Worse chips ever in my life! Would avoid this place. No exaggeration when I say the most disgusting chips I’ve ever tasted. If a chip pie can’t make chips, it should be shut down. Shocking.

We deicide to go for a carryout when passing through Balloch, I asked for a fish and chips, and a couple of other suppers, I was asked large or small fish, I went for the large, but when went a found a parking space, opened the fish supper thinking it might have been a fish and half fish, but just looked like a normal fish and chips, I heard the person after me asking for a small one, maybe I got the tourist one same size different price

Me and my boyfriend visited the shop after a hike up the cobbler, starving we decided to visit for dinner! due to covid there was a wait to get in, understandable. However, when it was our turn to order we asked for a pizza without a hi or a welcome we were returned with a sarcastic “no” later agreed that one could be made we then asked for a chicken nugget supper and weren’t felt welcomed at all by this older woman. We waited 20 minutes for our food to be told that the pizza had been dropped and there was no more dough left, angry to say the least. We then were asked if we wanted anything else and we said about potato fritters but again where told no. No sympathy or consideration for the fact we’d been waiting for our pizza, no money or offer of anything else was given and ended up paying £8.30 for a chicken nugget supper!! went across the road to the pizza place, will not be back, horrible experience and a terrible service with a terrible manner.

On hols and hankering for a good old fashioned fish & chips carry out - was certainly not disappointed - ordered 2 single fish/large chip and of course 2 x pickle onion...freshly cooked and delicious.......portion size is large but then it did cost a bit more than at home @ £15 but it was really good....Covid restrictions being adherred to and carry out spotless.....well done!

This was our first visit and ordered online which worked very well. My wife who is coeliac was desperate to try the gf fish and chips which are like hens teeth to find. Our fish looked spot on, batter perfect and she thoroughly enjoyed. I had a single black pudding which was the biggest I’ve had, probably about a foot long. Probably had slightly better on quality but couldn’t argue with what was served. Overall a pretty good experience

We find ourselves in difficult times But your visit to Palombos in Balloch is an absolute must They handled the social distance to perfection Our Fish and Unbattered Sausage was done to order and without a shadow of doubt got my first 10 out of 10 for a long long while Your service was impeccable, although the young girl that served us initially needs to gain more confidence she, I presume went on a break and was taken over by an extremely high-quality lady who I think has done her position for years and knows her trade inside out Thank you for being open in these unprecedented times and good luck Also across the road is a great carpark and amenities for younger children with lots of seating areas dotted around the area

We visited on a cold gloomy day in November and had a wonderful experience. Freshly cooked haddock & chips and a warm welcome from the owner, Franco. Certainly the best fish & chips we had eaten for many a long year. It was interesting to hear the history of the family, coming to Scotland in 1934 from Italy, and the development of the business through succeding generations.

We were staying above here in one of the rooms for the night (Palombo's of Balloch under hotels on trip advisor). They have a take away and also an eat in area. Both of which were full. The queue for the take away was out the door the whole time we were in the eating in part. This was a Friday evening in late September, so definately used by the locals a lot and there clearly were quite a number of locals in the eating in part too as they were chatting to the staff who knew them. We ordered just standard fish and chips although there was a whopper fish and chips on the menu. I have no idea how big that would be as what we got, I would say was better than any large fish we get in fish and chip shops in England or Wales! The batter was light and crispy, the fish was thick and flaky, perfectly cooked and so tasty. The chips were very nice too. Just really lovely meal. Highly recommend.

We were directed to Palombo's for a late lunch following a cruise on Loch Lomond. The staff of a (closed) takeaway further down the street recommended Palombo's and we were so glad we went.We were served by young enthusiastic waiting staff, and after only a few minutes' wait, generous portions of fish, chips and mushy peas were set before us. I can only say that this was fish'n'chips to die for! Large fish fillets in perfectly cooked batter (crisp all the way through, no soggy bits!), superb chips, and tasty mushy peas combined to make a wonderful lunch. The desserts we had afterwards weren't quite as outstanding, but the drinks were refreshing. Bread & butter was provided with the meal, and the bill at the end was less than I had expected. A superb lunch in pleasant surroundings, with friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Popped in here after a lovely day out at Loch Lomond Shores and Balloch. It had a queue and was busy so that usually means somewhere is good. TOTALLY NOT GOOD! I had small fish and chips. Some chips were so crispy I could not put excuse for a fork in them. Some were burnt and had bad bits in them. Fish batter was very great and not really a lot of fish meat in it. My husband had a half pizza crunch supper. Pizza was disgusting as were chips. Totally overcooked and frazzled. We do not recommend this. Go elsewhere

