Service was great! I usually have their breakfast deal. But when I finally had their fish and chips man my mind was blown!! Best fish and chips in town IMO
Not as good as usual and we found No Tartar Sauce in our order when we got Home to Paris.
Great Food Excellent Service
Pricey
Great service. Waitresses all very friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely delicious !!!
Really good
Delicious seafood with great service!
Ordered takeout from skipthedishes and was pleasantly surprised by the halibut and chips. The portion was enough for two meals and the halibut was delicately fried with a thin layer of batter with the fish still moist and perfectly flaked inside. The fries were thickly cut, well seasoned, and lightly browned. My photos show roughly half a portion of halibut and chips. I will definitely order from here again!
Fast, friendly service! I ordered the Sunday special, very generous portions. I enjoyed the food as much as the price. I'll be coming back when I'm in the area.
Just ordered fish and chips, one piece of fish was cold and dry like sawdust, the other dripping in grease This order was over $40 and it was not edible.. will not go again.. never know what you are going to get Not consistent..
Huge portion of fish, lots of fries and the salad was a great size too. $19.99 for a piece of halibut(would guess 8-10oz.), chips and cesear salad. I personally found the portions to be larger then other restaurants in the area and I think the cost is fair for the amount of food. I'm very happy with the quality and taste of the food as well as the fair prices.The halibut was perfectly cooked, wasn't oily and tasted light and lovely. I wil be coming back with the family! Edit: we went a second time and ordered the takeaway deal 2 halibut with 1 fry and the portions were even bigger, the fries and batter still manage to be crispy when we get home. Big fan. Will be back often!
Fish was okay. Fries were great.
I have always enjoyed the good fish and chips at halibut house. This time, sadly my take out was packed sideways. That's fine when all is just fish and chips but I ordered poutine. I realised when I got to the car that the items were not packed flat but sideways. I layed it on the floor but too late. All the gravy had run out and was in the bag, all over the fish package and almost none on the fries. Just the absorbed stuff. And they put paper on the bottom of the poutine so after eating some, my fork came up with what looked like melted wax goo. Bummer as it's not cheap eating here. And they forgot my coleslaw. 22 bucks for one piece of fish and this mess in the picture.
Service was great portions were smaller than oshawa store..
We were regular customers since it opened had the special tonight fish was like cardboard tasteless and freezer burnt like it was pre prepped and re heated. The service is always excellent and the fries were delish but the fish was a disappointment
Best fish & chips that I’ve had in KW.
Wonderful and organized service plus fish and chips were very good!
There Special, was absolutely mouthwatering, enjoyed it immensely! Sunday & Monday is Halbit, chips & coleslaw. Wednesday is Cod, chips & coleslaw. Both are under ten dallors, great deal! The service is quick, meal was hot & they are friendly!! Enjoy!!
Great Food and great Service. Thank you.
Really enjoyed. Great fish. The waitress was awesome!!
Great value and service
Amazing fish! The Girl who attended us was really nice and did a great service!
Just finished an order of haddock & chips. Best fish and chips I've had since moving to Canada from England in 2006.
I wasn't born when fish and chips were invented, but I am quite positive this is how they were supposed to be done.
Best deal in town for yummy fish and chips
Had halibut. Big portions.
Great portion sizes, delicious fish and crispy chips. Definitely a go to location for fish and chips.
Amazing fish and chips and a great breakfast menu. Perfect spot for any time of day
Very good on a good day. Probably the closest to real fish and chips coming from a Brit. Had a couple of over cooked fish
Good food
THEY have a less expensive lunch menu.
Food was great the portion sizes were large however the washroom and the restaurant looked like he wasn't cleaned in a couple days.
Nice food and service. Will come back for sure.
If you like fish and chips, this is the place. Staff are super friendly, food is quick and well prepared
Awesome fish & chips place. ????
Good food and service. Fair prices.
Good service. Great staff. Foods okay. Portions are often small.
Food tasted great and fresh, the restaurant is very clean. It's an open kitchen and you can see how clean it is kept! The server was very nice as well.
Lovely, clean, cozy restaurant that makes crispy, delicious fish and chips. We had the Monday lunch special of haddock and chips (I had salad instead of the fries). Light batter, good sized pirtion and prompt friendly service too. Highly recommended this place!
Good fish and chips and good breakfast.
Good food ,reasonably priced, lots of fries
Amazing food fast service
Hard to find a good fish and chip place, got the Halibut and chips and definitely the best I’ve had in a very long time will definitely be back again, Service was amazing and the staff was friendly even helped me out to the car with my order, Definitely try these guys out
I ordered take out. The service was excellent. The halibut is always good and very fresh.
Very reasonablly priced and the fish was great. Almost cold by the time we got it home but that's the cost of take out. They forget the coleslaw though!! Wasn't going back since its across town.
Great fish dinner...friendly staff..great place to eat
My favourite fish and chips place in all of Burlington. And the biggest reason is the staff. They are incredibly friendly and helpful. The fish is also really well prepared, and hand battered and fried. Love the mushrooms as a starter too.
Good food and friendly service.
Great food great and great portions really enjoyed the atmosphere.
Very clean facilities, although when I went it was closed to dine in patrons, because of Covid restrictions. Ordering was easy and prompt, staff were very friendly. This meal was for my father, who is quite fond and particular when it comes to fish and chips, but he absolutely loved it! I'll be going there again!
