Most Disliked
Some patrons have noted the cash-only policy can be inconvenient, especially for those unprepared, potentially causing delays in what is otherwise a swift service. While the atmosphere excels at being casual and family-friendly, a few have mentioned that it might sometimes feel a bit cramped during peak hours, especially for those with larger families. A limited menu can also limit options for those seeking more adventurous flavors, although the classic fish and chips remain a highlight. A few diners have also suggested longer operating hours would enhance accessibility for evening cravings.
