Morton's in Moyle

The best chicken burger (Large) I've had in 47 years. What a treat. A huge succulent fillet expertly fried in a fantastic light batter made with the deftness of touches then expertly built using fresh produce and a fantastic choice of floury bap. It was also served up by a lovely and welcoming team both FOH and BOH. The young chef was clearly proud of his work. And so he should be. Highly recommended. Conor

It was a bit of a disappointment when I ordered chicken goujons and chips, the chips were small and had a strange bite to them. The chicken goujojs however were amazing, they had lovely crispy batter and soft chicken, I would order them again. The staff were lovely however our food took longer than expected.

Cracking fish dinners here. Order a plate, and sea for yourself.

I ordered chicken nuggets and fries fries where really good amazing quality the right amount of crispness and potato although… The chicken nuggets were let me just say 6/10 Maybe just need to have more batter the service was amazing and workers were really kind Will definitely be going back I recommend

I always go for Fish and Chips when I've taken a trip to the sea and these didn't disappoint. 4.3 on Google, but easily a 4.7 or higher. Cooked fresh to order, clean, crisp and super tasty. Did my usual fish test, broke it in two, checked fat retention (low), batter thickness (lite), batter on bite (crisp), fish consistency (moist). Pretty much perfect.. Yes we had to wait, but all good things are worth waiting for. Certainly, one of the nicest Fish suppers I've had, and a definite if you're in Ballycastle. Incidentally, Ballycastle is my new favourite beach too 😁

always queue. very friendly staff. average fish. good sauces and peas. fries and onions were not crispy but rather soggy. relatively cheap.

Think this for me was a don't meet your heroes scenario. Was here last about 5 years ago and was buzzin to get back today. Value still not bad, fish still good, as was the pastie (if a little squishy), Chips however were really poor, clearly (to me), pre packed. My remembrance of Mortons was as the best chippie I've ever been to, sadly not any more.

One of the best fish and chip shops in the whole of Ireland I have ever been in people come from all around Ireland North and South and even Scotland it's that good a fish and chip shop top TV chiefs call in when they are in the area. Morton's is not just an ordinary chip shop that for sure as they have their own fleet of fishing boats and everything that they catch on the high seas they bring home and prepare it fresh and in their own shop kitchen straight on to your plate. So you can't get better than that can you.

This place has went extremely downhill over the years. Will definitely not be back nowhere near as good as it use to be , don't waste your time waiting for a minimum of 30mins for food that is not Fresh

I had the Cod Supper. Lovely light batter, good fish and great chips. Service is good, friendly and given that the fish is cooked to order pretty speedy. The complementary seating area is basic but clean. If you're in the area you can't go far wrong.

Scampis were frozen, not fresh. Chips were very soggy and tasteless. Fish was very average. Not worth the 30minute wait. Would try another chippy up the road next time instead.

Food was horrible chips must a been heated up a few times and burgers not worth the price at all

Over priced and over rated 1/4 steak burger not great at all and chips just alright

The 20 minute wait for 2 overcooked sausages & skimpy bag of chips which looked like they came out of a freezer just wasn't worth it & nothing to write home about. They also announce your name over a loud speaker outside to let you know your order is ready 😂 ballygobackward springs to mind.

Worst scampi I've ever eaten. Horrible!

Fish small, batter poor, chips few and old. For a large cod and large chip very poor in quality and far from cheap. Have tried in a few times over the last few years just in case I've been unlucky in what I've got. Conclusion. After 4 times all poor the message has got through. I have no idea why this place has the popularity it has. I must just be hugely unlucky each time I go there. Never again.

A nice place for fish and chips. There's plenty of seating available and the food was decent. The portions are quite large. My sisters split an order of the fish and chips and there was plenty to go around. I enjoyed the chicken goujon special, though it was a bit greasier than I prefer. Overall, a good place to stop for fish and chips along the North Coast.

Possibly the best take away or sit in fish n chips on the North Coast. Phone ahead and place your order or turn up and order, fairly large sit in building beside the chippy, located over looking the harbour and a stones throw away from the ferry terminal. Good menu, quite a few speciality dishes as well.

