I love good fried fish and chips and Louise's definitely fills the bill. The service is great and although the shop is a little small, it has a very welcoming feel. The fish and shrimp were excellent, very fresh tasting and not greasy tasting at all, plus the coleslaw is also great. We highly recommend it.

I am not an easy customer. However, this fish and chips place makes the most superb and tender fish and prawns and fries combo I have ever eaten! I ALMOST WENT BACK FOR SECONDS!
Don't miss going here if you are in town.
Family operated.

I was looking in the area for good fish and chips and I stumbled into the best by far, so far! Friendly family owned and operated. More options than just "fish n chips". Prawns, clams, calamari, beer battered rings, zucchini, 'shrooms and more! Mix and match a classic combo number and add a side to make a 3way for under 20 bucks!

Tiny place, and the first time I've visited. As the name suggests, the restaurant specializes in seafood and chips - French fries to some of us. Being an Englishman, I have experience of fish and chips places in England. I can attest to them being hit and miss - over there they cook chips in volume and they often keep the chips hot under a heat lamp waiting for the next customer. That often makes the chips taste limp and unappetizing.
OTOH, Louise's prepares everything after your order is placed. The result? Super fresh and crispy battered fish, the fish melting in the mouth. You can tell right away the fries have just been cooked. Delicious!
There's another Bay area seafood place worth visiting: Cook's in Palo Alto. They've been planning a new location in Pleasanton for ever, but the point is that I'd describe the Cook's product as closest equivalent to Louise's.
On a different topic: I asked the head guy at Louise's what was the fish? He said something about something from Alaska. My request is that they say what it is on the menu - a kind of value-add piece of information. Back to the English fish and chips restaurants: it's usual over there to choose between several fish types in one's fish and chips, and so I just wondered what it was that I was getting.
5 stars!

I love fish and chips. I splurge 2 to 3 times a week. They have the best. Fries are special. Fast and polite service. Reasonable prices and portion size. Clean!

Louise's has been in Livermore for as long as I can remember. Good food at a good price. The owners are so very nice. Go enjoy some good fish and chips.

No Seasoning! Clams with no seasoning were good. Clams are sweet. Fried zucchini with non-seasoned batter is semi-soft hot fried zucchini with a nice crunchy bland crust.
Combo plate.
1 pc fish.nice size, good crunch, tasteful fish but no flavor.
6-8? Prawns.same as above.
Clams.med/lrg to small pcs, more than a handful.same as above. BUT, becuz they were fresh and sweet they owned their own flavor. BRAVO.
Zucchini.already reviewed above.
The staff are friendly and are accommodating so I'll def go bk with specific requests.
I can't find a fish place like this in Tracy.

Seeking recommendations/help in the following in Tracy:

Fried fish, chicken
Greasy cheesy burgers
Authentic Mexican
Mom & Pop diners
. Just some good eats you can't find on Google, thru word of mouth.lol
Thanx in advance!

Want your chips to taste like fish and your fish to taste like chips with a bit of shrimp flavor from whatever was in the fryer last? You can't ask to order fish and chips this good anywhere - the restaurant just has to know what it's doing. Service is fast, and you know it's good if Cal Trans truck fleets show up for lunch.

A nice little local place that does a good job cooking deep fried seafood and fries. It's not something I have in my diet on a regular basis, but when I splurge and eat fried food I want it tasty and fresh. That's exactly what I get here. Their prices are fair for what you get too.

I am a long time resident of Livermore and Have been enjoying Louise's for over 25 years.
It has changed hand a few times since it was started and I was glad to see they didn't change the food. It has always been good.
How ever I went last night and was very disappointed with the size of the fish now, they have a lot thinner pieces that are almost like eating fish sticks and don't have as much of the nice flaky fish meat that it used to have.
I hope if other customers that have noticed this express their concerns.

Louise's is the epitome of comfort food; they're probably the only restaurant in this area that does truly glutinous, delicious deeply fried fish and chips - and I love it! It's so heavy, but so good at the same time. And it's not just fish - they apply the same fantastic fry to shrimp, oysters, calamari, mushrooms, etc. It's very similar to what you would get at an H. Salt Fish & Chips. Their pricing is competitive - for example, I easily feed a family of four on combo pack alone ($40 for 6 fish, 16 shrimp, and fries).

I typically order over the phone for in-store pickup, and the turnaround time for this is quick - most of my orders seem to be ready within 15 minutes of placing. The restaurant itself is clean - the owner and his staff remain masked at all times, and work behind plastic barriers when prepping the food. The staff is also very pleasant and inviting.

We have been getting fish and chips from Louise’s for at least 30 years. However, today was the first time in about 3 years and we were very disappointed! Everything was sooo much more greasy than before. I couldn’t finish my order.
