The Boardwalk in East Lindsey

Order a Mexican Loaded hot dog £7.50, absolutely dire. Can't remember the last time I'd wasted so much on terrible food. It was basically a tray of sloppy crap over a white sub roll and a hot dog sausage. Made all the bread soggy, couldn't pick it up to eat and struggled to eat it with the available wooden fork, ended up just eating the sausage Totally waste of money and unfulfilled

Easiest review ever....AVOID AVOD AVOID Poor service and food was even worse. Overpriced rubbish, simple as that. Go to Fox's for your fish and chips.

The fish was fine, though small, but the chips were the most disgusting we have ever tasted anywhere. They had clearly been reheated so were dry and hard and extremely unpleasant in flavour - no hint of having been cooked in beef dripping at all. We specifically went back to this shop/diner because those we enquired within on the seafront don't fry in beef dripping, whereas the Boardwalk advertises that it fries in beef dripping (which makes all the difference in my mind and makes seaside fish and chips something we really look forward to). They don't do large portions so we bought one fish and two portions of chips between two of us. The charge was £12.99. Bearing in mind we had to throw both portions of chips away, this was the most expensive fish I have ever had. I originally thought of complaining to the manager so that they could at least give us fresh cooked chips when we next travel to Skegness, but their phone number doesn't work and they don't offer an email address so clearly don't encourage customer feedback. In hindsight, I'm happy just to leave a bad review because they clearly don't take any pride in their food if they are prepared to serve up such poor quality food.

Food was okay but the cashier needs to work on her service skills - too busy getting annoyed with her colleagues and telling them what to do and presenting a bad attitude with customers.

Hi, We were looking for somewhere with Hot Dogs, and chose this as they also did other bits of food for the kids. We joined a queue 6 people long so not too busy compared to other places we looked at, and eventually ordered 2 Hot Dogs and Loaded Chips. We then waited 25 minutes for the food to be ready. I really cannot understand why it took 25 minutes, maybe they were peeling potatoe's to order? At least 1 group in the queue before us ordered just drinks so they can't be included in the wait. Eventually the food came, and we sat on the bench to the side to eat it. The Hot Dogs were okay, 3 out of 5, nothing special, but not too cheap and nasty either. The kids said the loaded chips were nice, and the toppings okay. So in effect you could probably get the same food quicker elsewhere (maybe walk to Boston and back). We also noticed 2 Teenagers, 'cleaning' they are almost certainly still at school, I would guess the ages maybe 13 at most (we have a 14 year old and they didn't look older than her) The cleaning consisted of 1 of them walking round, not picking the rubbish up off the floor with his picker, the other cleared the tables (by putting the rubbish in the public bins) and giving them a wipe. So not overly impressed with the cleaning regime. We are a family of 2 Adults, 2 teenagers.

We chose this place as they had benches outside. I fancied loaded fries so opted for the melted cheese and jalapeños option. The service was very quick, too quick - my chips were anaemic and flavourless. The ‘melted cheese’ was sickly cheese sauce with a few jalapeños thrown on top. It’s like they had melted down those fake cheese slices you get for burgers. The lady serving the food had the personality of a brick. How some people get employed is a mystery.

Delicious fish and chips, possibly best fish ever! huge portion Excellent customer service from the lady who had to clean up outside after my son was ill, and was so kind about it. Thank you so much

My partner and I approached and sat at the order window whilst 2 staff members right in front of us never said a word to us. Some kind customer pointed out that we needed to move to previous window to order. Approached the order window (with my partner in her wheelchair) and what can only be described as a VERY rude woman/young girl served us. We ordered and she kept asking us ‘is that it?’ When I asked her if she had Pepsi max she said NO in a straight voice. When I asked what she did have she said ‘anything u can see in the fridge’ - the fridge was behind her, the sun was shining in onto it so I couldn’t see what was in it. When I said I couldn’t see what was in the fridge she sighed and tutted and moved to one side, didn’t speak to me. I was about ready to walk away completely but after a long journey we were hungry so I proceeded. Her customer service skills are nowhere to be found and we were disgusted to say the least. She needs to learn that people like us are her bread and butter especially as the season is coming towards its end. She needs to learn to treat customers with respect and to be pleasant to them. I have never been so angry and shocked in all my life at the rudeness given to me by her today. Who the hell does she think she is? I will never go here again and I really hope they get closed down. Very poor quality food and also very overpriced. Avoid at all costs.

