Tailend in Dundee City

You can get fish gougons if a whole fish is too much. Pot of tea, bread and choice of sides included in fish meal. Lovely light batter and great chips!

We fell here by chance, because other places were closed. The dining room is on the ground floor, and there is no internet. But it is eaten well and comfortable. My first fish and chips were very tasty, and the portion was generous. They serve adults and children well, and there is a free children's menu for little ones with an app (I don't have one). The rest of the dishes were also very popular. The price is perhaps a little lower than what is usually found in the area, although we ordered quite normal things (fish and chips and a hamburger). The same if you go to oysters and other delicacies goes up.

Amazing. Food great. Personnel great.

Lovely, unique seafood restaurant in a vibrant part of Dundee. Staff were friendly and easy to chat to, and the food was tasty, and the place had a quietly cosy feel. I even got to read a couple of children's books written by the restaurant's head chef - one very funny, one very beautiful.

AMAZING - staff are so helpful and kind, went in with limited time and got served what was the best fish and chips I think I’ve ever had. Was such speedy but nice service. Very clean and good atmosphere. Not sure of staffs name but it was three girls working and they were so good

Wonderful seafood restaurant in Dundee~ Mussel madness on Sunday is the best choice ~

Amazing food, absolutely loved it. I'll be coming back.

The fish from tailend is simply a cut above the rest and tartare sauce is a must. Also ordered the fried halloumi which was delicious.

if this wasn't the only takeaway my sister could eat due to dietary restrictions, I would never order from here again. more than once we've gotten chicken goujons instead of fish, on busier nights they just move your order further back until you're starving by the time it arrives, the chips are incredibly bland and half the time the fritters aren't cooked all the way. on its best night, the food is fine

Really nice and cozy dining experience.

Can’t believe how good the food is here!

Great night out as usual. The food is amazing.

Delicious typical fish and chips with home made sauce. A bit strange to be in the cellar but all fine

I don’t have a problem with Tailend. Their food is delicious as always, and the time of the food getting here was okay. It was the deliverer’s attitude. I don’t know why she was so rude, but she repeatedly was knocking on my door, not giving me a moment to walk over to it, and handed me only one side of the bag so it nearly fell as I took it, and sped off. Tailend gets a thumbs up, delivery woman a major thumbs down.

Best fish and chips in Dundee. Had the mussels with cream & white wine sauce it was delicious. The service was excellent friendly and very professional.

I just had the most amazing lunch! I enjoyed a scrumptious fish taco with salmon and a delightful beetroot salad. The food was fantastic, and the vibe of the place was truly the icing on the cake. The restaurant is so authentic with beautiful decor on every wall. Even though it looks small from the outside, it opens up to more than 50 seats downstairs, making the experience really unique and immersive. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and an unforgettable atmosphere! The portion size was really generous, and I had a Diet Coke with the fish tacos and the salmon pizza salad, all for around 28 pounds.

I usually select a place to eat based upon previous reviews. I could not have been more wrong about Tailend. Even though they weren't busy, and a large open table was right in front of us, we were told that they couldn't accommodate us. There was only one other group in the place at that time. We kinda had to assert ourselves and they finally sat us. In retrospect, I wish we hadn't had. Service was horrible. We ordered 2 plates of scallops. We received three. 4 scallops on one plate and three on each of the others. They were overcooked as it was. Never received a salad that we had ordered, but it was on the check. The food was too expensive for what they offered. Only one dish out of 7 was actually good. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. We will not be returning!!

Just finished my haggis supper and halloumi fritter. Holy Marley was that good! The curry sauce was on another level too. Will be back

We were a group of ten people, a family with kids, went to eat here. The two female staff members who served us were extremely rude and arrogant. We felt totally unwelcome. We didn’t do nothing which could have made them uncomfortable. The male staff member was very polite and friendly. But both female staff members were rude and disrespectful. Food was ok but the place was like a dungeon.

Lovely seafood restaurant. Food was amazing. Staff was friendly.

Seriously good fish and chips, lovely service and nice decor. Absolutely recommend. Fish was delicious thank you.

