Tony's in Isle of Wight

Tasty food, great value and friendly staff. We visited on a Thursday lunchtime and all three generations of our family group really enjoyed the food.

Takeaway food for us; however plenty of room if you wanted to eat in. Everything was cooked fresh and to order. Small wait, but well worth it.

amazing food and amazing service, best fish and chips ive had in a while would recommend the chips especially!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely terrific 5*... went with a friend tonight and sat down for a meal on Tuesday 23rd. The fish, cod, was piping hot, beautifully cooked, white flesh, crispy batter with NO soggy stuff. The chips were fabulous, crispy well cooked NO grease. Super impressed and I'll definitely go again. I've lived in Ryde for 21 years and don't know why I've never been there before. Well impressed

Absolutely terrific fish and exceptionally crispy chips. Garlic mayo and curry sauce were top tier. Good amount of seats out front so you don’t have to wait to get home to eat!

Had cod, chips, and peas sitting in with a brew. They were just perfect, we enjoyed the lot, thank you.

One of the best fish & chips I’ve ever had! Very nice and kind staff! Food was very good for a good price! Only bad thing is that they only take cash! But over all, I would totally recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Extensive menu and reasonably priced. Food was great as was the service. Probably the best curry sauce I’ve had from a chippy. Would recommend.

First the bad news. It's cash only. Myself and a lady behind me had to go back out into the high street to track down a cash machine and then return again. Unacceptable this day and age. I can sympathise with those who love cash only but surely business's nowadays should offer both payment options. I guess you will have some customers who will go back out again and not return. If you're happy with losing custom then that's your prerogative. However, saying all that I am glad I returned because the food was first class. Cooked fresh. Lovely bit of haddock with some excellent chips and mushy peas. Reasonably priced too. I will return again when I am on the island and will try and remember to bring cash if you are still set in you're ways!

Proper fish and chips served by such lovely people! Try for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!!!! So busy which speaks for itself.

Landed in IOW and this was our first stop as everyone hungry for some good fish and chips. Tony’s did not disappoint. Fish and chips both served to perfection. Friendly staff. Nice place to eat in or out.

Same price for eating in aswell as take out

Just treated myself to a 1/2 burger with chips... Absolutely lovely especially that burger 😋.. Literally stuffed.. staff spot on..

Beautiful chips burgers to die for 5* fish and chips

Went there for lunch while I was on the isle for work and it was some of the best cod and chips I've had since my local shop closed. Fish was perfect, super crispy batter, perfectly flaky cooked cod. Chips were great with the perfect amount of salt and vinegar. And the people working there were super friendly and generally just awesome people, props to the guy who played enter sandman while i was waiting. If I have to go Ryde again for work im 100% gonna back for more to eat on the beach.

Always a favourite and have or had stores in Ryde and Newport . Family run and knew owner. Good selection of other English Fare

Great fish and chips. Visited last Saturday evening. Sat in the eating area. Staff so friendly. What we liked were different options for size of fish and particularly the chips. Great mug of tea to accompany the meal. 5 star from us. Lots of in out takeaways being sold which to me is always a good sign of quality with so much competition around

Had lovely cod and chips which was delicious. They do a nice variety of portion sizes. Staff were very friendly and the place was lovely and clean. Toilets were immaculate too. Quite a few people eating in at the tables and we noticed lots of takeaway in out orders. Highly recommend

Excellent fish and chips as always! My regular place to enjoy this dish and in my opinion the best on the island.,🎉

Came with a group of 15 - we called ahead and the staff had saved us some tables. Food was amazing and delicious. Everyone was stuffed and the staff were super friendly. Thanks!

Lovely clean establishment, friendly staff and nice freshly cooked food. Will visit again for sure.

We visited today and we're very impressed. The food was delicious, especially the homemade tartare sauce. And the portion sizes were generous. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and there was a very nice atmosphere. It was the best fish and chips we've had from a fish and chips shop. When we return to IOW for future holidays we will definitely be returning!

It was very disappointing that whilst in the queue waiting for an order to be cooked and served other people were walking through the door and just being given their food while everyone else was having to wait in the queue. I was waiting for almost an hour for a 3 person order. If the owners bother to read this then you should treat your customers the same everyone should take their turn.

Lovely staff and best fish and chips we had had in years. Will definitely be going back.

Extensive menu. Had Cod and chips, large portion, very tasty, cooked fresh with short wait and reasonably priced. 10 minutes from Travelodge and worth the walk.

