Oak City Fish & Chips

Very nice service and fun surroundings.On a visit to check out the latest food hall offerings downtown, we tried the fish and chips and hush puppies.The fish had some stray bones and, I'll grant you, this is not my favorite style of breading - I'm more of a flour-based / Tempura fan.Fries were good if a little over-seasoned, and I didn't care for the contents of the dip packets. The tartar sauce and cocktail sauces were not appropriate or appetizing. How hard can it be to make those or order better alternatives in bulk.Did appreciate the malt vinegar, though, and made everything taste better.An okay option if you come here, and I've heard the lobster pops are their main draw anyway at their State Fair booth.

Grand ReOpening Alert--Oak City Fish and Chips reopened July 2022 and I got a chance to attend a preview event. This location has plenty of free parking which if you ever been to the Morgan Street Food Hall location, that is a plus. But both Raleigh, NC locations have same great menu, same great taste! Invited guests got an exclusive first look before the re-opening and tried some of the yummy items off the menu which features fresh, fast (less than 90 secs to cook) and flavorful, lightly battered fried seafood. Must Tries: Fried Lobster Brown Sugar HushPuppies Fish Platter EVERYTHING ‼All the fixings are available--ketchup,tarter sauce,hot sauce and an array of beverages to choose from to wash it all down. I'm giving it 4 stars because my platter was too salty for my liking ,however I'm pretty sure you can ask for minimal salt.

If I could get away with NO stars, then that's what I would give. If you want to be ignored by staff who are much too busy on their (HER) phone to acknowledge you, then this is the spot for you. If you want to order the "pick 3 basket," just know you can't order 3 of the same thing even though they have run out of scallop. If you LOVE your unbattered calamari in the form of tiny nuggets fried hard and quite disgusting, then this is the spot to go. I will never ever go back; they have lost a customer. Go next door to Cousins for a warm Connecticut roll. Some folks will never understand that customer service and good food are what make a good restaurant.

10/18/20: I've only ever been to their food truck, so when I found this restaurant, I was excited. We ordered whiting, shrimp, scallops, & hush puppies. Unfortunately, the put the seafood on top of a bunch of burnt fries, so it kind of tastes burnt. For the price of the food, they should do better at making sure the food is edible. No one wants burnt food. Period! The fish was burnt a little bit, but the scallops & shrimp were good. The hushpuppies were good too. The service was good. Again, I just wish they put more care into the quality of the food they put out.

Over priced and too salty. For $42 including tax, I received one piece of fish fried rock hard, 5 salty shrimps,5 salty pieces of oysters, a handful of salty fries, 5 salty clams. The fish had many bones.

The New Birch Drive location is CLOSED and has been for a year. Check their website for confirmation.

Listen, I tasted a little of this food when someone else purchased a meal. It was great. So we went today and the seasoning, it's almost unbearable. Wayyyy too salty and wayyy to spicy. The combination is just horrible. Second problem is, how well your food is cooked, is going to depend upon who's working that day. Because the first time my husband said it was just perfect. But this time, ALL OF OUR FOOD was over cooked. Like the shrimp was so overcooked it was just dried up inside and the calamari were just overcooked to the point that it was like eating fried, salty, spicy cardboard. It's a complete NO for me and I would not recommend them PERIODT! If you hust have to go tell them upfront that you do not want tour food ovwrcooked or over seasoned! How can any menu be that inconsistent. I know it's not fine dining, and it's just fried fish but why they cooking it the same length of time it takes to fry chicken. Someone needs to educate their cooks. Everything you see in that picture is overcooked and over seasoned AND OVER SALTED. UNBEARABLE!

Still awaiting payment for services provided to this company in May and June of this year. They will not answer the phone, unable to leave voicemail and they have not responded to any email that has been sent. Prestige Fleet Services

I had two pieces of fish and calamari and they where real good and my wife had fish and shrimp excellent

So I've been to both locations a few times. Each time trying something different. The 1st time was when they had the red snapper. It was okay but not fried hard enough for me and they left the bones in lol sooo you couldn't really enjoy the meal. The next time I went I got the shrimp "basket". The amount of food in that box was enough to feed a toddler and she wanted more after eating. The last time I went was when they had the salmon fries a few weeks ago. Again the portion was not worth the price. It literally had 5 pieces of salmon thrown on top of a toddler size handful of fries. And the fries were soggy, absolutely no crisp to them whatsoever. Overall, the food was seasoned well but it's really not worth the price. IMO