Positively surprised by the quality of food, fish 5 out of 5, chips score 4 out of 5, other food looked ok, friends and kids liked it. Tea size too small, it probably doesn't cost so much more to give a proper sized cup and you can gain a happier customer! I expected much less judging by the location and the "easy to get" customer type, but it was decent. We ate outside - it should be cleaned more often. A bit more tlc and it could be brilliant.

I'm not one to complain, if it is edible I will eat it and not go back again. But at the standard of this 'cafe, chip shop, whatever else it states it is I had no other choice to send the food back, and ask for my money back. When arriving the young girl was friendly,the order was taken, I waited for the food, as I was waiting I looked threw the window where the man was cooking and sorting the order out, I was gobsmacked at the '7.50' special aka fish, chips, peas bread bun and for a extra 50p a can of pop? I thought surely that isnt mine? He asked what I wanted it in..which he showed me what I could describe as a polystyrene tray.. I pointed to the fish and chip boxs and he said he doesnt have any of those left then picked up the one I pointed at and he started putting what I can say was a handful of chips, a hard golden crispy looking piece of 'fish's peas and a bun. We also had a 'large chips' which was classed as a small portion in a tray and 3 plain sausages. The kids took a chip and said it was discusting I had a bite out the brown burnt sausages and spat it out as there was a piece of gristle within the meat. We asked him if we could have a fresh piece of fish he looked at us gone out. He said it would be 6 minutes. So we waited, where in that time he put the chips and peas in the cabinet to keep 'warm'. He gave us a 'fresh piece of fish. I looked at it picked it up and the oil was dripping from it. It was horrible. We took it back and asked for are money back she asked us why and we said it was 'unedible'. Money was given back. I wouldnt use this chip shop again, or advise anybody does until they at least up the strandards of the food they present!

Avoid, avoid avoid!!! Food was poor and staff were really rude and nasty. We bought several food items and drinks. They happily took the money but when we sat down to eat they accused us of buying from elsewhere and to leave their benches because they pay rent on them. We purchased food from them!!! They didn’t care. First an oldish man came over then his old hag started harassing us to leave continuously and pointing fingers at the kids. Not recommended unless you want to lose your rag and have them spoil your meal and trip. Plenty of other much better places to eat literally yards away. Customer service is such an important part of hospitality services. I will NEVER go to that place again. Their city council should look into this urgently and have them closed down!

We asked for two Currywurst sausages and when they came they were awful! We were given plain, cheap and boring sausages, cut up, with cheap yukky curry sauce poured on top and some curry power sprinkled on top to add to it. Seriously not worth £4.50 each! Do not waste your money here!!

Came here with family as we wanted to have something to eat. We ordered chips and jacket potato. The potato we got had outdated mouldy cheese and the chips were not done. we ordered beans with the jacket potato and we was charged as they did not put in on the receipt. The staff were rude and racist. They did not take orderes properly. after we left they started to laugh at us and I could one the girld call us dirty. Never coming here again such a dirty racist rude place. They should have the place inspected and shut down from the food they sell and they need to get staff who are not rude or racist.Harry Ramsbottom is better.

Asked if the fish and chips were suitable for vegetarians. Woman inside stated yes, ask again outside and advised that the chips were only by a very rude young girl. Bought the chips and left. Needed a receipt for expenses and went back. Whilst i was waiting another girl took sausages out of another fryer and put them on the chips. So i stated, that i was advised the chips were vegetarian. This girl then started to shout at me and then said "you people are all the same" (i am asian). Well, i am the not the one to stay quiet and gave her some quintessential feedback. She wished she never met me. When i asked to speak to the manager, she said she was the manager - yeah right. Pathetic, incompetent and racist.Got a full refund.

A very disappointing meal as chips were very dark brown and shrivelled. It was clear that the oil was old. Was concerned when we arrived as staff were getting a grilling about the dirty glass on front and floor. Should have taken this as a warning. Showed him my chips and he said its because they are new potatoes.ive eaten fish and chips dozens of times in skeg but never like this.see for yourself in my pic!!!!

