I spent 20 years living near an award winning chip shop in UK, and made it my mission for longer than that to seek out good chippies throughout Britain, so was very excited when this place opened. It is an American take on a British chippie, albeit a very good one. Where in UK do you get pierogies or hot sauce or tacos or chowder in a chippie? The Scotch pie was too large - you would get it half that size in Scotland - and the filling was more like sausage meat than is usual. It was heavy on sage - that's an English favourite, not Scottish. And it came out several minutes before everything else. The chips were plentiful, hot and crispy - too crispy for a British chippie, but I liked them anyway. The fish was hot, fresh and tasty, but the batter was a beer batter (in UK beer batter is used in pubs, not chippies) and a bit greasy. We asked for brown sauce for the chips - an east coast Scotland thing - and they had HP sauce, which is a decent alternative, as well as proper malt vinegar for the chips. So - not good enough for me to make a special trip when I'm wallowing in nostalgia for the homeland, but probably the closest to a proper fish supper (ie fish and chips) I've found here.
