Rio's Traditional Fish & Chips in Birmingham

Expensive for the quality- Thick soggy batter on the fish also cold inside disgusting. Chips were very light colour too. Never going to this chippy again

Best fish & chip I’ve had in town. People who are new to Birmingham, or wanted to explore something new, i would love to suggest this place.

Always top service banging ING good definitely recommend

Best food ever Delivered so hot. Thanks restaurant amazing food though 😋 thanks

It used to be a good service with good food when this first opened by the family owners I know who were competent, caring and empathic. Now is not. Chips wasn't cooked properly which can cause food poisoning. Staff not friendly. They don't listen. Lack of empathy.

Great value, nice guy on the counter. Tasty food.

First time ordering from here and me and my hubby are very impressed

My order didn’t turn up , I tried to call but there was no answer , received a message though just eat saying it was delivered.

food was nice today, abit to much salt on my chicken, but just being picky.

Food was delivered too late, almost cold, and a bit too expensive for a realy small dish actually

The chips are really bad, funny smell and taste couldn't eat them look like they been dipped a few times, and for a large its shocking can't beat my local chippy never again

wow, big portion and very tasty

The megabox is insanely good and such a generous portion, you always have leftovers! Rio's never disappoints!

Great food, will definitely be reordering from here.

Need full refund. So pathetic chips and the curry sauce tasted as if its gone bad

Always brilliant and really nice people! Never a problem and we go here regularly 😁

Absolutely delicious 1st time trying and will defo be back. Prices are unmatched too! Lovely!!!!

Ordered from here as my local chippy was shut & after reading the reviews thought I would give here a go. Unfortunately I never got to taste the food as my food never turned up. Wont be ordering again.

over 30 minutes late no apology from the driver. The cod was inedible as you couldn’t get the grease proof paper off it, the curry sauce was cold and congealed , probably would not use again all we offered was £3 refund fir late delivery

didn't taste very nice, wouldn't order from here again sorry

spent 5.60 on cheesy chips it was tiny size of a small cone selected mayo but none was put on. ordered 2 piece sfc only one came. very disappointed first and last time ordering from here

We've ordered there before and will continue to do so. However, this time round, we were a little disappointed. Chips were nice, but we were missing a portion of them and the chicken in the wrap wasn't cooked very well. Everything else, the chicken drum sticks, battered sausage and halloumi dippers (Definitely Recommend) were just as exquisite as usual

Lovely people .. their fish and chips amazing ... felt welcome and very good customer service .

I had my first visit today to Rio's and I was very impressed with customer service and how I was greeted by AMER who served me with first class customer service and not just that but offered me free mixed meat and there homemade sauces Chill sauce with and tang and homemade garlic mayo.The meat was moist full of flavour.This is first time I have ever been offered free food.Fantastic customer service and engaged in conversation with me while they cooked my fish from fresh.I would highly recommend Rio's there fish is super fresh and moisture crispy batter the chips was great and curry sauce beautifull.Thanks for making me feel welcome see you soon.(Gym Jay)

Would recommend,rude comments thinking one doesn't understand the language in Pakistan.

Initially the food that was delivered was completely the wrong order and I quickly called the restaurant to let them know and they were so kind and able to re-send us the correct order. Food was amazing and delicious when it arrived. Just Eat delivery driver was so rude and wouldn’t accept that the food was incorrect and walked off leaving me to sort it out. Just Eat was responsible for the order so it was on them that we were given incorrect food. I would 100% order again from Rio’s 🙏🏼😊

was told on the phone when we called after about an hour , that it's late because the order got mixed up so they had to start again . did not say anything about giving compensation. the quality is not good.

Very friendly staff. Great service.

Ordered a mixed kebab with chips and a large cod and chips the order arrived on time which was fine but the food was horrible, the chips were more black then any other colour. I think it was the bottom of the barrel batch. I paid £30 for this and if I was being honest its not worth £10. I ended up throwing all the chips away and cooked my own. Everything was a disaster will never order again .

usually very nice maybe you had an off day. but the chips was not good this time. lots of bad ones. I had cheesey chips, at the price they were I expect more than about 20 chips and I didn't like the fact that they were then microwaved to melt the cheese. I asked for no salad on my chicken kabab burger, but got it and the batter was burnt on my halummi bites. usually very nice, but on this occasion not so much. sorry guys but you need to pick up the quality.

always nice just ordered again, see you soon

excellent delivery service and amazing food and also the food was nice and hot

Love these people and there food

While working in the area I noticed a queue waiting for food most of the time. Need to point out it is 22:30 on a Thursday night. They must be good. Most chip shops are closed by 8 pm. Walked past 3 other takeaways to try this place. It was worth it. Owners said they been running it for just over a year. One was cleaning while the other making food delivery orders up. I wasn’t too sure what to order then I saw them cooking fresh fish. I HAVE ONE OF THOSE 🐟🎣 It the size of my forearm. We were chatting and I told them it’s nice to see a busy shop. I’m expecting good things. I told them Dads lane is my go too place when I’m this side of the city. Well I can say my fish was cooked perfectly. The batter nice and crispy. Steaming the fish to perfection. The Lamb Donna meat looks excellent. I be coming back to try that. I must point out on the counter was chopped oinos in vinegar. Took me back to bedders. Highly recommend. Be prepared to wait because it is cooked fresh.

