We love our fish and chips but this place was very average. Chips were not the best but fish was good. Quite pricey aswell for fish and chips. Its in a perfect location on the strand though to grab a bite and sit on the grass of the strand. Service was average aswell.
Harolds is a busy little place right in the heart of the strand. The fish and chips are pretty good as are the burgers l. They are probably a little more expensive then competitors but you pay that for location.
Visited for lunch on a recent trip to the city. Lovely, friendly service. It was a fairly busy day but they had our order out to us very quickly. The food was delicious and the portions were HUGE! Excellent value for money! Beautiful location right on the strand.
Harold's has some pretty great quality fresh fish and is located in one of the nicest places in Townsville directly opposite the strand. Harold's provides some outside seating for its customers but most take their fish and chips with them and sit down at the beach to eat. Apart from your general fish and chip shop items Harold's also do some very tasty salads to compliment your meal. Harold's really corner the market at the Strand due to their position and are quite expensive compared to other fish and chip shops in the local area. It is though a lovely place to take the family or a date.
Approximate cost: $12-25
Harold's does a decent fish and chips and some good burgers however they are much too expensive for simple fish and chips. They have the prime location on the strand so they get plenty of business but if they charged these prices elsewhere they wouldn't get much business. It's nice to get some fish and chips and go across the road and eat on the grass however there are better fish and chips in Townsville.
Approximate cost: $14
Never waited 25 minutes for fish and chips. They didn't have vinegar (love vinegar on fish and chips) and they cover it in salt, so much salt. So second visit I ask for just a tiny little bit but again gross visibly salt everywhere. Hate this place
Sorry about the wait, that's life sometimes when 400 orders come in 2 hours! We serve lemon with every serve of fish & there is a plentiful supply of free vinegar always. The majority request salt so sorry, the minority have to request "no salt please"
Make sure you have plenty of time, the food is wonderful, and freshly cooked!! There are always long ques, but the food is worth it for a casual Sunday when your not in a rush I recommend it.
Long queues, inaudible announcements when food ready, overpriced, my food was given to the wrong customer without forthcoming apology. Really resting on its laurels without any competition in the area for fish and chips.
Approximate cost: $18
Why long queues? Could it be that the food is popular? I believe so.
or then again, it could just be the lack of competition....
The long queues speak for them selves. The PA system has been replaced with pages. Prices: we consider our prices to be best value in Townsville because we sell local fish caught in the WILD (not imported) cooked in healthy sunflower oil with the Heart Tick, gluten free chips. But always apologise for any errors we make occasionally
Very expensive, quality doesn't match. $1 surcharge for paying with card, get with the times, $2.50 for sauce, $2.20 for a potato scallop..gouge gouge gouge! The food was ok but for the cost and the add ons they need to deliver more!
Approximate cost: $15-20
FACT- we do not charge a fee to use credit cards
FACT- mackerel fillets 110g barramundi 230g
Definitely disappointing. Average chips, prawns and scallops. Chips were ok but not worth the price.
Agreed, expensive and average quality
