Loni's Fish and Chips in Ossining

[Erikabee]

Went here for the first time last week and I meant to rave. We both had the regular portion of FnC and it was huge and something like $6.50 each. The order included 3 filets of breaded fish (tilapia-like, not sure what kind of fish) and a lot of fries.

This was a great, easy and cheap dinner - a rare thing in Westchester.

It's located on Highland Avenue heading north from the downtown Ossining.

Has anyone been here lately? I have to be in Ossining tomorrow and was thinking of going for lunch.

Hubby out of town, so southern gal went off to Lonnie's tonight. You couldn't ask for nicer folks serving up good food. It's NOT fluffy English Fish and Chips - it's solid, stick to your ribs fare. I had fish/shrimp/chips combo. All were solid andt a nice option for takeout from time to time. Generous portions, yummy spiced shrimp. Fries suffered from the trip home re: got a bit soggy with all that heat/steam. Had a very tasty piece of sweet potato pie, with a great consistency and wonderful spice ratios. If you're in the neighborhood, give it a try.

So it appears that no one has posted the address -- 172 North Highland Avenue, next to Mavis Tire. And the phone # is 914-432-7260. And it's speled Lonnie's.

I still haven't been there but I will one of these days...

Thanks Mr. Bill !

only take out, or seating?

[budinado]

Wonder what they fry the fish and chips in. Trans fat? Vegetable oil? Any seating?

[tbetz]

The photocopied menu has the "no trans fats" logo on it.

Now that you've asked, yes, it's only take out (there's a chair to sit in while you wait for your order...). Once you get your order, drive down to the waterfront in Ossining or Croton and enjoy the view (that's what I did...)

[yeshana]

is it just take out?

[laylag]

What kind of breading was on the fish Erika? What else do they offer, if anything?

[Nancy C]

I went there about 3 weeks ago myself, when hubby out of town and I could eat whatever. Had shrimp/chips, and it was yummy. Fries a bit bit for my taste, but well cooked. Friendly owner was there, and it's a nice addition to the neighborhood.

> Fries a bit bit for my taste,

A bit what? Were they shoestring, or some other style? Nice and crisp?

[Boswell]

I suspect "a bit big" was meant. Like steak fries. Just an educated guess.

[Nancy C]

Yep, a bit big (sorry for typo - same finger for f and g"). Steak fries/rail road ties... plenty potato! They were fine, I just like more middle sized ones (and crinkle cut, too!). But then again, I was one of those kids that would only eat french cut green beans, not straight cuts. I'm glad they are nearby and wish them well. Nice folks - hope people are willing to go up that goofy driveway at the oddball intersection.

[tbetz]

Well, I had the lunch special combo today, and was disappointed to find that the fries are now shoestring -- no more steak fries. A bit soggy, too. Can we compromise on crinkle-cut?

Liked the spicy shrimp and the fish, will pass in future on the chicken and the cole slaw that tasted like it has marshmallow in it.!

is it only take out?

[Erikabee]

The breading seemed like your standard unseasoned bread crumbs. They also had shrimp and I think there was chicken as well. It was more of a Southern Style fry up than a Old England style batter coating. We had shoestring french fries with our order, by the way. Portions were generous even though I was ravenously pregnant at the time (less room in my belly for food these days....).

[yeshana]

just take out? or is there a place to sit- why the change in FF size? I like the fat, thick one's and it seems like those are hard to find these days.
