Dolphin Fish And Chips in Birmingham

I called beforehand asking if this chip shop accepts card payments, eventhough it states it does online!. I was told on the phone that they do accept card payments, however i then went into the chip shop only to be told they don’t accept card (I called 5 mins before!) When I told them that I called beforehand, I was told by the manager a ridiculous lie saying “we only accept card at certain times”, how pathetic and what a waste of time. Wonder why they don’t accept card payment?…..

GREAT chippy! - Friendly owner and staff, generous portions, originally nipped in on a whim, and wasn't disappointed! Been a few times now, but tonight we called to make sure that they were open, and to able to call in an order to save time - very helpful! The fish as always, was large and super tasty, the chips were great, and the battered sausage we also had was cooked perfectly, with not too much batter on - just right... Recommended, and it's now our preferred local!... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They are always having a nice chat with us and they give lollipops to my kids for free. The chips are to die for and my personal favourite is their chicken.

Bought fish & chips from here during the week Never again what a rip off the batter on the fish tasted horrid & the chips what you get of them was not that much better What a rip off.

Very tasty curry sauce with chips and sausage deal. Good quality food. I will stop by if I ever drive past this area again, I'm from Leicester locally.

very overpriced for bang average food.

Friendly service but food is average especially for the price. Fish left under heater all day, not fresh.

Went in for chips. They don't take card under £5 but the small chips at £2.80 are well worth it. They were fresh, they had good salt not the chappy cheap stuff and the chips were fresh. Best in the area that ice found

Amazing food and service, very friendly staff. Will definitely be returning again. Keep up the good work guys👍👍

Bought fish and chips, small curry sauce and a mini fish on its own and was astonished to be handed £1:10 form the £20 I had given them. Returned home unhappy with the price paid to find my mini fish consisted of a peice of fish no bigger than the falk used to eat with. No kidding when I say 35mm x 140mm. Disgraceful for the price. I like the chap who works there but I'm afraid the owners have way overpriced themselves and looking at other reviews I'm not on my own.

My experience of this chippy,I found d the fish a bit expensive. And the meat boxes lacking.

Seriously gone down hill, keebab out do the tin, ask for it to be cut fresh get attitude, fish tastes like it's been standing a while and chips definitely been standing a while,, use to be so nice now so so bad, staff before were polite, over priced for average food such a shame

We don't get fish and chips very often but looked forward go getting some from the Dolphin. £19.60 for haddock and small chips, curry sauce and a mini fish and chips. I got home and the chips were missing. I drove back and explained and the girl who took my order was rude and argued with me. I asked her to tot my order up on the till. Only then did she admit her mistake. My food was cold and the owner just kept shouting over to just give me my chips. Shocking service and a poor attempt to put things right. As expected the food was cold by the time I had driven home and was not enjoyable at all. Soggy batter, fish with no taste and cold chips! What a waste of £20.

The best in town , spotless as usual. Chips are done to perfection really nice fluffy whits fish and the kebabs are next level

Ordered a fish and chips at lunch time today and the quality has gone down . The chips were over cooked and greasy . The fish batter was chewy and the cod was dry . It went straight into the bin !. Very sad as this used to be a lovely chip shop selling quality food .

Great friendly staff and quick on service

For someone only visiting the area, this was a great find. It was extremely clean and even though I wasn't in there long, as I was having a takeout, the gent behind the counter was very personable. There was plenty to choose from and I felt the food was reasonably priced given the current climate for businesses. The fish and chips were lovely. I will definitely visit again next time I am in the area. Efcharisto.

Chips too greasy & not cooked properly.

Defo one of the better chip shops i've been to in birmingham

Great fish and chips, spotless chippy!

Excellent food, very fresh and tasty, spotlessly clean 5 star hygiene rating, fish and chips were outstanding. The guy behind the counter is extremely friendly

poor quality food and overpriced .. They not even give us tissues

Very good manager who working by himself made me feel looked after.

Omg worst fish and chips I've had the chips tasted off and the fish was greasy as hell £7.60 for mini fish and chips what a joke wouldn't mind if it was nice but no bloody horrible never eating from there again stay well clear

Best fish and chips in acocks green 😋

A chippy that is stingy on the chips is not going to have a good review as a start. More pricey that my regular chippy, meat portion was good. Difficult that l may return though.

They serve the food on paper, also, I hurt my mouth while eating the potatoes due to a plastic that was in them, I came back to show it to him, and his response was: sorry, sometimes it happens... I do not recommend it

Today 4th January 2023 ! I ordered lightly batted Haddock! it wasn’t what I had asked for and size of fish was shocking for £7.60 and chips were all the little left over £2.80 , I asked for a large curry sauce £1.80 and bottle of water £1 total £13.20 paid cash and short changed after giving the guy £20 note and he gave me only £6 back, Never again and recommend you shop around for a better quality and fairly priced Fish and Chips,.

Expensive and poor quality food really disappointed.

