The fish sandwich is the best! All items are great! I think that there is a lot for people to enjoy! My Granddaughters also love your food! Really do like the Lobster roll.The Service was great! I don't think that it is not too much to wait for items . Next time I will call in when I want your items!
Great food and very friendly! We enjoyed the takeout fish sandwiches, french fries and the onion rings were excellent.
It had been sometime since we've been to a fish fry place, So we decided to head over to Aker's Fish House and give it a shot. The interior of the restaurant was clean, the staff was extremely friendly, and the food displays looked good. I ordered my meal, and shortly afterward, I headed home to eat. The fish fry was very good. I was given a very long piece, which I broke up to fit into the bun. The tartar sauce was delicious, and exactly what I was looking for. As for the sides, the mac and cheese was good, very traditional real mac and cheese, not that boxed stuff (which has its place). The french fries reminded me of the kind you get at baseball games when I was a little kid. They were cooked perfectly, and hit the spot. The coleslaw was yummy, with a slight sweetness to it that kept me coming back for more. Overall, we both really like this place and will definitely be coming back. It's not fine dining by any stretch, and that's a good thing, because it's a fish fry place, and a very good one at that!
As soon as you walk in, you get the feeling that this one a favorite among the locals. I witnessed the workers engaging with customers on a first name basis and it appears to be family-owned and operated. The menu provides a nice variety and includes some non-seafood options. There isn't a ton of seating inside, but there is also outdoor seating. I ordered the fish fry and the lobster roll. The fish fry was pretty standard and didn't stand out much, but the lobster was a different story. The lobster roll was PACKED full of lobster. It was a Connecticut style roll, so it was warm and there was no mayo....just butter! No lettuce, no scallions, no fillers.....just lobster! The only drawback is that they charge an 3.99% when using a credit card. I believe it used to be cash-only, so accepting credit/debit cards would be an improvement. However, it'd be nice to not have the extra. I've been here twice and may make it a 3rd time real soon.
Fish dinners was excellent, sweet potato fries and hush puppies were yummy. Arrive was friendly and pretty quick. All in all it was good and we will go again.
