Macs Fish & Steak Bar in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

This is the best fish and chip shop (with the most varied menu I have seen in any fish and chip shop) The most amazing chips are coated in what seems to be a very light batter. The online ordering is easy to use. I have always found the staff to be helpful and courteous even when the shop is very busy. Thank you Greg and Lou and please keep up the amazing puddings.

Lovely food, hot and plenty of choice, including vegetarian options. Will be back ! Chips came in three sizes which was great.

OMG, we sat in the restaurant and ordered large fish & chips as you do, they were absolutely beautiful, large fish over the plate, beautiful chips, nice and hot too, excellent service, very clean can’t beat that, definitely worth going back.

Excellent fish and chips with great choice and great service, best in the West!! All cooked to order, so fresh, crispy chips and beautifully flaky fish! Scrummy!!

Excellent fish and chips with eat in option. Very nice hake in batter and always freshly cooked. Also very happy with the takeaway dog sausages so our furry family members are not left out.

Best fish and chips I've ever had. Kind and personable staff, too. Judging by the crowds (for takeout, not dine in) this is extremely popular with the locals.

Friendly service, decent portions, excellent pricing. We always go for the catch of the day with chips and it is the best around. Everything crispy, never soggy.

Great place, lovely, polite staff, quick service, great food, not had chips like these before, well worth a try and I’ll certainly be back, lovely fluffy chips with sprinkles of crispy batter. Burger and onion rings great too. Reasonable prices. You can eat in too.

Fish and Chips at its best, with both cod and haddock served with a wonferful dry batter. The chips are probably the best you can get anywhere

Best chippyaround here *(and further) for value, service and quality. Food is beautifully cooked, and there is a choice of locally landed seafood on the menu. Chips are crisp but not dry... melt in the mouth. Puddings are satisfyingly tasty and filling. Staff are friendly, polite and helpful. Management go out of their way to look after customers. The Web pre-order system means you never need to wait. The service area and counters are kept spotless and uncluttered. The equipment is clean and modern. Highly recommended. Eat your heart out Rick Stein.

We have just had the best piece of haddock and lovely crispy chips. I’m sure there’s no one to beat them in England.

Heard lots of good things about this place so had to visit & wasn’t disappointed. The chips are the best I’ve ever tasted. The fish was beautiful & fresh and the batter was a good consistency. Definitely going back here

Visited here today while staying in Redruth. We had cod and chips and steak and kidney pie and chips. Was so good, chips were amazing as was the fish. Would recommend highly

The best fish and chips we have EVER had!! We live in a seaside town in Dorset, so we have had our fair share of fish and chips, but the food here beats everything we have eaten! Service was quick, with super friendly staff. The food was all really hot and freshly cooked. The quality of the food was outstanding and the portions were huge! You MUST visit here if you are in the area or in search of the best fish and chips of your life! We will be back! Thankyou :-)

Absolutely 1st class. Ordered for the family including cod, chips, cod roe, sausage in batter, curry sauce... the food was fresh, tasted amazing, we are really impressed. Having tried the rest (including Porthtowan) for several years, we were always disappointed. So this was refreshing. Greg & Lous beats the rest by a mile. I saw Greg & Lou's chip shop on Cornwall Live as one of the top chip shops in Cornwall as rated by the public. We will NOT go anywhere else now. The food is really good. The staff are lovely. The shop is spotless & i also found out you can eat in! You will not be disappointed with this chippy. I give them 5*.

Hands down my favourite fish and chips. Fish is light and cripsy, chips soft inside and ever so lightly battered on the outside. Consistently high quality every time I visit. The staff are always efficient and organised so service is always smooth! What more do...

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had! Superb service with a friendly smile. Not sure how the chips are cooked but they’re not the normal bland rubbish I’ve been used to from all previous chippies. They’re more like chip-shaped roughed-up roast potatoes - fantastic! Both...

Fantastic friendly service, food was outstanding, loved it and would recommend in a heartbeat never had fish and chips as nice

Needed a big order for 9. Picked this after reading reviews for what's around and glad we did. Ordered online and turned up to find a reasonable size car park. Efficient execution of order and sustainably packaged. Fish and chips excellent, as were mushy peas....

Whilst looking for Fish & Chips tonight stumbled across this little gem, we have been in Cornwall for a week as holiday visitors to the area. The family totally enjoyed the takeaway, Cod & chips, Pie & chips & Burger & chips and would recommend...

Fish was dry, chips were mediocre. Sadly was not up to expectations. First time we had been. Will be going back to the usual next week.

My wife and I had takeaway from here at lunch time fish chips and curry fish chips and peas. The in our opinion quality has put them back into the top fish and chips in the Redruth Falmouth, Helston area, many thanks.

