Philadelphia Fish & Chicken Bar in Glasgow City

We stumbled into here by accident. We are from Philly, USA, and were curious by its name. We had wanted to try fried haggis and a fried Mars bar before we left Scotland, so we figured why not here. The man working was so hospitable and wonderful to us. They didn't sell fried Mars bars, so he told us to run across the street to the supermarket to grab one and he'd fry it for us. While we waited for our food, he gave our toddler chips to eat and chatted about his family. The fried haggis and Mars bar we're still raving about. We really enjoyed our spur of the moment stop here.

Cold chips. OK lulkewarm chips. So disappointed, but not surprised. We are so conditioned to accept sub standard these days.

previous review is spot on. Used to be one of the best chip shops In the area but no more. Bought two suppers night. £16m. A total waste of money as they ended up in the bin. Never again !

Worst chips n Scotland absolutely scandalous you have a cheek asking any money for them Reheats taste the fat that hasn’t been cleaned in years.

Haven’t been for many years but it used to be fabulous for fish and chips but not anymore. Visited this week as I was in the area and it was the worst fish supper I have ever tasted. The whole thing went in the bin and at £10.50 it wasn’t cheap! Not sure if it’s been taken over by new owners but it’s definitely gone right downhill. Such a shame cos it used to be so good!

One of the worst fish and chips I've ever experienced. Terrible batter, undercooked fish, okay chips. The man behing the counter looked as if he'd rather be anywhere else - all in all a dispiriting experience

Never fulfil orders. Randomly take themselves offline. Poor service.

Cold, which is no surprise when it sat on 'assigning driver' for 1.5h. It was a small order - a 12" pizza. You could have just prepared a new one after a certain point rather than send out this disappointment.

Always class. Randomly unavailable for orders a lot of the time despite being advertised as open the only downside.

would have been happier if like the previous orders the food was piping hot I felt the chips and smoked sausage was lukewarm and I had to put them in an air fryer to heat them up this has never been a problem before let's hope next time I won't need to do this but the special fish and fritters were great

Top quality. Always really enjoy the food from here.

Great pizza and chips . Have been going here for years. Delivered piping hot !

I didn’t receive my full order

Ordered pazza an chips for the kids and never recieved small chips as payed for and reqested

My food was cold and was over an hour late

I know its a pizza crunch but it was absolutely solid, couldn't even bite into some parts, curry sauce was also so watery it didn't taste like curry at all. Chips were good but would have liked salt and vinegar. Top marks for remembering my pickle!

Food didn't arrive despite your app saying it had been delivered. Monstrous. Full stop.

The man charged me £6.10 for a portion of chips with curry sauce and cheese which he used his dirty hands to scoop up. When I challenged him about the price, he said it was a 'large portion'. The pricing didn't match the prices advertised in the chippy nor does it match the pricing found online. SUMMARY: THE MAN DOES NOT FOLLOW BASIC FOOD HYGINE AND MAKES UP HIS PRICES ON THE SPOT. BAD FOOD. BAD SERVICE.

Pizza was amazing but missing two of the toppings i ordered with no explanation or offer of compensation for the missing toppings. This is the second time in a row that I've ordered a pizza and its come with toppings missing. The pizza was however very nice.

Ordered a vegetarian pizza which should have come with onions, pineapple, sweet corn and mushrooms. And then paid for extra toppings of pepperoni, jalapeños, peppers and olives because I wanted a pizza with lots of toppings. But I got a pizza with pepperoni, olives and peppers. So missing 5 of the 8 toppings I’d ordered. The pizza was still nice but a bit bland due to the lack of toppings.

Food was disgusting, pizza was ice cold and they had put onion on it when nowhere on the menu does it say it would have onion on it. Delivery driver was basically threw the food at me and ran away, very rude. Find somewhere better than here.

