Reviews for Chef John's Fish & Chips in Lemon Grove, CA
Great food. One piece is enough for one person but it is pricey. Worth it but it is a 15 dollar lunch that doesn't leave you... feeling too full. Fish is fresh and cooked perfectly. Read more
I've only had the deep fried fish and 4 shrimp $16 and order extra side of hush puppies. My order is usually $23.00. It... comes with fries and 2 sauces of your choice (hot sauce, tartar sauce, ketchup and i forgot the others). Hush puppies areextra cost, around $5 to $6 for 6 pieces. The first 5 times I truly enjoyed my food. The last time I went it wasn't as good. Not sure if they are cutting back on the quality or not. They are always busy so people like their food. Yes I would buy fromthem again. It's deep fried so I don't try to eat it often but every now and then I go clog up the arteries and enjoy my fish. Read more
The fish and onion rings were fried to perfection. I found the meal super satisfying and would definitely recommend Chef John's... for anyone craving some fish and chips. I would also recommend calling ahead to place your order for puck-up, as it was a 15minute wait for my meal. Read more
Honestly have not had better fish & chips. Everything is made to order and comes out piping hot. The restaurant has great... service and is spotless. I can't complain about a thing. Read more
Chef John?s has my favorite fish and chips in San Diego. The tartar sauce is good but I prefer the malt vinegar. Haven?t found... comparable yet?I stop in still almost monthly. Read more
I ordered the 3 seafood platter with fish, shrimp, and clams. It also came with fries. It's made fresh as soon as you order it... so it took 20 mins to cook. Minimal grease and very good. Everything had a great crisp to it. You can ask for sauces andseasoning on the side. I saw some review about them not speaking a lot of English but they definitely do. The staff was veryfriendly and polite. I will definitely be back. Read more
Fish had nice batter. Very crunchy and golden brown but no seasoning. Which it badly needed. Fries were seasoned good. They even... wrap it in faux London newspaper so you get authentic fish and chip feel. They don't speak much english here. Only enough totake your order. I had to wait 20 mins for them to prepare my food even though I was the ONLY customer there! They do offer lotsof other seafood items, scallops & oysters etc. Since Captain Sams went downhill ???? this will be my new go to place. Bringsalt, lol Read more
