Mike's Chippy in Southampton

I asked for a portion of chips and got a inedible lot of scraps fish was ok but the chips yuk

I got off a cruise and went to our Air BnB with the intention of getting some great local fish and chips after days of eating typical “cruise cuisine”. Walking around, I found Mike’s, and thought, “if you’re going to have just a fish and chip shop to go, you must be doing something right!” Jimmy, the owner, cooked my order fresh and I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a larger filet, with so many chips, for such a reasonable price. Jimmy’s quite the character and the food is amazing! If you’re in the area, drop by for a great meal!

the girls that work there are great

Tonight I was served by a young lady who was quite glamorous for the job she did, she gave me very average service, she was quite cautious of me as a person despite the fact I made my order for for fish and chips. When confirming the price of how much to pay she did not say Please. Yet when she was seen serving other customers like couples and a man before me she was very civil and bought personality into her service style. Split personality. Personally everyone should be afforded the same treatment in customer service but the problem is local and regular customers seem to be afforded respect but someone who is not local is treated like a robot. Yet this is how she came across. I'm sure she would be surprised if she received that kid of stand of ISH service in return. The only plus points were the ok quality fish and chips and Mike's friendly welcome.

Food is always cooked fresh while you wait. Friendly staff. I always have a good read of the business cards on the wall.

Been getting my fish and chips here for as long as I can remember. Always been fabulous. The owner is possibly the nicest guy you can meet

that conor a great lad, works hard mush deffo deserves a pay rise (would say £9.50 ph min). #toplad #topgrafter !!!!

Chips was very oily and greasy and the fish i ate gave me food poisoning and after I ate them all I was puking all night due to the fish and chips i ate from this shop.

Nothing to write home about. It's a fish and chip shop. Which sales lovely fish and chips. 👅👅

The best fish and chips I've had since I skipped the boring

Beautiful chips and great service

Always friendly, lovely fresh food and really delicious. Fair pricing too.

Always had great fish and chips from here, never a bad experience.. Cooked fresh, and mike the owner a great guy

Best chips in Southampton!! Always enjoy a small chips and fish cake for lunch now and again 👌🏼

Chips were dried up as though they'd been there for ages .not fresh at all.very disappointed

Great service! Staff are really welcoming. Portions are great size and it’s great value for money. Would highly recommend.

Always generous portions of fish and chips and a merry welcome 👌

Been coming to Jim up the castle for over 20 years amazing place amazing bloke the foods always spot on and will be back time and time again love it cheers Jim

Awful, chips very poor pie cheap and nasty overall better chippys around.

Best fish and chip shop in Southampton without doubt. Jimmy the owner is great too, from food to customer service everything is 10/10.

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had … staff are so friendly and welcoming, and it’s great value for money… definitely will be going back again soon

Travelled to Southampton to visit my son and his wife. Had the pleasure of dinner from Mike's Chippy. Fabalous food, great value for money, served by the friendly man I have ever meet.

Service with a smile. Delicious food and lovely staff!

Very tasty food and reasonably priced

The best fish & chips locally. Never disappointed with the quality of the food or the portions! And the staff are always very welcoming. Excellent!!!!

Amazing fresh food served with a smile always. Never had a bad meal there and the portions are great sizes. Would highly recommend

Delicious is all I can say, best fish & chips around and always served with a smile on their face.

Excellent service 👏 food amazing

Great service ..lovely chips... excellent fish ...crisp batter

Its a shame the owner has been running a good community chippy but last nights large fish was disappointing as it was mostly batter and not fish. When charging £6.50 for a large fish you would expect some fish. Chips ok The menu has never been updated in the many years I have lived here. Overall seen better days

great chips and battered sausage, all i’ve ever had but perfecto 👍🏻.. super customer service too which always a massive boost.. we will be back that’s for sure!!

If I'm lazy then I go here because it's closer. It's alright.

Having been told by neighbours to try Mikes. We live local to Mikes Chippy but have not had fish & Chips from him for a considerable time . One large Cod and one plaice with chips were superb and very enjoyable. We will definitely visit again.

We go to Mike's chippy for years now and it's always freshly cooked nice piece of fish. Chips are tasty and always more then we can eat. Great local place.

Food was excellent served in a friendly polite atmosphere.

I’ve Been coming to mike’s chippy now since 2003 and till this day my go to chippy. Brilliant food and amazing staff highly recommended 5 star

Love Mike's chippy, never go anywhere else! Food always hot and fresh, nice portion sizes and very friendly staff.

Was my chip shop when I went to school so was like a walk down memory lane and really nice chips.

Best OAP cod and chips around. My dad loves it there. e

Been coming here for a while but cannot tolerate the disgusting chips any more. They are vile so have given up .sorry but will not be back..

Best chippy around always freshly cooked, been using Mike's Chippy for over 20 years and have no intention to change.

Great atmosphere friendly staff welcoming and food lovely nothing is to much. Very good selection. Will also cook anything for you, if you don’t mind waiting for a short period.

Great fish & Chips good value for money good variety friendly service recommend

Really really disappointed with the meal I had this evening.(I wrote this on Friday but reviewed the wrong chip shop) I’ve been craving a chippy for weeks and this was shocking. My partner had fish,chips and mushy pea while I had battered sausage, chips and curry sauce. The only thing that was nice was the mushy peas! The battered on my sausage was like leather, I’ve never had anything like it. Thick white raw batter on the inside? With a dry sausage in the middle. My partners fish was soggy and really really fishy in taste. Worst fish and chips I’ve ever had! :(

Good size, fair price, good flavour

Chips are foul cooked in old oil i suspect 😅 🤔

1st time we have been here. Was good to see a chippy open in Lockdown. But not when the chips are cooked in Old Oil

Nice fresh chips and friendly service, would recommend!

Cold chips, old oil, cold curry sauce. Half the fish was nice the rest really crispy at the end. Disappointing.

Best Chippy in Southampton, highly recommend

Great food, good value and friendly staff.

Awesome. I'm a local and come here alot. Great food and always a warm friendly welcome

Great , just as fish and chips should be.

Always good service and great fish & chips Fish cooked fresh, happy days 👍

Lovely food, never disappointed

Ordered food and it still wasn't ready! Had to wait ages. Won't go there again 😕

Alwauys does a lovely pensioners special.

Have to give it a one star because there's no zero

Nice food run by a Canadian man, it's a friendly place with a good selection of food.

Excellent chippy. The food is always great

I love this chippy. The fish and chips are lovely and the service is very good, reasonably quick and always very friendly. A really good local business rooted in the community.

Good tasting fish and chips. Quick service. Open late for being in a residential area.

Great tasting chippy one of best about in my opinion, fish is small though, not a lot of difference between a small an large but all portions are getting smaller no matter where you go.

The kids like this chippy they even pop up during their lunch break from school always nice and friendly cheers mike
