Review from Ken H.

Walking in the door, I was somewhat confused as to what to do - there are dining rooms to the right and left, and a counter in the middle, but no real instructions for the first-timer. Eventually, someone told me it was a seat-yourself place. Service was OK once I found a seat
I came here looking to try cod tongue, but alas, they were out. Having missed out on cod tongue, I decided to order the steamed mussels appetizer, and it was quite nice. The portion size was huge and more than enough for a lunch. The mussels were steamed in a broth with a lot of garlic, and served with melted butter. It went well with a Quidi Vidi Iceberg Beer. -

This place becomes worse value with each passing year. Nice staff, but very high prices for fish and chips. And despite their location in the land of cod, the fish that they use often seems to be frozen!

Ches' is better than the Big R, but it's not as good as Leo's.
The onion rings are quite good here.… Read more »

We really enjoyed our experience here. The service was excellent. Very personal as it always seems in this town. It's a charming place, and yes they do give you a certificate for eating there if you're from out of town.
I can't get over the chips in St. Johns though. It seems like they fry french fries repeatedly until they're all duds. Other than that, we adored Ches's. It's definitely something you should experience if you're from the states. -

It's the real deal in terms of Nefoundland fish 'n' chips. I just did love it.

This is pretty much the default fish 'n' chips joint for visitors to Newfoundland. The only competing institution is Big R, and I found their fry to be darker and greasier (though tasty).
Ches's does fish 'n' chips right, and also offers scallops and chicken in the same fry for the less fish-inclined. For aficionados or tourists, they also offer fried cod tongues, and thoughtfully provide you with a certificate if you're a tourist who tries them. Do so, the texture is a bit gelatinous but the flavour is just fine, and it's an experience.
Overall, neat little place to try a local specialty. Not too far a walk from downtown, and has some required eating to accomplish. Nothing fancy, but I took a Colombian-Canadian girl from Toronto up there and managed to make a good impression, so that just adds to my enthusiastic recommendation.
