Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We ordered the Blue Cod which tasted fishy and wasn't pleasant at all, chips were burnt, mussels were like shriveled up raisins. The worst fish n chips I've ever tasted. Way too expensive and so not worth it. Very disappointed and wasn't happy at all.More

I was looking for fish and chips in Wanaka and this was the first result in the search engine. Your search result still lists the ‘Wanaka’ location. I ordered $130 worth of food and went to pick it up only to realize that this location...was closed. I called to cancel my order, but was advised I could not because the food was already prepared and I could not be refunded. I was offered 20% off my next meal! I understand, I should have been more careful before ordering. However, I doubt I’m the first tourist to make this error. I’m disappointed in the customer experience. If you have been closed for 2.5 years, you have had ample time to remove mention of the Wanaka location from search results.More

We were really looking forward to having fish and chips lakeside. We ordered dori and chips and waited, and waited, and waited… well over half an hour even though they didn't seem very busy. Orders seemed to be served randomly rather than in order. Went...lakeside to eat - what a disappointment! The dori was watery and quite tasteless. The chips and batter were very greasy. The fat was probably not hot enough to cook everything quickly and crisply. Will sit in a cafe or restaurant in future. Janette and JohnMore

Adorable setting close to the waterfront with friendly service. Good menu with reasonable prices. I had the Dory meal deal which was perfectly battered and tasted very fresh. The chips were chunky and well-salted. The portions were generous enough that I wasn't able finish everything....It was nice to see options for making things gluten and dairy free. Definitely worth a visit.More

We were over the outrageous high prices in Queenstown restaurants and decided to make the most of the perfect weather and grab some fish and chips from here and watch the world go by near the lake, the wait was a little long due to...the popularity, which gave me time to grab a couple of takeaway beers from the bottle shop, the servings were sensational for us two, the fish was tender, the chips very good and the food wasn’t oily. Whatever the staff are doing, they are doing it well, thank you Erik’s.More

A cute little setting in a quiet street across from the water. Service is great. The food was nice but really nothing special. It tasted like a standard fish and chips shop. The price was a little disappointing, quite high for what it was, especially...a 2.5% surcharge on contactless payments. Overall was ok, but not a place I would be running to again.More

Do you value your time and enjoy food that tastes good? Then avoid Erik’s at all costs! I ordered at 6.07pm (one single meal deal) and received my food at 6.42pm. I understand that fish and chips is difficult to prepare, but 35 minutes is...ridiculous. If the staff told me there would be a wait, or at least updated me, it would have lessened the blow. But then I opened my meal deal. The chips resembled pieces of oily charcoal; flavourless and overcooked, and the fish was just like oven fish but with less flavour. I ate 5 chips under sufferance and then managed to eat 1 out of the 2 fish pieces before tapping out. I put the entire thing in the bin. Literally any place would have been a better use of my $20. Staff were friendly enough, it just seems they are overwhelmed with online orders, Uber eats, and in-person orders. Also the food is terrible.More

I’d boasted to my Australian grandchildren about how good NZ food was, particularly the seafood. I spent a lot of money buying fish, battered oysters and chips. What I got was an expensive abomination of food, most of which ended up in the rubbish. The...hoki was dry. The batter on the costly oysters was floury and inedible. The dishes served with gravy were smothered in something brown and vaguely gravy-ish. NZ, if this is the best you can do you’ve really lost your previously admirable standard of food. Appalling. And embarrassing as a Kiwi. Avoid this place. I feel utterly ripped offMore
