Reviews of Port Albert General Store
P.
The owner is very charismatic. Gr8 for a yarn and has the odd poem to tell. The fish and chips are well portioned and fresh.
A.
Walking into the premises was like coming home after a long journey, welcoming, friendly and relaxing.
The lovely friendly staff cooked up the best fish n chips I have ever had!
As they went the extra mile to cook my fish to perfection.
Also they make great coffee.
Definitely coming back for more!
E.
Super quick and easy service and AMAZING fish and chips! As good as ever, would highly recommend.
B.
Wow what a nice place, lovely staff, and the best fish and chips... a must stop
F.
Sunday drive for fish & chips, haven't been for awhile and they certainly didn't disappoint. Great customer service, and the servings were generous, not greasy and very very tasty far better than anything we have had up here in a very long time. Coffee was very good too apparently.
L.
Ordered the seafood selection $21 although they had run out of oysters substituted mushroom & bacon puffs. Everything was delicious! Beautiful fresh fish, yummy squid, crabstick, chips everything cooked to perfection
b.
Absolutely the best fish and chips! They are so nice too. We turned up with our kids and grandchildren and left with lots of free extras food on top of what we payed for. Thank you guys. 😃
R.
Great fish & chips. It doesn't take them long but we phoned ahead to save time. Nice to take it down to the Port Albert jetty reserve and eat while watching the water etc.
D.
This is a very nice store! We were recommended the fish n chips and they did not disappoint. Chips were crunchy and hot and tossed in lemon pepper, which was delicious! Fish was crunchy on outside and moist on the inside. The staff were very friendly and the interior of the shop is very clean and nice. Pricing is very fair as well. I will definitely be returning here!
F.
What a great find! Lovely drive from Wellsford. Fish peices are big, delicious, incl chips.
Like seeing how the locals support this business, a really nice community spirit. Well done Kath and team. Nice memories of another great New Zealand spot, beore returning to Australia.
A.
Nice fish and chips but unsure if it's the best. No lemons is really a downside for me. Other than that, have enjoyed the share-worthy historical pieces inside the shop.
J.
The Original owners that set up the Port Albert General Store have moved on...
The new Owners have now taken over and the familiar staff are still there serving you the best fish and chips on the Kaipara and a smile. 😀 yum...
Still my favourite ‘outback’ coffee stop. 👍
D.
Cozy and friendly place with one of the best tasting fish and chips! Remember to stop by as the fish and chips are well portioned and value for money!
G.
If you want great food and coffee including just the best fish and chips in the country then this is the place you want to be, really friendly people, such a great atmosphere.
T.
Best Fish and chips we have ever tasted. Battered or pan fried. You cannot visit New Zealand without coming here. Excellent service. Ambience awesome
M.
Great fish and chips 🍟 never had such a huge piece of fish before, absolutely lovely, great relaxed atmosphere, scenery absolutely beautiful
D.
A useful and historic store in Port Albert. Inside the store you will find a notice board with some of the history of the store. It has been owned by the same family for three generations. Port Albert was originally an important shipping Port for Kauri wood and spars for sailing ships. The General Store opened to serve this market and has changed with the changes in the area. These days it serves the local farming community, a small local population and Summer tourists. They make a great cup of coffee!
T.
great location. tasty fish. pretty good amount of chips.
G.
Always a lovely meal here and in a beautiful location..Generous with the snapper and chips.
A.
Possibly the best hot chips anywhere. Love the way they serve the fish and chips. If you are near Port Albert you should visit and enjoy.
A.
Lots of excellent reviews of the fish and chips. Also a top quality burger!
P.
Lovely fish, but only battered.
No crumb, but Lovely staff. Recommended 👍
C.
Fish and chips are the best however are a bit pricy but worth it
L.
A friend told us about this place, so we took her there. Lovely setting, the staff were very friendly. We ordered our oysters, fish and chips, when they were delivered the lady brought 3 plates and the food was wrapped in paper and placed in the centre of the table; quite a novel way of serving! I think it added to the ambience of the countryside. Loved it
A.
Delicious fish and chips. They use Rush Coffee the locally roasted Australasian award winners. Friendly owner and staff. Small but interesting range of produce for sale too.
A.
Friendly place. Food limited but local and good value. Sadly has no alcohol license
R.
Great food lovely service will be back soon
a.
fresh fish batter excellent an crispy chips wow staff great well worth the drive for lunch .
H.
Absolutely loved this place. Beautiful fresh fish and chips. No oil fatty after taste at all. Couldn't believe it. This has never happened to me after eating fried food. Clean beautiful shop. Lovely helpful workers. We will definitely leave the beaten track to go back here.
N.
Very slow today sadly. Young staff and couldn't keep up with the amount of customers. Nice fish and chips - eventually. We'll be back because haven't experienced it being that slow before so think it must have just been an off day.
L.
Best fish and chips and oysters. Fresh as. We love it. Friendly service
D.
Very clean, nicely set out. Limited choice from board for selecting your takeaway food, but that makes it easier to choose. Has a cold cabinet with good varieties to choose from. Cakes and slices, coffees, drinks and a small area with a small selection of supermarket items and pet foods. Area inside and out door to sit and eat. Prices are a little high; ie fish n chips $11, but tasty and a good sized. Over all a nice place to go sit grab a quiet bite and chill.
D.