This is a cash only establishment. We had to wait at least 30 minutes for our meal but it was a Friday and they were busy with takeaways. However it was the best fish and chips we have had for a long time, we will certainly be going back again. The only thing was missing was the lemon, but I mentioned it was rectified straight away!

Food was hot any very good thank you

Food is reasonably cooked but large portion of chips and regular portion exactly the same size but the price.Very stingy with portions

After getting very disappointed with fish and chip shops two years ago, my wife and I visited every single shop in ryde , we settled on Tony's because quite simply in our opinion they are the best, always great service, large portions, great fresh fish and chips , and quite frankly we love ❤️ them , we support them every Friday and will continue to for ever , it's not a meal it's an experience. Well done team 👏 keep up the good work

It can't be that complicated to serve up a decent portion of chips. They're more likely to be cooked fresh when they're busy at weekends, but it's a good sign of a chippys standards what they're happy to sell people on a Monday when its quiet. God knows how long these chios had been sitting there. As soon as I opened the paper up I could tell they were inedible. And the tasting confirmed that. Just rotten. A real shame because I like supporting cash only businesses. We need to keep cash alive. But I won't be going back in there.

One of the best fish and chips we’ve had on the island. Served piping hot, big portion of delicious flaky haddock, ended up splitting one with my husband. Everyone in our party loved their choice.The restaurant is clean, service efficient, super nice staff. Would definitely return.

Great food, good price friendly staff would recommend a visit

Tasty fish and chips, not too badly priced

One of the Best Fish and Chip shops I have been to.

Best fish and chip shop I've been in good prices to friendly staff to

Great value for money and very tasty. Food cooked to order so be prepared for a wait but well worth it.

Been the last two weeks the fish was beautiful could eat every bit , great chips. Staff are very welcoming sat eat to eat .

Cod’s roe and chips was cooked fresh to order and it was delicious and still baking hot when I got home great service thank you will definitely recommend and be back soon

Called in for lunch as very dog friendly. Excellent fish and chips at reasonable prices. Very friendly and efficient staff. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommended.

Went with my family Including my 3 children. Food was amazing and very well sized, the staff were polite and very friendly. 100% would recommend and will definitely be taking my family again!!

Great tasty food ,cooked to order

Have been meaning to try this place for ages as it was frequently recommended. However got a takeaway yesterday lunch time & found it to equal to my worst fish & chips ever. The chips were possibly the end of a frying. The Cod was awful. Should the batter be so chewy as was the cod. Probably an unfair review, as there's always end of fryings, but really these should have been binned rather than sold.

GOOD CHIPS, WOULD RECOMMEND!! It was quite busy but thats to be expected on a friday night, so i wouldnt eat in here on a friday, but they cooked the chips fast and they were very nice so 5 stars as a takeaway!!

Best fish and chips on the Island 🏝 😋

Great food and service, shame that it allows DOGS (not service dogs) into the restaurant to eat with the humans. Never mind perhaps they will see the evil of their ways.

Hands down one of the best fish and chips I've ever had. Beautiful piece of fish with loads of chips. Highly recommend

Genuinely one of the best meals I had on the isle of wight, simple, well cooked food. The home made tartare sauce is worth a go

Delicious food, very happy staff. Cash only.

delicious cod and chips. Different portion sizes available eg half portion or senior portion (in between full and half size). We were a group of 6 ladies and 3 had half size and found it plenty. Tartar sauce sachets available included in the price or order the homemade tartar sauce for a little extra which is very tasty! Friendly efficient service. Several tables inside and some outside too. Perfect.

Best fish and chips by far lovely people and friendly service and atmosphere.

Our first time using Tony's Fish & Chip shop. Staff we helpful & knowledgeable & told us there would be a wait because they were very busy. The wait was well worth it because all the food was cooked to order& arrived piping hot & at the time it was promised. Very well cooked adequate portions that tasted amazing. Highly recommended & we will be definitely be visiting Tony's Fish & Chip shop on our next visit to the Island

Lovely fish chips and mushy peas Well cooked and served with a smile definitely worth a visit will be back

You really MUST get a card machine. This IS the twenty-first century!!

The food is very nice and service is amazing 😍

Bloody delicious as usual our annual holiday visit 😋

Really good service quick and efficient, was busy but didn't wait long . Food tasted great. Really pleased with Tony's

Dined in as a group of 11. Excellent service, friendly, clean and modern and the food was lovely!! Homemade tartar sauce is a must and an excellent curry sauce! Thank you!

