Fish & Chix Information

Tucked along North Central Avenue in Umatilla, Fish & Chix feels like one of those easygoing local spots you stumble into once and then keep coming back to. Located at Fish & Chix, it has that unpretentious charm that fits right in with the small-town surroundings, where the focus is clearly on hearty portions and familiar flavors rather than anything overly flashy.

The menu leans heavily into classic comfort food, with fried fish and chicken taking center stage. On a recent visit, the fried catfish stood out immediately-crispy on the outside without being greasy, and tender inside with that mild, slightly sweet flavor you hope for. The fried chicken, on the other hand, had a golden crust that crackled with each bite, seasoned just enough to keep things interesting without overpowering the meat. Sides like coleslaw, fries, and hush puppies round things out, and while they’re simple, they do exactly what they’re supposed to do-complement the main dishes without stealing the spotlight.

The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, more diner than upscale restaurant, with a steady stream of locals coming in and out. It’s the kind of place where conversations carry across tables and the staff greet regulars by name. Service feels genuine rather than scripted; during my visit, the staff checked in just enough to be attentive without hovering, and food came out quickly even during a busier lunch hour.

From what I’ve seen in other reviews and heard from locals, consistency seems to be a big part of Fish & Chix’s appeal. People know what they’re getting, and that reliability matters, especially in a smaller community where word travels fast. While the menu isn’t extensive, it covers the essentials well, and that focus helps maintain quality across the board.

The location itself is easy to find, right in the heart of Umatilla, making it a convenient stop whether you’re passing through or live nearby. Parking is straightforward, and the laid-back vibe means you don’t have to plan ahead or dress up-just show up hungry.

There’s not a lot of publicly available background on the restaurant’s history or ownership, but sometimes that adds to the appeal. It feels like a place defined more by its food and its regulars than by any big story, and that authenticity comes through in the experience.

What People's Say About Place

This place is very clean and the food is really good. A new place to get chicken livers in Flagler County! All they need is to add biscuits to the menu (and maybe have to-go sauce packets) overall 10/10 would recommend.

FINALLY Palm Coast/Flagler County has a good fried Chicken restaurant. I have been looking for good Fried Chix in Flagler for almost 3 yrs. Had to drive way down to Ormond to get good fried chix. Now we have a good place nearby. I had a breast & thigh with phenomenal southern style green beans and Mac n cheese. Chicken was juicy and tender. Fried to perfection. Green beans were phenomenal with a Smokey bacon flavor. Mac n cheese was ok. Place was closing but they were kind enough to cook my order. This was close to 7:30pm. The young lady that took my order was super friendly and helpful with what too order. I’m a chef that owned a chicken joint in NYC. This is a welcome addition to Flagler County

My husband picked up an order of their Philly Cheesesteak dinner with fries and it was absolutely THE BEST Philly Cheesesteak I’ve ever had here in Florida! The steak was tender & flavorful, the peppers & onions were fresh & cooked perfectly and it had the perfect amount of melted cheese…all on a perfectly toasted soft roll. The fries were just right! It was AHHH-MAZING!!! We will definitely be back!!!

We ordered delivery from the Umatilla location and oh my goodness what a great place to get some super huge tender chicken breasts!! And my 3 chicken tenders were equally large.. pretty much the same amount of meat as the 2 breasts minus the bones.. The sweet tea was on point The slaw was PERFECT The baked beans were really good and the potatoes and gravy were good.. would have been better (to us) if it was brown gravy over the yellow. But overall... An excellent choice for dinner. Well done y'all!

What can I say other than this food is the bomb! Tasty, reasonable prices, great service and did I say tasty? Sheeesh I'm dying here!

I love to stop here when I'm in the area.. local favorite! Great variety on menu and very well priced for amount of food you get!

It is the first time I come to this restaurant and I was impressed, the way they served you; very friendly and humble they serve you the best they make you feel special.and the food is delicious , I give them 7 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Hubby and I are never disappointed at this little diner. We love the idea that they back the men and women in Blue and all our armed forces too. The staff is very personable and go out of their way to please.