Over hyped, overpriced and underwhelming. Poor greasey fish. Chips are not fresh. Had better chips from a Chinese takeaway. Portion size does not justify the price.

Friendly staff and amazing food 😋

£4 for the smallest takeaway chips I’ve ever seen. They tasted ok but that’s a total rip off. I’ve put my hand in the photo to show the scale. I know costs have gone up but in Bushmills (Flash in the Pan) chips are £3.60 for 3x the size plus taste better & better service. Will definitely not come here again

Decent chippy, my only negative was that their vinegar seemed a bit bland but that's me nitpicking. Staff were friendly. Lengthy enough wait for food but it's to be expected given the popularity of the place and the time of day we visited. I would go again.

Today I purchased 3 curry chips and 3 cans of Coke and paid over £18. That wasn’t too much of an issue until I saw the portion size…ridiculous. Myself and my two children who are not particularly big eaters left hungry. Nice food but way overpriced. I will be going to one of Ballycastles numerous other chip shops in the future.

No idea where the ‘best fish and chips in the UK’ award comes from, because what I had (Cod supper £12) was extremely poor quality. Fish had huge bones in it which I nearly choked on, and the chips were barely edible - I think they must have been reheated frozen chips because they were so dry and rubbery you wouldn’t imagine you’d waited 30 minutes for them to be cooked freshly. I could name a handful of chippys with excellent quality fish and chips at half the price Morton’s are charging. I felt like I’d been conned and ripped off, and I would never waste my money there again.

Really great shop with the best fish and chips I've ever had. Excellent!!

Just had the best scampi and chips in a very long time. Definitely worth a visit to sit on the picnic tables at the harbour and enjoy the delicious food from Morton's.

Disgusting - over priced - went years ago used to be beautiful but will never be back - kids meal not fit for eating & chips disgusting £31.50 to feed the seagulls & still be hungry!

Got mini cod supper and pastie supper, good portions and very tasty. Would recommend. Not sure of pricing in some reviews as I found it reasonable. Maybe prices change during peak season.

Great for a picnic by the sea or sat in the car with a vast range of menu items something for everyone. Including chicken, loaded fries, burgers, prawns, scampi and yes fish. You place your order in a tiny shop and wait outside until your order is ready they shout your name on a tannoy. The average wait every time we go is 15-20 mins. They have a covered dining area across from the shop where you can sit with your takeaway on a bad weather day. Also they have a fresh fish shop which opens a fews hours a couple times a week to buy fish fresh and mussels etc.

Very friendly service. Got a chicken fillet burger. You get a choice of small or large. I got the small which I would say is just slightly smaller than the norm elsewhere. Price wise the burger was too cheap for the quality in my opinion. Could easily charge a £1 more. The chicken fillet burger was very tasty and I would highly recommend it. Great they also do a scoop of chips at a very reasonable price. Parking is okay with a number of public car parks very close by. If you go at lunchtime you also avoid the crowds.

Below average ordered extra large cod. Nothing extra large about. Average size you'd get in most chippies. And was £14.50. Also ordered large filet chicken burger. Mostly boast batter with really thin breast . Chips were nice . Pepper sauce nice . Definitely won't recommend or be back .

Ordered a fish and chips and scampi, was told it would be a 30 mins wait, which was no problem. An hour later we were still waiting, finally got our order and got it out to eat and found the batter was tough and the fish chewy and flavourless, really disappointed as this is the second time I’ve had a bad experience here and it’s going to be the final time as I won’t be back again.

Me and my Partner went to Morton’s. We had to queue for a little while to order then the girl at the till told us it would be 30 minutes wait, we ended up waiting for 55 minutes which I think it’s absolutely ridiculous. The food has clearly been sitting for a while, I order breaded scampi with chips, chips were soggy and greasy as for the scampi was also soggy and clearly not fresh. It was an awful experience don’t think I’ll be back.

