The crispy, golden fish battered to perfection tops the list of favorites among patrons. The generous portion sizes, especially in family packs, deliver great value for the price, making it a hit with large groups and families.
Customers often highlight the beer-battered chips, which provide a satisfying crunch. The diverse menu also accommodates varied taste buds, featuring vegetarian options, classic favorites like hot dogs, and a lengthy list of burgers that keeps diners coming back for more. Friendly and swift service from staff members, like Mason, adds a memorable touch, enhancing the overall experience.
Most Disliked
While many appreciate the fresh offerings, some customers point out that not all the fish options are top-tier. A few reviews mention the need for a higher quality fish option alongside the budget-friendly choices available.
Occasionally, there’s a wait for food, particularly during peak hours. This can be a drawback for those in a hurry. Despite this, the quality of the food often compensates for any delays, yet it's worth bearing in mind during busy dinner times.

We had fantastic service at Rainbow Takeaways with great value for money. We got a range of chips including beer battered (my favourite, very crispy) and Kumara chips which were a hit all around. My hotdog was evenly coated in batter and was not oily.

Wow! The hot dogs are the best from here and the chips were cooked perfectly, fish was good and the doughnut was yum! Although the doughnut was smaller than your average doughnut, I would have bought more if I'd know before hand.