New owner's and locals from our area..really nice place. Worth checking out. Lovely sitting area and Port Albert just down the road if you want to take your fish and chips to the port you can or sit at the tables out side the store..and enjoy the service!
C.
Very nice & friendly girls serving, great fish n chips 😁
A.
Good coffee and service. Other guests seemed to be enjoying their fish n chips.
G.
Excellent fish chips n burgers. Super friendly staff too. First time I've been in this part of the country. Worth it just for the takeaways!
L.
A quaint and beautifully designed Cafe with a nod to the past. Great coffee and tasty food.
A.
Huge large fish and chips, nice little place and cosy shop to visit.
J.
The best fish and chip this side of auckland great coffee very clean .Was nice to sit in the sun and enjoy our fish (snapper ) for lunch We will go back for a taste of the baked goods
C.
alright, I'll start with this. The food was so good that I would say it's the best fish and chip shop I've ever been to in my entire life. the portions are enormous and they are priced very very reasonably. We had 3 meals, 2 fish and chips and a burger and chips with 3 drinks, all this came to about $45 the amount of food is a lot.
The staff were really friendly and to be honest even if they were horrible to us, I would just go back for the food anyway, because it's that good. Place is kid friendly has an indoors and outdoors area, they have dog drinking bowls etc and a small shop inside.
I will be making the 1 hour drive from auckland as many times as I can to visit this place again.
J.
Always love a local cafe like this :)
M.
Great coffee. Friendly fast service. Recommend the Fisn n chips.
B.
Nice place, friendly. Modern take on general store, cafe feel. Port Albert is definitely a destination.
L.
Unexpected gem in port Albert best fish and chips ever. Unbelievable, 2 large chips and enormous pieces of fish all for $22 .
Warmly recommend
B.
Without a doubt the very best fish and chips my wife and I have ever tasted. And very reasonably priced. This is a little way off the main road, but you will not regret taking the 10min drive from Wellsford to experience the warm and welcoming staff and exceptional fish and chips.
J.
This is a general store for hot and cold food.fish n chips are excellent. Good selection of smoked fish in fridge staff are wonderful. Cleanliness is superb.worth a visit to port albert .
S.
We went for fish and chips today. We did not have any power as Vector were doing work in the area. Once again I have to say that the fish and chips were excellent. The fish was fresh flounder. Two fillets of flounder and chips for $10 per person. Very nice staff and friendly environment. ☺
N.
Best battered fish we have had. Thank you!
R.
Soooo good. Amazing crispy snapper and chips
M.
Port Albert store, staff, situation and food are ALL amazing. We have just returned home after lunching there with our large cycling group. The outside tables accommodate our group perfectly and indoors is lovely in cooler weather. Recommend the "flounder & chips". A great place to stop and meet no matter how big or small a group.
E.
Excellent, friendly staff and owner came and chatted to us, making us feel really welcome. Beautiful meal. Huge fish portion. Would definitely come again. It's worth the trip
a.
The best snapper I have eaten. Port Albert may be off the beaten track but we will detour again.
B.
Heading for an evening in Port Albert, my girlfriend and I passed by the general store and came to a halt moments after - deciding that the patio area looked nice and we could go for a coffee. We went in and were (obviously) allured to the $10 fish and chips deal and decided we would split one. We ended up upgrading to the local catch Flounder and we super surprised with how good it was. The batter was fairly thick and crispy and the fish was perfectly cooked.
The cashier was also very friendly and we were visited by the store pet mid-meal; so bonus points for the cute shih tzu.
We went in for a coffee and left after eating some of the best fish and chips we've had in New Zealand! Definitely recommended.
S.
The best fish & chips I have EVER had! Highly recommend the flounder and oysters. Simply amazing food, great quality and such lovely customer service every single time. Worth the visit!
P.
Gorgeous fish and chips!! One of the best I have tasted, chips were awesome as well and service was super fast!
Would recommend it any day 😀
T.
Enjoyed the Fish & Chips ordered and great service. Good stop for a bite to eat after long drive.
S.
Love love love this place. So nice to have it open again after do many years closed. Today I got to introduce my grandies to the Store.
Nothing was a problem to the team despite how active they were inside.
The fish n chips are out of this world, hearty appetites couldn't finish them all. Everything in the cabinet looks lovely and fresh.
Tge store has everything from milk, butter, bread, nappies, dog food, chutneys, spices, rice, lollies, potato chips, a wide variety of non alcoholic beverages, ice blocks and ice creams.
A real treasure for our small community, saving the long drive into Wellsford or Warkworth when you just need a few things to top up.
Thank you for the amazing service!
M.
The best fish and chips that I tried in NZ!!! 😁 Also so lovely the girls in the shop. Definitly, I recommend.
J.
A gem of a place where you can buy anything from organic veges to engine oil but the real treat here is the ultra fresh fish 'n chips and oysters - served in paper, eat in or takeaway. Great stop on your next road trip north!
P.
Neat friendly, great out of the way destination for fish and chip lunch on Sunday
D.
My neighbor challenged me to eat here and labelled it as the best fish and chips place in the area.
He was so right.
Super friendly, super fresh, super fair prices.
Thank you
m.
Great for when you have run out of supplies...and a lovely sitting area outside.... but not only that....Lovely service n smiles...They make such beautiful large pieces of battered fish and delicious golden chips....you definitely get top quality for your money....👌😁