Had battered sausage with chips, the sausage was lovely but the chips were slightly over cooked. Parking in the area is also difficult with all the spaces for disabled parking only.

Really Nice Fish and chips, they have some kids meals too. The two staff working was really pleasant and happy to help, the Chippy is Cash Only so you'll need to pop to the cash point before going. You can dine inside too but we took out food away. I got 3 cod and chips, 1 quater chicken and chips, 3 kids fish cake with chips and 1 kids cod bites with chips and a large curry sauce. The chips and food was cooked really nice and was made fresh to order so about a 5-10min wait but it was worth it.

Food very good, shame website not updated, as according to this regular cod and chips===£6:60, half cod and chips=£4:60==Total £11:20! Picked up our order=£15:40!! No explanation or apology! Not the ideal way to impress or retain new customers, which we were, so we won’t be going there again.

Superb fish and chips in a friendly,clean,tidy setting. Nice to be able to get haddock or cod. Highly recommended if you are visiting Ryde also car park just along the road.

Looked at a few fish and chips places to eat but this one looked good. Little delay with food we ordered arriving but it was worth the wait. Very tasty and lovely and hot. Only down side was it was cash only 🙁

This place is the best!!! After a long weekend at the festival we were in desperate need for some TLC. We were greeted with lovely staff, they gave us quick service and the food was amazing! everything is cooked fresh to order and it was so yummy. “curry sauce was the best i’ve ever had” - glowing review from a patron

This is not about the food I have tried it in a few occasions and it's good, but I went to get a fish one day and I was talking to a lad that was tired well knackered actually I said to him he looked tired and he told me he worked so many hours because staff kept letting him down repeatedly, I said I was just through an operation but that I had my own café at one time and could help out in a couple of months he said brilliant he would give me at least 20 hrs , so I went back in 4 weeks time as I saw an advert for staff again,he was not there but the girl took my number on a card, I met the owner coming in ( not the lad I had spoken too, he said did you leave your number we always need people, so my gripe is they again were looking for staff but never contacted me so now I am thinking was it me do you have to be skinny and an English person (I am Irish) but I am passionate about being clean tidy and produce great food, never late would never let any employer down, I have never ever been late for work, I have my food hygiene certificate my health and safety certificate and my enhanced DBS certificate, so obviously I didn't look right or sound right, but I can assure you it's your loss Tony I did food in my cafe that people kept coming back for

No card payments Delicious fish lots of flavour

This little fish and chips restaurant is off the top end of Ryde High Street just inside St Johns road. The premises are very clean, the staff very cheerful and very pleasnt. It is eat in or takeaway. The portions are very generous. Will certainly visit again and recommend it to everyone.

Went to Tonys for fish and chips on a daytrip to Ryde .we opted to sit outside as the weather was beautiful. We thought we would get our meal in boxes and then go and sit at the small tables outside but no we were told to sit at the table and our meal would be brought to us .First we were brought cutlery and sauces and then our cod and chips and plaice and chips were brought to us on plates. The portions were large and tasted great. Fish was large and you could tell it was freshly cooked with lovely crispy batter. The two boys serving could not have been nicer. Next time we come to Ryde we will definitely visit Tonys.

Great food, all freshly cooked. Good size portions. Restaurant is clean and tidy. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.

We have been visiting Tony's fish and chips for years, with my parents, and when we had visitors staying. The staff are really friendly and the food is lovely. The menu is pretty extensive and there is plenty to choose from. My friend brings her children, and absolutely everything gets eaten. Because the food is so good, we have recently been going at least once a week and if it were too greasy, I wouldn't be able to eat it as I have IBS. The fish is freshly cooked to order and we've never waited longer than 10 minutes. They do get busy, but are well organised and efficient. I would highly recommend them....(and anyone who knows me, knows how fussy I am !) Also.....they're open all day!

The best fish and chips - crisp batter, juicy fish and lovely chips. Ginormous serves - certainly value for money.

Visited before and enjoyed it so went back whilst on holiday this week,my dad said best fish he’s had for years.Big portions and very reasonable prices.

Best fish n chips on the island.

Lovely service, gorgeous steamed fish with garden peas! 👌 Would highly recommend, lovely staff, atmosphere amazing!