Fabulous gluten free options, recommend the chips and onion rings and curry sauce.

Had forgotten how delicious the food was and was wondering why I don't visit Tailend more frequently. Fresh, tasty dishes, large portions and good service. Very quiet at 5 pm when we visited which suited us fine. Clean and relaxing inside. Stairs are maybe a disadvantage if you have any difficulties.

They seated my family of 7 without a reservation, and everything came out very fast. The food tasted great as well.

Worst fish and chips Dundee and St Andrews

Lovely fish restaurant in Dundee’s city centre. Beautiful food and excellent service! The staff were really lovely, helpful and very accommodating even though we arrived late. My husband had the haddock and chips and said it was the best he’d ever eaten! I had the hot smoked salmon salad which was so fresh and tasty! Highly recommended if you want great food and service at very reasonable prices!

Terrible and fish was really oily and batter wet and soggy like it had been cooked in cold oil or

Excellent food at affordable prices. We had grilled haddock with chilli and garlic sauce and it was superb, the fillet was generous and had been expertly cleaned. There was plenty to eat too and a single course was more than enough to satisfy a large appetite.

Got a white pudding supper and a sausage supper. Have to say I never knew a white pudding was a yellow colour. And the sausage supper left a teast after. Ended up putting in the bin and found another chippy WASTE OF MONEY

Food excellent, staff friendly and helpful. Online ordering appalling awkward off-putting.

Reasonable range of beers...would be better if staff was more engaging

Soggy AF. Shouldn't have changed from my usual trusted victors.

Worst meal ever. Fish was all thick batter and chips were dry, full of eyes and inedible. Place not as good as once was.

Came here with my daughters..fish cakes are very tasty you can actually taste the smoky fish..you get 2 with chips and salad too..fish goujons were lovely as well

fantastic gluten free fish supper, delivered right on time.

Really good meal. Arrived on time. Good service

What a brilliant chippie. The fish was delicious. Lovely layout and great selection of drinks. Quality place

I had dinner here one evening during the week. The place is elegant yet informal. The staff is friendly. I had scallops as a starter and then a fantastic fish and chips. The quality of the fish was extraordinary and the flavors were delightful. The gin pairings were a great match.

no delivery made, money taken from account

Great seafood place in Dundee city center!! The restaurant is in the basement. The top is the take out area. The waitresses are very friendly and hospitality. The seafood is very fresh and delicious. The place is small, so please make reservations before you go. We waited for 45 minutes and took a walk around the city center. Also, their oysters are running out quickly. Recommend to do a lunch or early dinner.

The gluten free fish'n'chips was fabulous, curry sauce ? - liquid gold

Visited 26 May while in the city for a mother daughter break. Really fancied fish and chips and remembered I had heard of this restaurant so thought we would give it a try. Generously portioned and was tasty. Enjoyed the portion of onion rings but batter was a bit on the thin side. Would visit again.

perfect portion size, and perfectly cooked, very tasty

The food was delicious. We had scallops, salmon and fish&chips. All was high quality and very tender. And for a good price. The restaurant is in a basement; for people with diminished mobility an elevator is available.

Food was look warm. Fish excellent

Absolutely delicious fish and chips. Yummy 😋

Very delicious 😋 Thank you very much 🌸

The drivers dumped the food on my dropped food on opposite neighbors doormat, didn't wait for anyone, and then left it there. I picked it up but it was a strange delivery.

Excellent quality. Piping hot with crispy batter and super fresh fish. Cannae ask for any more!

Food was tasty but almost walked out as I stood there for five minutes waiting for the girl to drag herself away from her phone and serve me. It was only because one of the guys pointed out there was a customer just seconds before I turned and left

food delicious, pity 1 item was missing but overall great!

Food was good chips where fresh, fast speedy service for takeaway

The quality of the food was nothing like it is when you eat in the restaurant avoid delivery food was overly oily and very dissatisfied requested a refund got told it was there style by just eat won’t be going back to restaurant now either as has put me off the food all together

I ordered threw just eat a few days ago to say the food is nothing like the quality when your eating in is an understatement beyond disappointed the whole experience has put me and my family off going back to restaurant also put in refund request threw just eat to be told it’s there style because the food was overly oily and greasy

Waiting over a hour for 3 fish and chips and a kids meal. Kids eat free apart from being charged almost £5 for a kids bowl of ice cream. Gone for a 5⭐experience to a 1⭐ in a couple of years.