Very small fish same for the burger chips cold half pineapple inBurger. very disapointing. will not use again second time this has happened" chips were oven chips. AWAFUL SHAME

Had a costly fish supper (due to price increases) the batter on the fish was soggy and the fish was a thin portion, the chips were reheated and not freshly cooked. Place has gone downhill lately. Partner had seafood chowder which she enjoyed. Used to be consistently good but sadly not the case now.

As a regular customer of Mortons I have to say the quality of food has deteriorated, went last night and chips just like oven chips and everything was so greasy. Staff were lovely but food was so disappointing.

Fish and chips are fresh and at its best. I'd been promised tea from here on previous visits and this last one was to be it, we got there just before it got busy and boy does it get busy. There's no frying up front here you wait for your food and it's hot and bloomin lovely. We ordered a side of onion rings and I expected to get maybe 4 or 6 rings, oh no what you get is pretty much a whole onion. It's not overly expensive either with our order being about £20. Certainly will be back again.

got a haddock supper with curry sauce - haddock supper was £11.40, pretty dammn expensive. chips were ok enough but fish was a let down - not that thick and defo seemed to be over cooked and a bit tough. not really worth £11.40 which is crazy money for a fish supper.

Hello Grease! That sums it up. Greasy chips and greasy batter. I left a generous 3 star review, as we were hungry and polished it off overlooking the stunning coastline and our dog (evidently) loved a few of the leftover chips!

Best chips on the north coast, good portions though slightly expensive (have to pay for Mayo) and menu was a bit ambiguous so we ended up buying an extra portion of chips we didn’t need. Really enjoyed the fish and scampi, amazing flavour. Located near some lovely clean benches outside on the harbour.

Lovely fish, chicken goujons were very tasty and the chicken fillet burger is monstrous! Can get very busy so worth ringing your order in ahead

Heard so much about this place had to try it ..the battered fish was awful and the batter was disgusting the chips were like rubber and cold .the sea gulls got it all...

Beautiful food. Sometimes having to wait as it is usually busy. But also, usually a good sign. Always worth the wait.

Best food ever and used to work here🤭

This place has won awards for its seafood and I can see why! During the summer there will usually be a long line of people waiting from opening until close, but I found the length of time to wait was pretty standard. Probably waited about 15 minutes from order until I was walking away with a bag full of fish suppers. Staff appeared to be working efficiently and there was a jovial atmosphere; even though they were busy, there was still time for them to greet me like I was their first customer as opposed to maybe being the hundredth that day! The food was delicious, not greasy at all despite being fried. Chips were good; portion sizes were plenty big. Kids enjoyed their meals too, again adequately sized; definitely don't be ordering an adult portion for anyone under 16 😂 Took out meals down to the beach to eat them. Perfect, quiet little place. I'll be ordering again next time I'm in Ballycastle 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent fish and chips, very generous and the price is really reasonable. A nice typical fast food, it is possible to eat on site right next door

Great! I had King Prawns, delicious!

We had fish and chips today so disappointed. Fish just ok the chips were overcooked cheap frozen ones. My sister ordered battered prawns that were frazzled and rubbery. Used to be great

Best fish and chips I've had in years. Sat in the seating area near to the shop and enjoyed the food while listening to the lashing rain 😊

Stopped off for our Friday night date night meal. Food was absolutely delicious 😋 Piping hot & finger licking fangtastic.

Great we chippy probably my fav up the Coast

This place USED to be the best fish and chip anywhere. That title is WELL and TRULY GONE! Chips were rubbish. As if they were out of a bag. Where are the old thick cut chips that made your company? The quality of burger was rubbish! Servers were nice though.. I am sooooo sad to say, after 30+ years of visiting this place, I will NOT be back. Donnellys Bakery is the example of consistency for food.

