These clam fritters? *slams fist on table* delicious. It is so good with the tartar too. The lobster roll was more like a 7/10. It was good but I don't think I would go out of my way to try it again. The fries and coleslaw though?so0000 good. Devoured. I would come for those alone. And service was exceptional. The guy taking our order was patient and answered our questions on what he recommends.

OOF. Skippers fell off since I was last there ~2 years back. These may be isolated issues, but I was hit with a few at once. Positives: Service was solid, positive vibes from the employees, great fries, and malt vinegar in abundance, which is always great. Negatives: Price has notably increased, online coupons weren’t functional, and food quality took a real hit. The fish wasn’t properly dried before dredging, so the under-seasoned batter ballooned around the fish rather than sticking to it. This makes for paradoxically dry fish and an exterior missing the crunch that makes for a good fish and chips. The cocktail sauce was SO odd, only a little thicker than water and bafflingly flavorless. Normally cocktail sauce is just ketchup + horseradish, so I can only imagine there was some sort

Haven’t been to Skippers in a while. Stopped by today and ordered fish and chips. The food was good, but the portion size for the price was laughable. I literally had 7 fries on my plate. I said something to the gentleman at the counter and he said that’s the serving size for fries. I pointed out other orders that had more appropriate amounts of fries and he said they’re “different orders” - what?! For the price I paid, I didn’t find the portion size acceptable. Two small pieces of fish is already ridiculous, but barely any fries?? I’m sorry, but that’s incredibly skimpy. I will not be returning to Skippers. So many better options that give you more bang for your buck. $40 for this. My friend’s hot dog had more fries than mine, so I’m confused by the whole “different orders” reasoning. I

It was our first time and I can’t wait to return. We ordered the shrimp tacos, lobster bisque, fish and chips platter (loved the fries), Santorini salad, and lobster rolls. Everything tasted great, the service was quick inside and then we waited for our food which didn’t take too long. When I paid I signed up for their rewards program and it was worth it because I was able to use my points (cash back for buying food) the same day. I went back after I ordered because I forgot to order the lobster rolls. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area.

Nice casual small sea food restaurant. Lots of menu selections. No beer or wine. Appears to be very family friendly. Don't know if they have outdoor seating. Worth going to.