We had just landed in Skegness and having never been before didn’t have a clue of where to get a bite to eat. There’s a fair few little eateries as soon as you’ve parked but my son who’s on the spectrum only wanted a bacon butty (I refuse to use The term bacon sandwich). We looked around and he was getting close to a meltdown and he saw this little place with some lovely outdoor seating that was relatively quiet. The lady who took our order (family of 6) was absolutely lovely. We ordered 3 bacon butties, a cheese sandwich, a ham sandwich and a plate of chips. The ham was real ham, not that reformed rubbish and the chips were proper chips!! Service was with a smile and we were made to feel so welcome. We are heading back to Skegness next year and we’ve already decided that we are making this place our first port of call.

PositivesGreat locationLady behind the counter was helpful and friendly.Negatives Dirty tables all needed wipingCutlery and plates didn’t look clean, when food was being served.Chips were lukewarmNothing seemed hot (sausage, fish, mushy peas etc ..)Plus no cod only served haddockAlso my family member pointed out that the price was £6.50 for the meal deal earlier in the day and now you see it had been changed to £7.50.At least rub it out properly, it looked like you were advertising a price increase.Not a great standard, considering the competition around.Only wish I had looked on trip advisor first... that would have saved us wasting money as most people left there food and went elsewhere.Try places around the clock - better prices, hot, fresh & tasty.Harry Ramsbottoms was a favourite!

Stopped here after a 10 mile cycle ride for fish n chips. Fish n chips drink bread n butter £8. It was very good. Fish was a good size and nice crispy batter. Has seating inside and out.

Don’t think I’ll be going back, we only ordered a bratwurst and a jacket potato and it was nice but the place was dirty, sticky tables etc.

I visited here with my Mum and Daughter yesterday. I ordered 2 Lincolnshire Hotdogs with onions and Fish, Chips and Peas. I was told upon ordering that there were no onions as they had run out earlier and they were short staffed so no one had been able to go out to get any. The Fish, Chips and Peas was supposed to be served with Bread and Butter and Tea/Coffee. When the Fish, Chips and Peas were served, it was minus the bread and butter and choice of drink. There was also no cutlery provided to eat it with. My daughter went back into the restaurant as we were sat outside and couldn’t locate any cutlery. Upon asking a member of staff for a knife and fork, my daughter was presented with only a fork! I attempted to eat the Fish, Chips and Peas, to which I quickly discovered that the Fish was inedible. It looked grey and did not taste very nice. The Fish was lay across the top of the chips and peas, so I was put off eating the meal. I promptly went into the restaurant to ask for a refund and was advised by a girl that there was nothing wrong with the Fish as they were selling hundreds out the front of the cafe!?!?! She said I could only have a refund on the Fish as there was nothing wrong with the chips and peas. I explained I’d bought the meal as a whole and the Fish was lay across the chips and peas. I asked to speak to the Manager and she went to the other side of the shop, came back and said I still could only have a refund on the Fish. I also raised my dissatisfaction at the lack of cutlery and only being served part of the meal. I advised I would complain to Trading Standards and her response was “Well if you are going to be like that, I won’t refund the Fish!” I asked for the refund which she gave me £3.90 for the Fish. Totally shocking customer experience!

This is actually quite a cute little cafe, shame they sell such awful food. Presentation certainly wasn’t their forte. The cheese sandwich was so dry and the bread tasted stale. Cheesy chips were ok and jacket potato with tuna was just whacked on a plate with nothing else. I didn’t like the look of the dirty tray that the food came out on. On this basis I’ve given this a rating of 2 stars. It was poor all round. Don’t waste your money, go somewhere else.

I've never had fish and chips as awful as this in my life !!!! To say "swimming in grease" is an understatement. I would wager that they don't get repeat business. I certainly will never spend another penny there when i next visit Skeggy.Only giving one star as trip advisor doesn't allow minus ratings !!

Popped in as toddler was hungry and thought the food would be quick. Dirty highchair and dirty tables. Fish was undercooked and burgers for the teenagers was disappointing.