Really pleasant and friendly team despite long queues and large orders.

I always used this place for fish and chips. Always fresh: I did not mind waiting for it for that reason. I miss it: emigrated 7 years ago.

I can’t believe they changed me £12.65 just for fish and chips to take out myself on Wednesday 14th September 2022. I want be going there again, it's a rip off.

Asked for mixed meat with chips (3 times I asked for the item) but received just plain donner meat with chips, my friend who had sent me was really not happy… I guess I’ll not be sent out again for them anytime soon

A shop worth to be one of best , clean and nice food always

A chip shop so good it closes at 8, a chip shop so out of touch from its customers that it hides away from last reviews. I will never have any food from this disengaged establishment

Just had a kebab and some chips and it was class well done 👏

The food is really nice just £7.50 for a large kebab and only half the box is full can go other places where its £5 and the box is full to the top portion sizes awful for price

Overpriced, overcooked and cold.

Chip were cold, hardly any salt and vinegar. Above all they were pricey. Small size for regularly. Wont ever be going back.

Had kebab meat and salad on our last visit but meat was quite tasteless. Even after asking for extra garlic sauce, it was like someone had shown the meat the sauce but not actually made contact. A little disappointed. Good meat to salad ratio though.

Top quality food and fantastic service kebabs are awesome

Fantastic place fantastic choice and the lady that served me was lovely! Brilliant place A+++++

The best fish and chips at the area

Rude staff,too expensive and portions sizes are ridiculous 👎

Excellent chicken meat and chips with plenty of salad.

Come from out of town found this place had cod and chips was hot and well cooked fish

Quite lot of bad potatoes which ruined the meal for me

This is my go to place whenever I want Fish N Chips/Kebab etc and yes I live about 15-20 min drive from the place but it NEVER lets me down. The staff are friendly and gentleman who runs the chip shop is a lovely guy and nothing is ever too much for him. Portions on occasions have been hit and miss but again the manager always looks after me. 4 stars out of 5....one star dropped as prices have increased which has meant myself going every other week but again it's not their fault as supply chains and covid means prices have risen significantly. I've read some negative or bad reviews and honestly...yes it can happen but rather than pan them, go back discuss and they'll look after you!

Been going for years. Always ok

Just put in order ask for mix meat gave me donner meat and taste old was disgusting not happy

Portion size was ridiculous! Paid 8.70 for a mixed kebab, did not state it was I pitta ( and the smallest pitta I've seen) rather than naan or have the option! Value for money is ridiculous go else where.

Just ordered fish and chips via Uber Eats. The food arrived piping hot. I have to say it was the nicest chippy tea I have had in along time. Really recommend this take away.

Can’t pay for chips on a card. Not great in this day and age.

Every time I drive back from Wales I have to have proper fish and chips.. And this is the place to come

Always nice fresh fish and chips. Nice clean place.

Best chippie for miles, not cheap but you pay for the quality

Usually fabulous food, sadly last nights food was soggy and my fish was undercooked. Shame 1st time in ages before par.

Beautiful shop...delicious food...helpful staff... love it!!

Blatantly refused to serve some firefighters who I allowed to go in front of me in the queue. They obviously had to return to work and were very polite and smiley, as I wasn't in a rush I allowed them to go in front of me and so did another person. However, even as they reached the front of the line the man refused to serve them and the firefighters were evidently very shocked at the blatant. One of the other people who worked there offered to serve them but the gaffer said that he didn't want them served. The server got quite enraged and began shouting in another language, he looked like he wanted to jump over the counter Honestly, just a little outraged at this situation, especially with all of the black lives matters movements going on and that my children saw the blatant discrimination. Didn't even really want to eat the chips knowing that the firefighters probably wouldn't be eating that night

Always good food... spotlessly clean....only gripe is that they tend to keep people waiting Who are in the shop so as to service the phone /online orders....other than that can't fault it 👍

Nice clean shop very nice staff polite I have trouble walking so I just park on the front of the shop and they come out and serve me fantastic

Had a donner burger , opened it , took a bite ,meat was stone cold like rubber

Perfect service with full Covid protection. Food was really good as well.

Always great chips and love their battered halloumi!

Lovely Staff. Always fresh food with good quality. Definitely recommend

Food is always good here but had to wait too long the last 2 times while they seemed to be doing just eat orders.

Friendly staff... Great food...fresh...nice and hot... Would recommend

I cannot say a bad thing about this chippy besides the fact its always busy! Lovely food, very fresh & the staff is friendly cannot fault them! very polite and kind, even during such a difficult time! 'Food' is amazing one of the best chippys in Birmingham 👍 keep up the good work!