Just your average chippy, only difference is they sell a few different items than most chippys, like chowder and monkfish and crab items. My friend and I both had chowder. We were given plastic teaspoons to eat it with and we both ended up slicing our top lips on both sides with the spoons, so had to 'drink' it instead. When my friend went back inside to tell them about this the fellow ( she thinks his name was Luke), was totally disinterested and not even an apology was given. The other items we had, were ok, bit expensive for portion size. We ate in the indoor eating area as it was raining not an enjoyable experience, as children from the ages of 2 to about 10 were running round disrupting the place whilst the parents ignored them. Wouldn't rush back

Wasn't impressed. Fish was greasy. Chips were bad. All sauces are pre-packaged, none homemade.

Some of the best fish and chips I've ever had. Had a Cod Supper. Tasty, not excessively greasy, unctious batter, chips nicely browned. Order from the booth. Told it was a 25-minute wait but was about 15 minutes maximum. Eat in the sit-in area or sit by the harbour looking out which we did. Feels like a real seaside experience.

£8 for scampi and a scoop of chips. Absolutely disgusting. Scampi was like mush in batter and the chips were not fresh. It was Tuesday the last day of the lamas fair so they could have made more of an effort. Will define not be back. I ate here a while ago and it was lovely!!!!! What happened 😕

This was my first time trying out the highly recommended and renowned Morton's Fish and Chips! I was not disappointed, the fish and chips are absolutely delicious, very generous portions, the fish is of very good quality, the batter perfect! The chips are amazing! I highly recommend Morton's Fish and Chips!

Order and pay inside. Outside, your name is called when your order is ready. You can eat it next door in a covered area or take it to a nearby seating area. The quality of fish and chips is very good. Friendly service.

Waited half an hour for this chicken fillet burger that fell apart. I tried eating it with a fork but it broke when I tried cutting the chicken. You also sit in a greenhouse and wait 20 mins for your food and you have to clean your table!

No idea how some are giving this place praise. They are lucky they are the only chippy on the strip Twice we have tried there and both times have been bang average. Very little potato in the chips, greasy batter leaving a foul taste in the mouth and embarrassing portion sizes. I guess they don't need to improve on any of these as the crowds keep coming.

Fish, prawns, onion rings and French fries with kepchup and mayonnaise

Disappointing ! Strange to order in the shop then asked to wait 30 mins outside waited a lot longer , staff not very helpful my grandson needed a toilet staff just pointed at a sign in the window which wasn’t clear no directions only an address so if unfamiliar with area you’re maybe gunna have an accident 🥺🥲 Lot of fuss about nothing covered seating area provided but not sure it’s fit for purpose No loos no one cleaning tables no staff to assist . 🤯 Cold on a wet sunny day don’t go in the winter your cod will never defrost . Chips frozen not fresh cut . Unsure about the fish . Large choice on menu maybe do fish n chips we’ll stay away from offering frozen food 🥴

We ventured here on a recommendation, and while it was decent enough, that's all it was. I've given three stars as by Google maps definition that's "it's ok" and that's exactly what my thoughts were. Nothing to complain about but nothing great either. Portion sizes for fish and chips (or fish supper as sold here) were just ok, every bit polished off by both adults and children in my party. The fish bites portion was pretty decent. Chips were similar to oven chips and the batter was dry and crispy. This might be a matter of taste and some might love it. Personally I have had better and worse in the world of fish and chips. I waited around 5 minutes to order and a further 15-20 to collect. Salt, vinegar, tomato sauce sachets and plastic cutlery were all free which was good.

Cod bites - prawns slightly greasy chips tasted looked frozen reheated 20 mins standing outside waiting seems a strange arrangement c/w notice to clean your own table in the adjacent seating area, went based on previous reviews hard to understand highly rated by some and disappointing by others perhaps we got an off day, no excuse for the chips not being fresh though

really great food, worth the 20 min wait time. Also gluten free if needed, and they have a veggie option

Great fish and chips, not a soggy chip in sight, Our youngest liked the veggie burger too. Had to wait but they seem to have a good system going.

The young man that was at the counter were I collected my food on Wednesday about 5 o clock was so lovely helpful and very friendly 5 stars to him

Could be the best fish and chips in Northern Ireland - so fresh, so nice, just lovely.. IF IT WASN’T FOR SO MUCH SALT. We didn’t even order any. It’s like they took the lid off the salt shaker and tipped it all in. It looked like our fish was covered with snow!

