Terry's Restaurant in Scarborough

Went for lunch on Tuesday, 5th Nov. Lovely lady showed me and hubby to a seat. We ordered fish & chip special, which included bread and tea for £18 each. It was quickly brought to us and was delicious. The batter on the fish was really good.

Been for lunch today and was absolutely delicious. Had 2 cod and chips with peas ,beautiful cod and the batter was perfect .Would definitely visit again

Lovely little place we got there just before 12 for lunch it got busy, so I was glad we went early the staff are nice and the fish was lovely

There's only 2 things that smell of fish and one of them is fish

Great place to eat , we had cod, chips and mushy peas ... absolutely delicious!

It’s 2024, the whole world understands how important it is to cater for allergies, gluten free is not that difficult if you think sensibly. Tiny restaurants in 3rd world countries can do it. Just saying you can eat chips is frankly unacceptable. There are reviews from 4 years ago saying the same. Do better. 4 people (2 disabled) so I put up with no choices and a tiny ridiculous basket of chips. £64 for 3 people to eat and 1 person to essentially watch. Very poor.

My 2nd visit here was just as good. Staff friendly, it's not too badly priced and has a nice atmosphere.

The fish was the best I’ve had in ages!

Just called in on spec .and wow crispy battery on over fish and so fresh best we have had for ages. Now don't go telling every one or we will not get in .

My partner and I are staying in Whitby for a few days for our anniversary and decided to have a fish dinner for our first night here. We landed on Terry's and were honestly a little blown away - this is the best seafood dinner I've had in years. We shared the seafood platter for 2; everything was cooked to perfection, the batter perfectly crispy, and the portions thoroughly filling. (Whitby gin goes down very smoothly too!) Would happily recommend this to anyone - the service was extremely efficient and friendly too.

So many fish and chips shops in Whitby, but we chose well. Terry's is cozy, very clean, very welcoming and with great food and service. Doesn't feel like the standard sit in chip shop. Individual booths; feels like a proper restaurant and an atmosphere to match. Staff perfectly dressed with an honest friendliness. Food first rate, which is obviously the main thing. Highly recommended.

Asked for the haddock special at £18 each and asked for the fish extra well done to get it crispy Included tea and bread and butter and mushy peas When it arrived it appeared ok but the batter inside was wet and soggy The fish inside was very good and I enjoyed it Later the waitress asked if everything was okay I told her about the soggy batter She said fine and walked off She returned with the bill and left it on the table Two minutes later the waiter asked if I was ready to pay to which I replied No , I’ll pay when we are finished drinking our tea It was as if we were being thrown out When I paid they again asked me if everything was okay to which I replied about the soggy batter Her response was that she would let someone know We left after having paid We’ve been many times before without an issue. They to keep up their standards even if they are busy

Fabulous service and the fish pie is outstanding! Better than the ones at gastro eateries! Definitely recommend. Will absolutely be going back!

Visited Terry’s for lunch and have to say it was absolutely delicious! My husband and both ordered from the specials menu. I had dressed crab salad and chips, which was gorgeous. My husband ordered the seafood chowder… Oh My Goodness!!! Absolutely divine! Mussels, shrimp, prawns and haddock in a creamy sauce, I’d guess white wine, cream and whole grain mustard, probably the best lunch we’ve ever had. Staff were lovely, and we thought reasonably priced, especially considering the size of the portions

Excellent food, thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be returning

Really enjoyed our food, everyone talks about the Magpie fish and chips in Whitby as being amazing, but we always have our dog with us and they aren’t allowed in the cafe. No such problem at Terrys, we and our dog were made very welcome a dog bowl was delivered as soon as we arrived. The food was absolutely AWESOME I am not sure how fish and chips could be any better, well done to everyone

All staff wonderfully friendly and helpful, food was amazing - crispiest fish and chips and scampi super fresh and lovely! Would definitely come back if here again.

Visited Terry's yesterday and honestly the fish and chips were divine ...The batter on the fish was incredible,and the cod perfectly cooked..If you get the chance you try Terry's it's a real game changer ..Well done to all at Terry's fish and chips we will defo be back again 😘

This place could be absolutely lovely, minus the teen girl staff with attitude.

