    Quality of chips needs to addressed and we ate in and no lemon available so if you eat here you better bring your own lemon with you. When I asked for some lemon they did not seem to care. Have been eating here for years would think again before returning. Well we returned bought a meal went to get our drink sign on fridge says drinks not cold, well that's not good enough, asked if they had any ice was told no. Well looks like we will be going to the store on Grand junction Rd in the future better management there. The chickettes were so over cooked I couldn't eat mine and never seen chips this dark from barnacle bills. Place has gone to the dogs since the man who owned it left.

    I wouldn't go back. Prawns, calamari and scallops were okay. But both the fish and the chips were terrible. Undercooked, bland and barely warm. And we dined in, it's not like we bought take away and it went cold before we got home. Left half of my chips on the plate because of their taste and left the restaurant unfulfilled and unsatisfied.

    Fish and chips at Barnacle Bill were naturally flavourful and salty in a good way. Staff were in good spirit and seemed like they tried to show positive attitude, which add on the customer's experience. I would suggest investing in redesigning the interior to make it look classy and increase sales.

    Food was good, more salt would have been better and Calamari a bit more cooked. But on saying that I still enjoyed it. Service was good and atmosphere could be better.

    Back in South Australia after ten years. My excitement about Barnacle bills led me to the nearest outlet. I was surprised at the combo deals only and the price. Granted the prawns where fresh and nice but the price for combo (chips) sort of put me off. However, whilst in store, cook time fast and witnessed repeat customers.

    Always good food from here. The restaurant is still stuck in the 80’s, which is not a bad thing, and the service is nice and friendly!

    First time I dined in this location. Had a lovely lunch with the family for a birthday. The food was great, the place was nice and clean and the place was nice and cool as AC was on. Parking was easy we found easy parking right infront. Great service and we didn't wait too long either. I am definitely comming back. This is actually my favourite barnicle bills location now.

    My experience always good here, I've started getting coleslaw too it's crunchy and seems fresh unlike other takeaway places you know have coleslaw sitting out back for days

  • 1/5 David G. 1 year ago on Google
    The bag brags the cooking oil is high in monounsaturated fats and low in saturated fats when the latest research shows you want the opposite - food low in unsaturated fats and definitely not a seed oil. The smothering tartar sauce is mostly sugar and the bun is high in sugar. The fish was tasteless. See you again never.
