Karl's Fish & Chicken in Denbighshire

Advertised a gluten free chippy but won't serve gluten free after 7pm, the stuff was rude and couldn't even be bothered to put my food in a bag 😉

Hardly ever open so tonight we called and asked what time are you open until lady said 8pm so we drove all the way there to order in shop for 9 people as there is no menu online anywhere and was basically told we only have about enough food for two people what a joke. This place could be a goldmine but the owner and staff are absolutely useless.

I have a theory that chips get better the further north you travel, but you don't really need to go beyond Karl's Fish and Chicken in the High Street in Prestatyn. There's been a chip shop here since time immemorial and this place has never disappointed....fabulous freshly cooked chips, reasonable price and generous portions. Always enjoy visiting here. Right on the Offa's Dyke trail as well.

After a long long wait we finally got served .When we got to the car the meal was absolutely disgusting we couldn't eat it and put it in the bin . Absolutely waste of money .Such a shame it used to be the best chippy around .We will now use Les and Rita chip shop in Rhyl £11.50 and an absolutely scrumptious meal

All I can say was on a weekend family holiday and this place was fantastic... The fish was ample the chips were great. I know when we go back where i'm going again. Brilliant and well priced!

Fish & chips were superb. The fish was fresh and tasty, cooked to order, and had the nicest batter ever. The chips were, obviously made from quality potatoes, and even though the portion size was very substantial, I ate every scrap! The lady who served me was helpful and polite, and the prices were extremely competitive. It was great value for money, and I can't wait to enjoy another meal from here, next time that we visit Prestatyn.

Why do you close so early! It's a Friday night and it's not even 8pm and you've already closed. And your next door to a pub. Honestly it's ludicrous.

Very good value for money, cheap takeaway. Bought 5 chicken strips and was given 7! Polite staff.

Well what can i say awful chips cooked to within an inch of there life. So overcooked you couldnt eat them. Wouldnt go again sorry. Needs somebody to take charge

Large portions but for me a little greasy.

Lovely food. Quite reasonably sized portions compared to some chicken outlets!! Friendly staff.

Once again fish & chips were delicious, staff are so helpful!! See you next weekend ladies, Thankyou

Came across Karls by accident and it was the best accident! Lightly battered fish was paper thin batter which was delicious and the chips were so light and non greasy. The friendly server was very helpful and welcoming, this is one chippy we can highly recommend. You will not be disappointed

This is the best chip shop I have ever had fish and chips from. Friendly staff always busy. Very clean.

We've had food from there on a number of occasions over the last few weeks and I cant fault the place at all ! The staff are all amazing, bright, happy people who will do anything to help ! The food has always been top quality and if i wasn't moving out of the area I would be taking out the 5% discount card as a frequent customer ! This is one of the best take aways I've ever been to !

Popped in here for a quick bite. Was a bit off put by the location, as it seemed a bit seedy. Took some time to place order and waited on pavement outside to be called. No battered sausages or saveloys so ordered a jumbo sausage with chips. Provided with a plastic fork. When it arrived, it was really hot, and was starting to fall out of the paper it was wrapped in. Chips and sausage tasted okay, when it was cool enough to eat. We travelled from here to the beach, to allow it to cool off, as didn't want to stay in this area too long. On the whole, we found it okay.

Visited here on 15/7/21. My wife and i only had a bag of chips each, (as our last visit here wasn't memorable either!) We thought we would give it a try? The chips were not good, under cooked, not going here again, in the future it's the Crispy cod.

This is the worst chip shop I have ever experienced. I expected the food to be fresh as it was cooked to order. The fish batter was a deep dark brown and very thick. There was little fish despite the portion being a large cod. I suspect that the fish was overcooked or that the fryer needed an oil change. The chips, oddly enough, were undercooked and several were raw. I do not like posting negative reviews but the food I was served was very poor.

Amazing friendly staff and food

Ciean polite staff,first class fish chips.

Hot, good chips. Great portion size. Lovely lady serving. Really recommend.

Gone down hill Shame !! used to be nice staff are nice but the food is not as nice as it used to be I used to go all the time but the last few times visiting food not good at all my mum says the same aswell she’s stopped going aswell and she lives round the corner now she has to drive elsewhere

Good tasty food and fast service. I bought chicken strips and price was reasonable.

