Most Disliked
While Barnacles Fish & Chips has much to celebrate, some guests mention waiting during particularly busy times, especially on weekends at dinner. The popularity can sometimes mean limited seating, making it less ideal for those who prefer a quieter dining experience. A few diners have suggested that the menu can feel overwhelming due to its variety, making it challenging for some to make quick decisions. Others have noted that while the meals are delightful, the prices, although reasonable, might feel slightly higher compared to typical fish and chips shops. These minor critiques don’t overshadow the overall positive experience most enjoy.

Great variety of food options for vegans and if you are gluten Free too. Staff friendly and quick service. Food tasted amazing I had fish less fingers and chips and they were so yummy. My finace had fish and chips and he said they were really good. A bonus was we were allowed to bring our dog in with us witch was a bonus, luckily she is well behaved dog so not a problem. All in all if you are near the area I highly recommend. 10 out of 10 from us, we will definitely come back more and more.

Arrived in Llandudno after a very long drive in search of food, really fancying cod & chips. After searching for places to dine in the area that catered for Gluten Free, found Barnacles restaurant & takeaway. Greeted with a warm welcome on entrance, shown straight to our table with menu's, we placed our order for cod, chips, mushy peas & curry sauce, of which all was Gluten Free, so we were very happy. Our food arrived & we were Not disappointed at all, with all freshly cooked to order, we enjoyed our meal, fully cleaning our plates, not wanting to leave anything. We can not fault this restaurant & it's team, thank you to them all. We returned again 4 days later for Gluten Free battered sausage, chips & curry sauce, yet another enjoyable meal, we can not fault the food or this restaurant. Many Thanks again to all of the team working today who were happy to help.

Probably the best fish and chips I had in Conwy or Llandudno during my visit! Big pieces of fish and relatively speedy service, especially given how busy it was and that there was only one server on staff. The haddock and chips were a good price for what you got too.

Fish suppers were fresh, piping hot and not at all greasy. The restaurant itself was very clean and the staff friendly.