First time in Terry's fish bar was seated very quickly lots of choices on the menu had the yorksire special ,service was quick and effective. Food was lovely and tasty great would highly recommend good prices plus its doggie friendly

I asked for the Fish Pie that wasn’t on the menu inside. The waitress asked the chef and he cooked the best fish pie I’ve ever eaten! Totally recommend. Great service and devine food

Excellent fish n chips. Perfect mushy peas. Faultless service.

The best fish pie my husband has ever eaten, amazing price and decent portions, the Whitby scampi was spot on too, juicy fresh and the best chips I’ve eaten in a fair while.

This place is a gem. Hidden in plain site. I’ve been to Whitby a few times but who ever have changed the place have made in marvellous for families across the board(family) pets. The food is amazing and up there with magpies in Whitby. Long may it continue. Looking forward to my next visit to this harbour restaurant for pets and family’s

Reasonably priced and really nice fish and chips. Let down by the insanely long wait even when quiet, I started to think they take the order then go and catch the fish themselves.

Honestly, hands down the best fish and chips I have ever eaten! 10/10 + , the service the atmosphere, staff were so friendly/attentive, and ... lovely I could take my dog in , looking forward to my next visit !

Beautiful food , nice restaurant cod and chips was excellent

£11.50 haddock and chips. Small portion compared to other Whitby chippies. Haddock was very thin, not much fish at all. Chips were okay. Both were quite greasy though.

Had a lovely meal in here. Despite being a Saturday food arrived quickly. Best chip buttie I’ve had in a long time, Good curry sauce too.

Had 2 excellent meals one with friends and one just family, whilst we were up on holiday, excellent service and Dog friendly, bought our dog out a bowl of water and cooked and cut her a sausage when we asked for one, highly recommend and will be back next holiday up in Yorkshire

Some of the best seafood I've ever eaten. We had the seafood platter and every bit of it was perfectly cooked. The batter was light and the fish (as you would hope in Whitby) was so fresh tasting. The share platter was great value at £32. The Scottish lady who served us was super friendly. It was a great meal. Oh and deep fried black pudding. A revelation.

We had the haddock very thin piece of fish covered in four times the thickness of batter poor compared to the fish and chips we had today which was £18 cheaper for the same meals but the portion size and quality were superior in the waterside north shields

Fantastic fish and chips. Beautifully light, crispy batter on the haddock I ordered, and chips cooked to perfection. A family member had gravy with their meal and declared it "possibly the best gravy I've ever had." Waiting staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back!

Immaculate Gravy! Best Gravy EVER! fish and chips were banging too!

This was the first night of our holiday in Whitby and unfortunately everywhere was very full, but we spotted this restaurant that had empty tables, (on hindsight this should have been a clue) so we sat and both ordered fish and chips, because Whitby is famous for these right? I also ordered mushy peas. The meal arrived quickly but that was okay because they have a takeaway as well. The chips were barely warm and my fish batter was undercooked and mushy in places and this spoiled the taste of the fish, and the mushy peas were bland and had no flavour. Strike one for Whitby.

The food was delicious but the toilets are a mess and really nasty. They are genderneutral toilets and unfortunately most men can't pee normally. So the toilets are riddled with urine and it's not clean at all. Please clean it more frequent if this is the policy you want to have.

Both my self and my husband ate here last night - staff a credit to the place, couldn’t do enough for you, pleasant demeanour, just how serving staff should be - top of the class. Food was good, quickly out and hot. Although please ditch the boards, it makes it difficult to keep your food on it.

Beware ridiculous prices average food small portions we were totally ripped off avoid !

Went to Terrys due to have a family dog with us, they were sooooo patient with us as we need to seat four adults and three children. Great service, amazing food and a fantastic atmosphere. We would definitely return!

Had our first visit to Terry’s in Whitby yesterday. What a marvellous experience. Great food and service and would definitely be back.