Food was cold waited nearly 2 hours for delivery

One of the best seafood experiences I’ve had in the uk! My family had the haddock, arboath smoky, salmon and monkfish, and ALL of it was so fresh, and simply prepared, delicious, and fairly priced. Our waitress was also super kind and considerate. Would travel out of my way to return!

Tailend was one of my go to places for a quick bite to eat, however it’s quickly been engulfed in lots of delivery orders and they seem to get more of a priority in regards to the customers actually in-store. It took me 12 minutes to get a large portion of chips. The standard typical chippy usually has you in and out the door within minutes but I guess regardless on how much you order you must wait. I thought considering the other people around me was ordering things that had to be cooked anyways, surely it wouldn’t be unfair to get the smaller order out first and then once everything is ready for the customers with the bigger orders then pull that together? That’s just my opinion but I guess it’s your choice to do it that way. Also ti put the nail in the coffin… the chips taste like onion.

Chips were ok ,not super,the batter was thin and not much taste,above average

I just went to the St Andrews tail end I was appalled by there shocking behaviour me and my friends went to go and get chips as we arrived there was a young girl giving a nasty look and her co workers were looking at my friend and shaking their heads. this made my friend and us feel uncomfortable. and as we turned to leave their eyes were glued to us. Just know they had something to say will not be visiting again

I had takeaway 5 star plus excellent quality of food and service There is a restaurant downstairs with lift access (ask staff)

St andrews taiilend is very different to dundee. Very disappointing

Supper meal as picture but no peas?

The most Sketchy chippy I've ever attempted to eat at. What on earth is this place

Haddock Goujons were really nice, could have been better if it had been hot, the chips were very disappointing, quite large and not fully cooked and unfortunately they were cold. Perhaps if the delivery driver had a bag for keeping food hot, this situation wouldn’t arise again.

This is the second time I’ve had to go looking for the delivery. The deliverer got lost/couldn’t find the address. It’s not hard to find! Also second time food was not hot.

Fish very nice, chips OK. Price not too bad

Food was cold and the dinning room was very cold will not go back

Had lunch there on Saturday (10/2) while in Dundee visiting daughters at university. What a great experience. The basement restaurant is cosy and welcoming, the staff friendly and prompt, and the food delicious; my Arbroath smokie was perfectly cooked. We enjoyed it so much we lingered over a second bottle of wine before heading to The Phoenix for the rugby. Be sure to eat here.

Fish lovely, chips a bit dry. Can't believe they have the sheer cheek to charge 1.70 for this microscopic portion of curry sauce.

The tastiest fish in town. Although I only visit Dundee once a year, I definitely visit Tailend Dundee - the fish is prepared deliciously, the portions are large, and the service is excellent. Thank you

Everything was good. Attractive interior, friendly service and lovely food. Excellent craft beer on tap. Kids eat free.

Not everything arrived. Both chips were missing as we ordered two suppers. Is there a way for refund?

Sorry no picks, I visited here for lunch today with the wife. They do mussel madness on BBC a Sunday, big bowl of lovely mussels, big bowl of chunky chips, crusty bread and butter and a glass of decent wine for a tenner, it was dynamite 🧨 👌🏻

Absolutely delicious fish and tartar sauce!

Fish burger & chips it was lovely

Best fish and chips in Dundee, the food arrived quickly and was presented in a fashion traditional to fish and chips.... The haddock was crispy, chips golden and crunchy, tartare sauce punchy, peas green 🙂. Yes my picture is of an empty plate and yes it was that good! Coffee was also very good.

