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.

Lovely well presented restaurant but sadly was let down by the portion sizes. Chose the large cod but unfortunately when served was medium at best. I have ordered large cod at other restaurants which generally would be almost twice the size than that at Eltham Grill. That said it was good quality & tasty but please check your sizing

Nine of us attended this here for an evening meal last evening. We were all amazed at the choice the menu offered, and the ambiance of the venue. The staff we extremely helpful and polite, and it was obvious that it was visited many times by locals the way the staff talked to them. I personally was stuck what to choice off the menu as the had most of my favourites on it but went for the swordfish in the end which was wonderful and my wife had Rock which you very rarely see nowadays and was equally as good. There was not a morsel left on any plate on our table which just goes to show good the chefs were, and we all left very happy Like to thank all the staff for a very good evening

Not been back here for years as it isn’t my local but very nicely surprised today with our take away. We had cod and chips and it was really fresh and the batter was crispy and fresh and one of the best I’ve had. The shop was really clean and modern and it was very busy with customers and take away drivers. Lots of staff serving so no long waiting times. Staff were efficient and calm. We will definitely be returning, so nice that it’s worth the journey for a take away or eat in, even though it’s not our most local chippy. I’m quite critical if something isn’t up to scratch but I can honestly say this was one of the best fish & chips I’ve had. Well worth a visit. Highly recommend.

Ordered the sea bass with mixed vegetables and 'baby' potatoes. It was terrible, no chef with any self-respect would have allowed this out of the kitchen. The sea bass was overcooked and unseasoned with a bright yellow sauce with only the vaguest hint of a lemon flavour. There was no attempt to disguise the fact that the mixed vegetables had come out of a frozen packet, they were tasteless and spongey, The 'baby' potatoes were just small potatoes, slightly hard and again totally tasteless. The glass of white wine was of an appallingly low quality, surely the cheapest possible available. It cost £15. I've eaten the sea bass at Azzurros many times (£13.95), theirs is heavenly with fresh vegetables, tasty small tomatoes, garlic/oil sauce and succulent fish, nicely seasoned so, Eltham Grill, you have absolutely no excuse for serving that to a customer. My wife said her fish and chips were 'ok'. If this restaurant can't cook anything other than fish and chips properly they should take the other things off the menu.

Decided off the cuff to try out this hidden gem. Food was absolutely brilliant. We had cod and chips with calamari as a side order. The cod was brilliant, we couldn’t fault it. Chips were immense as well. The only thing I’d say is I would have expected the Calamari portion to be slightly bigger. Service was ok. But if I’m judging based off food. It’s an exceptional place for fish and chips.

This was an early lunch for the four of us plus toddler. All the staff were really helpful and friendly which is great when you've got a little one in tow. Its a pleasant, comfortable and clean place and the food was good. We all had fish and chips of some description, but everything that was coming out looked good. The prices are reasonable given all the increases there have been in the last couple of years ( I noticed a menu in the photos here...its well out of date on prices). We were eating quite early on the Saturday and it was starting to get pretty busy, so it may be an idea to book.

Very dissapointed by the size of cod they called large it wasn't compared with other local outlets. Left waiting at door for table whilst waitress chatted. Tables very close together. service without a smile or any friendly interaction. I last used about ten years ago probably be at least ten years before visit again. very overpriced for what you get, particularly shocked at £1.90 for a pickle onion.

As always the eltham grill never fails to give me the best fish and chips for miles around ! I just can’t eat it from anywhere else.The Newly Decorated interior will just wow you ! But the food remains the massive draw to this restaurant or takeaway! Been coming to the eltham grill since a teenager with my parents when it was owned by the previous owners I’m now 50 my whole family still come here it’s warm welcoming and always fresh cooked food that hasn’t changed from the original days always brilliant ! Fish and chips are the eltham grill but they also cater for those who don’t wish to eat fish. My recommendation are middle of skate. And the pancakes with icecream for dessert Equally good are their burgers and knickerbocker glory.

The restaurant is centrally located off Eltham High Street. The restaurant is extremely clean, covid secure, the food is excellent, and the staff are professional and friendly. It was my first visit with a mate, and we were not disappointed. I had large cod and chips, and my mate had plaice and chips; we were not disappointed. The portions were generous, and the food was hot. I had flapjack with ice cream for desert; it was to die for. I'll certainly be visiting again very soon. Thank you, Eltham Grill, for a great eating experience.

I visited with an elderly friend for lunch and we were not disappointed. We both had cod and chips, which arrived steaming hot. Crispy batter and lovely soft fish. Also, a welcoming feeling to this family run establishment. Highly recommended and we will be back

I've been coming here from when I was a child, my mum was a regular. Place has had a revamp, very comfortable and food always to a high standard. Staff are so so welcoming. They now do live music nights. So if you fancy a meal and a dance to Elvis and other acts you'll be in for a good night!