The food was lovely, nice calm atmosphere on what was a very very busy summers day. The staff were exceptional, the lovely lady who greeted us kept us informed about the wait time for a table - she said there was a five minute wait and it was just that - no longer. The staff were very polite, professional, attentive and very fast, I was amazed that the young team had a table cleared, cleaned and reset before the exiting customers had even got to the door - can’t fault this place - we will be back, thank you

The service was wonderful ther was a wee man called Jayden he treated us with a charming smile and gave us a very polite experience because of this you d man it made my day so I would request going here as the food was delicious and they have wonderful staff like olly Homer who was also a very nice tall man as he laughed and smiled so I reckoned they have a raise 5 stars from me

We called here yesterday for two portions of chips and curry sauce. When my husband received his change of £9 he asked the lady on the till to check this as he should have received £9.80. The lady was insisting this was what the till paid out but we tried to encourage her to add this up as it was clearly wrong. A chap then appeared from behind the counter constantly telling us to give the lady a chance as she was only young.We understood that but we still wanted the right change. He then turned to my husband and said you are clearly 'an old man'! Never have we been so insulted by staff and will most definitely never return!!

It overpriced £ 20 for fish and chips for Takeaway. The chips were hard, and the fish was small. never again

Great place, wonderful service, absolutely delicious food. Very large portions, reasonable prices. Dogs friendly. I highly recommend it, we will come back.

I highly recommend Terry's restaurant, the service is very good, the food is delicious and prices reasonable.

The best fried fish I have eaten. Very fresh with a thin batter. Well appointed, clean, relaxed with good service. Probably not the cheapest, got what we paid for and was not disappointed.

Lovely piece of cod. Friendly service. Just a wee bit greasy for my taste, but I am fussy about that sort of thing. After all it was Fish and Chips!

Portion size- small Quality of chips- average Fish portion -okay Atmosphere -we were the only people in there Venue- glass dividers between each booth were loose and rattly. Walked in and Sat down staff continued conversations and took an age to come over. All polite friendly. After being served, they just continued to stand around chatting to each other with nothing to do. Toilet bin was completely overflowing.

Been before so we knew the food was nice. We were looking for somewhere to have lunch on this recent trip and managed to be seated within 10 minutes. Service is great and quick too.

After being told to go here there and everywhere for fish and chips in Whitby, we settled on Terry's, looked clean and tidy, our Miniature schnauzer drank the water and we waited not very long for either a table or the meal. Well what can I say I had the special mixed fish platter, with a side of chips (which were unnecessary and were not finished) the fish was amazing, red hot, fresh and really soft with lots of flavour. Highly recommend, if I'm being ultra picky the tartar sauce would have done for me, but a bigger one instead of the spicy mayo, but like I say mega picky, and highly recommended

Absolutely lovely food the batter on the fish was so light. Generous portions. Also they were very dog friendly which was a plus for us as we have a Labrador. Excellent service couldn’t fault anything. Well done keep up the excellent work 👍

We went here today with our 2 dogs there was no problem seating us with the dogs also offered water for them. The fish and chips were delicious the dish was so white and fresh, we also ordered a sausage for the dogs which came already cut for them. We would recommend terrys every day of the week the staff are extremely helpful and friendly

Nice place to stop off and enjoy fish and chips! Lovely and clean. Staff are really friendly & food was lovely and fresh.

Take away scampi and chips. Excellent, best scampi I’ve ever had. Fishcake also excellent.

Very nice cosy reasturaunt food good quality nicely served prices very competitive nice friendly young staff

After a quick look at the menu we decided to try this place for lunch. Wanting to have something more than fish and chips we ordered the seafood platter for 2. It was lovely but the reason for 4 stars was simply it wasn’t hot. Warm mussels aren’t the best which was a shame really. It all tasted nice and was well presented but just lacking in the heat.

Food was ‘ok’ but pricey for what we had x2 small fish and chips and a large , and small chips and sausage, with 2 drinks - £70, fish is thin, but welcomed dogs so was best choice for us for a sit down out of the wind and staff were friendly

During our visit to Whitby we had excellent fish and chips from Terry's, staff very friendly and the place is clean and fresh. Unfortunately we waited over 40mins for food due to an issue with ticket order so we marked it down from 5 points. Definitely worth a visit.

Great service from Sarah g and very tasty food. Would recommend definitely.