Just had another great take out,yet again. Keep it up. Lovely seafood share box,great chips,Mrs enjoyed her veggie rolls,chips and curry sauce.

Can I say enough good things about this place? Probably not but I’ll try! Finding vegan fish and chip places is hard. Whether they cook chips in beef fat, or fry with the fish, it’s a challenge getting good sexy chips. Greg and Lous not...

This is the third chippy we’ve tried, always on the lookout whilst on holiday in Porthtowan. It’s a little expensive but the best fish and chips I’ve had in the area so worth the money. Handmade cod fish cake was the best my partner had...

Haven't visited here for ages and did not disappoint. The best fish and chips anywhere in my opinion. The cod was cooked to perfection and no soggy batter, chips superb as always. This was our first takeaway since lockdown and was well worth the wait....

Found this amazing place on a one night stop over, we were not disappointed. Online ordering was a great idea, really easy. Food was waiting for us in allocated time slot, felt really safe and well thought out. The food, was without doubt the best...

Coming out of lockdown, we had not had fish and chips for ages and the online ordering is easy and the food even tastier. Our favourite fish and chips- awesome!

THE best fish and chips locally by far. As used by locals. Can't recommend highly enough. Vegans also supported very well.

If there's a better fish and chip shop, I've never been there. The food is superb, the speed of service would put McDonalds to shame. I know the secret of how they cook those chips, but won't reveal it here or they'll have to kill...

I have been coming to this chip shop since I was a child. Now with a family of my own it's still my favourite. We don't have a takeaway that often but I always come here even when rest of family choose pizza. Its usually...

Went for the first time since it was 'Macks'. Really thought it wouldn't be as nice because places normally aren't when they change hands. Portion was a bit small but other than that the fish and chips were lovely

Visited a few days after they reopened after a refurbishment. The menu has had an extensive overhaul, making it much more accessible to people of a veggy and vegan persuasion whilst keeping all the usual favourites you'd expect. It was reassuring to see that most...

Only discovered this place a few months ago. Very glad I did! . Now whenever I have a chippy I will go out of my way to get them from here everytime. Reasonably priced. Taste amazing everytime, great crispy chips. Always cooked well and quick...

Want excellent fish and chips? Go to mack's. Although you may need to wait because of the queue, its worth the wait!

I visited back in September and left a outstanding review as the fish was cooked to perfection And tonight's meal was also outstanding Great staff and outstanding fish and chips Congratulations you definitely have the magic touch Hope to see you again soon

Called in last night for fish and chips in the restaurant as we usually do if down that way and wasn’t disappointed again lovely meal with nice staff and lovely bright and clean surroundings the cod and chips were cooked to perfection I would recommend...

This is a really good chippy lovely staff really friendly always get greated with a smile and I have very fussy kids and they won't eat from any other chippy they do the best chips I have ever had and I always get a good...

It’s always busy here and no wonder why, their fish and chips are delicious. The serving staff work like the wind whilst remaining friendly and focused. Well worth a visit

Been going there for far more years than I can remember, and I have to agree with other reviews the chips have taken a turn for the worst, to the point they are burnt up hard bits and you have to pick a few out...

Been coming to Macks for as long as I can remember and have never had a bad one until the other day. Nothing wrong with the fish but the chip portion was so small and the chips were no way as nice as they used...

Family over from the States and they just went crazy for these fish and chips ...they ordered them at least 3 times whilst they were here.

All's I can say is outstanding We had fish and chips here last night I had large cod and chips and I can't remember when I had a bit of cod cooked to perfection like this was It tasted great Thank you Next time I'm...

These chips are the best I have ever had .the fish is amazing and the curry sauce to die for only used takeaway so far but cant fault at all only say go try you will be amazed

Its been a while since we visted and the onwership/manager seems to have changed The car park is as tricky as ever but service was swift and efficient Good tasty food with generous portion sizes, quite an extensive menu too Recommended

Went here for Saturday night dinner with a mate, and sat in their spacious and really clean restaurant. It’s obvious by the busy nature of the car park and takeaway booth it’s a popular place. And very quickly we saw why... Friendly service for starters,...

Jumped on trip advisor to find a well rated chip shop local to Porthtowan. This place had high reviews and we can see why. The restaurant is simple but clean and the staff were kind and attentive. There was a good selection of food and...

After looking on trip advisor trying to decide where to get a fish & chip takeaway we decided on Macks. Glad we did, the food was unbelievable. Large portions and well cooked and it goes to show if the chef is eating the food you...

Excellent, top quality fish and chips, at a fair price. Particularly good, crisply-fried chips. Glad I found this place!