Just had another quality meal... Fish and chips with a mixed naan kebab The shop looked bright and clean the food looked fresh and inviting and tasted amazing... In this difficult time of pandemic all the staff have done a fantastic job and standards could never be higher... ----------------------------------------- Previuos review... Always fresh and tasty, impeccable clean. The front of house staff are always friendly and welcoming. Fresh fish is cooked on request if you wish to wait but there is always plenty in the window. This is a proper chippy that serves fantastic food... Never had a bad meal to date and I've been using it now for a long time. So Forget bargain chip shops cause there is a reason they can supply cheap food... Eg: Cheap quality products and take my recommendation its worth paying a little extra when food is this good.... 😋

Fantastic top notch food not greasy as other chip shops.

Disappointing. I used to have great food from here but it's gone down hill lately. The food was luke warm, the guys serving were more interested in talking with and serving their friend, who didn't have to wear a face covering or mask and had his food cooked fresh, and my order was missing some items. Don't order the mixed chicken kebab, you'll only get warm chicken tikka that is mostly flavouring and they don't offer salad, but they do offer sauces. The chip portions are a lot smaller than they used to be but the prices are really high for the quality. And they don't give you receipts for your order. It is maybe better to go when it's busier and the staff want to serve and pay attention to customers?

Fantastic food great service and good value for money.

Debo decir que sigue siendo uno de los mejores bares de pescado de la zona. Muy buena relación calidad-precio y obtienes mucho por lo que pagaste. Lamentablemente, me he alejado del área, pero he estado usando esto durante casi tres décadas.

Great fish bar serving lovely fresh chips and beautiful kebabs 😍 They serve all 3 kebab meats too which is a bonus. Great value for money as the portions are huge and very good quality kebab meat. Staff are so friendly 😊 My new go to chippy!

One of the few places that does premium quality kebab meat... Yes you pay a little more but totally worth it... The mixed meat kebab is the best I've ever eaten.

Like a dads lane of the early 00s. Best chippie around

Only one star as I cannot give zero stars, terrible customer service, I ordered from uber eats and only half the order arrived and the fish was alk smashed up. I took the order back and staff called the owner who would not take responsibility for it and just said uber eats takes %30, how he could expect me to accept that I paid £7 for a large fish with no chips and completely destroyed was beyond me, who would pay £7 just for a piece of fish?

Been getting fish and chips from this location on and off for about 3 years now and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious, the location is always clean and plenty of room to stand around waiting for your order (pre-COVID) and the staff are wonderful and caring. Definitely recommend as your new weekly chippy.

Very disappointed normally a great chip shop. Put salt and vinegar on chips when asked not to and only half a meal with large mixed kebab meat. Will wait untill open property hopefully he will get back to normal

Best fish and chips hands down for me. Been going for years the quality of food never dissapoints and staff are very friendly

5 star food hygiene. 5 star service. Fab fish and chips.

Comido aquí unas pocas veces a lo largo de los años nunca decepciona. Buena comida de calidad y grandes porciones. Los precios tampoco son tan malos.

If you want some good fish & chips - this is the place you want to go to! Best in Birmingham. Some reviews state the food is a bit 'pricey', but it's all fresh. And I'd rather pay a few quid more for fresh food than for something that was cooked a few hours ago!

Hemos estado usando este chip durante aproximadamente 8 años y siempre ha sido de primera calidad. El kebab de cordero no es para nada graso como puede ser en otras patatas fritas y el pescado siempre es genial. Los chips son increíbles y siempre hay algo nuevo o diferente en el menú. De primera calidad, muy recomendable. ??

Gorgeous kebabs! Fresh salad too

Good food, can get very busy at times but my biggest gripe is the chips aren't as hot as another local chippy so we tend to go elsewhere, unfortunately we have a few locally with the same issue. We prefer our chips red hot.

Nice and clean.Thats all i can say food very bland and dry no taste at all.Had chicken meat and chips chicken come from a pot that was so dry and tasteless chips ok ish the bin was well fed cant say that about me will never go back

Very overpriced and portion sizes are awful. When I was waiting for my kebab, I actually had to ask the lady if the portion size is real.. and for £6.80!?? No thank you. Much better chip shops that are local, avoid this dump at all costs

Had chips from there last night ,they were over cooked 15/11/19.Didn't eat them all.

Great Fish and chips, friendly service... if I have one criticism I would prefer at busy times for one person doing Kebab orders to free up the other staff to serve the traditional Fish and Chips 👍

Excellent service,fresh high quality food...!!!

They never disappoint. And the Greek salad box is a very good option

Very clean and the chips are great.

Excellent food an service been using this chippy since i was 11 nack on 1981

Great friendly staff taht know their customers, consistently good food and extremely clean premises. I wouldn't go anywhere else

Excellent chip shop. Very helpful manager who likes to please. Nothing is too much trouble. Perfect chips and excellent lightly battered fried fish. Best in Birmingham. Huge portions. Thank you.

Always used this chippy go far for this chippy but today it was vile! I don’t no if they have had a new chef but the order was wrong the chips was like they had been warmed up and the chicken was missing from the order of mixed meat. Won’t be going here again.

Best fish & chips I've ever had in my life.

Great fish n chips and love the s.f. chicken too mmmm

Delicious Haddock. Quick service