Nice friendly staff and traditional fish and chips shop with a retro touch, Nice cod and chips.tasty cod roe.

my cat hasn't been eating very much lately and felt out of options, thought i would try giving him a kebab, he loved it and his appetite is definitely better now, he's asking me to order it again

Fish and chips weren’t freshly cooked - soggy batter. Missed an item from the order. Delivered the wrong cut of fried chicken. Disappointing.

Seemed a bit slimy to the touch and taste, sorry I couldn't eat it

Large cod for a tenner, turns up without chips?!

Food wasn’t that that hot and the chips tasted like they’d been sat there a while - the food was always good but the last 2 deliveries have been disappointing

only issue I had was with the wrap and tikka kabab in pita. it gives you the option for salt and vinegar on your chip. but both didn't come with chip. so why is there an option? if there wasn't an option, I would've ordered chip aswell. confusing to say the least.

The food was fine, but ruined by the fact that I selected the no vinegar option... but still had my fish drowned in vinegar...

5 pound for cheesy chips I can literally count 12 chips shocking high prices for the tiniest portions kebab in nan might aswel have just asked for a nanny bread full on robbery

i'm sad to say i'm disappointed. the food today was terrible, I was not able to eat it. it tasted like it had been microwaved up from the night before and the portion sizes have got even smaller. not happy.

Order was a bit of a let down if honest. I don't order too many Takeaways so consider them a bit of a treat. Half of this one went in the bin. The Haddock was hot but tasteless. The chicken was dry and looked like it had been cooked and sat for ages. The chips were fine.

3 Meals chips were all undercooked. Donner meat was burnt and dry. Chilli sauce watered down packaging,I get is recycled, however falling apart and squashed isn’t good for the customer. Kids chicken poppers were inedible as they were tiny and overcooked

food was great shame the nann wasting freshly made ( that's not a negative? because the food was very nice, and definitely made up for that. I will definitely be back.

Have ordered from here so many times and the food is always lovely. However, this time we ordered 2 large fish and 1 small, we received 1 large and 2 small. When I called to say that we had received the wrong food they fobbed me off with saying that one of the small fishes were fatter therefore is classed as a large. Absolutely not it was tiny. Won’t be ordering again. Terrible customer service.

I always order from here , but this time The roe I ordered was like mush , it was as if it was a frozen piece , battered then thrown into the fryer absolutely disgusting & went straight into the bin , the rest of the food was ok

Only received 2 of 3 items ordered

Good food, fair price, good portions

On the main road through cotteridge on the left heading out of town--run by a couple of Asian lads-- their chips are as good as any greek or English c run chip shop they are polite friendly and often having.banter with each other but a first class service from them-- I. bought southern fried chicken and scollops really was nice tasty filled the void couldn't fault them, the lad asked did i want a sausage to which i replied no but he said oh well you might as well have it-of which I wasn't charged for on my initial order--their prices are are good also -- they stay open till late well worth a visit give them a try👍👍you won't be dissapointed

Best chips and curry sauce in birmingham. Sorted me right out

I was given rotting lamb and chicken donner. Waste of money!

Best fish and chips in the area. Staff are always welcoming and friendly.

Always top notch. Can't complain

Food was nearly an hour late and freezing cold. The sauce had congealed so was rock solid and the driver did not care to explain why he took a 40 minute detour despite the restaurant being 10 minutes from my house. Chips had been sweating in freezing cold so were both wet and cold. Will absolutely not be ordering from here again super disappointed

They are kind and food was amazing

chips were not fresh the fish lacked flavour and the kebab meat was over salted. nann was nice though. I very ordered here a few times and it's usually been good but this was a grim offering.

Really good fish and chips! worried about the special being too small a dinner but it was perfect.

food was nice and hot and, kebab naan is one to try

Best chip shop in cotterridge went to try it as it’s my first time went for a chips sausage chicken nuggets and chicken leg for only about £8 and a half this chip is good for it’s for it’s delicious and tasty food in which I will be going back to it had some free Samps of diner meat and red chicken beautiful food and awesome customer service I advice everyone to come try this chip shop

Amazing and friendly customer service. The food is exactly how fish and chips should be. This was our first visit, and it defiantly won’t be our last.

very fast and friendly delivery

Fabulous chip's but curry sauce a total let down... just a watery non tasting slop xx

The first time I've used this Chippy, Cracking chip's will definitely use it again

Chips were over cooked. Scraps of meat. Disappointing

Good around for the money and quality.

