Joe's Fish Shop Traditional Fish & Chips in Merthyr Tydfil

Food was estimated to arrive at 7.50pm, finally arrived by 8.50pm. Rang the takeaway to be told ‘he left ages ago,’ but then received a notification to say that the food was on its way. Chicken curry was cold. Ice cream was melted. Waffle was so dry it was inedible. We’ve ordered from here a lot and used to be great, but we won’t order again.

delivery was earlier than expected but was great 👍 food was amazing,great quality and portions so will definitely order again. thank you 😊

Lovely fish and chips thank you

Quite expensive for what you get, an XL portion of Chips is about 3 people’s worth at a push, not the 4+ you’d expect for the price.

Absolutely amazing. Really tasty, really fresh and piping hot. Also the delivery lady was so lovely too. Thankyou 😊

fish and chips supper. blooming beautiful . Huge fish!!! Gorgeous chips!! 3rd time ordering from Joe's. Definitely our new fav chippy. Proper chippy chips... you know what I mean lol!!!

chicken skewers!? iceland are better. frozen, soggy chips. no thanks.....

This place hasn't been right for years. Friday night's offering was pathetic. Half cooked chips heated in a microwave. They ended up in the bin. Waste of money.

Food was reheated and stale chips were over coloured and brown.Appalling service> Who wants a quick delivery time with stale food!!

Lovely food. On time . Great service . Thank you

Ordered via Foodhub. Unsure if it’s different when ordering online but my first experience wasn’t a good one. The fish bites were soggy and dripping in fat, there was little to no taste to the fish and the batter was inedible. Chips were ok. Nothing ground breaking. Disappointed is an understatement

Ordered for 8:30 at 7. It turned up at 8:55, it was extremely cold and rock hard it hurt my jaw to chew. The waffle was thin and not much taste ar all. The milkshake tasted of just milk, couldn't taste any milkybar at all. There was no explanation or apology as to why it's late. Cannot ever see myself ordering from here again which is a shame as my family have praised here in the past.

waffles were hard and chewy, stingy on sauce, milkshakes were dead, spent £30 on 2 badly made waffles and 2 badly tasting milkshakes definitely will never buy from here again only good thing was the delivery time!

kind staff but didn’t really like the food it wasn’t that appetising it didn’t want to make me keep eating it and didn’t eat all of it but the milkshakes were stunning like amazing I love it but the service was really friendly.

It was lovely . I say the best fish and we had in a while . Thankyou

Food was absolutely lovely , but please don't use those cardboard boxes for takeaway curry/gravy and chips , the gravy/curry just drys up into the box itself and with those lids they really annoying to eat with they keep getting in the way ...old school polystyrene ones would be much nicer .

Order originally stated 55-60 minutes. Long but on a Saturday fair enough. That then changed and was extended another 25 minutes, 20 minutes later the food arrives. 2 hours in total from order to receiving it. When it came it was hot which was good. However only average.

Food arrived cold and not edible. Arrived really late. Milkshakes were getting stale

Very tasty. Large portion. Lovely chips.

fish was greasy and undercooked chips was re cooked and not fresh as I would expected to have

very nice staff good food no complaints

Lovely food & delicious milkshakes. It did arrive a bit later than the estimated time of arrival but netherless would order again!

Excellent food, fish and chips in a box with lemon and tartare sauce is a nice touch, great quality hot food, was a first time order but definately wont be the last!

Always a good meal from Joe's.. I wont use any other chip shop now! chips always hot, fresh and tasty .. have recommended to family already

The curry was £9 something and it tasted very powdery and not very nice. Sadly I had a couple mouth fulls and couldn’t eat anymore. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Food was very nice probably the best order we've had for a while if not a little expensive but very nice food.

Great quality food and lovely staff. Ordered from Joe’s multiple times and never been let down! Definitely a local gem.

First time ordering but will definitely be ordering again!

Food was lovely, would definitely order again.

Great food as always, plenty too. Very polite delivery man. Would definitely use them again.

absolutly great food ,fish perfect and chips and curry just like you wish for ,loved it always good

Lovely waffles and milkshakes 👍

Food was absolutely stunning my new local fish shop 💯

Was really nice will definitely order again

Excellent food .Well worth a visit 10/10

The food was amazing, bought for 4 people everyone was fully satisfied with their meal. Can only recommend you try.

Delivery was good but the waffle was really tough.

