Restaurant 55 in Scarborough

We been in Scarborough for first time last October and it was nice and sunny day - as all staff in 55 CAFE!!! We been served by very kind guy ( sorry forgot his name). All food traditional but fish was sooooo tasty!! Definitely will visit again!!!

Superb food. Professional and helpful friendly staff. Had to knock a star off for the owner berating the staff for the reduced takings due to cutting tables for covid in front of paying customers. Very awkward.

Lovely bright and airy cafe, reasonable decor and fantastic views. Clean enough aside from dried mushy peas on the salt pot and we were one of the first customers that day. Waitresses polite, came quick to take order. Had what was supposed to be Haddock, but it was absolutely tasteless, greasy, as were the chips and mushy peas also tasteless. Daughter's battered halloumi was tasty and nice. Waited quite a while for our plates to be taken so we could ask for the bill. In the end my husband went and paid at the till. Several hours later my stomach felt awful due to the grease/fat that the food had been cooked in. Won't be going again I'm afraid.

Came here for lunch.... very well organised, friendly staff and lovely view from the table. Had the mussels for lunch which were some of the best I'd had in a long time, perfectly cooked. The lobster pot was also really good and the other half had a crispy chicken and bacon sandwich which he thought was delicious. Would definately eat here again.

We were looking somewhere for lunch and came across Cafe 55. Once inside I had a look at the reviews and almost put off by the 1 star reviews but ordered food. When it arrived was pleased with my gammon and eggs, tasty and good value.

Love this place! Yummy food, sea view, clean, comfy seating.

Great value food, friendly service and a superb view (see photo) mean that it's five stars from us!

Lunch today. Not overly busy but the service was extremely slow. Plenty of staff standing around but no food coming out from the kitchen. When we did get it, it was nicely cooked but the fish and batter were tasteless - so the meal was very disappointing. It was well priced though.The tea pot for 2 only came with 1 teabag! I did ask for and was given a second bag which helped but it was still quite weak.On a positive note, allowing dogs in the foyer area is helpful .Although they state award winning I am confident that Scarborough can offer better tasting fish and chips.

Called in here whie in Scarborough. Beautiful view of the coast and the front. Nice selection on the menu not just fish. We ordered the fish though, 55 special, fish, chips, mushy peas, and bread and butter. We ordered tea seperate. We was given our b&b straight away which by the time we got our food had gone hard at the edges but brought us some fresh when we asked. The fish was beautiful flaky and crispy. But they was not fish shop chips but like home style oven steak chips? But... they was very nice. Also curry sauce was very watery. But we would go back again.

We had a nice quiet lunch here on good Friday, which was great after the bustle of the beachfront. The specials were still on, despite it being a bank holiday, which was a pleasant suprise. We got the 55 special and a kids meal. The food arrived promptly and was a nice portion size for lunch, the staff were lovely and the view was good.
