We’ve been enjoying Tugboats for decades & it was a delight to come home after 7 years to find them still open & awesome as ever. We ordered a 2 strip fish & chips, plus a fish & clams basket. Weather is absolutely gorgeous right now so sitting outside in the tiny ocean themed cabana felt like heaven. First bite into the onion rings on top made the better half giggle. They are the lightest, crispiest, most perfect ring. Oil isn’t overused, nothing too dark, fish was perfect as always.

Everything we ordered here was delicious. The shrimp basket was so good, the batter used for frying is really crunchy. They gave us some fried banana as a treat and I will definitely order that too next time!

It was such a nice lunch we had! The place looks like a tugboat would. Owners/operators are super friendly. Food was fire! I’ll be going back when the craving strikes.

Today was my first time here and the fish & chips were not only perfect, I especially appreciated how friendly and prompt the service was (I ordered to-go and the total wait time was only 15-20 minutes).

I’ve been to several of the Tugboat locations and this one has the nicest staff. We went for lunch, the food came out fast, hot and delicious. I got the 3 piece fish and it was more food than I expected. We ate outside in a area that was set up with covered picnic benches. It was a bit noisy from the traffic on Fair Oaks but nothing terrible. I’ve driven by this location so many times and missed seeing it, but now it’s a place I’d happily eat at again.

Very reasonably priced fish and chips: for what I paid, I got plenty. Fish was tender and moist. Clams were a bit tough and dry, and I could not taste the actual clams. The best and freshest were the veggie fries with mushrooms, carrots, onions, and zucchinis. The dining areas could use some investment by updating the furniture and decor, or at least some new paint. The service was friendly and fairly quick.
