Another fantastic Catch of The Day - Fish Tea,, the service was wonderful the young man couldn't be more helpful and is an asset to your staff. We have tried fish teas in other restaurants and there is no comparison to McMonagles, we are never disappointed, the key being beautiful fresh fish..Thank You for another lovely lunch.

I went to this 'Board Chippie' as my grandson aged 3 called it with my daughter, grandson and granddaughter (9 months). It was a nostalgic visit for us. When my daughter was very young (30 years ago) her gran would take her there occasionally for chips and ice cream when she was shopping in Clydebank. She had told my grandson the dory and he asked to see it. We visited on 19th March about noon. The restaurant is immaculate. There are stairs and a lift to take you into the main eating place. The takeaway section is on the ground level. We headed upstairs and immediately my grandson's attention was grabbed by the fish tank. The lady in charge took us to a table with space for the pram at the side without disturbing any other diners. My grandson was delighted to be given a menu with pictures and crayons to play with. The staff weee just lovely. Attentive (without being obtrusive) and friendly towards the children. We had a lovely lunch. Of course my grandson wanted chips (well he was in a chippie boat after all). My daughter had Haddock and chips which came with bread and butter and I had the Senior Haddock which came with tea/coffee and bread and butter. The portions were very generous . My daughter had 2 large fish on her plate and a large portion of chips. I had one fish and lots of chips all freshly made. A perfect portion for me. The batter was crispy and everything was just delicious. Having this at lunchtime was not usual for us but it was such a treat. The bill came to £30 which included soft drinks for my daughter and grandson as well as a buttered roll. Excellent value. My grandson loved the fact that he was on a 'boat' but did ask questions as to why it didn't move. lol There is a toilet and baby changing facility on the same level as the restaurant and toilets downstairs. There is also a seating area outside on the grass with picnic tables. Will be lovely in the summer weather. I can heartily recommend McMonagles: the staff are friendly and efficient. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is delicious and freshly made. 10/10. Thank you to everyone. We had a lovely experience. This is an institution in Clydebank and

Great chippie, good portions and the prices of the food are reasonable. The staff are friendly and cheery. The takeaway is always clean and bright. You don't need to wait long on your order, except when you are getting it delivered, which can take a while. Can't comment on the restaurant area as we haven't been to it for a long time.

We went for an impromptu fish tea in the McMonagles boat . The most delicious fish &chips I have ever eaten by far. Crisp batter with big flakey fish steamed in the batter to perfection. Delicious chips , a pot of mushy peas and a jug of curry sauce. I had fish of the day and the portion was enormous. Staff are all lovely . Take time to read about the boat at your table , the owner will happily chat to you about their venture of having her built for them. Great wee place to eat

Way too expensive. In 2 years its went from 10 pounds, to 13 pounds, to a staggering 15.25 for the catch of the day, that's just sheer greed and a rip off, in Blackpool you get the same and haddock for 5.95, plus less chips now as well at Mcmonagles, I'm not short of money but I simply refuse sheer greed and being ripped off, after many years myself and friends I recommended this place to from Upnorth will simply not be back

This is broadly a really good takeaway (appreciate you can dine in but I've never had the notion to). There's oodles of parking and a visit is a novelty as it's built on the canal to resemble a boat. The menu is extensive (inc gluten free) but it's a treat because it is quite expensive (like everything these days). The cod is amazing and I wouldn't buy it anywhere else. No bones at all which is my fear with eating fish. Delivery, if you choose it, is good but can take time (90 mins sometimes) and its quite costly. My only tiny gripe is they never season your order when it's home delivery.

Don't answer their phones when they screw up an order. Service abominal, food hit or a miss depending on who is frying. It's Clydebank, with Clydebank attitudes, don't expect anything more or as nice as you'd get almost anywhere else in Scotland.

Been many times and it's always been decent but this time when I asked for halal as I usually do, the girl said they're waiting on fresh fish but only took ten mins. Always ask for extra salt and vinegar and this time it was bang on. The fish was light and crispy, full of flavour and not drenched in oil. Chips were much better than usual too. Hope it's like this every time!

The 3 waiting staff where all lovely & attentive. Service with a smile & wee bit of banter from the young lad! Place was spotlessly clean. Haddock was cooked to perfection, nice colour plenty of crisp & bubbly batter & 2 slices so good portions. The steak pie had a delicious rich greavy with plenty of beef chunks, pot of peas & large serving of chips. Again nice colour on the pastry lid & cook thoroughly right through no mushy undercooked layers on the bottom. The Cod was a large thick meaty steak with the same golden brown bubbly batter & not a bone in the whole steak. We all ate well & where defeited by the portion sizes.

Popped in for the first time after seeing the boat a few times, firstly the warm welcome as we came in was great. We quickly got seated and ordered. I had the catch of the day which was fantastic, chips were good and mushy peas were nice but the fish.......oh baby, juicy chunks by the forkful, a nice amount of batter on it, no void space or chunks of batter instead of fish. This was an excellent serving and tops my current list of favourites. My girlfriend had the chicken Balmoral and it was also very nicely done, I sampled a bit of the chicken and it was delicious. I highly recommend anyone to come try the boat chippy, service is excellent and it is very clean and the food is excellent. I will definetly be back and I'll be recommending others to go too. 👌👍😁