Lovely place to have fish and chips freshly cooked , friendly and helpful and food was served quickly as well reasonably priced only thing wrong is there is no toilet so had to use public toilet across road .

Aparecimos por el Día de la madre, y francamente decepcionado! Servicio de atención al cliente, debe ser medio desenfadado escaso como suelos que necesitan extensas mesas n cojan pero no vimos que hecho. La comida estaba bien, pero lo peor de todo que alguien con nosotros con EII no los baños! Cuando preguntamos nos dijeron no n incluso inodoros para personal! ! ! Muchos otros cafés alrededor, no volveré n ni nadie de nuestro grupo. Sinceramente si ofrecen asientos por encima de 10 asientos debe tener un retrete aparentemente no bien investigará más! ! ! !

Me pareció que el 'Papel' fascinante porque consiste en el envío de papel de navegación de diversas partes del mundo.

enjoyed my meal here,it was nice to sit outside,but good indoor area as well.I just wanted fish cake and chips,but there was a good offer on fish and chips,hope to try it some time.I opted for a cup of tea,but they have a bar too.It was reasonably priced,will visit again.

El restaurante está bien situado al lado del acuario y tiene un buen comercio. Pedimos nuestra comida y nos sentamos afuera y estaba listo en menos de 2 minutos. El bacalao y las patatas fritas eran estupendas. El restaurante también está autorizado a vender cerveza y otras bebidas alcohólicas.

Pescado Sabroso y patatas fritas y bien cocinadas chaqueta patata que era preciosa y suave todo el camino a través. Pero algunos de los empleados que no tienen ni idea sobre atención al cliente.

We came here a week ago with our daughters and husbands parents, food was lovely, freshly made but still didn't take long to come out. All plates were cleared and enjoyed by all. Thank you

Visitamos el amplio bar walk cafe 5Ago 2016. Fuimos para el pescado y patatas fritas. especial

Pasamos un día en familia ayer y eligió para reunirse fuera del acuario. Así que este parecía ideal. El personal era grosero. Té taza con bolsa de té y agua caliente - Descubrir el paradero de la leche y azúcar y por favor si no...

Chose to eat here this evening, won't go again. Ordered jacket potatoes to be told they had sold out of them so chose something else even though it was jackets we really wanted. Our food was delivered to our table and as we started eating another family came in and ordered jacket potatoes and guess what they got..... Jacket potatoes! Not impressed!

Called in for a jacket potatoe and beans. I was served congealed grey tinted beans on a very unappealing potatoe. I work hard for my money and really dislike establishments taking my money and serving such rubbish. I left the meal and told a member of staff who said they would get the manager - no one came to see me so I left. I wish I had asked them if they would have eaten it. Don't go in under any circumstances, they may be cheap but that's it.

Can't even get the basics right jacket potato with beans, fish and chips special. Beans looked congealed could not risk eating them as couldn't determine how fresh they were, given it was lunchtime they must have been from the previous day. The battered fish must have stood a while as the batter had lost it crispness. Overall a very disappointing experience. I am seriously fed up of parting with hard earned cars for food that is inedible. Food outlets need to look at what they prepare and present and ask themselves would I be happy to eat or pay for what I am offering this customer. Fair to say we will not be eating here again and I would recommend others try elsewhere based on this experience. I did make staff aware of the concern, response I'll tell the manager, given no further action I take it they didn't care or know how to deal with dissatisfaction.

Chips was not done in the middle and the cod was more like a flat fish . Both me and son both had the same .will not try again will walk the extra few yards to the one on the corner near the clock tower.plus two fish and chips was £12.95 with bottle of coke bit on the heavy side

We Always Eat Here When We Visit Skegness. Food Is Good And Good Value. Staff Are Friendly. Only Bad Point Is I Think It Needs Abit More Detailed Cleaning ie.Removal Of Dead Flies In The Windows And Sticky Tables.

Wonderful fish and chips, amazing staff, great value. Served quick. Extremely helpful and nothing is too much.

