I bought chicken curry yesterday and to say it was disgusting is no exaggeration. The boiled rice was over cooked. The chicken curry was tasteless, the only vegetables in the curry was large pieces of onion. I was a regular customer, not anymore

Been using the Acropolis for decades. Moved away from Ormskirk 8 years ago but occasionally go back just to get their fish and chips. Has been consistently excellent for all the years we have going there

We used to always visit here and thought we would revisit what a mistake we ordered fish and chips for 2 and a sausage for the dog it cost over £24 (quite expensive for a chip shop) and was without doubt the worst fish and chips I had ever had. the chips were soggy and greasy the fish batter was not cooked through and we didn't even give the dog the sausage because it looked so awful we thought it would make her ill. after a couple of mouthfuls we put the whole lot in the bin. What a disappointment neber again

Just had sweet and sour chicken balls from here, the chicken was dry and the batter was soggy, it tasted like it had been microwaved, over priced too..I won't be going to this place again..

Genuinely cannot believe what I have just been charged. 1 sausage dinner, 1 pie dinner, S&P chips, small sausage and chips - £28. The food is tasteless. S&P chips worst I've had. £1.70 for a chippy sausage... seriously, they're less than 20p cost per sausage for jumbo's and you're selling 6's for 10-15 times cost. You can charge less than this in a city centre. Infact, I could name 5 in Liverpool selling better food for cheaper. Avoid - County Fish bar 10x better value

Was quite surprised if how much meals have gone up, and the quality has gone down. Meat in meals was chewy and not as much. From a birthday meal for 8 people and price was 108. Afraid chippy has seen its day for us.

Initially, service was great as served straight away by friendly staff. My requested order was wrapped up ready to go...came to pay using my phone, the staff said sorry it's cash only???? Or you can download the app and pay via that! So, I did as instructed, the app wasn't working so I was told by the staff, go next door to bargain booze, buy something and ask for cash back! Went next door, sorry we can't do that! The staff in bargain booze suggested download the just eat app and pay that way. FFS! Went back in to acropolis and asked if I could do that she said, it will work out more expensive! I said, do know what just forget it! Came out very hungry and disappointed - presume my order went in the bin! What a great way to do business....not!!!!

I wouldn't go here if you want a tasty piece of cod. I have no idea what fish they use. I would go as far to say that the fish there is worse than the fish at parbold chippy. And that is saying something. However the chips were nice and the gravy hence the rating not being a 1 star. Haven't tried the chinese dishes so cannot comment but the reviews on them seem decent. But fish is a no no.

Food was OK but had to wait 25 mins for some chicken nuggets then another 10 mins on top of that for salt & pepper chips coz the girl hadn't ordered them in the back with the rest of the order. Forget ringing a telephone order in, they are always engaged but the phone didn't ring once while I was in there waiting?

This establishment needs to learn the fundamentals of supply and demand. IF YOU CAN’T MEET DEMAND, THEN STOP TAKING ORDERS! Passing through Ormskirk and thought, let’s get a quick chippy. 50 minutes later I was given a fancy box and thought maybe it was worth the wait but when I opened it, immediately my eyes started to sting with the stench of cheap vinegar and my nose hairs started to curl in directions I didn’t know they could. Regardless though, I was hungry so started to dig in and thought, these chips are sharp so stood under the street light and I noticed me chips resembled crisps that only a hardened ninja could eat. My fish looked curiously brown and small, I almost mistook it for another chip or a sardine at best but I ate it and realised the fish must have stayed behind because it felt like I was chewing on the corner of some MDF from the local DIY. If you don’t mind excessive wait times, poor quality food but are in the market for a fancy box then this is for you. Otherwise, go get yourself a meal deal (with crisp).

Called in today 20th October on my way to Southport. Had my heart set on a kebab but they no longer serve them at lunch time. So my second choice was a sausage dinner. I have to say the dinner is pricey but the food was lovely. Peas, gravy, sausage and chips all very tasty and plentiful.

The previous reviews tell you everything you normally need to know. Last two Sundays though (when we use them) the quality has been quite poor. Soggy chips and fish without the usual crunch. So busy with deliveries that the quality is bound to suffer. Great polite and well trained staff do their very best always and so hopefully my experience has been a blip over the last couple of visits. Really hope they do because we love the place.

We have visited this chippy a few times but this time the woman who served us was very rude, she made the wrong order as she did not clarify with us, I don’t like vinegar and they have put vinegar on my chips, usually we get the curry sauce in a pot but this time we got it all over. As she was giving us our food and still talking to us, she answered the phone and just ignored us, she was very ignorant and had an awful moody face on her. We have checked the menu and they have over charged us by a whole meal

Firstly this is a very good chippy , but by god do you pay for it , the menu has been streamlined so that all the meals are fixed price . The Chinese meals start at £7.50 !! No kebab's , apparently they are too much hassle to make ! Large fish and chips £7.50 and this has only happened since lock down , if you can put up with extortionate prices then fine , but there are soo many good and better value chippys around, also another bad point phone orders have priority over walk in customers

Terrible if you don’t like Mushrooms, Avoid. I have eaten here a few times giving this establishment a chance but yet it fails everytime. No where on the menu does the Curry Sauce state mushrooms but they expect every likes Mushrooms. Order Gravy next visit try that Mushrooms again. Not every person likes Mushrooms. There should be a normal Gravy Mushroom Free and Curry sauce Mushroom free but yet these are not offered only the overly used Mushroom in everything. Need to get your acts together before somebody who is allergic eats a mushroom that is not stated and has an allergic reaction. Very poor.

Being on a tight budget this week, i observed the poster outside offering Fish Chips with peas or gravy for £5 I ordered the fish and chips with peas, asked me if it was regular sized? I replied yes as the advertisement poster had no sizes displayed and i was sure it wasn't for a large (which i could probably not afford today) £8.50 please??? I was shocked to have been scammed in such a way by a locally owned established takeaway, while on such a tight budget. The food here is very good and it's such a shame that their integrity is not comparable. I made my objections loudly and i'm sure that they had the opportunity to refund me, but chose not to. There are other great Fish and Chip shops in Ormskirk

Brought my mother and daughter for Sunday dinner and we will not return. We were cold in a draft and asked to have the radiator turned on, this didn’t happen and eventually we had to ask to move tables after sitting with our coats on. Sunday lamb shank was fatty and came with roast potatoes covered in gravy so we’re not crispy. Key lime pie was disgusting couldn't eat it, synthetic and horrid texture. They did take this off the bill. The wall paper is coming off the walls by the radiators, toilets stink and disabled isn’t fit for purpose. Too low toilet with no grab rail to get up with. Chairs at the dining tables are so uncomfortable and cheap, dirty painted walls. Whatever happened to this place it used to be top notch, such a shame.
