Byrnes Fish And Chips - Liverpool

Visited the shop in Stuart Rd today. (The other shop has closed which is no surprise . It was awful. The service was painfully slow with a queue out the door. This queue was not caused by the number of customers but by how slow and inefficient the staff are. Its a tiny pokey little shop located at the junction of 2 grim and dimly lit back streets. Be careful where you park your car. If this is one of the best chippies in Liverpool I would hate to see the worst. Ordered haddock and chips and a portion of plaice only to be told we got no plaice.So I said I'll have cod instead of the plaice. Guy said OK. Some 15 minutes later I got to where you pay only to be told THEN that we have no haddock. Why did the guy not tell me when taking my order that they had no haddock either. They had no salmon, no haddock, no plaice all of which is advertised on the wall . I was gobsmacked to hear this . Its like the pub with no beer but this is the chippy with no fish. The cod we both ended up having instead of what we went for was average as were the chips. I can't recommend this place. I can't understand why it has many good reviews you can't be used to much. Avoid this place at all costs. Its not all its cracked up to be. They need to invest in some quality well spoken staff for a start. My god I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Is it any wonder the other shop cl Very poor effort. I won't be rushing back. Their opening times are ludicrous as well. Avoid for that alone. My earlier review was the Muirhead ave shop. This review is for the Stuart Rd branch. Both have similar service, poor staff, disorganised ordering and average food. It certainly is NOT a good chippy. They don't know what good service is. It starts with having some fish in stock. It's not rocket science to stock what you claim to sell. They are indifferent to wasting people's time by queuing up for twenty minutes only to be told then we don't have what you ordered.

Passing today thought Byrnes stopped pick up little lunch. Never fails to please Smash fish finger chips all made fresh and delicious Amazing staff and again Amazing good Well done. Yo you all amazing

The fish was ok, a little wet although the batter was quite greasy. I did not enjoy the chips, they were chunky, undercooked, soggy, tasteless and went to mush.

Been here many times but just recently something has changed, the chips taste awful. We threw them away two weeks on the run. The fish was still good but the chips were inedible.

Best fish and chips! Always freshly cooked. Love going when we are in Liverpool. Staff are so friendly!