Popped in The Boardwalk mainly because there was quiet a few people sat outside which is always a good sign however we were left disappointed with the quality of food served.I ordered haddock with curry sauce,husband opted for haddock with mushy peas.The fish was a decent portion but more like the tail end.Curry sauce was unfortunately very watery and the fish was literally swimming in it.Mushy peas were actually a solid lump you could pick up on a spoon.No napkins given-just cutlery dropped onto table.There are no toilets at this establishment and given the fact they have upstairs seating I would have thought there would be space for a loo.Sorry Boardwalk but we won't be visiting again.

Lovely chippy. Great selection of food and drinks. They serve beer and cheesy chips! What more could you need on a rainy day in Skeggy.!

Would not recommend this place to anyone. Food, Service and environment unacceptable. The place really needs a good sake up because the location would be ideal for a good quality cafe.

Had a day out with my family, we've tried almost every fish amd chip shop near the clock tower but this one puts them all to shame! The food was beautiful only problem would be the drinks were quite flat.. And no customer toilets which was a shame but still really enjoyed this will be going back!

Whilst out and about during the so festival weekend, we had a hankering for a quick chippy style meal. The prices were as we would expect from a seaside outlet the quality was reasonable. Portion sizes were good, everyone was satisfied after eating. Downside were told there were no customer toilets . Had to use public toilets a little further on. Not great, as I do like to wash my hands before a meal. Certainly no top class restaurant. But we all enjoyed sitting on a nearby bench, refuelling.

Vile service by a vile old yorkshire 'lady' dont make give this awful place a penny! The worst place in Skegness by a country mile

After nearly going to the weirdly 'very good' rated Tonys over the road - after catching the site of someone's very pale-looking chips that were definitely under-cooked - we decided this was a place to avoid. We decided we'd scout around and found the boardwalk which had a lovely smell of chips coming from outside and we got them from the boardwalk chip stand and the chips and cheese I had were delicious. The taste was Devine and for £4 including a coke it was lovely. Couldn't fault this place at all, so very surprised to see some bad reviews on it. I recommend 100%! Reasonable price and decent-tasting chips!!:)

"You get what you pay for" is a term which I have always believed in, however when I sat down to eat at the boardwalk I was disgusted. My gran paid for our meal, we had 3 fish, chips and peas and a chips and peas with 2 coffees and 2 cokes. It came to just over £25. Not expensive but more expensive than other chippys which probably would have been better. We found a table in the sun near the pedalos which looked like a nice spot. A couple of tables had not been cleared up but our table seemed ok. I sat down and noticed bits of food all over it which wasn't pleasant. I took a sip of my coke and nearly spat it out! It was flat! My friends was the same. We took it back and she poured us another which was to no improvement. The pump clearly needed changing. When our food arrived, it didn't look too bad but the peas were poured all over the chips which made them even soggier than they already were. Normally, peas come on the side. The fish still had its skin on and was full of bones! The whole mess was just a heap of grease which you could taste with every mouthful. None of us could eat it. I dread to think what the kitchen looks like. We waited for ages for someone to collect our plates until I spotted a worker and called her over. I was polite and said we were unhappy with our food. The worker was very rude and said there was nothing she could do about it! I have never complained in my life at a restaurant but I wasn't settling for that. As dissatisfied customers and a long time disputing the situation, we were offered an ice cream or a drink, the manager never came out and apologised. My gran had an ice cream which she threw in the bin, the worker claimed it was walls, my gran knew different. Don't waste your money at this place, go elsewhere.

The worst fish & chips, and the worst customer service that I have experienced in a long time. Won't be coming here again! We ordered 2 fish&chips with 3 cans of drinks. The price was around 15 pounds, which I didn't mind paying, however once it was served to me I couldn't believe how unfresh and revolting the chips & the fish looked. The chips were hard & looked days old, & the size of the large fish looked smaller than a kids portion! I went back to the girl who served me, I told her that I want a refund because there's no way I was going to eat that. I told her that it doesn't look right & that I have fish and chips from other shops around here, and this looks nothing like what ive been served in other places. The very rude staff then called me a liar, I was shocked, disgusting customer service, and disgusting quality of fish & chips.

Great Service by friendly staff and excellent value for money. Family friendly with indoor and outdoor seating area, very clean and excellent food and drinks, and a great choice on the menu.
