What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Tom's Fish & Chips for its friendly service, perfectly cooked fish, and flavorful clam chowder. While many appreciate the casual atmosphere and dog-friendly patio, some find the prices a bit high for the portion sizes and occasionally note a lack of seasoning or texture in certain dishes.
"Tom's is our favorite place to lunch on the coast! Excellent service, delicious food, clean restaurant and bathrooms! Shawn is very kind and attentive, he was patient with our group and we were all super happy with the experience. The grilled cod fish and chips were PERFECTLY cooked, we truly enjoyed everything we ordered. I was impressed with the salmon option and found it to taste as excellent as the cod. The clam chowder is superb. The chicken tenders were a huge portion and delicious! I will be proudly sporting my new Tom's Fish & Chips shirt and highly recommend this place to all! Thank you Shawn and crew for always giving us a the best meals with top notch service!"

"It was our first visit to Tom's and we reached there before noon. We were lucky to get a parking spot as the parking lots were very limited. There were only a few tables for indoor seating and we were glad to find ourselves a booth table. Ordering was easy as it was self service. We had fish and chips and clam chowder.The fish and chips arrived hot and glistening with that golden crispy batter. However the clam chowder did not quite hit the mark as it was lack in seasoning and thinned. Do head over for early lunch before it gets busy and to minimise waiting time."

"My first time here and I'm a new fan! The salmon & chips were hot and perfect. The generous-sized salmon wasn't overcooked, and the batter was super crispy. I eat a lot of fish & chips in Seattle so I know casual delicious seafood. These guys are doing it right! On a busy Saturday in August (thanks to 100F inland) the service was fast and all the guys were attentive. Thanks for providing the best beach picnic dinner! I hope to be back soon!"