We have been loyal customers since opening never had a bad meal until tonight. Fries were overcooked and the fish was like rubber.. quality should be better at a time like this..
Great fish and chips staff are great. It's definitely not cheap.
Great fish and chips! Portions are a good size
Friendly service. Great price.
Just opened 6 months ago. What a wonderful little joint. The lunch menu is very cheap ($7.99) and the food was sizeable and up to par. What really impressed me was our waitress. Constantly checking up on us to make sure we were ok, smiling and sparking great convos. We will definitely return.
Went on a Sunday for the 9.99 special. The fish and chips were delicious!
Amazing place. Love it
Friendly staff and nice place
Went for lunch with a friend. Service was friendly and quick. Food was surprisingly very good - not too greasy. We both had the fish and chips and were happy. The place is clean and seems vaguely modern. Over all it was a positive experience. For a small place in the middle of a strip plaza I was impressed by both the service and food :)
Good service and big portions.
Me & a buddy of mine go here at least 1-2 a week. We love the breakfast at least once a week & Fish & chips once every 2 weeks. The Food is excellent & the waitresses are the best. Leslie, Patty, & Tricia are so friendly.and courteous. The cook Mica is also the best. I would highly recommend this resturant.
Always a great experience. Grest food!
Great fish and chips ????
Tried Halibut House for the first time. Ordered the $10 Monday special with an extra piece of fish. Guess what? An extra piece is $10 too! So I asked for fries as I was paying for them anyway. What a mistake. As you can see from the picture the fries are definitely not golden brown. The were so undercooked they were inedible. I called the store to provide feedback, but the phone goes straight to voicemail and you can’t leave a message. On the bright side the fish was flavourful but undercooked. I do not recommend Halibut House. Undercooked food and they don’t answer the phone. Buy from a competitor who does it right and has a process to take customer feedback.
fast and quick service. The food is excellent. We love the cod and chips.
The way they pack the fishes interesting
Not bad
We loved this place but quality has really dropped the last time 2 times we went there. Very greasy...over cooked...very little and thin chewy fish.. Mostly thinck oily batter..couldn't even eat it all... We always order one order of onion rings as a substitute to one fries.. Again, very little onion in the rings last time..The fries seemed rubbery.. We love our fish and chips and even gave them a 2nd chance but we wont be going here anymore... Will try the one up near Dundas instead We did call to voice our concerns but they didn't seem to care at all.."Oh...I talk to chef, bye bye?" Yeah...Bye bye.. we will take our business elsewhere...
Amazing fish. Great service.
Busy family restaurant.
Awesome fish n chips in the KW area
Great food, great prices, clean. Staff are lovely! Portion sizes are great!
Hi there, my mother and I were disappointed with our fish and chip take out order this time, "Sorry" but our square piece of fish was rock hard on all 4 edges and the fish was tough and chewy. We had to cut that off and throw in the green bin. There was a few good fries and the rest we tossed out, the ends were just too hard.
OMG!! This place is AMAZING!! ???? We aren't from around here, we were here just for a mini vacation. Husband and I really wanted some great fish and chips. I looked on here and this place had amazing reviews!! I can definitely see why!! The customer service is amazing, and the food is soooooo good!! Better then a fish and chip place we usually go to back home. I highly recommend this awesome fish and chip place!! (Oh and we got take out and brought it back to our hotel and it was still HOT!! Amazing!!)
Great breakfast !!
Prices ripe off
Delicious crispy battered fish of your choice with awesome fries or onion rings. Servers were excellent.
We ordered 2 halibut dinners, one with fries and one with onion rings. The fish was overcooked and the onion rings were almost burnt while the fries could have been cooked more. They looked to be a bit busy at the time so I will try a second time hoping for better results.
Of coarse the Fish n Chips are fantastic. They are also open for breakfast were I enjoyed great Bacon n Eggs, Toast n Coffee.
Love this place! It has become a regular place for my family. Portions are good. Price is good. Restrooms are clean and stocked. Service is ok. But u get ur food quickly!
Great prices with generous portions with quick service to all customers. Dine in experience was quick, friendly and definitely be back for another visit with my family.????????
Heavily overpriced based on what you get.
Yum!!!
Great local food!! Exceeded my expectations, from their menu to the ambience and friendly staff. I'll definitely come back :)
Good food. Great prices. Will return.
Great halibut fish and chips, service mediocre fairly clean atmosphere.
It was very busy when we visited, but the food was delicious! We had the halibut and chips, and chicken fingers and chips, and both were crispy, crunchy, and very good. We found the halibut to be evenly battered and not too greasy which was really nice. Special shout-out to Sherry who was taking orders for dine in customers, and also taking orders for a long lineup of take out customers, and also expediting delivery orders! It was a busy night but handled with professionalism all around :)
I always enjoy my fish and chips here. Halibut and haddock are my favourites ????.
Fish was tasty but batter was oil saturated. Perhaps oil not hot enough. Fries were not cooked through as oil not hot enough. Oily and mushy! I have been to other Halibut Houses and they are great. Perhaps some one could advise the franchisee of how to cook your brand name.
Great food, clean place, friendly people. Monday special is worth the visit.
