40 reviews about A Salt And Battery

Not sure why everyone likes this place. I live down the street to it (walking distance) but will drive to another fish and chips place because a salt and battery is not only expensive, they have flat, flavourless fish and calamari. The only good thing about them is beer battered chips, which I will happily eat but their seafood is seriously lacking. I have given these guys 3 tries over the last 2 years. Time shows no improvement, was disappointed every time.

They rely on the area's wealthy local, and indiscriminate student populations to stay open.

Before I wrote this review I had wondered why so many people are complimenting this place. I guess if you paid exorbitant amounts of money for something, and your other choice is instant noodles, you'd think it was really good too.

I have not tried their burgers.

There are two other fish and chips shops in the area (indro and taringa). I recommend giving those a go instead.

Approximate cost: $20

Went here when I used to live around Indooroopilly. The food is good and quite reasonably priced and the atmosphere is nice. I didn't go for the fish at all as I'm not a big fan but there were plenty of other items.

The food was very tasty with a great price. The chefs there were very talented. The fish was fresh and there was a wide range of options for what to eat, as well as non-fish items.

Approximate cost: $10.00

Along with very good fish and chips, these guys do a great burger too. The burgers are done on a very tasty, substantial bread. Their choice of soft drinks are good, and the cola is very tasty, but the drinks are too expensive. Definitely a great place for some take away fish and chips.

For some unknown reason there are a lot of people who go on about how great this seafood shop is and I must admit I was one of those people until I found a fly in the battered product I was about to eat. Ever since then I have been turned off this restaurant and prefer to buy fish and chips from another takeaway store that has better value for money.

Had to stop here and eat with my friend, as she recommended it. To me it looked a bit expensive for fish and chips, and there was a lot of people there and I was really hesitant about hanging around waiting for too long, but my friend assured me it was worth it. So we did wait quite a bit for our fish and chips, but they turned out to be well worth it. They were just fresh cooked and loads of flavour.

A salt and battery provide great fish and chips at a very reasonable price. The fish is always fresh and delicious and the staff are friendly. A great Fridan night takeaway

Approximate cost: $12

The best fish and chips I've ever had and at a really affordable price as well. When you go to a food place that is so busy you can't get a table you know that they're doing something right. Great service too.
