Quick info
About Cape Cod Ballymena
Cape Cod Ballymena is a fish and chips takeaway on Larne Rd in Ballymena, where the fish is cooked to order. Orders are placed at the counter, and the shop works as takeaway only, with no seating. The fish supper is on the menu alongside fish and chips as the main items. Old-fashioned pasties are on the menu too, for anyone who wants something other than fish. The menu also includes a chicken fillet burger, a standard burger and a steakette. Because each fish is cooked when it is ordered, a short wait is common when the shop is busy.

Customer Review Summary
Fish is the main draw, with reviewers praising cod and fish suppers as fresh, delicious and cooked to order, and a few calling it a great size or the best fish and chips in town. Old-fashioned pasties are described as beautiful and non-greasy, and one reviewer rates the burger very good, though the chips and steakette were only standard. Several call the prices fair for today, and one found the staff pleasant while the shop was busy. Others push back firmly. One calls a fish supper a rip-off because it came with hardly any chips, and says the chips that did arrive were borderline cold. Another found a fish supper bland, soggy and tasteless, called the counter staff miserable looking, and says the shop used to be the go-to chippy. A third reports an incomplete order, was told the missing items had never been ordered, and then learned on asking for a breakdown that they had been charged, with excuses and no apology.

“Burger was very good, chips and steakette were standard. Nice clean place and standard service. Definitely would visit again”
- John McCloy
“Order incomplete and when phoned they denied the missing items were ordered and said we weren't charged for them. When we went to collect the missing items and asked for a detailed breakdown of what we had paid for it transpired that we had been charged! No apology, just excuses and talking over us. Extremely poor”
- Mike Ives
“This is takeaway only, but the best fish & chips in the whole town. All fish is cooked to order & takes about10 minutes on average from order to takeaway.”
