Was told it was famous and the best and I would agree. Really enjoyed the home made onion rings and the fish/chips. All were outstanding and so was the Iceberg beer 🍺
Ordered a feast from here last night! Got the captains mess with a batch of scallops and shrimp to go. The staff made great reccomendations- were friendly and accommodating. Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh- delivered to my door in good time. Definitely heard the hype about this St. John's chain beforehand and was not disappointed! Would definitely order from them again!
Went there during non peak time. Service was good. Quick seating, fast drinks and orders. The deep fried food was good as well, but would be nice to have some non deep fried options.
I've been here many times and never had bad service. The food is delicious! The servers have always been amazing, friendly they go above and beyond for myself and my dining companions. I've seen them serve tables for 10+ with a smile on their face the whole time. I've never had an order messed up and the staff treat you like family. Try the scallops and chips!
St. John’s (one of my favorite places in the world!) has a wide variety of places to eat, from small to large, ethic to local, cheap eats to gourmet cuisine. But where are the best places to feed your kids – and yourself? No overplayed children’s menus here – these are great restaurants that serve excellent food.
Amazing food - we loved the Fin and Feather combo, Splits, Steamed cod, lemon meringue pie, coconut cream pie and snowballs. The little Ches is a great drink too. Yummy!
A St. John's Tradition. I came all the way from Florida to visit Ches's - best fish & chips I've ever had anywhere. The fish is fresh and moist in a nice crispy batter, and the chips and gravy are so good they're a food group all their own. You haven't had the full St. John's experience unless you stop at Ches's.
My Absolute Fav Fish and Chips Restaurant!. One of the reasons why I miss Newfoundland so much. There's nothing like the codbite special with fries, dressing and gravy smothered in Ches's own malt vinegar. If you ever visit Newfoundland, this is the place to try.
It is one of the best in Canada. Just came back from Alberta and try to get a good plate of fish and chips up there is almost impossible. Fast delivery, better sit down service on torbay road.
Didn't get my free cupcake but other than that great fish and chips.
Best fish n chips in the world. Must go if u are visiting St John's
I love flour-less chocolate cake because it is a mixture of everything good. Fudge like consistency, and taste of a chocolate cake and chocolate bar all mixed into one. I also had a lovely almond tea to balance the sweetness. My friend caught me licking the paper after it was gone, we locked eyes and began to laugh, but only another gluten free-bee could understand my joy at a delicious, non-pain inducing, desert.
...the first week, we'd eaten there three times! First two were during slow times and the Fish & Chips were incredible! Crispy batter, fish right on and the chips, PERRRRFECT! But the third time, Ches's was slammed, packed to the gunnels and our plates arrived a bit greasy. Argh!
Checked out this spot based on a recommendation received by a local acquittance. Ordered takeout in-store and the whole process was quick. The lady who took my order was friendly.
It was my first time trying the NL staple called a “dressing”. I’m not a fan of stuffing usually but this was surprisingly delicious when eaten with gravy on top of fries!!! The meal was satisfying and fresh. The dish was meaty and the batter was just perfect. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the resto didn’t serve homemade tartar sauce. :( The experience would have been better if my fish wasn’t accompanied by prepackaged sauce.
I’ll definitely return to get fries with gravy and dressing!
Since they were crazy busy (Friday supper hour), there was a slip up where not every part of my take out order was ready on time. I was pressed for time, so they offered to work with me and let me walk out immediately with a reasonable substitution.
I've eaten from here a lot, and this was the first time I had any kind of issue. I don't blame them for the delay, and I give them a lot of credit for doing so well to accommodate me around it. So while I didn't get exactly what I ordered (I could have, if I waited a while), it was a really positive service experience.
As a visiting tourist - visiting Ches’s on our first night felt like an authentic start. Over all the meal was fairly good (perhaps not our best fish and chips in Nfld. But good just the same for Cod out of season). Definitely recommend a meal here for those looking for an authentic experience, we were there on a Thursday night and it was definitely busy with walk-ins and takeout orders.