Sweet potatoe fries were awsome.
Halibut House has the best fish and chips I have ever tasted. The batter is so clean crispy not heavy or greasy. It has got to be the best batter I have had on fish. Lorna our server, went out of her way to look after my 91 year old father, He suffered a stroke 6 years ago and his speech is not the best.She was wonderful with him and had him laughing and singing. Not too many servers pay attention to the elderly and especially when they are handicapped and we thank you Lorna for this. My dad also gets cold easily and he mentioned to my mom he was cold and Lorna came to my dad and put a Chefs jacket on his shoulders. Very appreciated. Not only was the food delicious and the atmosphere excellent, we will be coming back for sure. It is a go to place for fish and chips and we will tell everyone we can, With everything that is going on in the world it is so wonderful to see such a caring person such as Lorna, she has made a lasting impression on me and my mother. Thank you
Loved it. New restaurant but really good halibut and chips. Good portion size options. Service was friendly and fast!
Absolutely the best fish and chip restaurant in Brantford, huge portions and fresh cut fries, fish chowder soup is delicious, and reasonable prices on everything.
It was rough. My fiance and I got the special on Monday, which is basically just fish and chips for $10. It was soaking wet because of the grease. We had to put everything in an air fryer to crisp it up. Nothing had any salt on it either. Definitely didn't feel too good afterwards. There's infinitely better fish and chips spots in town. Skip Halibut House and spend your money on a local establishment.
Too nice organization. Food is as usual so yammy
Excellent OPENING day, Fish was fresh, light batter, fries were fresh Cut. Friendly staff and prompt service
Fish serving is large but not a lot of flavour to the coating.
Fantastic fish and chips. Shockingly they also serve a pretty good breakfast
Great food with fast service.
My husband and kids absolutely loved their meals from here! Perfectly crisp fish and good fries. “It’s not good, it’s better than good. It’s absolutely perfect. It he’s 65 thousand stars.” - my 5year old.
They're OK by me as a regular customer.
The food and customer service at this restaurant are beyond excellent. The fish is flaky and hot and the fries are cooked to perfection. I pick fish up here practically weekly for my elderly mother. Last week, she received the wrong order by mistake. This week not only did they include a note of apology in her order but also provided her with two extra pieces of cod!
We actually feel sick after our lunch. The staff were very warm and welcoming but the quality of the food was underwhelming. The halibut fish was non existent in a lot a batter. We had to send my husband back as it deflated in front of our eyes. Coleslaw was a small portion but I didn’t mind because it was soggy and sad. The last weird addition was the ketchup. It most be a real cheap no name that had a very strange taste. Won’t be going back that’s for sure.
I am angry at myself for not going here sooner. The prices are very reasonable and they have specials on some days. I got the $10 Haddock and Chips special and it was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The fish was flavourful, the batter was light and crispy, and not at all greasy. The chips are hand cut and soooooo good! My son had the chicken tenders and he loved them, very tender and flavourful. This is a must-stop!
Halibut House on Appleby surpassed our expectations for dinner, BUT NOT FOR BREAKFAST (more on that at the end). Fish was perfectly cooked (tried both: Halibut and Haddock), the batter was crispy and not oily, and the French fries are out of this world (I'm a picky French Fry eater, since I don't eat them often.) Great place for lunch, clean atmosphere and friendly staff. BREAKFAST: Very disappointed - raw-white potatoes, wrong bread served, toast was really not toasted, stringly pea meal bacon. Won't be back for breakfast, don't recommended. (1 star rating for breakfast, 4 stars for fish dinner!).
Exceptional service, food and value...best place I've eaten in Lindsay! Great for kids too
Good food and friendly service.
Food Taste good, but for $12 you primarily get potatoes and a small piece of fish. Not worth it, will not return.
Excellent place. Best fish tacos. Good daily specials.
Awesome service and good food
Good FnC. Good service.
Great tasting fish and fast service
Love this place. I always get the combo with shrimp, scallops, and a single piece of fish. Fries are amazing, done just how I like them. Have always got takeout, never ate in.
The fish was delicious! The fries were a bit soggy for me and I was a bit disappointed that it was packet tartar instead of housemade but overall it was verrrrrry good. Would definitely go back and just ask for my fries a bit crispier ???? Would also love to see Irn Bru in the fridge or it's cousin Kola Champagne ????
We love the Halibut House. We go there at least every other week. The batter is light and tasty. We only ever get the haddock by personal preference and we find their fillets to be well sized and VERY well priced.
Great fish and chips - super friendly staff -
This used to be the best food for the price. Lately the portion size is greatly reduce and the eggs are pigeon size. Just remember to only buy the 3,49 special no extras no coffee then u get you moneys worth
New to the area and worth a stop! Quick service good food.
Great food and staff!
Pretty clean restaurant, all about fish as I love fish. Halibut fish is always taste good as they are also they cooked it very well crunchy tastier than ever . The price is good with the pockets.
Friendly staff and great food! Love the cheesecake dessert too!
Best Haddock in town. Sunday/Monday spécial. Fish and chips $9. Great homemade fries too!
Had the haddock. Was great and so was the service.
Decent. Halibut was good. Fish Chowder looked like wallpaper paste. But I can't get over the exorbitant number of condiment packets. You must be bleeding money if you supply every order with 33 tartar packets.
