Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the gluten-free options, which are often hard to find in traditional chippies. The light, crispy batter receives numerous compliments, elevating the fish to new heights of flavor and texture. Generous portion sizes also stand out, providing a great value for the £5.00 price tag. Many diners appreciate the friendly, polite staff who make each visit enjoyable. Families love the kids' menu, ensuring even the little ones find something delectable to eat. It's not just a meal; it's an experience that beckons patrons to return.
Most Disliked
Some customers express frustration over the cash-only payment policy that can catch first-time visitors off guard. While the food generally receives high praise, a few reviews mention occasional inconsistency in chip quality—some being less crispy than expected. The cafe can become busy during lunchtime, leading to longer wait times, which might not suit everyone. Despite these minor hiccups, the majority of feedback remains overwhelmingly positive, highlighting that the quality of food often overshadows any inconvenience.

Taking cash only which caught me out a bit, so come prepared. Plenty of seats to wait on my order. Very airy so relatively covid safe while I waited. Ordered two fish. Took probably less than 5 minutes. Fish was excellent and reasonably priced at £5.00. Very nice fish it was too. Not at all greasy which can spoil a fish for me.

Ordered a takeaway from here tonight. GF fish supper, GF onion rings and fish supper. Been using John Dory’s in Lisburn for GF but it’s gone downhill. Jimmys did not disappoint. The fish was fantastic, chips were cooked to perfection, not fried and re-fried like some other places do. GF batter was very good. 👍 definitely will be back again.