Absolutely fantastic...thin, light batter & really nice chips. And all that for a very fair price too....

Always good food staff always nice and friendly well worth a visit

Really well managed customer flow to maintain social distancing. Great personalised service from the team behind the counter. Awesome fish n chips prepared perfectly and the kids loved having their sausage and chips by the sea-thanks!!!

Where do I start - chips awful - customer awful - gravy awful - chicken indescribable - in short these people have no business being in the catering trade - just don't go you will be a lot happier starving

Worst chip shop in the area avoid at all costs.

Just had chips from the top of town they were hard not fully cooked disgusting!

We stopped here for a lovely meal and it was just fabulous for the children. They could choose a small children’s meal and a very reasonable price that included a drink and a toy. They staff were warm, friendly and attentive and I would recommend it highly to family’s with small children.

Hit n miss wait for too long cos to busy chatting

I'm biased, i worked here as a lad but the foods always been good

Really nice fish and chips. Fish is cooked well and decent size. Only negative.. Batter fallen off battered sausage by the time we got it all back. Hardly any on it to begin with.

Good food and generous portions

Food actually tastes quite decent but is a tad on the pricey side. Staff weren't all that friendly and the place could have been cleaner. Nice food but need to up their customer service game

It’s great and everything, but please consider putting salt shakers on the tables in the dining area. Cheers.

The food was good .we all enjoy what we had. The problem I had was the way one of the workers spoken to the other worker all because he asked for help as he could remember which pie was what . He was asking for help doesn't matter how long you work some were . If you ask for some help you shouldn't be spoken to like that . He looked so uncomfortable .if she can speak to him like that Infront of people. Then I wouldn't like to think what it's like when there's no one . Are food was severed by the young lad and he was very nice severed us with manners

Ate in. Staff very friendly & obliging. Small portions on offer. Food excellent. Took our grandchildren who thought it was lovely and were treated very nicely and welcomed by the staff. This was our fourth visit and we will be back.

Always very nice ,lovely fish which comes in different sizes ,you can order larger fish as you walk through the door , or if you like lightly battered, it is always ready for you if you order when you first walk in .This chip shop is always busy and there is so much to choose from .Everything cooked to perfection and the staff work so hard to make sure everybody is served with a smile which makes such a difference . well done to Karl and his team we always look forward to having your lovely fish and chips by the sea side .

Well you can't come to the seaside and not eat at least one portion of fish and chips. The fish was really fresh and cooked to perfection, as was the chips. I would really recommend you try them

The fish and chip were lovely. The fish was one of the freshest I've had and the chips were outstanding.

Great Fish and Chip shop .. good choice of food ! Good service ... always fast at serving and fresh food

Lovely girls serving and cooking fresh cod in front of us and brought it into a small eating area at the back . I can honestly say her cooking of the fish was the best I've had in a long time and as she said she's only 19 !!! Definitely recommend

Food was rubbish. The chips had clearly been re-heated in the fryer 2 or3 times and were nearly burnt, the gravy and curry sauces were lumpy and lukewarm. I will not be returning.

We had takeaway fish and chips and they were brilliant. The fish was succulent and the chips were cooked just right. Usually we are disappointed when we have fish and chips out because the chips are usually very pale or hard. Not here, we will be having a takeaway again next week The place was clean and the staff lovely.

Fab fish great curry good range of food always press always clean and hygienic when you go in

10 of us for tea. Spotless and delicious. Fabulous fish n chips. Overlooking the park. Thank you. 🎉😀

Had fish and chips today Sunday....fish really nice. But didn't really want chips left over from day before.....fried up hard n greasy. Pity because we've always gone here.

Absolutely amazing food. Happy, friendly staff. I had a small fish & chips with beans and my daughter had battered sausage (not on the menu but they made it on request) and chips as a kids meal all comes in a kids box with drink and a toy. If we were local we would definitely be back. Thank you

A very good menu and with the choice as to whether to take away or eat in. The eat in menu comes with tea and bread and butter as well! Well worth a visit

Quite simply the best fish and chips in the area. You can’t get better if you tried. Karl’s has been established for some time now taking over from the original fish and chip shop. Thing have moved on of course and you don’t get your food in newspaper lol but Karl’s is good food, well cooked, fresh, hot and good portion size. You will not be disappointed.

