“ I have been stopping at the Big Scoop since I was a wee tot. I was in the Valley for the weekend and decided to grab lunch. They had a 20.99 fish and clams special. The food was as good as fish and clams gets. Everything was cooked to perfection. Actually one of the best pieces of fish I have ever had. ”
“ We had a nice family meal here today. Despite it being very busy, we were seated right away and didn't wait very long for our food. I thought the food was really good. Super fresh. The portions were a good size (see fish burger photo). Our server was very friendly. We'd eat here again. ”
“ We went on Wing Night, a pretty busy night, and still got served very quickly. Andrea was great. A little confusion with the Cajun Charred Chicken Burger that I ordered. I received the Super Pickle Chicken Burger instead. Andrea was very apologetic but, no big deal it was very good! The wife's Thai Mandarin Salad as very tasty too. Service was great, very speedy, great food. We'll be back. Thank you (Feb. 12 visit) ”
“ Great fish and chips, the batter is crispy and light , and the pieces are huge. I hear the clams are even better. I look forward to trying the clams next time . Our service was pretty good , although she was working pretty hard at a big family birthday party table. ”

“ Delicious diner/comfort food, and the portions are generous for the price. Everything was brought out hot and fresh and so delicious. The potato skins are a great starter, and the coating and seasoning on the haddie bits is just right. Two first-time diners, soon to become regulars. :) ”