Take out
Excellent service and food
Very good service and batter is delicious. We will return.
Good food for a good price.
The actual fish in the batter is approximately a quarter inch thick. Fish was dry. Will not order from there again.
Went on their fish and chip special on Sunday. Decent haddock and chips at a great price. Service was courteous and polite.
Great service as always . Be sure to go on a Wednesday for their Cod and Chips special . Only 8 $ And the portion is quite large . The fish and chips ALWAYS come out nice light and fluffy with a nice delicate crisp batter
Good breakfast. The home fries were excellent and the service prompt and pleasant.
Highly recommended
Was really excited to try Halibut House but was extremely disappointed with the quality. Ordered the Halibut for takeout and was disappointed to find it was very dry and overcooked. Not what I would expect from a place with such great reviews. Also disappointed that they don’t have house-made tartar sauce but the packages were tasty anyway.
Mediocre fish and chip shop. Friendly staff but particularly greasy food...
Good quality meals but a bit pricey- in comparison to other local shops
Loved the service & the food
Always delicious. Fish is not cheap, if it was you should not eat it. You get a good size portion here, and the chips are often enough for two people.
Big servings! Love the crunchiness of the fries, the outside of the fish and creamy, soft and moist on the inside! I've been craving for fish and chips! Now that outside is getting better because of Covid, i gave it a shot and it was amazing! Highly recommended the place. Staff are really nice and friendly too!
Tasty and readonable price
Excellent staff and pricing. Good fish but the batter overwhelms it, which is a shame because the batter is also very tasty. Interesting coleslaw, quite unique and good. Shrimp and Calamari are excellent.
Great chips. Fish done very well light and crisp and not oily at all. I'll be back
Very disppointing!! We ordered two halibut fish and chips to go and picked up at the restaurant. The staff at pick was friendly and professional. It was nice to be able to pick up two cold beers to go with the food order. Unfortunately, the fish was so greasy it was almost inedible. The French fries were tasteless.
Excellent halibut with light crispy batter. Caesar salad needs bacon bits. For a treat try the triple chocolate cheesecake.
Meal type
Good breakfast for a fish and chips place.
Fish was lightly batterd nice and golden. Fries were typical chips, thick.
The food is good but we went there to eat and it was dead silent in there. No music, very empty, white walls and bright lights. Not a good ambiance and vibe. Won’t be back because it wasn’t a comfortable experience.
The restaurant was clean, we had a lovely server and the food was hot and flavourful!
great services , welcoming place , clean looking decor , the linch special was great and and really affordable , need i mention the liquor license !! really fast service aswell !! would recommend
Oh my goodness, it was the best. We were seated immediately. And ordered the seafood platter...huge! We loved it
Love the breakfast here, servers are so friendly.
Least expensive breakfast special in town.
Fish portions are huge. Prefer dine-in than takeout as it taste better. Customer service is great. The fries are really amazing. I like their coleslaw. They sometimes have great deals.
Good food, good price, good people will be returning.
Just visited Halibut House for the first time today. Excellent halibut and chips. Friendly staff. Fast takeout time. Generous with condiments. All around a great first visit. Thankful for such good service. Will return again.
Friendly staff, large portions and Sunday and Monday haddock specials
Tasteless food and over priced.
Amazing place! Good portions, outright criminally cheap breakfast. Very attentive and friendly servers. Tasty fish and well done fries. You can't go wrong with trip to this place.
Went there today(Good Friday) and it was very busy. Some very rude customers were there. Unfortunate as you could see the staff was very overwhelmed. What is the point as a customer to make the situation worse. I think they could have been a little more prepared. Also with Covid 19 guidelines in place just made it a lot more difficult for the staff. Kudos to the staff they never got upset and just did there thing which was to do their best under current situations looking after the customers. The food here as always is fantastic, one of the best fish and chips in town. Just wish they were a little more prepared for the Good Friday onslaught.
Had takeout! I was surprised at the size of the fish! Quite tasty!
Went to the Halibut house last night after working a long 10 hour shift. Was super excited it was now open since I haven't had fish and chips in a long time. Walked in about 10 minutes before closing, the service was awful. They never said hello and ignored me until I they realized I wasnt walking away. Then after I ordered the woman said that I was late and they were closing soon, kept making snarky remarks. All i was getting was take out. I Was ready to leave and not bother but was too tired to do so. Once I got the food the fish was bland and the fries were awful. Was super disappointed in the food and especially the service. Save yourself the trip, it's not worth it. I understand I went close to closing time but if you don't want paying customers coming that late change your hours. Will not be returning ever again.
Excellent staff, happy and friendly. Halibut and chips are awesome.
Enjoyed the fish, could have been a little less greasy.
The greasiest fish I've ever had. It was coming right through the bag and every box was dripping in grease. Not exaggerating. The pieces were big but it was mostly batter. Very little fish. Extremely disappointed.
The worst halibut and chips ever anywhere. First time trying here ..never again. 40 bucks for 2 orders of the most terrible halibut and chips. Fish was dry couldn't even eat it, and fries were just as bad 40 bucks to the trash. Will stick with captain Georges for now on . Lesson learned...YUCK !