Went in with a large group of people all with different orders but the service team were unflappable, good humoured and polite. All our orders were cooked perfectly which was a miracle . Well done , a great place to eat traditional fish and chips.

Worst fish and chips we have ever had. God only knows what they were fried in but it was pretty nasty. Had to throw away and re buy other food, even our dog wouldn't eat them.

Went here yesterday £5.99 for a dinner box got two of them for wife and kids 2 thighs and 1 leg in each got gravy which was tasteless and the chips were the worst I've ever eaten I know it's fast food but make an effort stay away from this place

Quite a que with a few big orders, staff friendly and efficient, although we had to wait due to big orders before me staff were friendly and efficient. They were not only dealing with the takeaway but the small cafe as well. The fish was fresh cooked and batter beautiful and crisp. Would highly recommend

We would highly recommend Karl's! We were staying at the haven site nearby and travelled out to get these delicious fish and chips!

Called to get something for tea. Several people waiting but the guy serving was on his own but working at top speed in a very friendly and cheerful manner. More people came in but he didn't get flustered and produced the most delicious food, freshly made. Very impressed with him.

Extensive options for chicken and chips. Reasonable prices / cheap. Polite staff.

My review says it all really! Always freshly cooked fish, and lovely chips, have never been disappointed. Staff are always friendly too.

Always go here for Fish And Chips if in the area then drive down to the local beach to eat them. Fish is absolutely superb. Staff don't seem over friendly but just do their job Young ones always having a laugh and the fish are cooked pretty much to order so they are not sat in the warmer going hard. Chips not dry either.

Food is cooked fresh and is always clean staff are always friendly

Popped in for chips to go with lunch this week. Did have to wait for them to be cooked but worth the wait as the portion size was generous and cooked perfectly

Great traditional fish and chip shop with a decent sized cafe attached, If you can get the battered Fishcake ... Do it!!! crunchy until the last bite absolutely delicious ..

Went there today and had fried chicken strips and chips. The chicken was delicious and cooked to perfection! Crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle! The chips were good too! Would definitely go back again :)

Visited here with my mother and can honestly say it was the best fish and chips Ive had in a long time! Food was cooked fresh to order and Staff were friendly and welcoming, would highly recommend.

Reasonable food, staff were miserable, no please or thanks. Portions were small for the price, had just as good portion in restaurants for the same money.

Chicken and chips are always nice and they offer a 5% discount card for regular customers which is great. Busy at school break times but generally quick.

Pollo y patatas fritas son siempre agradables y ofrecen una tarjeta de descuento del 5% para clientes habituales, lo cual es estupendo. Gente a veces descanso escolar pero generalmente rápido.

Yo vivo en la zona y la comida aquí era realmente agradable y sabroso, el personal era amable y cortés, y el "fish and chips" tenía un alto nivel de higiene, volveré aquí cuando quiero tratar yo de nuevo

Utterly disgusting. Raw hard chips with a fish coated in an undercooked yellow greasy batter that was revoltingly mushy. I really wouldn't have fed it to my worst enemy so I certainly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and I definitely will never return. I'm only rating it as terrible because there isn't a lower rating available.

Attended a few times during my working week for lunch - and I was not disappointed! I'd have a fried chicken meal deal, which was impeccable. I cannot comment on other produce, but the chicken was freshly fried and very enjoyable.

Absolutely delicious, proper home made fish and chips, the fish was enormous and everything was very well cooked and fresh..... wouldn't think twice about going again ....

All cooked fresh to order and served with a smile. Good value for money and in the centre of Prestatyn would recomend to anyone with an appetite, good portions too.

Just popped in for a quick meal but was very impressed with their very tasty chicken indeed would definitely recommend and chips are equally fantastic. Portion sizes are just amazing. Great value for money.