Nice food, chips were lovely, burgers are very small for the price but tasted nice enough

Burger was hard and dry,Chilli dog,was cold and soggy,Milkshakes where decent

Excellent Large Cod and Chips. The Cod was the best and was tender and not dry. The batter was lightly cooked to perfection. Good friendly service from the two ladies behind the counter. We need somewhere to sit whilst waiting for the food to be freshly cooked. Keep up the good work. The competition is always trying to take your customers away.

There was a road closure so driver had to go long route but he was apologetic. A nice smart driver . Food was very tasty and presented well in a nice strong box . Correct order as well.

Not quite ticking all my boxes, I've waited in line and had delivery. I'd say fresh from shop best. Prices are a bit expensive for me though.

I have eaten from here a few time over the last six months and always found the food tasted nice, was reasonably priced with large portions. I visited again tonight on my way home from work. I ordered two large portions of chips, one curry sauce and a gravy plus two sausages in batter. I'm not sure if there are new owners but everything was awful. Two large bags of chips were the smallest ever and the gravy was the worst I have ever tasted, it was like brown water, thin and insipid. My wife's curry was equally bad as were the cremated sausages. I was hugely disappointed and sadly won't be visiting again.

2 hours late my son was already in bed had to make him somthing due to it being late it was a treat for a birthday that was spoild x

The gravy I have with my meal was pretty tasteless and not very nice at all. Otherwise the food was great and I’d happily order again. My wife and I also had waffles and they were awesome! Highly recommended.

Lovely fish and chips. Can’t fault it. However delivery time wasn’t good. It arrived 30 minutes late.

Definitely the best plaice to order from!!! I won't even think of floundering anywhere else.

Food was a little late, but considering all the snow today, I'd prefer the driver be a little late, and safe. All arrived piping hot and was delicious! Nicest chippy I've ever ordered from 😊😊😊😊 burger was amazing!!

Omg great food and girls are a great laugh 🤣

Great food, milkshake was really thick and staff on phone were fantastic when I called to ask how long the order was going to be.

But worth waiting for DELICIOUS 😋

fish was overcooked but this is not what it's like normally,otherwise rest of food nice

Second time ordering, excellent quality and nice and hot when delivered!

The order took a very long time to come but the restraunt did refund some money and the food was great and very hot

Decided to try Joe's on a whim, and was blown away by it. The burgers were spectacular quality, tasting authentic and fresh rather than processed. Milkshakes were also delicious. Will definitely order again.

Lovely food, lovely staff and prompt delivery every time!

Was the first time to try joe’s, was fast delivery and great food, will be back for more.

Can’t fault the food, arrived early, food was hot, tasty and plenty of it. Curry sauce was lovely too

We have ordered with yourselves on a few occasions and have had no problem and really enjoyed the food. However last night we ordered at 7 pm and was given a time estimate for delivery between 8.10 pm and 8.30 pm but our food wasn't delivered until 9.30 pm which was an hour late. We were given the option via Just Eat to request some money back but received a reply simply saying 'No' to that request. We were very surprised to receive no goodwill from this yourselves and it has put us off ordering with yourselves again.

We have ordered from here about 3 or 4 times now and the food is always piping hot and lovely. Fish is unreal & the chips are always perfect. Staff are so friendly and polite

Best I've had in a long time. Delivery boy was, so polite too.

Food was ok, delivery driver locked eyes with me at my door and stared me down it was very awkward.

Been waiting two hours, food still hasn't turned up.

Chips are cold, gravy is cheap and taste horrible and the curry was lumpy and horrible, the employees were rude when they messed up the order. Expensive £20 for 2 large chips (more like a small) a pot of gravy and a pot of curry. I would never even recommend it to the person I hate the most

Chips were at best poor. Pie was great. Chicken and curry were alright. I have had much better from here before..

I found the half pound burger grossly overdone and rubbery. 2 bites and it was in the bin.

Food was just warm as it had been waiting for a driver in the shop for a long time. I ordered at 6.30 and it arrived after 8.45. Delivery should have been 7.50-8.10 and I thought that was a long time already! I wont be buying again!!!!

When this place wS taken over by Billy's Diner, the food and service went bad real quickly. Now its back to Joe's fish bar, the high standards are back! Brilliant!

