Waves in Antrim

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.

Best Cod Supper in the Province.I have sampled most of them!

It's pretty basic, but only place to eat in the town. Chicken burger was pretty good

It's ok if ya can't be bothered making dinner

Clean and good service which means a lot

Waves food is top notch , a busy place great to be able to sit in , just wish you could use card machine

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.

Great variety of food and great service. Mixed clientele young and old. Clearly a meeting place Saturday night.

Staff friendly and food first class.

Gave me and my boyfriend food poisoning from the chicken. Would not recommend to anyone unless u wanna spend the night next to the bathroom

Always good chippy food, good quality but recently portion size for example of a so-called Large chip is now more like a small chip which is not acceptable when the price has increased etc

Waves is good place to eat in and the food is 100persen

Very poor, gave us wrong order. Had to return for our order. Over charged for what we bought and the food was cold. Will not be back

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.

yeo waves 4 lifeeeeee this is one of the best places In Randalstown

Really good value and tasty fish supper. Recommend this chippy.

Nice place and service, but mixed kebab was no tastie.

I highly recommend Waves the foods good and the staff is better.

Would never be here ever again after the way the owner treated a young man with a food allergies… he sent his food back 3 times before getting up & leaving

Excellent food and excellent service.

Usually great, but got a fish supper and it came with just three chips, whereas normally it would be stacked.

We are regulars at Waves, really good food, reasonably priced, quick service. Eat in or takeaway. Wheelchair accessible. We just love Waves 😁

Very good. Excellent service. Recommended.

Always good food and friendly service

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 👍👍

When you go to sit in people who haven't ordered take the empty seats

You can sit in or carry out here.we had lovely fish and chips sit in .would recommend crispy batter white fish plenty of chips served with small amount of salad too 😋

Best chippy for miles. Get her Intae yee

Good quantity and cheaper options

Been eating out of waves for years and years. Not once ever had a bad meal from it. Tried the other chippies in the town. Nothing compares. Always fresh and hot.

Dine in regularly and the foods great. We would travel from Antrim for the fish and chips. I really enjoy the steak special. Clean with pleasant staff

Probably one of the nicest fish I've eaten in a while chips weren't good at all and not the right peas Either

Decent portions of chips but over priced for a chip cheese and gravy esp as Chips were not nice. Dry and had a funny taste. The gravy was tasty but not enough off it. It would of helped taste the chips. Young staff not that friendly

Lovely fish and chips. Small portion plenty.

Nice place to sit and enjoy some chips.

Where do I start? The food is delicious! Staff are lovely and there is always a great atmosphere, especially after the beautiful renovation. Everything from the burgers to the fish is brilliant. The staff and my family are very well aquatinted and are always met with a lovely, we always sit in our little spot and gobble down the food! I couldn’t pick a better place to eat in Randalstown!

Found myself in the area, working late and wanting fed. Had a notion for good fish and chips in a diner type place. Waves was perfect, lovely crispy batter and juicy fish, and chunky chips that weren’t greasy. Fully recommend this place

Great food. Also had good fast service. I will definitely be back.

To be honest not great. Batter on fish and sausage thick and stodgy, chips were OK.

Stopped in, ordered fish and chips. The order was ready very quickly. Very fast and efficient. The fish was crispy and not saturated with grease. Very tasty. The chips were good as well. Worth the visit.

Brilliant fish and chips! We decided to sit to eat and it was excellent with grat service.

Reasonable price and very good portion, a bit expensive for beverages though. Counter girl is quite friendly today 🙂

Closes half an hour earlier than advertised time when you try to order. Staff are rude and ignore phone calls 90% of time as well

This place used to be my favourite chippy not anymore Young girls on phone and serving at till were extremely rude A portion of chips?? Think I counted 10 chips! Will not be back Hugely disappointed

Best fish and chips in Ireland. Say no more.

Well cooked food.keep the standard up!!

Great food and friendly staff. Very accessible

Friend staff and brilliant grub

Sat in and took 55 mins to get our order, no WiFi signal,staff under pressure.

Staff could say please and thank you

Put in a big take away order, it was prepared quickly the food was tasty and still warm after a bit of a drive. Staff were very nice and helpful and parking outside was convenient

Brilliant service and excellent quality food.

Called in for a bite to eat and really enjoyed the Maryland burger.Was with my dad who gor a pensioners meal which was discounted. Large portions and would recommend giving it a try if passing.

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

The best fish you'll get anywhere!

No idea how anyone can give this place a bad review. Food and service is excellent, affordable and filling. what more can you want?

Brilliant wee chippy. Food is always lovely and is well priced. Love getting a snack box at lunch time in work as a treat!

Do a great Fish and chip plus loads more at a reasonable price

Fantastic fish and chips,every single time. Table service is excellent. Lovely to have a mug of tea too. Spotlessly clean and wonderful staff. Highly recommend!

Food was beautiful and good portion size. Service was friendly and efficient.

Good food, good value for money and friendly staff.

Nice and clean, good portions of food and reasonable priced.

Only chip shop I would use hot tasty good priced food 5 star

Excellent fish and chips. One of the nicest pieces of fish I have ever tasted. Can order in advance. Friendly staff.

Very good Staff were excellent.

Food a bit greasy sometimes other times not as bad

Nicest Chippy in the area and further. Family got a take away on Christmas Eve absolutely amazing food and didn't take too long. You get alot of food for your money and all high quality ingredients used. More like a restaurant than a fish and chip shop! We didn't sit in but it looked very nice and clean. 10/10 would recommend to all!!!

Excellent food , excellent service

Usual due to covid it's now order by phone and collect. Pre covid waves one of best chippys about. Now very poor. Hamburger meat reheated, chips poor quality very disappointed. Service not much better

Went here on Saturday 14th March with my family. First time in this restaurant. It was packed out! Portion size was pretty big! But shame it all had to go too waste. Food wasn't good. I doubt il be back!!!!

I’m a regular here and I’ve always enjoyed my meals. There is a wide variety to choose from, the food itself is soooo nice, staff is always helpful and the prices are decent.

Loving the food.and chips are delicious

Brilliant food. Chips are out of this world and their chicken dishes are delicious.

First class for quality, cleanliness, selection, helping size and waiting time. Just one improvement I think could be made is the staff need cheering up.

Not very good and I had to wait a long time for this so called chips soggy and cheese burger nap burnt definitely would not recommend this place

Good food with a good atmosphere.

Great food, and very casual surroundings

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.

Good chip shop , polite , efficient , tasty , good menu.

The quality of the food was good and the staff were friendly

Found this place by mistake, and it was a great find, the food was gorgeous, plenty of it, and services was top notch

Cheap and cheerful with good grub and a friendly service

Genuinely the best chippy in the country

Great food. Nice clean facilities.

Great food and lovely staff never disappointed with the food

Very very expensive.. staff are always grumpy

Beautiful food and fast service

Good food for a chippy friendly atmosphere

Best resturant around great fish

Good for a chippy. Recommend their chicken special

Food came immediately after ordering. Tasty, hot and fresh! Definitely will be back!!

Great fish and chips and also does a good Ulster Fry.

Never can go wrong with waves wether your sitting in or taking away. Have never had a bad feed out of here yet. We always fibd it best to phone order so its ready when you get there as its always busy which is also a good sign

Food just ok ,could of been warmer

Always enjoy our visit, plenty of food and weĺl tasty.

The only downside is opening times do not go by the website for opening hours,we went over from Antrim on new year's eve and the place had closed at 7:00pm even though it said on the website it stayed open until 10:00,it would save people at lot of bother.