Food was lovely but not enough chips a bit cold but lovely

fresh fish and delivered piping hot

Absolutely disgusting and weird tasting fish and chips. One of the worst chippies I've ever been to. Soggy batter, chips thar tasted of something other than chips that I can't put my finger on. Avoid. Spend your money elsewhere. Disgusting food

The chips were disappointing, as was the pizza. Didn't think it was possible to go far wrong with pizza, but it wasn't very good. Sorry!

BIt more vinegar and that would've been perfect. Special fish, battered fish, sausage, chips and fritters were all brilliant, roasting hot and crispy.

All the food was so dry and then reheated poor quality for this place

oreded a king rib supper got a single not happy

Generally good but they never read the order notes! Maybe add an option for salt and vinegar on the individual items?

Excellent food, always tasty. Great batter on fish. Fritters were huge, two would have been enough! The fried onions were not available but hope just temporary. Speedy, courteous delivery so food hot on arrival despite being far way from us.

Pizza was stuffed in bag sideways and when it came was like mush all squashed at bottom of box pizza from here is hard enough to pick up from here with cheese all falling off never mind it all sitting in the box stuck to box shocking have a word with your drivers if it's them poor quality

everything made to perfection , my favourite chippy since school days, early 80s

Got the 2 fish supper, the quantity and quality were both well worth the price. I believe it was about 7.20 for a heaping portion. Took the host's recommendation of salt&vinegar and was not disappointed :)

Food usually good but pizza this time was very burnt. Not just a little well-done round the edges but totally black on top. Whoever put it in the box must have known this. Puts me off ordering again.

TOTALLY AMAZING ...THANK YOU Philadelphia

The best fish and chips in Glasgow so far. Called in tonight for 2 fish suppers, pleasant , friendly and very welcoming staff , made fresh, absolutely delicious . Great value for Money . Will definitely be back next time in the area.

chips were little crispy bits and rest were overcooked and dry

Chips were not fresh and lacking in flavour and no salt and vinegar that was requested.

I never received the order , there was a partial mistake on the delivery address , should of been 289 maryhill road but the postcode was correct so doesnt take a genius to work out there is a typo on the address , tried phoning the Philadelphia Fish & Chicken Bar was hung up on twice , went to the chat in app for help , took 20-30 minutes before the resolution was given that there is nothing you can do. Not happy at all with the service and being unable to change wasted £8.70

Not sure if they have changed owners but the dough and crust was totally different, really disappointing.

Pizza delicious - as ever. Philly's never disappoints. Always a quick delivery. Chips arrived still piping hot.

pizzas used to be good here, this was basically a huge lump of dough with a tin of canned tomatoes and some cheap mozzarella poured on top. poor construction with no herbs or seasoning. chips were alright and delivery was quick

The Fish batter was so lovely and crispy. Definitely order again.

A few minutes late and when received, I checked the temperature with a probe and it was 51°C. That is not an acceptable serving temperature. Should really be over 80°C

The whole meal went in the bin as it was absolutely horrible cold soggy and soaked in grease Not happy at all

Absolutely appalling. Fish was full of bones and the batter was soggy and stuck to the chips so when I tried to move it, it fell to pieces. Chips were bitter tasting and limp. Overall just a very unpleasant meal. This was my first time using this place and I won't be back for a second.

Excellent and tasty food. Arrived earlier than forecast, much to my delight, as I was hungry and anticipating a good old fashioned fish supper on a Friday night

Excellent food and service...thanks a lot

The chips were soggy & the fish awful. This used to be the best fish & chip shop in the West End. I will not be ordering from Philadelphia again.

Normally excellent but chips were sinking the day bad spuds or something dunno sort it out, otherwise all good cheers fast

Too many chips, not enough fish

Most of the Food was not the best. Chips and onion rings very greasy. Fish was greasy batter but dry and tasteless fish. However haggis was good.

Best Pizza Pie this side of Philadelphia!!

If there's a better Pizza Pie in Glasgow I've not tasted it. Superb!!

