6 of us ate here last night it was not nearly as good as before . Fish was great but chips had been sitting a while they were not hot well they were barely warm , they were not crispy and loads were left . The worst thing was the scrap bucket just behind my seat sadly there was loads in it obviously hadn’t been emptied that day , if it had been there was so much in it it there is def a problem . Staff are lovely but I don’t imagine I will be back .

We went to Waves tonight with our grandchildren for tea and I have to say it was okay but only just. The fish we had was lovely but the chips were disappointing and not very hot. But by far the worst thing was the bucket of leftover food scraped from plates sitting for all to see on a work station type counter beside our table, with a pile of dirty plates and cutlery. It was there throughout our visit and showed no sign of being removed. Surely this should be out of sight of customers and not left on show for everyone to see! Poor show, not what I expect from Waves!!

One of the best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time. My parents thoroughly enjoyed theirs too. We know our seafood. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the service was in good time. There was a short wait but the food came out piping hot. It was around 4:30 on a Wednesday so early in the evening.

A local Chippie situated right in the heart of Randalstown village. Good varied menu and structured prices for children, adults and pensioners. Sit in or takeaway, parking available outside the premises. Disappointingly the food is sometimes served "lukewarm" which is most unappetizing and may discourage return visits!

Great fish and chips. Chippy is a little cold. Cold plates. I don't like placing my order before you go to your table, no time to go through the menu. Curry sauce is bland not creamy enough for me. Some good specials on the menu.

The food at waves used to be the best around especially the chips and fish unfortunately it has been going downhill over the years. I got a small chip which was nothing more than pale soggy wedges of grease, there couldn't have been more than two potatoes in this for an eye watering £3.80. Great staff poor food and extortionate prices.

Anytime I have been to waves the food has been fantastic. This time was just after coming out of Antrim hospital for 8 hrs on IV. I was looking forward to their fish and chips. I was disappointed at their fish. It was small I don't mind paying for nice fish but was not nice. I'm just being truthful to you the staff of Waves. I will be back 7/10 👍👍

have dined here every time in the area as used to be great. on friday night it was terrible service. our order was taken and 31 minutes later we received it. this was after the tables either side of us had received theirs and had ordered after us. one table even commented on it to us. the waitress on duty when we arrived is always polite and friendly and helpful. she was only waitress there. she was finishing her shift and it took two young waitresses to do what she had been doing and weren't doing it well. they wiped anything on the table onto the floor and left it. were more interested in chatting and laughing with each other. when asked where our order was after the second table were served with their food we got a grunt saying it's coming. wouldn't have minded but we all were having fish and chips. food isn't as good as it was so time to dine elsewhere

Having been purchasing food here for over ten years, I can unequivocally assert that Waves consistently provides the best, tastiest fish and chips within the greater Antrim area, always providing good quality produce and generous portions. I don’t know anyone who has sampled their fare that doesn’t agree.

Take away in the last year is impressive. I seriously put that down to A CERTAIN COOK AND THEIR EXPERIENCE FROM A NOTHER CHIPPY. QUALITY. .ITS NOT CHEAP BUT ITS MORE VALUE FOR MONEY THAN MOST BY A 100 MILE. ENJOY & SPEND.

I have eaten in waves for ten yrs now and used to boast we had the best chips on the island and this was bore out by friends pretending to visit me just to go to waves. Sadly that is no longer the case. It is not a bad chippy but no longer a quality chippy, it has nothing left that make it stands out from any other standard chippy and has been this way for too long now, Im guessing the change in potaotes, burgers etc is for greater profit as all I can really say now is the prices keep going up and the quality keeps going down, the demise of what was once a great chippy.

Order from here about half an hour ago spent £67 on food First of £14 for a fish supper that was sooo over batter there was a small bit of fish beneath the fish was so greasy when I touched it with my finger the grease seeped out and left the chips below un edible so disappointed because I haven't ate here in 5 years and I was hoping for that top tier chippy that it used to be the amount of grease instantly turned my stomach needless to say it was binned. Mozzarella sticks were so under cooked they were soggy never had a soggy Mozzarella stick in my life. Goujons were thick with batter and greasy pasty was the same. Nothing was crispy I'm assuming the oil isn't hot enough or there throwing too much stuff in the pan really disappointing over all considering the extortionate prices they are charging for un eable food definitely won't be back unless the food is cooked right.
