Chippy's Omaha 2718 South 123rd Court, Omaha, NE 68144

"So cute and fun. I think it just opened but was already busy! I can't wait to go back for tea! They have a large selection of packaged food for sale that you can only find in the UK plus some fresh food they make in the kitchen. They also have some kind of high tea where they serve you tea and biscuits because when we were there people were ordering it. My friend got some snacks and said they were all amazing."

"I’m happy this place in Omaha and we are better because of it. I had the pleasure of stopping here for lunch today and I’m so glad I did. To be perfectly honest the fish and chips were probably not something I’d order again. Just personal preference the portion size was fine. I do want to try some desserts when I return. The treats selection was phenomenal though. The lady working the store, Karen, was just a joy to be around and I’m so happy to have met her and shared some conversation with. I was able to pick up some candies for my boys to try when they get out of school. I’ll come back for sure!"

"I was excited to try Chippy's ever since hearing about it a few months ago. An authentic British fish and chips shop, right here in Omaha! My party ordered fish and chips for dine-in, and a steak, bacon, and ale pie with onion gravy and sticky toffee pudding with warm custard to go. The shop was charming and full of various imported British goods, ranging from snack foods to condiments. The boys working the counter were very courteous and helpful. My heart sank as soon as the food came. I could tell immediately that none of it was actually fried and verbally confirmed this with the lady cooking at the time. Everything was air-fried. For those who don't know, an air fryer is literally a convection oven. It neither uses oil nor does it truly fry anything. In addition, the pieces of fish were almost certainly pre-breaded, frozen portions pulled from a big plastic bag. In all fairness, Chippy's does not advertise their fish as fried or hand-breaded, but their site does say “beer-battered”, which I also have doubts about. What arrived at the table immediately reminded me of elementary school lunch, circa 1994. The fish and chips were fully baked, but that’s about the best I can say. The taste of both were on par with a generic brand of breaded fish pieces and potato wedges you’d buy in the freezer aisle of a grocery store and bake at home. The steak, bacon, and ale pie and sticky toffee pudding with custard were both good. They both seemed to be made in-house. The pastry was flakey and everything tasted fresh. The gravy was very good as well. However, the pie was roughly 6”x4”x2” thick and $9.99. For a few dollars less I’d probably recommend it. Perhaps Chippy's shines with breakfast and baked goods like sausage rolls (none of which I’ve tried), but as far as a fish and chips shop; it was abysmal. There isn't a law against it, but I'd say calling yourself a fish and chips shop and serving air-fried, pre-breaded, frozen pieces of fish is a culinary cardinal sin akin to running a steakhouse where it's standard practice to microwave the meat. Chippy's is a locally owned small business and restaurant, which was a major draw for me. Unfortunately, it’s the same reason it pains me to say the experience was so negative."

"I was utterly amazed when I found out this little shop exists. I love British food and culture. What a wonderful variety of items. I haven't been to the UK since 2009 and miss it dearly. Especially the food. You must try the menu items. The sticky toffee pudding is it! The owner is wonderful and super friendly. I highly recommend and will go back every time I'm in town for sure."
