"Enjoyed two meals from Snappers during our stay - Lemon & Kumara Crispy Chicken Burger & Chips Both were standout. Moist fish, delicious batter and kumara was perfectly cooked Chicken burger was delicious! Not sure of all the fillings but they melded into a mouthful of complimentary flavours - loved it! Great crispy on the outside but soft on the inside chips. Friendly helpful staff, great prices, very clean, generous serving sizes and food was non greasy. Only thing i would update - as we are staying in a hotel room, it would have been wonderful to be able to eat in."

"Very reasonable fish and chip shop. Food quality was pretty good, and prices are average. The spring rolls are delicious. I did note however that when I ordered over the phone, the staff member defaulted to crumbed fish without telling me (when the default would normally be battered) which bumped the price up."

"Delicious fish and everything fried you can imagine. Loved the paua fritter, as well as the gurnard and kumara chips. No vegetarian options as they are fried with non vegetarian food."

"Best fish & chips I've eaten for a long time. We ordered crab stick, 3 gurnard, spring roll, 4 potatoes fritters, scoop of chips. The meal was not dripping in fat or greasy. Delicious! The meal was enough for 2 people. Price of meal on reviews is per person. This meal cost roughly $40"

"Fish and chips were good. Excellent Gurnard pieces. Obviously the place is a local favourite. BUT please get someone in to do your gardens. Looked shabby and as the welcome mat to your experience it simply looks terrible...."