Surprisingly good, and reasonably priced to boot! I wasn't expecting much but have to say that this joint really fits the bill - if you're jonsing for some good ol' greasy fish'n'chips, give this place a shot! (and I'm not saying "greasy" as a put-down; let's be adults, we all know what we're getting when we order fish'n'chips.... it isn't health food). Recommended!
The worst fish and chips I ever had. I paid $18.00 for a box of chips that was hard and a piece of fish ,that was 70% batter. This fish looks very big, however it's mostly batter. I had fish and chips at many places before. This is the 1st time I had to toss it in the trash. It was that bad.I would strongly recommend against coming to this place. Go elsewhere !
The best homemade fries this side of the grand and the poutine is flavourful, gooey and so delicious.
Cheap breakfast, the food is okay.
Google said open til 9, went at 830 to place order to go to be told they weren't taking anymore orders, place was dead and wasn't given a good reason as to why. Tried to call at 830 the next day 4 times and nobody answered the phone. Extremely unprofessional, adjust hours if you won't accept business after a certain time.
Very nice, I'm English so I'd know ;) (well, I enjoyed them at least)
Great breakfast and fantastic service by the server. Will definitely be back again.
That halibut was hammered flat and textured like styrofoam. Fries get a 2
Tried this fine establishment for the first time today. I am honestly blown away, this has to be some of the best fish and chips I have ever had. Thick wide cut filet steaks with thin crisp breading. Very little grease. Cooked just right. Super thick fresh cut fries. All around I am super satisfied with the quality, taste and service. Great value, everything you see here for just over 50$ all in. Fed our entire family and then some. Highly recommend if you're craving fish and chips.
Great customer service, friendly staff, cleanliness 10/10, delicious food, amazing deals/prices. I will be back when they reopen.
Food was good and it's very clean! Nice staff too.
Be wary of the quality, having been part of the food industry as a QA specialist and process engineer, i can guarantee they are not changing the cooking oil regularly to save costs, AND they are using the same oil to fry everything, i know the taste of bad oil and this place definitely needs an inspection. Also they aren't draining the oil properly after cooking.
Good price, excellent service and friendly, large portions ????
Well. The fish was good. Service was excellant.. it is take out only due to covid lockdown
Food and prices are awesome. Perfect batter. Perfect chips.
Love the fish... good size portions. Just can't handle the oil anymore! My fish and chips days may be over
Friendly staff, fair prices, generous portions, and good food. My wife and I had the cod special lunch on Wednesday and enjoyed it.
Amazing food and excellent service!
Best fish and chips ever!!!
Very tasty fish
The specials for each day is always great and a good deal.
Best cheap and easy breakfast in burlington.
Food was great, hspecial halibut lunch special and it was very fresh and delicious
Dinner wasn't freshly cooked. Fast but definitely refried.
First of all the staff are really friendly, and helpful. The price is really good for the portions. Would definitely go there again.
Great breakfast value! Friendly, fast and tasty :)
Best breakfast deals out there
Loved it! Good specials, good value for money, friendly service, and delicious dish and chips. We went after lunch and it was nice and quiet. Definitely going back but will have a smaller meal and save room for Cheesecake Factory desserts!
Great breakfast special. Fish and Chips is okay.
Went there for brunch and love it! Love the brightness and ambience of the place. The waitresses are friendly. The food taste perfect plus the serving is big, definitely worth the price! Food is not greasy and just the right amount of saltiness. The cook, Kim, deserves a mention!
Pretty big menu. The prices are pretty good for the portion size AND the food is great! (The platter is yum!) The staff is really nice and they have cheesecake!
Best Halibut and chips. Always fresh and hot.
My favorites place for fish and chip.
Prices are great, portions are huge and quality of food is awesome, staff is very friendly. This is my absolute new favourite restaurant in all of Brantford, besides Zanders of course
Love this place. I go for breakfast a couple times a week
Large portions, great food and great service. Will be revisiting for sure.
Order here 2-3 times a month, never dissatisfied. Very broad menu that can accommodate everyone.
First time at this new restaurant. The server was wonderful. Very friendly and extremely helpful and kind. I can't remember the server's name but he was just very nice. My husband and I both ordered the Halibut and Chips....the halibut was AMAZING!!!!!! I will definitely be visiting there again! Dying to try their grilled variety of fish ????
A surprisingly large restaurant near the movie theater. Would be great for a meal if going to a movie. AND they have beer. Unlike many others, this one does not overdo the batter. It's not super thick so you get the fish flavour and not mostly batter. We had lunch here Tuesday at 145pm. Owned by Chinese folks and the lady was very nice and friendly. They have a haddock special but we both paid more to get the haddock. (One lunch size and one dinner size.) Delicious although an extra 60 seconds in the frier might have made it perfect. In my subjective opinion. They serve breakfast too..not fish then. Halibut and haddock are expensive on the world market, but we felt the meals were good value.
Had a very reasonably priced cod and poutine at Halibut House Fish and Chips and the portions were very generous. The staff and environment were very kind and lovely. They also have a very affordable breakfast menu as well. Would recommend and come back again!
Go there every week for the cheap halibut special on Sunday and Monday, could reccomend the food more with great portion sizes
Been to Halibut House several times for their Fish & Chips. Delicious, every time! Staff are friendly and speedy service.
