Classic Midwestern fish and chips shack delivering crisp fried fish and quick counter service at fair prices, with occasional complaints about fries, cleanliness, and inconsistent service.
Mac's Fish & Chips delivers reliable neighborhood seafood through solid food quality and quick service, but inconsistent execution—soggy fries, occasional stockouts, variable seasoning—prevents a higher grade. The worn interior and cramped seating lack appeal, though the casual vibe suits its no-frills identity. Worth visiting for fresh-caught fish on a good day, but not a destination establishment.
A no-frills neighborhood fry shop near Como Park, Mac's runs on crisp batter, hot baskets, and quick counter service. The room feels very casual, and on a good day plates land with steam and sea salt sparkle. As one diner put it, "the fish was flaky with a light crunch," while another wished the fries were crispier; the vibe is more fish shack than destination dining. Cooking here favors classic comfort over clever twists. Expect straightforward fish and chips, regional walleye on special, and tacos with a lime-jalapeno lift. When the oil is fresh and the timing right, the cod and halibut sing; occasional off days bring softer fries or missing items late night. If you want fuss-free seafood that arrives fast, this spot fits the bill. Families do well thanks to approachable fried basics like fish, chicken, fries, and curds. There is no kids menu called out, but portions and formats are kid-friendly. Note that everything shares a fryer, so shellfish allergies face cross-contact risk despite otherwise easygoing, picnic-table dining.
