Review Sailor Sam - Knysna

Stopped here for a quick bite while touring the Western Cape on my motorcycle. Barely sat down and food was ready. Had calamari and chips. Was very tasty! 100% would recommend.

So delicious! Not halal certified, but they do not serve any alcohol, and have no meat products. Also no alcohol in cooking/ food preparations. Staff are friendly and food was delicious. Hearty old school fish and chips - perfect after a long day exploring Knysna!

A super friendly older man served us and let us choose our own pickle fish so that we could choose the biggest one. The store itself is neat and clean and has lots of jokes etc. Seafood only menu but great experience.

Owner is a fantastic guy. Been going there many years as we take the garden route to durban. Always great to eat there and quality of food always 100's

Fantastic fish and chips. Really good value and tasty! Owner is super friendly and a long time resident in Knysna.

Great service, great food. Great atmosphere 👌 👏 thanks for the lovely experience!!! Will definitely see me again....

Stunning good fish at really respectable prices. We just loved the sole and the hake .... and of course the chips are to die for.

Had the snoek. Lots of bones but was awesome. No meat or alcohol served. Lunch time special of hake, a roll, coleslaw and chips is quite nice. Friendly owner.

Amazing little shop right next to the police station. Came here for a quick takeaway dinner on our first evening in Knysna; owner was super friendly and helpful! Good portion / value for the price

Food was amazing...the most friendliest host with querky stories...if u luv seafood and want a halaal option on the garden route...stop there and enjoy a meal..and a gud story

We enjoyed the food here. The chips were really good. I had the prawn dippers. My husband had calamari, hake and chips. The sweet chilli sauce that came with the dippers were good but I enjoyed the Tar tar sauce that came with my husbands meal more. The owner was really nice and we had a little chat with him which my husband enjoyed.

The seafood was delicious and extremely well priced. Don't let the location fool you as Sailor Sam is a true hidden gem. My boyfriend had the Seafood basket and I had the grilled hake with added prawns. We both had rice and chips. Everything was delicious and well prepared. I will recommend anyone to visit Sailor Sam when in Knysna.

Unlike 34 degrees or fresh line, we could get takeaways from Sailer Sam. Good prices and good food. Highly recommended for a visit to Knysna.

Everything is very delicious!!

The best fish, chips and calamari we've had in a long time. Excellent service. Highly recommend.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and we will go back when we get the chance.

One of the most amazing fish and chips you’ll ever taste. If you visit Knysna having Sailor Sam is an absolute MUST. The only downside is that every time we wanted to go the store was closed. On our last day in Knysna we got super lucky and the owner stayed open at closing just to serve us ! The service is beyond amazing. The owner is one of the kindest and friendliest person I’ve ever met. Thank you for the best fish and chips on earth.

Stopped here by chance to take a call. The place was full and buzzing and decided to return to check it out.<br/><br/>Ordered hake and chips, a seafood basket and 10 oysters and 3 drinks. Total was less than R370 and portions were huge , the kids could not finish theirs.<br/><br/>Fish was fresh and delicious and the oysters were massive in size for R18 each. A bargain. Would have preferred an oyster fork .<br/><br/>Owner was friendly , polite and welcoming.<br/><br/>Worth a visit for good ol fashioned fish and chips.<br/><br/>P.s not fine dining but a a proper sitdown take away complete with wrapping paper.

The place feels homely and the owner is very friendly. Food was absolutely delicious and very very cheap. My family and i enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended.

Went to Sailor Sam on the recommendation of a friend for lunch. The place was chocobloc full so we returned for supper. Fish was fresh, mussels full of flavor and my son loved the oysters. Reasonable prices and friendly owner.

Value for your money...for sure. Not the bests hake and chips I’ve ever had, but still very good. Service is good and the owner seems to have a story or two up his sleeve.

I bought the R75 combo - hake, calamari, 2 × mussels & chips with potato salad extra - absolutely delicious!!! Owner very friendly & helpful. Chatted about the terrible fire & touristy things to do in Knysna!!

Owner is friendly.The battered hake was soggy.There are many other better options available in the area.Dissappointed given the other reviews of this place.

Wow for such a small shop the food is delicious and fresh. We had the mix box (calamari and muscles with half rice and half chips) verrryyy delicious. The taste is just the best

If you looking for cheap fresh fish for takeaway then this is place to go.Had calamari, chips and rice and my friend had seafood basket.Fish was quite tasty and mussels quite fresh,chips were okay and rice bit bland .Owner was quite friendly and even exchanged one sauce for us .There is no sit down plates etc,it comes in takeaway bag with plastic cutlery

Being from Cape Town I know about fish and chips. I won't say I'm an expert but I know my stuff. This is by far the best bang for buck fish and chips. Quality fried and grilled fish with freshly baked chips. A taste of home away from home. Everything freshly made on order