Very nice fish cake that’s what gets the star, everything else soggy and tasteless

Very slow service, and some order missing

food is always delicious and the staff are so friendly and polite

This is not your ‘average joes’ your paying for top quality food. I had the chicken and pulled pork burger and it was fantastic. My partner also really enjoyed his cheese burger then we finished it off with a really delicious galaxy caramel waffle and thick strawberry milkshake. Can’t fault it at all. The delivery was quicker than estimated too which was great. Highly recommend!

This is the fifth time I have ordered from here and everytime the food is stunning and the delivery drivers are lovely.

Excellent food excellent service

NO TARTER SAUCE FOR THE FISH SO THAT WAS SPOILT , LATE SERVICE AS THE DELIVERY MAN WENT NEXT DOOR SO FOOD WAS COLD ,I CANT UNDERSTAND THIS 7A IS ON MY FRONT DOOR LARGER THAN LIFE ,HOW THE HECK DID THEY GO TO NO 7? USED TO BE EXCELLENT SERVICE ,I PAID £4 DELIVERY SO YOUD THINK THEY WOULD GET THIS RIGHT ?SURLY AT THAT PRICE ?NO THEY WENT NEXT DOOR

Food took over an hour to arrive. Chips were slightly tough again, although fish was nice (as usual).

First estimated arrival time was 19:35-19:55. After they failed to arrive within this time an hour after I ordered the food I put in request online to say they were late. It was then updated to 20:15pm. That time came and went and still no food was here. I put another request in and tried to call the restaurant with no answer. Online just eat said they put in request for some money back. Food finally arrived 2 hours later. I tried to ask the driver since I was having trouble getting through to the restaurant about money back for very late service. I was shocked when the driver was walking away while I was trying to sort order out. I asked her to please stop and she said she doesn't care and not her problem swinging her arms completely unprofessional and disrespectful for a service a customer has paid for and 2 hours late. I finally got through to the restaurant and was told nothing they can do as busy. So they happy to take customers money and not provide a professional service. Due to hungry children I had no option but to accept the order. Terrible service as the food wasn't even warm either for 2 burgers. The ice cream was melted.

Food was suppose to be here at 8.15 it showed up at 9.24 after 3 calls to the shop would not reccomend food is great but the wait is shocking you will not be hungry by the time it shows up

After all good reviews, food wasn't up to others. Fish and chips were warm not hot and the batter was soggy with quite a small fish compared to others, but still tasty.

I don't like greasy fish and chips and these were perfect. Crispy coating on the fish, and chips were the same, not greasy. I have a new chippy to order from. Will definitely order again from Joe's.

Arrived early, food/shake was perfect, 100% will order again

Food was just ok but needed warming up

my dad had chicken curry and chip from this fish shop and was sick half hour after eatting it and he still not right now

Really nice food and really quick delivery

Great food, hot and well packed. Friendly delivery driver, very pleasant.

The burgers we had were gorgeous but on the menu it did say that there would be red onions on the burgers but there was only lettuce I know it’s a tiny thing but thought I’d just give some feedback

Just eat messed up and allowed me to order from Joes Fish shop, witch i didn't know they don't deliver in my area, till after i refreshed just eat. joes delivered the food and it was amazing. gutted now that I'm not able to order from here again because I'm out side the area :(

Food arriving boiling hot, all fresh and the best I’ve had in the area. Definitely will be ordering again.

Absolutely fantastic service and food as always! One of the best chippies around and I’ll definitely be ordering again!

Absolutely delicious! Best burger I've had in a long time felt restaurant worthy 😍

Lovely food! Arrived on time, delivery driver was also very friendly. Thank you

Honestly perfect. Food was lovely - decent sized portions, decently priced & was so well made. Milkshakes were also incredibly & I’d highly recommend

Food was absolutely lovely, tad late but other than that absolutely fantastic and definitely will be ordering again, thanks for a lovely meal.

Not the best Fish Ok , Chips rubbish, not whith the money

Great chips, waffles and milkshakes

Food took almost 2 hours from order to deliver but was definitely worth the wait. The milkshakes are amazing

Waited 2 hours before food came. Really lovely food but I was ready to eat my boots it took so long

A couple of items missing from my order initially. Issue resolved quickly and very satisfactory. Fantastic delivery service 🚚

Shame as heard good reviews. Food took hour and half to arrive and wasn’t worth the wait. Maybe they were just having a bad day.

Food is really nice from here and its about average price been going to this chip shop on and off for 15 years and still going good 👍🏻