The fish and chips are excellent. Order ahead on Good Friday and still expect to wait if you are planning to pick up take out. The staff is super friendly and helpful.
Friendly service, clean, and a great price for the amount of food.
Service was excellent. Food not so much. I ordered Halibut with onions rings, also tried some of my wifes fried mushrooms. Seems as though they use the same fluffy batter for all of it, it holds the grease alot, so everything ended up tasting extremely greasy.
Good food. Waitress has a talent to never come back to your table.
Good portion size. Delicious.
Amazing service and delicious food . I'll be back here at this location for sure .
Tried this place a week ago. Fabulous! Had the haddock & chips. Nice big piece of fish. Not too much batter, good fries. Clam strips were great. Often they’re rubbery when I’ve had them from other places. These were soft & tasty. Breaded mushrooms were the greatest thing ever! Soooo good! My mom had the Caesar salad as well & thought it was very good. Will definitely be back!
Staff was extremely cooperative and restaurant was clean and indoor dining was maintained at safe distance
Great food, nice staff and large portions Pictured is the 9$ haddock and chip special. More than enough food for one person.
Love my halibut, and this place, and every other Halibut House I have gone to always delivers!
Went on a Sunday afternoon, not very good. Fish has a processed taste to it and the fries are pretty nasty even with ketchup or malt vinegar. For the price paid, ($32 for 2 Fish and 1 Chips) I expected better. I recommend The Lighthouse Fish and Chips on Colborne St.
Best fish and chips I've had in a long while, especially in the area. Many of the sides are also top notch, and the staff are exceptionally friendly.
Always great service and food.
Good fish and chips decent fries worth a try a little bit pricey ....but with the deal was ok
Food is good and the staff is friendly keep up the good work Brantford ????
With the exception of Good Friday, quick friendly service and great food. Proportions are good but vary, sometimes the fish doesn't even for in the box! Not very consistent though. Sunday-Monday deal for Haddock is awesome. On Good Friday things get FUBAR, you've been warned, but hey they're trying their best.
Went on a Sunday, had their special of the day. We really enjoyed our meal of a large piece of fish, chips were done to perfection, and I'm very fussy on cole slaw but I loved it and ate it all. The service was excellent too!
Excellent yo .
Awesome service. No assigned server so whoever is nearest takes care of you. Huge portions that were very well prepared. Worth the visit, will be back.
Excellent meal. Fish tender and flaky and the batter on it light and crispy. Well recommend the trip there
Great lunch special.
Wow amazing fish and chips. Great price and friendly staff.Best fish and chips in the area bar none.
Fish was awesome excellent batter. Servers friendly. Will definitely revisit
I ordered takeout on Friday evening, we had a timed pick up. I was there a few minutes early and was told it would be ready soon and they took my payment. I waited another 20 minutes for my food. When I got home it was cold. My battered mushrooms were soggy and under cooked. I attempted to write to the business, however, they didn't return my email. The fish tasted nice, would have been better if it wasn't cold. EDIT** I just received an email back...I am guessing after the review was read.
Super clean and wonderful workers. Friendly staff. Exquisite food. LOVE THEIR SPECIALS. Love the prices and the food. YOU MUST EAT HERE.
Breakfast - I used a coupon and tried the breakfast here. It was very good and even though I used a coupon the waitress was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely go back, but I will ask them to cook the potatoes a bit more as they seemed a bit underdone to me, although the person I went with thought they were fine. Fish and Chips.... Prices are reasonable and the fish was tasty (but greasy... that is what I expected with fish and chips though). I wasn't crazy about the taste of the fries. We went on probably the busiest day of the year, so maybe that is why. Next time I get them I will see how they taste or maybe add some salt. If more salt is needed, it is probably best that the customer adds it themselves instead of getting fries that are too salty. As I said we went on the busiest day of the year (Good Friday). They were very well prepared. From entering the door to leaving we were there for about 10 minutes total. Seeing how many people were there this was very good.
I tried the haddock & chips Monday dec 28th 2020 & it was totally awesome & the fish was massive with very good gravy. Couldn't wait to try the cod & chips with gravy the following wednesday & it was horrible. the young woman cook obviously removed the fish from the oil & it must of had a 2 inch thick strip of oil from the fryer to my container, i didnt expect that at all & it made a huge costly mess in my back seat of my car. She couldnt let it drain for at least 2 seconds, that would of been made a massive improvement, half the fish was uneatable from being drowned in oil & the rest was to soggy to pick up, the gravy was watery & maybe 60% full placed sideways inside the paper wrapping with the box containing the food. i wish i got half as much gravy as i did oil. she must really hate her job. i even tipped her very well. i love the portions & cannot wait to go back but i guess i have to tell them too drain it then rip it open in my car to be sure its half decent then let out most the hat so i get home with a cold dinner.
First time trying this restaurant and was super impressed. My new go to place for Fish and Chips. Fish was super fresh and flavorful! Portions were great and staff was super friendly too. It is nice to see a local restaurant like this in KW. Support local and visit these guys! Only recommendation was that I hope someday they can come up with their own tartar sauce instead of the generic one they give.
When I had my son birthday, we order from you guys and my 95 years old grandma she lives in brampton plus loves your halibut and chips when ever we go to Brampton to visit my grandma we bring her halibut and chips. When will you open up a halibut house In Brampton
Wow, is what comes to mind. This place has earned it’s good reviews. The fries were a little undercooked for my liking. But other than that, you will not be disappointed. Three thumbs up !!!