Tony's fish and chips are great we would recommend them to anyone The staff are very friendly and always willing to help We go to Tony's every week and sometimes twice in a week We always enjoy our meals and we sit in at times It's always nice to have our order freshly cooked and we don't have to wait long unless you are there on a busy Friday night If you do have a problem speak to staff and they sort out for you

Great place for fish and chips, lovely FRESH chips that are always nice and crispy yet soft inside! They go above and beyond for their customer service especially the young lady called Jessica. Won’t go anywhere else, even if they are close🫶🏼

If possible to give Zero Stars, I would. Chips were at best, frozen or chefs larder chips from Bookers, absolutely no taste and very overdone in the fryer. Traditional Chips have a completely different texture and taste to what Tony's serves up. Don't bother visiting, you'll be disappointed. Customer Service is also very lacking, with poor engagement with customers, who are seen more as an inconvenience than what they are they for, to serve.

Only down side is cash only but foods good and staffs nice.

What a absolutely fantastic place. I rarely review but felt I must after such a lovely experience. We’d explained that we were in a bit of a hurry (after a lovely final day on the island) before catching a ferry. Tony and the other staff...

Staff were friendly and there was a good atmosphere. However, we waited 40 minutes for our food which was terrible. The batter was extremely overdone - brown and rock-hard. The chips had no taste. Tartare sauce was good. Maybe it was just an off day. Edit: In reply to the "owner" below, obviously I am not leaving this review for this evening. The bitterness is only a result of what was served, unfortunately.

4 hairs and a puddle of oil later and I must say I'm disappointed. The fish was full of oil, quite disappointing considering the previous reviews.

Brilliant food and Brilliant service.Staff very friendly and very obliging. Well done Tony's

Polite staff, food cooked with passion and cooked fresh to order which is a plus for a chippy! I'd rather wait for great . I'm relatively new to the island and have very quickly found my personal stop for fish and chips. If you want great food and personality, TONYS RYDE is the place to go

Wow fish and chips top nosh best I've had in a long time served with a smile

Can't give them less than 3 as the staff were genuinely lovely, upbeat and friendly. Unfortunately we had to wait over 45 minutes for the food because we sat inside. Food was bad, fish had very very thick batter which was hard to eat and chips were bland. Might've just been unlucky but avoid sitting inside during the busy periods as it felt like takeaways are prioritised.

I love fish and chips at Tony’s. Imagine my surprise today, then, when my fish snd chips were better than ever! The cod was a very decent size and perfectly battered. The chips were perfect - soft inside and slightly crispy on the outside. So...

We asked a few people in various parts of the island - all recommended Tony’s … so we arrived. There was a queue … always a good sign, as soon as I saw the “Homemade Tartar Sauce” I knew I was in for a treat...

Lovely crispy batter on the fish and soft chips. We came all the way from Shanklin where we were on holiday to this chip shop as it was so nice.

Really lovely chips cooked perfectly! Staff were friendly and despite feint very busy service was quick. Reasonably priced and very tasty

We eat inside, for lunch. Saff nice and friendly like always, but food not the same quality as previous times weve been in. I had sausage and chips and my friend chicken pie and chips. The butter sausage was tasteless and some chips where burned and some tasted under cooked. My friends chicken pie was very difficult to cut.

Best fish and chips on the island

Some of best fish & chips we have ever had. Excellent quality fish, with a proper crispy batter. Very friendly staff and we would certainly recommend.

Excellent food, fantastic choice and great value for money. All the food was piping hot and enjoyed by all at a family reunion. Would highly recommend Tony's, well worth a visit, I had never before had a mushy pea fritter, delish ! It won't be...

Takeaway: great food, great service. Family gathering was highlighted by excellent food, thoroughly enjoyed by all.

I came here when on the island on a quick day trip. My nose was streaming due to an allergy and I asked for a coffee with my fish and chips. Best coffee I've ever had by far: and the cheapest ever! Really good place. Friendly staff. Cash is being kept alive here.

The fish and chips on our last 3 visits have been excellent. They have changed the batter mix which is spot on.

All 6 of our party said it was the best Fish & Chips we've had in a long time. All cooked freshly and decent portion size. The homemade tartar sauce was an added bonus, though one tub between 2 was enough. Girl serving was switched...

Fantastic fish and chips lovely staff nice to have a giggle over the counter really made welcome

All 6 of our party said it was the best Fish & Chips we've had in a long time. All cooked freshly and decent portion size. The homemade tartar sauce was an added bonus, though one tub between 2 was enough. Girl serving was switched on and worked like a trooper. Definitely recommend