Nice fish and chips quite pricey but they all seem to be in Whitby. Girl on counter was lovely even though she was really busy

Best fish and chips I've ever had Dog friendly

Great Food, amazing staff 10/10 My go to chippy at Whitby and the Food is amazing and very fresh , wait times are never long and the. Staff are super helpful and friendly. , the place is very clean and modern Recommend trying :)

Thought we would treat ourselves while in whitby and I had the cod and chips and daughter had chicken nuggets and chips both where very good friendly helpful staff and really enjoyed it

We visited Terrys Restaurant after taking a stroll down the pier to visit the lobster hatchery and amusements. We had a little wait at the door as the waitresses were busy however after 5 mins or so we were seated. We have a pram so was a bit of a struggle to get to the very back table as there was also other prams and a wheelchair, my only issue with this is that they were parked both sides which meant me bumping into a pram and a wheelchair. Nevertheless we managed, after making a couple of apologies along the way. The menus were already at the table which was great as we could select our food without having to wait for anyone to come and give us the menus, we did this straight away however had to wait a further 10 mins for someone to come and take our order. The waitress was great so we can live with a little wait….that being said from the moment of order to our food arriving was nearly an hour, which isn’t good as our baby had woken up and needed feeding and we had an hungry boy who was getting quite upset (Hangry). We could have understood if the restaurant was packed but it didn’t seem that busy to us. We did recognise a couple of other customers seemed to be in the same position as us. When the food arrived and although it came with no apology for delay it really was amazing, I had the surf and turf burger, which was cooked to perfection, my wife had the pulled pork burger and our boy had fish bits - Nothing but positive things to say about the food, although no one to say it too as no one came to our table to ask of everything was ok whilst we were there. We did feel a little rushed at the end as one of the waitresses kept coming to our booth and looking at our plates - This was purely due to their being a queue. Overall, I would go back as I can live with the waiting times but just not with a baby and a 4 year old. I would recommend the surf and turf burger to anyone.

Looks nice but that's all since it's refurb. Popped in as the magpie queue was down the street, ordered 2 haddock and chips with mushy peas husband was concerned about portion size by looking at what the waiting staff were carrying around and wondered if we should have a starter. I said oh no its haddock chips and mushy peas at 17 quid it'll be a decent portion well it wasn't I ordered coffee and white bread and butter, I think they forgot about us as the people behind who came in about 30 minutes after us actually got there bread with drinks my coffee was finished when the food came and I had to ask for the bread and there wasn't any left so had to have brown. Now the haddock and chips the haddock was just batter and the chips came in a stupid basket so tiny portions I asked for scraps when I got the bill I was charged for them for the first time in my 44 years on this planet 🤦‍♀️😬😂 Ordered scampi chips and mushy peas to takeaway for my son what a farce that was had to go in the takeaway part to pay and collect them even though the guy Saif he could bring the card reader through for me, anyhooooo got handed a tiny box and asked for 11 quid got in the car opened them no mushy peas which I was charged for and the most miserable and tiny looking portion of scampi and chips I've ever seen. Moral off the story is when everywhere else is busy but somewhere isn't there's a reason for that. Ripped off in the restaurant ripped off in the takeaway go elsewhere

What a fantastic place with great food and great staff. Absolutely adored the lady in reception who was so honest and accommodating. The fish, chips and mushy peas were perfect. I want to go back already but will wait until November.

We were served by Jackie this evening. Food was beautiful and service 10/10. Would come again x

Would not go back. Soggy cod bites, greasy soggy chips, very small portions for the price. Very expensive drinks. Poor service. Children's cod bites £8 came with two chicken nuggets size bits of fish and about 10 small chips. Inattentive staff, chef / cook came and sat behind front desk chatting loudly to staff in restaurant whilst blowing bubbles on chewing gum. Waitress came to clear table and said 'is it the bill then' no offer of pudding or more drinks. Shame for Whitby and it's history for fish and chips.

Staff we're polite and smiled but meal was way over priced for the portion. We waited for 20 mins for fish and chips for 5 people which we couldn't understand as the fish and chip takeaway was empty but we waited patiently even though my wife's tea was cold by the time the order arrived. We were pretty shocked when we saw the tiny fish and chips delivered to our table which cost £15 per portion and we had ordered the regular size so can't imagine what the small portion is. So if you want to pay £15 for tiny fish and chips then this is the place

This is a lovely fish and chip restaurant lovely food lovely staff nothing to much trouble and very welcoming with well behaved dogs 🐕

Great quality food, nice atmosphere and very polite staff I would recommend it to anyone visiting Whitby. 9/10 personally larger portions sizes on the chips but still filled me up.