Fantastic, freshly made-to-order fish and chips, the chips being hand-cut, home made. They do an OAP's fish and chips for £4 (which is what I had) and it was a great sized portion. Nice, friendly, attentive staff. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was really busy, so is obviously popular. There's a varied menu, so plenty of choice. It's also licensed, so you could have a beer or wine with your meal. They also cater for gluten-free customers. Would certainly recommend.

Group of 4 mates walked 20+ miles from Glasgow to Balloch and were looking forward to some hearty sustenance. We fell upon the outwardly attractive looking plaice. We all chipped in and went for fish suppers. We're a frugal bunch so don't like to fritter away our hard earned cash. There were several patrons waiting when we ordered but we were given no indication that we'd be floundering for 30 minutes waiting. If only we knew that the key to quick service was to be called Michael and have a gluten allergy. As the 30 minutes approached, and our party exclaimed 'for goodness hake', things became a little tench. Our food finally arrived, thank cod, and we paid what we roe'd. To rub salt (and vinegar) into the wound, as I went to pour ketchup on my food I was informed that the only bottle visible on the counter was not the sauce of their available product and I was pollocked as I left the shop. I eel not curry back to this plaice...

Just got fish and chips from the above. Terrible food, terrible service and warm Irn Bru! Makes me really sad to think that tourists may go here and think that’s what Scottish fish and chips are like. Really good fried fish should not be dripping in grease and their batter just was not right. The wait was also ridiculous and to top it all off the woman serving seemed to be world wasp chewing champion. Fish and chips is pretty simple, I really don’t understand how this place gets it so wrong.

Visited here today to grab a half pizza supper for dinner. Was busy in store and knew we would have to wait which is understandable. Staff member took my order (a half pizza supper) then she disappeared 10 minutes later.People came and left over and over again and I was still waiting on my food after 20 minutes.Another staff member asked if I was the one waiting on pizza and I said 'yes.'She never asked if it was a half pizza or a pizza crunch or nothing. I assumed all would be ok as the first girl had taken my order.A woman who I'm assuming was owner/ manager as was plain clothed asked if it was pepperoni to staff and I said no just cheese( I wasn't actually asked but you assume it would be cheese) She shouted 'I didn't even know about that one.' to the woman behind the counter. Which meant I would be waiting even longer.No apologies or acknowledgement from anyone in the shop.10 minutes later staff member asked if pizza was ready and a man replied 'yea one full pizza ready' it was for another customer who came in 25 minutes after me and so she proceeded to tell himshe still needed the pizza for me. I was really annoyed and asked her if that was the pizza just going in as I had already been waiting over half an hour and she said 'but you have to wait on your other pizza anyway'They obviously didn't listen to my initial order and then put on a 12 inch oven pizza or something for me as well. I only wanted a half pizza supper!In the end she told the man making food to cut the full pizza in half to give half to me.Even though I was annoyed I kindly asked for salt and vinegar... when tasting after they were bland with not a spot of salt or vinegar. I even had to pay for sachets of ketchup as they 'didn't have any.' What chip shop doesn't offer you ketchup or brown sauce? I left the shop without buying other items I wanted as I was so annoyed with the 40 minute wait. The woman behind the counter never even apologised once for the wait or for the terrible service.How rude!!! This is what I'm most annoyed about. Obviously has no manners.I would not be hiring staff to work for me who had no customer service skills or manners.Not one apology, no offer of a discount.The chips were greasy, too crispy and bland. The woman didn't fill the tray up and obviously wanted to annoy me because I had asked how long my food would be. Avoid!

According to a notice they use rapeseed oil rather than beef fat - I think you can taste the difference and I prefer it. Really good fish and twice cooked chips. Fish size is average. Batter is good enough to pig out on especially in onion rings which were first rate. Even do deep fried mars bars - well worth trying as work really well especially when warm and gooey. Won fish and chip shop of the year 2017.