My first visit to this restaurant. You can book a table and this is advisable as it is gets very busy. The staff are helpful and friendly. There is a good selection of food - especially fish. There are quite a number of desserts on...

Beautiful fish and chips, the chips are crispy and yet fluffy and their batter is crispy and light. Service was excellent with lovely staff. Best we've had in ages

The best fish and chips, burgers, sausages and many other items they serve. My 10month old had some fish and chips for the first time tonight and absolutely loved it!

We love the fish and chips from Mack's they are slightly different because the chips have a light crispy coating. The fish is always cooked to perfection and the portions are large. The staff are always friendly and efficient, so even when it is busy...

The best fish and chips I have had for a very long time. Every mouthful was superb. I'll most certainly recommend to anyone wanting a great F&C supper. Great value for money.

Have been coming here for absolute years. Haven't found a better chippy yet. Unfortunately I live a little far out now so sometimes have to visit other chippys to then generally be disappointed and wish I'd driven to Macks!

Always generous portion size crispy fish and chips. Chips battered then fried. Good range of other stuff as well.

What a joy, fish and chips can be really horrible, but my friend Antoinette took me there and it was just great. The fish/portion were more then generous, with a nice crispy, fluffy batter, perfectly cooked and not greasy at all. The chips were perfect,...

I’ve just been and ordered codrow and chips but no batter on the cod row which was no trouble for the two chefs X The two young ladies who served me could not have been more helpful and professional Ps the food was great Thanks

Always have good food from here the cod is always well cooked, they are normally at least reasonably busy so in my experience food is constantly cooked and over the counter quickly, never had remotely dry cod ever. It is sometimes a case of being...

Got fish and chips from here tonight because my local was shut. What a waste of money and got to be the worst fish and chips i have ever had. Spent £27 and most of it went in the bin or to the dogs. Large...

We visit Macks nearly every week, and eat in the restaurant. The fish of the day deal is £7.00. An absolute bargain, huge fish, and either curry sauce, mushy peas or, bread and butter included as well as a hot drink. We travel 12 miles...

I went to Macks chip shop today and joined a queue of about 4 - 5 people in this time I seen multiple people walk through the door straight to the counter and get served instantly upon enquiring I was told there was a queue...

Best chip shop in Redruth, they also have a cafe out the back you can go sit in. They do a steamed fish option for those who are gluten free too.

chips here are done in beef dripping so totally delicious,fast service and never been disapointed,good portions and lovely white fresh fish,ten out of ten

I smelled my way to your fish and chip restaurant I was going to get a pasty but my noses directed me to your fish and chip restaurant but unfortunately you had just closed but came later when you opened I went back later and...

Fish and chips were good but the service took a very long time and it was very expensive for two "large" fish and chips.

Very Rarely had a bad experience here in the many times I have been Definitely the best chips I have ever had, and the burgers are delicious. Highly recommended

This is a lovely place to eat. In our case Fish and chips. They were very tasty and great value especially the Fish of the day deal. Deserts were also very reasonably priced. You do now have to book to dine in the restaurant of...

Popped into Mac's Restuarant only by the off chance as not booked and managed too get a table. Gave this Resturant 5 star as the staff were very friendly and helpful. Good efficient service and the food was delicious. Will definately be returning and recommend...

Having had a couple of takeaways from here before, we decided to sit in on friday 7th September. The food was amazing to taste, the portions just right and very reasonably priced. We didnt wait very long at all for the food, and the customer...

We were camping nearby and happened to stop here for lunch. Oh my days, the chips are to die for. I don't know what they do but all were golden and crispy. We have found the best chippy by far! We'll 100% be back next...

Camping near Redruth, and found this gem of a place. Had an amazing take away of fish and chips, not tasted anything like this before,mother were fabulous. Wish our local fish and chip shop knew how to cook like these guys! Thank you 🙂

We recently visited family in redruth and visited twice while we were there. The first time we ate in the restaurant the service was excellent and the food was amazing freshly cooked a good variety of dishes not just normal chip shop food, good size...

We had a family meal in the restaurant area. Great chips and we all had something different, veggie burger, sausage, steak and fish, all were perfect. The table service was very good. Good value, Highly recommended.

Used to always go to morrish's but was reccomended Mack's and it certainly didn't disappoint. The cod was delicious and perfectly cooked and the chips were out of this world. Had a really great crunch to them. Will be coming here again.

Just had fish and chips from here,normally really good but not today,fish overcooked and the chips were mostly crunchy and less off.

Ordered a takeaway over the phone and it was ready to collect 20 mins later. Everything was hot and tasty. Not greasy and batter super crispy. Probably my favourite chippy in the area!