Called up Rio's to make a big order for 20+ healthcare professionals. As we are a busy eye hospital I asked if they were willing to assist with the following: * separately wrapped meals, with names of each staff member on the meals, * order to be delivered even though our hospital is out of area, * to be delivered at a specific time, * fish to be fried separately for staff who only eat halal food. Rio's were very accommodating with all the above requests. The food arrived on time, warm and wrapped well. We ordered small pots of curry sauce and mushy peas along with bottles of fizzy pop. There wasn't a single error. They called me several times to double check on the details we gave them regarding the food. Everyone was happy with the food. No complaints from anyone. I will definitely order from Rio's again as we have regular staff meals and it was nice to have something different. They really did go the extra mile which we all appreciated. Everyone enjoyed the food. Thank you again!

solid service, ubereats order, called merchant decent lads. BOSHHHH

Called to say they had not got all my order but was very quick to offer me an alternative menu

Friendly staff and quality food

I don’t really leave reviews… but this review was worth leaving. The atmosphere was amazing, the food was on point and I couldn’t recommend it enough. The staff were attentive and friendly. I will definitely be going again!!! 👍🏽

Over cooked, just warm, grubby stale chips, as if been cooked hours ago. Not fresh at all, thrown in the bin. Won't be using again.

Food used to be good it’s absolutely shocking now won’t be eating from here again!

The quality and delivery service was great, but when ordering a kebab and asking for salt and vinegar, you assume you would get chips, I've never heard of salt and vinegar on a kebab.

Honestly unreal! Ordered a mixed kebab with chips. was full to the brim and tasted fresh (even though they closed half hour later). Definitely one of, if not the best, kebab I’ve had in Birmingham. Will be my regular from now on

Great food and super friendly people!

Food is absolutely spot on! Highly recommend this place! Kebab is on another level! Best in the area

Food quality is really high at this place! I order frequently and am always satisfied, portions are wicked! Keep it going lads!

Clean, welcoming, and food is fresh. Fish and chips are out of this world 💯💯💯

Piping hot food, megaboxes were excellent and well worth the money! Kebab and chips in the box were especially good, will definitely use you again thank you.

Was recommended this place by a friend, came all the way from stoke-on-trent and wow, I was not disappointed definitely the best fish and chips I had everything was perfect. Will definitely return soon!

Food quality was good. Packaging needs improvement. Mashy peas 🫛 was wishy-washy.

Rude when calling the restaurant they put the phone down said nothing they can do now about my missing food and to take it up with just eat very rude don’t buy from these

We have received excellent, tasty and fresh food each time we have brought food from here. No complaints at all. Definitely the best fish and chips takeaway in the area.

Food was 20 minutes later than stated arriving, and then they had sent the wrong order which the driver took away with him so I was left with no food after waiting over an hour

I love rios food but I was shocked to get chips heated in a microwave.

I can honestly say it's been a very long time since I had attended an excellent Fish and Chip shop in Birmingham or even throughout the West Midlands. Rio's is absolutely delicious and provides excellent customer service when preparing and maintaining the utmost standards in hygiene and safety of handling foods. I found the staff caring and friendly and the food prepared in a timely manner. Thumbs up to the team, the people of Shirley are lucky indeed to have this establishment.

Great place inside and out and the food is definitely the best for the price.

First time customer! Great friendly staff with a welcoming atmosphere was the first thing I encountered as I walked in. The cleanliness of the whole shop was A1. Bright, modern and well laid out inside aswell. The owner went out of his way to cook the food I wanted from fresh and it was just 5 minutes until they were due to close! But he insisted and thats the best customer service you can ask for Will definitely be back and will recommend to everyone I know. Kelly x

Good service good staff best fish I’ve ever had food cooked perfect and fresh recommend to anyone in the area

Warned as we left that batter may be soggy - guess what, it was. Uncooked, inedible, water poured out as I cut the fish open. And then I found a long black hair nestled among the stale, dry chips. I've never reviewed a meal, let alone a midweek chippy tea, but this was up there with the worst meals I've ever tried to eat. It's not rocket science, it's fish and chips.

Sunday evening so quite quiet, plenty of orders being made though for just eat etc. They gave my little girl a free fruit shoot while we waited, food was amazing, still hot when we got it home, friendly staff, cooked to order so small wait but nothing less than you'd expect for cooking it fresh.would go back again. Cod and chips, curry sauce. Nice! Not many places open Sunday evening so save the name!

Great fresh food, consistently good I've broken my ankle recently and the staff were really helpful, I ordered and then they bought the food out to the car, fantastic service!

Excellent service and good food

Best Cod and chips in Birmingham, staff are also really friendly.

Not Rio's fault but most of the order was stone cold, small fish also.

Lovely fish and chips.. But the mushy peas and curry sauce were tiny portions.

Great experience friendly staff