Ordered 2 jumbo sausage suppers , single white pudding and 2x curry sauce ! All food stale , cold , chips were definitely not fresh - cooked about 5 times ! Curry sauce tasted weird - not like curry sauce! Definitely will not be back £22.80 wasted

Yuck chips some that shouldn’t have passed quality control and very stingy portions of curry sauce and mushy peas for the price. Also onion rings lacking of onion and stone cold on arrival. Pretty poor and disgusting.

Very disappointed. Been here many times and it has been great. However tonight was not a pleasant experience. Restaurant was quiet! Ordered 7 starters however only 6 arrived. Waited patiently for last meal. Did not arrive until test were finished. Sadly same happened for main course!!! Six of us received and finished meal. Meal 7 never arrived nor did the second plate of onion rings. Asked and was told it was a mix up. Asked to speak to person in charge to overhear her saying if they want to speak to me they can come and find me!!!! Told server I was not paying for the late meals. Heard young girl allegedly in charge phoning obviously manager of owner. Outcome was that we did not get charged for the late meals nor our drinks which were all soft drinks. Would not recommend and will not be back. It has certainly lost its credibility and confidence with us. Meal was nothing special either

Me and my son got fish and chips from hear,the best wee have had for a long time,5star all the way

Got a takeaway on Friday evening. Fish was lovely but the chips were dreadful.

Restaurant indicated on this app that the food had been delivered when it hadn't even been given to a driver. Only found out when we called. Eventually got the food but would have appreciated not being given false info on the app. And it was very late.

A really nice fish supper and the best mushy peas I have tasted

About 50 minutes after the delivery time slot which was already 1 hour. Not really good enough. Especially if your charing £5 delivery fee.

delivery late and food was going cold

Over an hour and a half from order to me contacting restaurant further delay in delivery. This meant that food was not very warm. Very disappointing

Fish was really good. The only small snag was some chips were dry. Apart from that the rest of the chips were good. Another positive is the plaice still does good portion sizes like its sister branch :)

I was incredibly disappointed with my visit, and it genuinely left myself and the other members of my party feeling frustrated due to number of constant issues we endured throughout the time we spent here. At the very beginning, we made a reservation as we were a party of six. Upon arrival, our table was not ready as other patrons had been seated at our table resulting in them having to be moved, and my family and I having to wait awkwardly while this happened. It wouldn't have been too much of an issue for myself but what made it more annoying was the staff having to go back and forth in a tight corridor and me having to move out their way with not even an excuse me. When we were eventually seated, we required a baby seat and one was provided, however, it had not been cleaned from whomever used it last. The waiter apologised for this and wiped the baby seat down for us. We then were asked what drinks we were having. The majority of the party opted for Coke and the waiter went to arrange this. A moment later, the waiter returned to advise they didn't have coke. Our food arrived, and whilst the majority of it looked and tasted great, the two chicken dishes were served and the chicken looked pink. We notified the waiters and both meals were taken away and replaced. This meant that the party could not enjoy their meal at the same time. It's important to note that the staff were apologetic and comped the drinks and the two meals that were replaced, but overall the experience was really disappointing and I could hear the waiters apologising to other tables for other reasons. It might be they were having a bad night, but I don't think I'll be visiting for a while.

Great food, felt it could have had a couple of extra prawns added to the portion.

The food is always delicious and usually the delivery is on time so this was just a blip. They did give me a big slice of gluten free brownie because it was late which I thought was good.

Great food. Beautiful girl behind the counter. Excellent experience.

Great service! Amazing guys. Thank you x

Collection order .. food tasted decent but very very bland no salt or vinegar or sauces which I ordered. Still edible but very tastless

Had fish and chips here previously and they were very good. This time had the Red Thai curry with seafood and it was excellent. My colleague had the burger and he was very happy. Service good and friendly staff 👍🏻🍻

Really excellent place. Being the only chippie in Dundee that serves gluten free options makes it a great and inclusive place. Plus the service is great and the waiters are all lovely.

Nice fish tea ,will be back ,😁😁👍

Best chippy every. So fresh. Absolutely made my day today. Thank you xx

I placed the order around 4pm for a 18:15 delivery slot. Order eventually arrived at 19:00 by which time it had lost a lot of it's heat.

The smokies are amazing and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