Visited 15/6 with my partner and decided to eat in. The hake was recommended and didn’t disappoint. My partner had the haddock which was enormous. All beautifully cooked and presented. The home made tartare sauce was fantastic. The young lad who served us was knowledgeable...

Omg the best chips around hake is also the best and the curry sauce is to die for we have never been disappointed yet well done all staff xx

Best Fish and Chips for miles around. Every now and then at Dales we 'Chip Friday' from Macks. Phone your order through and collect at 12.30, all ready for lunch .....Amazing, we never go anywhere else....unless its Pasty Friday!

If you want slow slow service overcooked and cold chips which have been reheated and are so cruchy greasy fish curry sauce so thin you can see through this is the place for you it's absolutely rubbish

Amazing value for money Generous portion sizes Lovely and friendly staff Great service And the food is amazing Highly recommend there steaks

We visited the restaurant this evening. A quirky homely jewel in the crown . Excellent food reasonably priced attentive staff . Surprised you can bring your own alcohol. Highly recommend give macs a try you will not be disappointed you fish & chip lovers ....

Myself and my partner came here after being recommended by the owners of the cottage we were staying in close by. We went for a take out as they also have a restaurant. We were served pretty much straight away and both had cod and...

The fish is excellent. Fresh and flaky, perfectly cooked. The chips are something else! They are slightly battered giving them a crisp outer and soft inner. To die for.

We are regulars to this restaurant but on this occasion the visit was exceptional. We arrived without booking initially to be told that no table was available....but as we left a senior staff member advised us that in just a few minutes they could free...

Best fish and chips for miles around, Macks is always busy so can be longish queues but well worth the wait. There is an extensive menu and the staff are friendly an efficient There is free car parking at the side of the shop. Highly...

Bloody lovely fish and chips!!! Was driving through redruth and had a craving for fish and chips found this place and wow !!

Been here often, service is fast ,staff are polite and good humoured , really well run family business and the food is one off a kind ,the fish is the best i have tasted , chips are to die for and the steak is melt in the mouth. Good value and always enough on your plate to satisfy .Will recommend to all my friends and family. Thank you

Great fish and chips, generous size portions and I really like the batter on the chips. Friendly staff and prompt service. Would definitely recommend!

Just had a lovely meal in the restaurant, food always good . Love the new look in the restaurant. The staff are friendly and service is quick even when they are really busy . Really worth a visit if you tasty freshly cooked food .

I have to admit I normally avoid visiting this takeaway, it has never been to my taste however my partner called in and picked up fish and chips on a Wednesday evening. He didn't have to wait, he brought them home and they were still hot. Half way through i asked him where he had got them from when he told me I was very surprised! We both throughougly enjoyed our meals, nothing like how I remembered it. Needless to say I will not be avoiding in the future.

How is it possible to improve your fish & chips? I have been a customer for just over a year and I am always impressed by everything about Macks. The fish & chips really are the best I can remember. There is often a queue but this is indicative of the popularity of the place and anyway, the staff react swiftly to get everyone served really quick. The girls are always quick to take my order and are always very pleasant and personal as is the owner, I believe, a lady called Lou? She is a dream, always has time for a greeting and a lovely smile. So in answer to my question, it’s not possible to improve. Well done.

We hadn't had fish and chips from here in a long while, mostly because there is usually a queue whenever we've thought of getting them and neither of us likes queueing.

Fantastic food - freshly cooked to order and tasted lovely. Fast, friendly service despite there being twelve of us and some not being able to decide what to eat! This place is now a firm favourite with us.

Had lunch here and it was lovely . Fish and chips were well cooked and we had a set menu of Fish and Chips and peas and a drink for £6.

I placed a telephone order which was excepted as I only have a 30 minute lunch break, when I arrived and asked for my order the staff member told me they were busy and I'd have to wait for possibly 30 minutes! Obviously I didn't have time for this so had to rush around the town for another supplier. If you cannot fulfil your orders don't take them! Very unprofessional! The quality of my replacement food was exceptional so will not be returning.

This place use to be a Firm favourite of my father's and the family but unfortunately over the last 12 months this place has gone downhill massively!

We have eaten in the restaurant a couple of times but mainly fish and chips to take away. We sometimes order in advance. The chips have a crunchy coating and stay like this for ages not like the limp or stale chips you get in some shops. The batter on the fish stays crisp and the fish is always fresh. We usually have a coleslaw and that is really nice and creamy. We travel five miles each way to Macks and wouldn't do this if it wasn't worth it.

This is such an amazing chippy. The chips are super and the portions are massive. Their menu is extensive and has a good selection for vegetarians. Also has its own parking which makes it super convenient.