Went here with my partner around 6pm. It wasn't busy. We waited a while, no one brought a menu so had to take a menu off another table.. we waited that long.... I thought we had to order at the counter, as I went and asked. The lady behind counter then said.. we will come get your order.Waited again for another 10minutes..... came and took our order and she didn't seem interested in giving good customer service.... we waited another 10 mins and she brought our tea. 20mins later the food came... we had to go ask for cutlery.. got that and then had to ask for our bread and butter.... to be told... oh we havent got any bread.. just rolls.... why didn't she tell us when she took the order or even when she brought the food that there was no bread!! Waited another 10 mins on her buttering two rolls.. the food was cold by the time we had everything.. fish was really really nice and chips were not greasy however not a lot on your plate... this got served with a not so great salad.. ( mushy peas would have been better) £1.20 extra.... Overall.. food was nice but the lack of customer service.... the waitress seemed to be very attentive to the locals ... wouldn't go back.. I'm not fussy or a moan or miserable like some people but this wasn't a very nice experience considering it was near £12 FOR FISH CHIPS AND A BUTTERED ROLL.

We visited the Sea Life centre today on a miserably wet Scottish summer day. We are a group of 4 childminders and 14 children and had hoped to get some fish and sausage suppers for lunch to take away. Due to the weather we decided to visit the restaurant instead. The service and food were fantastic. Beautiful large portions of fish and chips for us and sausage and chips for the children. The children also had ice creams which went down very well. Nothing was too much bother for the friendly helpful staff. Would definitely recommend Palombos if you are visiting the area.

Honestly the best fish n chips in Dunbartonshire. They even do gluten free batter. The fish is always beautiful and the chips are amazing. Always freshly cooked as its so busy. Cant visit Balloch without going for a Palombos. They also have a wee restaraunt next door if you fancy a glass of wine or a cuppa with your food.

Stopped by for dinner on Friday evening and it went from bad to worse from the minute we walked in. Both staff members we encountered were rude and uninterested. We were pointed to a table across the room, had to ask for a drinks order to be taken(which were delightfully slammed on the table in front of us), our food order was then then taken. We waited 30 minutes for our food, in which time another table came in, ordered, and were served their food before us. We caught the waitress's attention and before we even got the chance to speak/ask how long ours would be, she growled at us that 'WE WERE NEXT!' right enough our food arrived promptly after. No complaints on the food itself but it cant make up for bad customer service. I see previous responses on tripadvisor from the owner asking customers to raise their issues there and then, but with the attitude of the lady serving us, I wouldn't give you the time of day. Won't be back and wouldn't recommend it!

Himself and I had intended to try the Lomond chippy at the station, but it was closed, so we went to Palombo's instead. A lovely welcome from Mama, who told us there would be a wee wait, as everything was being made fresh,great service from Doreen, and lovely fish & chips ( though next time I think the senior citizen's menu would be a better choice, so I could have pudding!)

We decided to stop off here on way home for a chippy tea. We had read good reviews. There was a queue when we arrived. Our order was taken but forgotten about 2 mins later but they said will check at the end when food nearly ready! There was one woman on serving, taking the orders and sorting the food despite a queue halfway out the door. We waited 30mins for our mea which we were looking forward to. Sadly it didn't live up to anything. The food was greasy, cold and our pizza wasn't cooked properly. So disappointing after passing here loads. Next time we will keep passsing.

Having read about this 'award winning chippy' we decided to drop in as we were passing Balloch. I was looking forward to a great supper. Unfortunately what we got was bland and greasy. The only good thing was the pleasant seating across the road.

Came in with my 2 children, husband and my mum. We all wanted a Sunday roast and found the meat portions were really good and plenty to choose from with vegetables etc.Desserts were too big to finish after a carvery lol. Our server Alana couldn't have been more helpful.

We were looking for a place to eat within the Loch Lomond Shores shopping center and went in because we liked the ambiance inside. Great decision as the staff was friendly and helpful and we sure needed help to choose the Scottish dishes on the menu. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. We picked all the Scottish specialties and enjoyed them - Haggis, Black Pudding with whiskey and black pepper mayonnaise (fascinating combo), smoked salmon, steak pie in red wine – suffice to say, eating here was an adventure.