Great service by Apple and amazing food!
One day I wish to visit there
dirty place and gross food. tastes like its 10 years past it's best before date.
I simply cannot believe the dried out pieces of grilled fish that we had to pay for through Skip the Dishes. Is there a way to leave a picture? This was disgraceful.
Great place, good food.
Hot, fresh food.
Soggy fish and chips not edable
Friendly staff, nice clean place. The fries are not so good, neither is the dessert, but the halibut was great!
Love the ambiance and the sea food dishes are praise worthy as they are delicious. I’m impressed by the service and will be checking in again to have some yummy food.
Hands down the best fish and chips I've ever had! Very busy place, which certainly doesn't surprise me, very large servings and decent prices too!
Delicious ????
Ordered a 2 piece haddock dinner with sweet potato fries. Food was fast, hot and delicious. The chipotle dip and sweet potato fries were fantastic (big deal for me personally) The staff was also friendly and accommodating, definitely going to make this spot a regular when I'm in the mood for some fish n chips.
Good portion but grease needs to be changed, food transferred tastes
Oh wow where do I begin!? My wife and I and sometimes... mother in law visit this place at least once a week for the past 1.5+ years or so! This is a great little franchise business in the renovated Appleby village mall/strip. The owners have a well above bang for your buck fish 'n chip special and a fantastic breakfast menu for a place that's named more for Fish than breakfast!! Its always busy/steady, there is lots of turn over, the place is clean, the quality is great and a real gem which probably doesn't get enough credit are the WAITRESSES!!! These ladies are down to earth, nice, great people who run food to tables, for hours on end during the breakfast/brunch rush etc etc and deserve just as much credit as the cooks or more perhaps! Like a few other reviewers have said there is sometimes coupons in the paper, there are always decent breakfast specials and of course fish n chips too. If you're looking for an average, everyday treat for yourself with awesome people and service? Give Halibut House Appleby a chanceamd tip your Waitress!!! They deserve it! :)
Good but expensive.
While the food is good I wouldn't recommend eating in the restaurant the staff is obnoxious and the dining tables are filthy and have insects and left over food on them.
I ordered The House Special. Fish and chips, breaded scallops and breaded shrimp it also came with a salad and onion rings. It was quite the feast!! Amazing food and excellent service. They were following all the COVID protocols. I cant wait to go back!
I ordered grilled halibut there were No grill marks on it, no seasoning, cold and rubbery .Fries were cold and hardly cooked. Called to complain and given the run around . Last time i eat there ! Seams they have it over the customer now that its picked up .Never know what youll get or the quality!
Had the haddock and chips on their Monday special. The fish was huge! Pictures don't even do it justice, because the plates are so big. Chips were great too. Went for the breakfast one day. It was really good also.
Had 2 pieces of fish and chips and a grilled halibut and ceasar salad delivered last night. 71 with taxes and tip. Fish and chips ok. Nothing special. Grilled halibut was really tiny but the worst was the ceasar. No bacon, no croutons and no parmesan! Literally just lettuce and dressing. I did get enough packets of malt vinegar and ketchup to last me a lifetime. Which ended up in the garbage since I dont eat either. Waste. Sorry. I dont think I will be ordering from here again.
Great fish good service
That was a huge and delicious piece of fish, and great prize considering I'm pretty sure it was the whole fish! ????
Best in brantford well worth the price .wish coleslaw came with it .great staff too
Very poor service tonight....received our meals before our drinks....waitress never check in once through the meal...never asked us if we wanted anything else. Just brought the bill and debit machine. Never ever going back!!!!
gotta get it home fast cuz it cools quick but its YUMMY! ~ and don't forget the onion rings!
They have an amazing cheap breakfast but their fish is somewhat greasy.
Excellent food, great service and very clean restaurant.
Good local fish and chips place.
This place is a typical British-style fish and chips restaurant. The staff and service makes up for the taste of the food, which is a little different from what I'm used to at restaurants like these. It wasn't bad, it just felt like it was missing something.
Being very picky with fish and chips, most are soggy, over battered or tasteless, I found Halibut House was a nice surprise. Friendly, no rush staff and high quality food. As an aside, why anyone would order fish and chips through Skip The Dishes is unbelievable. This is not the type of food that travels well. Suggestion to management, 86 the Skip The Dishes option as it will only tarnish your food reputation.
I ordered the house special platter. Was ready when they said it would be and everything on it was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be returning.
Nice staff. Fast service. Strangely my bacon I ordered with breakfast tasted a bit like fish. I'm sure it was a fluke (no pun intended) , but I don't think I'll go back for breakfast. The two stars are for the bacon only.
Great place great servers food all good
Love the fish! It's my first time to try. Definite coming back. Must try Cod in town. Come here during afternoon so it's not busy
Had cod and French fries take out. Fish was very good. Generous portion with light crispy breading. French fries were mediocre- you could tell they were from fresh potatoes but just ok. The coleslaw was a light oil & vinegar dressing- fresh but just mediocre. Price was in line for fish & chips and take out packaging was recyclable. Bottom line we would order again.
Solid breakfast. Fair prices. Great coffee. Good staff.