Even though said on line open till ten.... shop doors were open at 8.55pm, but girl said the shop was closed!! Friday hours meant it should have been open till 22.00pm

I had never tried the chicken from here until my dad brought some home last night for his tea and it was that good I had to steal it! Would definitely recommend

was in a rush and they served tasty warm food very fast!!!!! will come again soon because I loved the customer service and the food

Went to karls on the high street and will definitely be visiting again, greeted by happy friendly staff and the food was cooked fresh, the chicken is amazing...well worth a visit!!!!

I came to Prestatyn after visiting from Birmingham and found this chip shop...it was amazing!The food was tasty and freshly cooked- The chicken is full of flavour! The service was exceptional. Staff were friendly and we're willing to answer any questions I had!I will be using it everytime I go, the staff have amazing customer service and very friendly :) 5 stars :)

Superb staff, all food is cooked to order, with the best chicken burger in North Wales. Fish is just amazing.What can I say, its a weekly must visit for my mom and I.Keep up the excellent work.

I called in wanting to eat fish with a chip batch. Fish tasted great. Will call in again when passing.

Nice and friendly staff. Didn't have to wait long for food and chicken was very tasty. We will be going back.

Excellent fish and chips ,and always nice and clean and very friendly staff the young girl is always very polite would recommend it to anyone

Enjoy coming here for our Friday night dinner friendly staff who constantly remember their regulars, they have good portion control and understand how I like it. Would defiantly recommend!!

Have visited frequently and have never been let down, staff are always friendly and more than willing to help. There is a great atmosphere and a wide selection of food. Always good quality at good prices, would definitely recommend.

Myself and a couple friends regularly visited every Wednesday, and every time the food was perfect! Definitely recommend it!

I'm a regular to Karls as I work across the road and I couldn't fault the food, it's my favourite place to go for food. The chicken is amazing x

I popped in after work to grab supper for the family and ordered a range of items. Very pleased, the chips were nice and not soggy, the batter on the fish lovely and crispy and the hot wings were better than KFC.The staff were friendly too, so definitely going to Karl's now every time we are having a fish and chip supper night :)

Visited with 3 children. We were allowed to pay by card which made things easier. Bought 3 kids meals plus fish, chips and peas (and gravy for me). Very tasty.

Went here for lunch with a friend and my parents, to be honest I did not want to go but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were great and the food was hot, cooked well and delicious. would definately go again.

I now regularly visit this place to get my chicken fix. I always go to KFC in Rhyl to satisfy the craving. I really wanted chicken this one day and KFC was way too far just for food so I went out on a whim and tried Karl's fish and chicken. The food was and still is outstanding and I no longer go anywhere else for my dinner. The only bad thing is when I have no money and I can smell the gorgeous food drifting over to my place of work. I never have had anything wrong with my food, it's constantly on point. The staff are always friendly and nice to talk to and I look forward to my next 5 piece variety.

Don't usually leave reviews but I've been to both of Karls chippies in Prestatyn and have to say they do great food. Had 2 snack boxes (£1.99 each for 1 piece of chicken and chips) from their high St shop today and my partner had the fish and chips, both freshly cooked, 4 min wait, and both very tasty. When we're in town we use karls for lunch all the time.

Friendly hard working staff who care about their customers. Fish is always cooked well, chips are tasty and the mushy peas are fab.

We visit regularly as a family due to the fact it's the best chippy in north wales ! Friendly staff and fresh food that's always well cooked and well presented ! Good value for money and very clean. The new open font with bar style stools is an added bonus .

Lovely tasting chicken, beautifully cooked chips. The staff where really welcoming, definitely going back for seconds !!

Definitely the best fish and chip shop in the area!!! All Staff are so pleasant and helpful and service with a smile!!!! Food was delicious really enjoyed it!! 5 stars!!!

Excellent freshly cooked food - pleasant staff - well worth a visit - snack boxes are recommended and just the right portion for a lunch time meal

Little bit of a wait but to have it cooked in front of you is a bonus. Nice and fresh with decent amount of chips.

Decided to treat myself to a large haddock from Karl's. It was disgusting dried up and anything but fresh, will definitely not be making a return visit and I only live about 500 mtrs. from the shop I will gladly travel to obtain better quality. The lady that served me has been there for quite some time, she must have known that she was cooking an old piece of fish...my dog ate the few better pieces.
