give it a try. Good service, cooked to order, pleasant staff great food. We had large Battered Haddock Suppers, absolutely spot on, first class.

Decent size portion fresh cooked and great staff. Lovely proper chippy. Thanks girls!!! 7pm and nothing was stored ready cooked. Worth the short wait.

Friday night is Chippy night in our house and CJ's is the chippy of choice. This is the best Fish and Chips I have had in Elgin, and the Black Pudding and new Spicy Haggis are also excellent. The Chips are not the soggy greasy offerings that you get elswhere but crisp and tasty. Enough Said give it a try I am sure you will be happy.
