I LOVE the prawns and their tartar sauce is GREAT! They need to upgrade their fries tho! But until they do, order an extra tartar sauce and dip those fries in it! You'll Thank Me Later!!!

I haven't been to Tugboat in many years, but yesterday, I decided to stop in for lunch after work because fish and chips sounded good. I decided to order extra food for the kids when they get home from school. I ordered the 8 piece fish and 6 piece chicken that came with fries, side order of clams trips and a large coleslaw. There are quite a few tables to sit down to eat, but I opted for takeout. Ordering was quick and the food was ready fast. The lady that took my order was pleasant. I also want to add that they offer crab cakes, potstickers and lumpia as well. As for the food, it is just mediocre to me. They advertise London Style Fish and Chips and I believe them because they are exactly like fish and chips in London, bland and no flavor. Even just a little salt would help, but whatever fish they used had no flavor as well. The fish is not the traditional filet look, but rather long strips much I thought were chicken strips initially. The chicken strips were also bland and could use some salt. I was warned when I went to London to not eat fish and chips because they are bland and had no flavor, well this definitely reminded me of it. The side of fries clams were pretty good, but the portion size was a little lacking. They did give a ton of fries (chips). I ordered a large coleslaw, but I'm pretty sure they gave me the small, but if it is a large, portion size is also lacking a little. As for dipping sauces, they gave plenty of tartar sauce (fish) and ranch dressing (chicken strips), there was a small container of cocktail sauce for the clam strips. I wish they gave some malt vinegar for takeout, but was not included. Again the tartar sauce and ranch was bland, my son even said it was like they diluted them with water. The kids didn't mind the bland taste of the fish and chicken strips and thought they were decent, but my wife and I definitely feel they are lacking seasoning. Unfortunately, it will probably be many years before I come back as I would rather have the fish and chips and chicken strips from Long John Silver or make it myself.

Food was amazing!!! Had the fish, chicken, calamari, and hush puppies. Everything was hot and delicious. Food was made quickly and was ready for pick up. Staff was very friendly and gave up dipping sauces on the side without even asking which I thought was very nice. We did pick up but the inside was very clean. Can't wait to eat here again!!!!

This is the most unseasoned fish I have every ate. This is horrible. Totally waste of money and gas to drive the 10 mins it took. You know what's even worst...I tried to look at order and felt like she was ushering me out the door. They actually gave me 2x as much as I order fish and scallops. I got 2 of those and a order of shrimp. They are decent size but still this food had nothing. Because she rushed me..I was hoping that condiments were on there. But just catch up and target...no hot sauce or malt vinegar. How are they even surviving selling this bland food.

Ask for pricing menu pricing is different in person! Unacceptable and I certainly hope it's worth it!

Very tucked away location, very kind staff and the food itself was very pleasing and appetizing! The interior of the building even itself has a darker vibe which I don't mind at all! Overall very fun location! Will come back

Sitting here and the customer service is pretty sad.They confused my 4 orders with chips instead of rice. She flat out said I was wrong and I ordered only 2 with rice.Then why do I have all fries then? She did not offer to fix their mistake. Or even care that we had no rice.Never coming back here. Food was mid also save your money.
