The crab cake was absolutely delicious. The fish was good; and the coconut shrimps were ok. Overall it’s a good place to have lunch

Being a Brit I know my fish and chips, that said, these are pretty damn good. Chips are spot on, fish just lacks the choice of cod, plaice, haddock etc. However, curry sauce was awful, not much curry flavor and way too sweet.

Their fish and chips are by far the best fish and chips we’ve found in US. We have had many fish and chips in UK and on NY. Their fish is extremely fresh and they give you a large piece of cod fish! We will definitely be back of we are in the neighborhood.

Driving by this restaurant, in search of a good and casual lunch place with the kids, the sign caught our eye and we decided to stop in. The service was quick and the restaurant was clean. We had both the fish and shrimp platters. Everything was made to order, tasted fresh and the coating on the fish and shrimp was excellent. The meal reminded us of the delicious fish and chip lunches we had around England. What a good find. We will definitely stop in again.

Decent fish and chips, although super stingy with the tartar sauce. They didn’t charge me for extras, but you should know 10 ounces of fried fish requires more than 1 shot of tartar sauce. Adorable decorations, although I find the premise weird. As if there’s a major contingent of ex-​pat British setting up shop in coastal Delaware. Would like to go back to try the shepherd’s pie and mashed peas. Anyway, I’m not getting English pub food anywhere else in Delaware, am I now?

It is worth it to give this place a try for an experience. I know that they really try and they did a good job of creating this place; just don’t expect much of the food.

The food here was pretty good. A little over priced for the quantity. I didn’t get a chance to try many things from here but the clam chowder and the fish sandwich where good. Matter of fact the clam chowder was delicious.

It’s a rare to see on the east coast a fish and chips place.
Convenient to beach goers, this little restaurant has a cute little moped out front that just begs you to take a seat on it and grab a selfie or two.
Once you all inside, you place your order at the counter (try the mushy peas), collect your drink at the fountain beside the register, then take your order number to one of the many booths and tables inside.
The place has souvenir t-​shirts, Keychains, and even some European candy to take home. Don’t forget to check out the vintage VW Beetle they had by the door, sadly you can’t get inside it, nor is is available for sale.
The décor is not overwhelming and the place is pretty spotless, considering that it is a «fast good» kind of place, where you throw away your own trash.

Fast service. Best fish and chips I ever tried. Chips are okay. Clam chowder has too many potatoes and portion was small.

Sad when a «fast casual» British food chain can make better fish and chips than many restaurants I have been in! The batter had good flavor and for the price the fish was very large. It is served as one long piece of fish which is a nice change from the traditional fish stick style common in restaurants. It made for a better balance between batter and fish. It was fried perfectly and was not soggy at all. Very impressed. The fries are fresh cut and tasty. Overall the food was really good. We finished our meal with the Sticky Toffee Pudding which was a little small for the price but tasted much better than I expected in a chain environment.
PS: They also have a vegetarian option — a veggie burger. I would not touch it but my wife really liked it! She tends to be a very picky vegetarian!
This is a small local chain that is looking to expand through franchising. If I had the money I would be happy to invest. But until then, please hurry and open one in Harrisburg, PA!

Best Coconut Shrimp ever, ever, EVER. Only five come per order though so that kinda sucks but definitely worth it. The group I was with ordered a little bit of everything… crab cake sandwich, fish and chips, beer battered chicken. All of it was fantastic. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 only because the fish tacos weren’t really tacos per say, more like a fish wrap. So if you’re looking the for the typical fish taco with a Tex Mex theme maybe skip getting it from this place. All you really need is the coconut shrimp anyways lets be honest.

I like to think of myself as a man on a quest to find the best fish and chips! As of 2 weeks ago I would have sworn that the best was not anywhere near Lewes DE. Then it happened, driving to the beach I saw it… Go Brit!!! I had to stop and I must say Go Brit has taken the lead on my quest of perfection. The fish and chips were outstanding, the ambiance was authentic, and the London Pride paired excellent with my deep fried fillet of friend!!! This place is a must try. Additionally, my daughter had the shrimp and they did not disappoint!

The fish and chips as well as chicken salad were great. It’s pretty affordable since where I come from anything fried seafood is hefty for a puny size. As first impressions go, so far so good.

Let’s put it this way, my husband (who is a Brit) looked at me and said, «So… moving to Lewes?» That’s how good this was. The fish and chips were spot on and he was so happy to have Mushy peas (now I am looking on Amazon to find out how to buy them and make them at home). The woman at the counter was very friendly and came to ask where my husband was from (her husband is also a Brit). We were planning on having crabs for dinner but couldn’t pass up the opportunity for proper British eats and Go Brit was definitely a good call !!

Having been to the UK multiple times, I can say that the food here truly resembles that of «British food.» The fish I had was very well done — fried to a light crisp! Go Brit actually serves well fried food, not like that mushy gooey stuff that you get at other restaurants.
Moreover, the restaurant was themed and decorated very well. They owner clearly spared no details, from the Mini sitting in the restaurant, to the way your food is presented.
But where this restaurant looses stars is in service. Despite the cashier telling me that my food would be out in a couple of minutes, I had to wait what felt like 10 minutes for my food. Additionally, I had asked another cashier a question, and she just walked past me while uttering a few words, all without even making eye contact!

Excellent fish and chips. We ate there last night. The lady that took our order was very friendly. They brought the food quickly. It was nice and hot. The salads were cool and crispy. The only negative was the wacky silverware system. You press a button and get a fork. Sounds simple, it’s just weird. They earn and deserve my 5 star rating.

Looking for some great fish and chips? Go Britt is the place to go! The batter in the fish and shrimp looks clunky and heavy, but when you bite into it, it is light and crispy. The portion of fish that you get is huge. In fact my hubby and I often share. The coconut shrimp is good and the sauce they serve with it is sweet AND spicy. The crab cake is 90% crab. The Shepherd’s Pie and the Seafood Stew are both delicious.
We will always come back to this place when we are in town. It’s always a win!

When you order, you get one. huge. amazing. hunk of fish over either a bed of really good fries, or a caesar salad. I got the salad, and really loved both flavors together. it’s worth trying. Owned (I think) by the same people that run the British fish n chips place on Rehoboth Avenue near the Boardwalk, it’s a far cheaper location to operate (nicer too), and the price of the meal is far cheaper here than next to the beach.

I don’t get why people gave such low stars reviews.
Yes it is smaller portions than your average American fried meal but the point is to experience the most iconic British food.
I got a Fish & Chips (I am french and it’s probably the only British speciality I will praise) and I usually don’t eat fried food with as much enthusiasm. This was a «light» fried fish in my opinion, so very enjoyable to me. The fries are home made and it’s not pouring out of my plate, it’s a smaller portion just enough for the European I am. Add some vinegar because it’s the Delawarean tradition and avoid adding ketchup!!! (Please the fries for what they are…)
It is a nice place if you want to avoid the huge crowd downtown Rehoboth Beach or if you don’t want to leave a tip since you order at a counter. Still the service here is good.
I had dessert and they served me after I was done with my fish & chips. It was a Key Lime pie (home made too) and it was a «bloody» killer ;)