We had a wonderful meal at Terrys restaurant this evening. It was a really cold day in Whitby and we were just about to go back to the car to head home when we passed what looked like a lovely place AND they were dog friendly too! Staff were all absolutely fantastic from the moment we walked in. We hadn’t even taken our seats and they brought water over for our pup. The food and the desserts were gorgeous! Definitely recommend the cinder toffee sundae and apple crumble. The place had a wonderful bistro feel to it and it was just so cosy, music and lighting created a lovely atmosphere too, especially on the dark nights. We absolutely loved it and will be back soon.

I've been to Terry's before & had a lovely plate of heavenly fish & chips fantastic atmosphere, starf are great 👍, however went new years eve ,had two large fish & chips & two small ....no fish in small portion 😔 you were so busy didn't have the heart to complain sorry guys wasn't right on the day ,but we will be back !! 😀

ideal restaurant,have tried all the other famous fish and chip establishments in Whitby this is my favorite ,even dog friendly our westie just sat under the table .Had the scampy and chips the wife had fish and chips but I had to have a side order of battered black pudding ,beautiful

Was on a family trip in whitby and found this gem of a place. Super location just by the harbour lovely food and dog friendly too. Staff were all friendly and attentive and couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely return next time we are in whitby

We visited on New Year's Day when they were really busy. Fantastic food, we didn't have to wait very long the service was brilliant and the front of house lady was so welcoming. Definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be back soon

Very clean and welcoming. Prompt service. Nice fresh food, dog friendly. Would recommend to all. Thank you fy a nice meal.

What a lovely place. Friendly staff, excellent food and dog friendly. This place is definitely worth a vist

We went to Terry's for late lunch while on holiday and visiting Whitby. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble, even bringing a water bowl for our greyhound to have a drink, Yes they allow dogs inside. Would highly recommend 👌. We will be going back.

Dog friendly, lovely restaurant simply the best fish and chips I’ve ever tasted, lovely staff greeted us, we tucked our dogs under the table in our booth and enjoyed a 10/10 cod chips and peas done in old fashioned beef dripping

Fish and chips did nothing for the fish, or the chips. Oily flavour and poor cooking. Music far too loud. Chilly. Both doors open. Dogs allowed. Friendly but basic service. A sea front chip shop with a lovely cafe attached!

Excellent cod & chips, beer & dessert. Service great & restaurant section.

We took a nice work trip to Whitby on Saturday and we stumbled across Terry's so, decided this was the place we would have our dinner. The atmosphere was great and the team were very friendly however, when we received our food, one of my friends discovered a hair in the curry sauce. We did not mention this to the staff as we are not ones for complaining however, thought it would be best to let other people know to watch out for hairs in the food.

I had fish pie at terrys and it was absolutely gorgeous. I had fish pie at magpie and just want to say terrys beats the magpie hands down

Wow! By far, it is the worst restaurant I have been to in years. Incredibly disappointed after a lovely day in whitby, we decided to finish off the day in this restaurant. The fish was mostly batter, smallest fish we have seen (ordered the medium). The only choice was small or medium. Wouldn't like to imagine what the small fish looks like? Peas came halfway through eating. Chips tasted so greasy, all finger ends, Had to ask for the peas and some tartar sauce. Fish pie had no sauce in whatsoever, incredibly dry to eat. At the end of our meal, the waitress asked how it was, I politely told her it was not good, no reply was given! I would not want to ever visit this restaurant again. Take a wide berth!

We visited during a day trip, mainly because they promoted that they are dog friendly. The restaurant was clean, well presented, and the staff were very welcoming. Fantastic menu and the food that arrived was fresh and high quality. I would definitely recommend!

