(Blackbeard's BLT)The food is amazing! The fried appetizers were perfection. I've yet to be at another British themed restaurant that got the authenticity of the batter correctly. Excellent service and the staff was really kind. If you like small, comfy, hole-in-the-wall diners, I'd definitely recommend it.
As a British family living in the USA we take the opportunity wherever possible to sample food from the Homeland.This restaurant came with good reviews so we gave it a lunchtime whirl.My husband ordered the cod and chips, and I ordered the battered sausage. A staple as a Yorkshire woman.The restaurant opens at 11am. There was a long list of things not available on the menu.The Shepherds Pie, all the gourmet burgers. No chicken tenders.The lamb I understand. It is notoriously difficult to get where we live. Burgers I am unsure, we were not there for that. Chicken tenders, bit of a deal breaker for my teenage picky eaters that grew up this side of the pond. One didn't order anything, the other ordered funnel cakes fries for lunch. Oh well, when in Rome, or PCB!When our food arrived the hand cut chips we were there for were not present. They were frozen french fries out of a bag. Both my husband and I just looked at each other.When the wait staff asked how our meal was,I asked where are the chips?One member of staff then explained that the chips require a soak they have flown in from England and they had not done soaking.I was rather bemused by this. Chips are soaked in salty water, sometimes bicarbonate of soda and water to remove starch before frying. Things that are readily available in the USA.Every self respecting chippy in England has 5 gallon buckets of chips soaking overnight.In the future, I would suggest being honest up front and giving people the choice to either wait,or not about the lack of chips thing. But if the chippy is open at 11am you have to have chips.Hubby's cod was good.My sausage was tasty, but barely battered. Flour the sausage before battering. Maybe they did,or didn't but the batter didn't stick. Fish was battered just fine.My husband wanted to leave. I was adamant I was sticking it out for the real chips.I gave this restaurant a 4 because we stuck it out and they gave us 2 piping hot baskets of chips, which made for a great chip butty later on back at our apartment.In summary if you have never had a proper chippy meal maybe give it a whirl, but not until the afternoon. And make sure they have chips before you order.
Exceptional British fare. Staff was beyond nice and helpful. Do yourself and family a favor while in PCB and order some fish and chips. You won’t be disappointed. I believe Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith would agree with my review.
This place was very good, you have a wide range of plates to order and definitely it’s a must try if you are nearby. They have English food as well as some American dishes. We ordered the corn nuggets and they were surprisingly tasty.The burger was ok, the meat was actually very good but overcooked in my opinion.
We are still trying to figure out how this place is ranked in the top 10. The fries are really good. The fish is o.k. I think it would be better if it was split in two smaller pieces vs. one big piece. It seems like the larger the piece the less done it is in the middle. The fried shrimp has entirely too much batter on it, its honestly all you can taste. The bangers and hash was ok if you don't like flavor in your food. The beer is warm however, we knew that would be a thing prior to going but the selection of beer is lacking.
Went there because of ratings but never again. Fish and chips was decent but shrimp and bangers and mash were below average. Way to expensive for this quality of food. Service was not that good either and there was only one other table in the place. Save your money and go elsewhere.
Cod Fish and Chips was DELICIOUS! The Cole slaw and tarter sauce that go with the fish was also amazing. My wife got the 3 sliders and loved the hamburger meat because it really seemed hand pattied. Excited to come back for full size burger and sticky toffee pudding. Oh, yes, the sweet tea is very sweet and delicious too! Can't wait to find the food truck around town too.
Stopped in for lunch and had coconut shrimp and curry chips to start, followed by haddock with chips and slaw for me and a spicy black bean burger for the teen. She rated the spicy 7 out of 10 and enjoyed it. Waitress and hostess were very attentive and sweet, and the food came out fast and piping hot. Definitely recommend!!
Best sweet tea in Florida, tasted like it came from Ky, they were out of several things due to Biden, but still had enough to choose from, everyone was real nice and would go back
Small little hole in the wall place. Very friendly service. We had the haddock fish and chips and they were very tasty and fresh.