Pleasant delivery man, quality excellent as usual.

Best chippy in Glasgow. Great delivery by a cheerful driver on a foul night. Recommended.

This place is alright. The pizza was quite soggy in the middle - maybe due to being over sauced. It had a reasonable amount of toppings but I wouldn't recommend the "Italian sausage" topping as it doesn't taste very nice and definitely isn't Italian sausage. Pizza sauce is nice though and quite garlicy. This place is quite cheap so I guess you get what you pay for. Order came on time and the delivery person was very friendly.

Usually very good food quality/tasty but on this occasion not so much. Don't know if it was the time we ordered at (10pm). But the sausage supper was very dry/overcooked and the chips were a bit old tasting. I couldn't finish it and had to leave it which I hate to do as I despise wasting food. Our curry sauce was also missing (now refunded).

Great food, but order was wrong and missing items. Ordered a meat pizza only to get cheese and the chips that we ordered were missing.

Special fish is lovely. Delivery driver is always friendly.

Chips were very poor The rest of order was great

Lovely grub, food was hit, well wrapped and very tasty. Delivery was prompt and polite. Will use the shop agsin.

Great special fish supper. Ordered lasagne to freeze p(ask for it to be left cold)

First time we've used Philadelphia. Very pleased, food arrived on time and was delicious. Thank you......😊😊

Lovely fish and chips fritters the best I have ever had

These guys are great. Not pretentious, nice and simple, but reliable and excellent value.

Brilliant as always. Thank you

Best Chips around. Huge portions. Great value for money.

Definitely not contact free as described.

It all looked reheated was cold and most of the chips went in the bin as they were black.

Sometimes you don't want to eat out and being a Glaswegian you have a craving for deep-fried food. It is deep-fried but tasty. If this is the mood you are in, then the Philadelphia Fish & Chicken Bar delivers.

We popped in tonight after an event for a quick bite to eat on the way home the food was delicious and the prices were great. Staff were very friendly and great with the kids. Amazing service and would definitely recommend if in the area x

Absolutely shocking service. I was in here tonight and asked for a portion of chips only to be met with a look of disgust from the man serving me. I was a bit confused as to why he was so angry that I had asked for a portion of chips in a chip shop.. he then proceeded to huff under his breath "porco miseria" which is the Italian equivalent for "for f**k sake" or something of the sort, I'm assuming he thought I wouldn't understand. He rolled his eyes the whole time he was serving me as if I a hindrance. Terrible service, don't know what his problem was, I was left shocked and confused at the way he was acting. Will never be back.

I bought a box of chips from Philadelphia chippy and I went in and asked for chips and he took a while in the back then came out and asked me what I wanted I told him chips and he looked me up and down and when he was giving me my chips he used his hands to give me my chips which was disgusting not only this his attitude is terrible

Just awful ; stale fish and chips, cold and chips chewy - fish was two bits of hard batter stuck together - has this place changed hands?? Also The man behind counter - grey hair and glasses is also very creepy ! It's rude to gawk at woman don't you know !!!

Went and got chips from Philadelphia chippy on Friday 1febuary 2019 and the guy touched the chips with his hands THIS is disgusting

Nuevo en el área local y en la búsqueda de un convite de viernes para el almuerzo, pensé que el lugar parecía relativamente agradable y para ser un poco sofisticado, no muy grasoso. La grasa, descubrí, estaba en la forma del personal que trabajaba allí. Rezumando todo el encanto de un representante del club benidorm con las dos mujeres jóvenes frente a mí, luego, en mi turno al orden, fue menos que atractivo. Una vez más, eligiendo la oportunidad de coquetear, este odioso 'caballero' me ignoró, se mostró frívolo cuando le pedí condimento (que apenas recibí) y luego insistió en cobrar por ketchup, estoy seguro de que si pudiera, me lo hubiera dado la caja y cargada para cada uno individualmenteLa comida en sí estaba tibia, y ciertamente no tan recién preparada como mi considerable espera me hubiera llevado a creer. Debajo de chips condimentados e inconsistentes, con algunos como carbón y otros que podrían darte congelación. Aceitoso, decepcionante y sorprendentemente caro para el deshonor.Lo evitaría a toda costa, tal vez si fuera una rubia tetona, sería bien atendido, pero para el resto de la población de Glasgow, hágase un favor e irse a otro lado

