Marino's Seafood

A step back in time, service is always good and the fish and chips can't be beat. I always stop in when I'm in the area.

It is with great regret that I have to remove a star from Marino's. Marino's fries would probably hold a spot in my top 10 fries in the city. HOWEVER, when I went today, they changed the fries they used. They are much smaller than before and are not nearly as good either. I hope this is a temporary thing, because if not, I will probably come here less often.I ordered the Crab Cake platter today, because it was on special. I wasn't overly impressed. Once you have had crab cakes in Maryland, it is hard to be pleased elsewhere. So, along with the change in fries, my experience was not the best. If I do decide to return, I will ask about the fries before purchasing them.Customer Service 1-5=4.Crab Cakes 1-5=3.Fries 1-5=3.Tartar Sauce 1-5=5!

My first time in Columbus and I drove by this place and the signage caught my eye. Very old school and it looked like a staple in the community. I didn't know if I would get a chance to try them out but I did. I had some time to kill before heading to the airport so I dropped in. The customer service was good the food comes out fast and was fresh. They had all the condiments you needed from malt vinegar to tater and cocktail sauce and of course ketchup. Consistent traffic coming through and plenty of places to sit down and eat if you have the time. I would come back.

It's a throwback of the old Arthur treacher's fish and chips it's really a nostalgic thing for me however I found out on Saturdays they do all you can eat fish but just go check it out have a good time the hush puppies are probably the best but the fries and everything is just like old Arthur treacher's fish and chips. Don't get the crab cakes they are not good at all . Service is with a smile. Ambiance is the same as the old Arthur treachers

Tried Marino's for lunch to try their fish and chips. Two fish, 2 hush puppies, and chips for just under $10. I'm not a hush puppies guy but these were tasty. The chips were wedges and ok too. The two fish pieces were nicely fried but I got the feeling it was pollock fish and not a nice firm piece of cod. But with a little tartar sauce, I was good. There's other seafood to try but I test every restaurant first with their most basic dish, this time fried fish filets. The combos are priced very well so it was no surprise that the restaurant had a packed lunch crowd.Of course I'm spoiled by the fish and chips place I had in a neighborhood place in London, England. Two huge pieces of cod there. Maybe not fair to compare real fish and chips to any place in the States.

So I always read how Marino's is a Columbus staple and its been on my list for quite some time. I finally hunkered down to try it and I definitely waited too long!Its a very unassuming shop, decked out like a little time capsule and probably very easy to miss. However the food was excellent and affordable! I got the seafood platter and a side of fried oysters, cause why not? The fish was so crisp and light and it held up to a trip back home too. The fries and oysters were also quite nice. The scallops and shrimp were ok but again, for the price it was great! Even though I only had fried foods, nothing felt greasy and I basically ate my weight in food.If you're craving fried seafood of any sort, Marino's is a high recommendation!

Wow. A little history/context. Back in the day, my parents would stop and get me Arthur Treachers for some fish and chips. I only remember that it did not seem like the processed white fish served today by many fast food restaurants.If you could take all the things you like in a seafood place (deep fried fish, awesome chips, hush puppies, etc) and then add some elevated items chicken, crab cakes shrimp, clam chowder, etc. You would have Marinos.I stopped by while visiting my mother to pick up lunch. The service and food was excellent. It was a nice treat for my Mom. I will be back. A strong recommend.

Quick, fast, good, affordable. Warmed up very well in the air fryer. Will definitely return anytime im in that area!!!

My first time here! I was craving fish and chips and thought I'd give something new a try. This little spot while aesthetically simple was warm and friendly on the inside. The two ladies at the front were so friendly and helpful! They are the kind of people you want to support and see succeed. As for the food, they offer a wider variety of fried seafood than I expected. You can get fish, shrimp, scallops and crab cakes. I went for the 2pc fish dinner that included a small coleslaw, hush puppies, and fries. I got an extra piece of fish because I was extra hungry today and the filets looked a little on the small side. I thought everything was crisp and not to heavily battered. Overall I thought it was tasty. The hush puppies were interesting. There was some ingredient that I wasn't expecting so I was a little unsure if I liked it. However it didn't stop me from eating them anyway! Lol. While not my favorite fish and chips in Columbus (I love Cap City Diner's), I would definitely give them another try. Over the value was good. My whole ticket was a little over $10. I added a Star just for the friendliness of the staff!

Great tasting fish and chips and a good value. I would have given 5 stars but had to remove one for not being the most healthy meal. . But what the hell. It's ok to indulge every now and then. After all. You only live once.
