Reviews for Newman's Grotto in Eugene, OR
Fish and chips are great. Don?t bother with clam chowder. It?s often luke warm (not safe for a creamy soup) and most of the time... there are no potatoes or clams. I?d be ashamed to charge $5 for a bowl of clam chowder with no clams. Edit on 9/26/22: I giveup. I have asked to make sure there are clams and potatoes every time I get the chowder. Today there are plenty of potatoes -undercooked, almost raw, no clams, and it is cold. I?m done with Newmans. I notice they respond to positive reviews, but don?tbother with negative ones. Must not care to improve their products, evidenced by the torn up fish in my last order. GoodbyeNewmans. Read more
Love love love this place. We always get the cod and the salmon, with tartar and cocktail sauces. The fish is fantastic, always... tastes fresh and the portions are consistent and reasonable for the price. The way the food is wrapped up in waxed butcher paperkeeps it hot for a good while, so it doesn't matter if you have a longer trip home with takeout. The tartar sauce is simple butwell made: thick and creamy, lightly seasoned, not too heavy on dill or pickle. Cocktail sauce is the same: good ketchup flavorand just the right horseradish kick. Cajun seasoned fries are good, but the fries are fine without it, too. Read more
The food is good and they have outdoor seating, but the area around where you order inside was noticeably very dirty. That is... pretty unusual for a food place and it makes me wonder how dirty it is where we can't see. The cashier was very friendly. Wegot the fried cod and the fried salmon. The cod was better. I recommend the cod. Read more
Best fish and chips around. The cod is fresh and without a heavy batter. The fries are pretty good too. The Cole slaw is... somewhat bland but if you're wanting fish and chips I'm guessing that really isn't a big issue. Highly recommend Newman's. Read more
Only been here twice, the food is always good, Had the fish and chips. Not like traditional fish and chips, you have a variety... of different types of fish, I chose the Salmon After you order its like 10to 15 min wait. I only gave 3 stars because theGentleman that was taking the orders really needed a happy pill and some customer service skills. But other that that nicelittle fish house. You have inside seating or outside Read more
I generally don't like seafood so basically can handle cod and halibut. The cod and halibut here are fantastic! Thick cuts and... the halibut really is the chicken of the sea as it had almost similar taste and texture but lighter. Mo's and some other coastaleateries can't compare. Read more
I just had the very best Halibut Fish-n -chips I've ever tasted..thin breading and perfectly flaky fish made lunch amazing... ????. Can't wait to go back! Read more
Best fish meals in the area. This is my Friday ritual every week. My favorite is the cod and chips and their tarter sauce is the... best around. Their skin on fries are just as wonderful as the fish. It's a little taste of the coast right here in Eugene. Read more