Battered scampi (langoustines) with chips

Great food, the portions were large. If your ordering stick to the fish and chips as the Mexican beef was adverage and was microwaved to heat the chilli, which made the chips soggy. The fish and chips were amazing though and so too was the onion rings.

This place used to be good, visited on Sunday an was served inedible chips, so soggy and lifeless And small fish was nothing special, Defo my last visit

Very disappointed- a sliver of old sea bass with an unpleasant aftertaste and a handful of soggy chips for £8 followed by Heartburn after eating. The food here used to be good quality but unfortunately is no longer.

To learn about the customs of the area. Great, quality price. All very good...

Over rated and not good value for money, it wasn't worth the wait and the fish was anorexic. Won't be back 🤬

Incredibly fresh fish and chips! The breading was perfectly done and the serving was generous for the price

Best fish and chips in Northern Ireland. They catch their own fish! Straight from the boat to the restaurant. Well done. The staff was great and friendly. Everything you need done proper.

Simply the best fish and chip supper I've ever had. Huge portions, the cod is fresh caught and cooked while you wait. (10-15minute wait once ordered).

Delicious food and friendly staff.

The first time here the sea bream is excellent the kids loved the chicken bites and dugong it was very busy so you know the food is very popular with locals will definitely visit again next trip up

Lovely people, very supportive and caring towards customers, great food and atmosphere.

Fish and chips just perfect! We had to wait a relatively long time, about 35 minutes. But it was worth it, very tasty, highly recommended!

Got recommended by a local, busy place so must be popular. Enjoyed my food.

Was disappointed as I specifically asked for Haddock but got cod. I lived in Yorkshire for most of my life, so I know the difference between Haddock and cod.

Best fish and chips I can remember having (Chez Fred in Poole is close). Great setting right by the marina, with tons of shops nearby and a nice playground. Check for long lines especially if the weather is decent, but they work fast and get your food out quickly.

High quality take-away fish and chips. Cooked after ordering so it was piping hot with crispy batter when it arrived. Perfect.

The fried onion rings were great. The shrimp balls were good, but the fries were much too soft for our taste. We had to queue for a good 15 minutes to order and then wait another 25 minutes.

The best ever chip shop super service, the fish is the best ever I have tasted. Sat in at the seating area just across from the shop.

Had better.. fish was bone dry, chips soggy and batter full of grease...was not worth the 30min wait..

Heaven Also they do gluten free

Our tour of the Antrim Coast stopped in Bally Castle and we found Morton's. The fish n chips were SO yummy. Made fresh to order which wet loved.

Delicious food & plenty of Gluten Free Options. Great covered outdoor seating as well. Great place.

A little shop by the water. With seating. Best fish and chips ever. Great price/performance, a brilliant tip

We did take away as it was very busy. Prices were average. Service was super pleasant. Fish was one of the best. Light on the fry and portions were large. Highly recommend.

Good at what it does best, classic fish and chips. Ordered the 'pan fried hake supper' and got a 1/3rd of a normal fish supper portion, that had clearly been deep fried and a 1/4 of the chips, all for the same price. It all used a lot less ingredients, was healthier but cost the same! A shorter menu would serve them very well. Have a peek at ullapool seafood shack for inspiration!

Best chips ever, probably twice or triple cooked, not greasy at all. Lovely hadock .

Wow what can I say this fish is unreal in this place a full length cod plus 2 battered sussages. £14.99 with a view like this whats not to love

Lovely fish and chips, freshly cooked and piping hot, good service.

Very nice freshly prepared food at an affordable price.

Very busy.tje girls split our haddock and chips order have two separate boxes.very pleasant and very busy staff cooking all fresh,a 15 minute wait in their dining room sheltered from a bleak evenings rain and wind. Very tasty meal. It was worth the drive from cullybacky to get dinner here. Thankyou ladies for your service.

A great takeaway, always a bit of a wait but worth it.