This is the best chippy in Glasgow. Haggis supper surpasses everything. Make a trip to this without fail. Busy at Lunchtime with school kids but choose your time and all will be well

Great chip shop and traditional chippy so much so that me and my two friends travel 12 miles to come to it fresh food great service great staff and can’t recommend it highly enuf

Metimos en del trabajo para comer algo de comida para llevar. Pedí un par de buñuelos (3 y cena haggis. Los buñuelos de aspecto adorable, pero al doblar en aunque comestible eran bastante recargado para mi gusto. El haggis era la pieza más secas de cata gracioso haggis he intentado y probablemente había sido tumbada por edades en la ventana. Las fichas se veía bien pero de nuevo muy seco y numerosas las patatas fritas eran muy fresco dura. No lo pensaré volver por más! ! . Si tuviera tiempo me he vuelto poco estaba en un descanso de la cena.

Glasgow these days seems to be over run with Blue Lagoon Chip Shops which I feel are always terrible (mainly the soggy chips more than anything) but its good that there is still some decent old fashion chip shop's left in the city.

Bought chips this evening and what a disappointment the chips were like reheats more scraps than chips also very very greasy. I certainly won't be back at this shop again.A pleasure to throw them in the food waste bin.

He visitado este preparado literalmente haber sido antes un par de veces y disfrutamos de las fichas de peces n recién hecho.

Was unbelievable how fast it came time said it would arrive by 23:50 recieved it by 22:30. Food was food, crispy and all round good for the price.

Good food, will defo order from here again.

Pizza was a little burnt around the edges but only a little. Chips perfect as always. Best chippy in Glasgow definitely.

ended up having to walk and collect food as we waited over an hour

I think I went here three times during my visit to Glasgow! This is seriously the best fish and chips I have ever eaten!!! Run don't walk to Philadelphia!!!

I could not say how late my order was as it did not arrive despite being told by the app that it was delivered at 22:20 at the moment it is 22:55. this is the second time I have ordered from this shop and again no order at the time given and this time no order

Sadly this is the second time I've tried Philadelphia online. Similar experience twice and there will definitely not be a third!! Very saddened to be saying this. Would normally love their stuff.

asked for extra sauce and the pizza was amazing. thanks all

Good as usual, best chippy around.

Food was ordered for 7.50 but restaurant changed that to 8.20 but food didn't arrive until 8.40 and that was only after I phoned them. On top of that the food was cold.

Food was good just delivery time was a joke when I first ordered eta was 815 it then changed to 840 food arrived at 850 overall food top notch but waiting time no good

cold, late and the topping wasn't on the pizza. Shame, used to love this place.

Added 30 minutes to the order which was delivered cold 40 minutes after the 30 minutes. Curry sauce and gravy had a thick skin on them and the pizza crust was burnt. No apology for late delivery. A 50p card fee for no reason, as well as £2.30 delivery charge when petrol would have cost less than £1 (pay your driver out your own pocket with your globular food profits).

Best chippy around by far, arrived early and piping hot with right crispy batter. Ace

Very tasty, canny beat a Philli Pizza

One of the best takeaway pizzas in Glasgow

El campeón indiscutible de pescado y chips de gramaje en Glasgow. Oferta tiempo 7" almuerzo pizza, patatas fritas y una lata de 3 libras. 50. No se puede superar. 16 con 4 coberturas" pizza £9. Este no es simplemente sobre la cantidad, aunque, la calidad es increíble.