We found Terry's whilst looking for somewhere dog friendly and being in Whitby I was keen to sample some fish and chips. I have to say I was delighted with our meal. I had haddock and chips and it was excellent. Very tasty and the haddock really tender with a lovely batter and perfect chips. My desert of apple crumble and ice cream was also very nice. My wife went fora chip butty which was huge, our son had battered sausage with a side of calamari and his girlfriend a lasagne. All reported plenty of flavour. The atmosphere was good with some chilled music playing and a really lovely touch was on the TV screen there was a film showing Whitby during the summer and the things the town has to offer. The service was friendly without being over the top and although the bill came in at £25 per head, that included drinks, desserts and sides so was not too bad, especially as it tasted superb. I would definitely recommend and would undoubtedly visit again.

We lived in whitby 17 years and the worst fish and chips have ever had. Will never go again. Very expensive as well for what you get bones in the fish chips tested like they’ve been there a week like they’ve been cooked for a week

Great fish and chips, mushy peas the best in town. Great service,lovely local lady serving who was very helpful and friendly. 👍🙏👍

One of the best if not the best of outside London haddock fish and chips I've had. Omg. The restaurant was well decorated and had a good seating layout. Well spaced. The staff were friendly. Prices were well balanced for the amazing meal we had. Platter for two is well worth it. 😍 HIGHLY RECOMMEND ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great chippi. Handy that it has a takeout booth/window separate to the restaurant, this made ordering and collecting food much easier when on your own with a large dog! Lol. Staff were pleasant and open to chat. A very friendly feel with good old fashioned whitby fish n chips.

First time visit on evening of Sun 8th Oct. The restaurant was bereft of diners, but looked warm and welcoming so thought lets give it a try. We were a party of six, plus our two dogs. It welcomes dogs so this was a real bonus. The choice was very good, and the service was equally attentive and very good. The meals arrived very quickly, all looking very well presented and more than adequate for a rewarding 'fish and chip supper'. By the time we had all finished, quite a number of other diners had joined us, and all seemed happy with the food and service. The meal came to £80ish for six which in my opinion is perfectly reasonable. The food was delicious and very tasty for all of us. My son who is a little more daring had mussels and thought they too were delicious, as he finished what was quite a sizable serving. And not to forget, thank you very much to the young ladies that served us, and so thank you Terry's for making our evening meal so enjoyable. Only once have I eaten a Magpies takeaway. I thought it was nothing special and now consider it overrated. I've had much better elsewhere, so as far as restaurants go, tryTerry's. I cannot vouch for portions, but it may well be cheaper and far better quality. Thank you.

We came in for fish & chips on a Saturday night, the actual fish was lovely but everything else was barely mediocre. The music was far too loud & when we asked for it turned down they did, but barely 20 minutes later it was turned back up. It didn’t help that the music choice was dreadful. The waitresses all looked about 12 year old & had about as much personality as a wet fish. Extremely expensive for a sea side chippy; £3.50 for a can of pop is daylight robbery and £12.50 for jumbo sausage & chips served on what can only be described as a tea plate is downright theft. Toilets left a lot to be desired. AVOID!

Terrys was very welcoming and dog friendly too , we had been trying to find somewhere to eat at lunchtime inside as it was a bit cold. Most of the places wouldn’t let dogs inside but Terrys did. The food was exactly what we wanted, haddock & chips special and scampi and chips were excellent and the service was friendly and efficient too.

My husband,dog, and I went to Whitby for the day. After looking for a dog friendly fish restaurant we came across Terrys and decided to give it a try It is spotlessly clean and had individual cubicle type seating which is excellent when you have a dog The young lady serving was friendly, and very attentive We both ordered cod and chips with mushy peas. It was really delicious I would highly recommend it

Popped in for lunch , very pleasant staff and surroundings. Clean and cosy seating Food was exceptional especially hubbys Spicy Cod Burger , would also recommend the scampi...beautiful and fresh produce. Will deffo be back .

Fantastic food we had fish chips to share. Staff were really nice.very impressive

This restaurant ticked all the boxes for my wife, myself, our 4 friends and 4 dogs. The biggest surprise was that they welcomed dogs on carpeted areas (almost unheard of in the UK). The food was superb, the decor pleasant and modern, the staff efficient and attentive. The prices were reasonable and the menu extensive. None of us could find any faults and would all love to return.

Staff were friendly and professional and quick to serve and seat us. The food was delicious and well presented. The restaurant itself was clean and cosey. Dogs were also welcome.