Always a great breakfast!
Salad was fresh. Grilled fish was poor. Overcooked and lukewarm.
Great food nd service
If my wife wasn't along I would just left. Far too complicated menu. Secondly they charge $1.90 for a tin of pop. No fountain pop. They will lose revenue. Thirdly they are expensive. 2 piece fish and chips over $21.00. Better to check out The Fish Hut on Westheights drive. First and last time here for us and I'll let our friends know! Enough said. If I hear they have changed things I may come back.
We have been to the Halibut house twice since it opened. The fish, chips, scallops and shrimp are fresh and delicious. Prices are reasonable. The wait staff are cheerful and attentive. They now have beer and wine as well. Very nice restaurant.
It’s cheap to go on Sunday’s but the batter is too thick and excessively greasy to the point it falls of the fish. Onion rings are terrible, not worth the extra cost.
Service was excellent and food was absolutely delicious
One order forgotten. .lack of condiments but overall the food was good
Just noticed this place yesterday and had been craving some halibut... So decided to get some takeout tonight. Excellent fish for a good price!! I got a huge lightly battered piece and more then enough fries to go with it. Will definitely be back!
The worst chicken slovacki ever. Overpriced and horrible taste.
Fish is very tasty. Takeout order was ready very fast. Staff polite and helpful. Fries too greasy for me , had to put them on paper towel at home to get rid of extra oil.
Wow! I usually order at Fish Hut but this one is way huge than the fish there. got 1pcs Haddock and Chips last Monday for $9. I guess that's their special that day which is pretty good price for what I got.
5 star presentation 5 star food 1 star attention to detail. Spent $150 on fish. Got it delivered. Showed up with NO tarter sauce! What a joke. Ruined my families night
Great Fish and Chips. Not all batter. Friendly service .
Fast, excellent quality food
Breakfast was pretty good. A little pricey though.
Perfectly fried and fresh. Much healthier option than what I normally taste! Highly recommend!
Very good service and food.
One of the worst meals I’ve ever had. Soggy undercooked chips and soggy partially battered fish. It was genuinely a chore to eat this meal. Most ended up in the garbage.
Friendly service, great food.
Greasy batter and very thin fish.
Showed up, ordered and waited outside for social distancing. Girl taking the order was very helpful. Got the food home and have to say it was great, batter on the fish was perfect and still crisp. We ll be back for sure.
Great food Great service
Very busy on a Wednesday evening. Restaurant has no atmosphere and is fairly small. However the cod and chips special ($10) was excellent. Adequate free parking. But restaurant not very accessible to wheelchairs.
At first look, it's a cool place, very good environment... at first look. A server by the name of Alyssa I think it was, she was helping me today. Doing an amazing job. She was very nice and polite, fantastic job. The manager or owner or whatever was what took the other 4 stars away. He was very hostile towards a lot of his employees and it was a very toxic environment from then on.
Excellent fish and chips. Great service!
Great service everything arrived hot to the table.
We were really looking forward to this fish and chip shop opening. We went opening night last week and they were excellent. Fish had a nice crispy batter, loved it. Just got the same again tonight and they were absolutely disgusting. We opened the package and the grease literally poured out. Both the fish and the chips were soggy. Needless to say we will not be going back there again
I love their halibut and chips for lunch.
The worst tasting fish and chips in Brantford! Do not recommend you waste your monet. Soggy fish inside yuck!
Waitress was very nice and honest. She saved us 24.00.
Very fresh and tasty.
Mmmmmm
Excellent food and service! Go on a Sunday or Monday. (Reduced prices)
We ordered by phone and asked for specific pickup time...order was ready, plentiful and top quality. Very satisfied in every way. We hit every section of the menu. Cheers to Halibut House!
Friendly, very clean, well lit, best fish ever, good size portions
i got extra fries it was insanely good
Halibut fish is very delicious. Fries are crispy. Overall experience is good and worth to eat at this place. :)
Great prices on Sundays and Mondays for Haddock and chips...only $8. Always friendly
great food! Great service and fast aswell.
not a big fish and chip fan but this place is so delicious! everything is cooked perfectly and the batter is light and fluffy. service was wonderful as well
The cod ???? and sweet potatoes were absolutely perfect, and the battered shrimp ???? were also delicious. The cod was very light and flaky with a very generous portion.
Restaurant was clean. Service was wonderful. Food was delicious.
I'm giving it 4 because the fish was really good and the fries were decent but the coleslaw was absolutely terrible.
Didn't answer phone and not on web site for ordering.
Great place to eat
Great service, wonderful staff and I loved the house special Dish.
Fish and chips are a heavy meal. This was more so.
Solid fish and chips place. Been our go too since dave and nancy's closed. Ussually very quick to get the food and always hot and fresh.
Great breakfast options in addition to their well priced, already great sea food menu
I had fish and chips from Halibut House for the 1st time today. It was the best fish and chips I have had in years. Great service too. Will return.
Good service, they don't just have fish and chips, there's also burgers, poutine, salads, a few starters etc.. The food is very good & prices are good. There menu has lots of varieties on it. You can eat in or take out. They also do breakfast in morning. You should check it out.
I know this is a popular place but we won't be going back. Food was nothing special - all breading - not tasty - yet cost $70 for dinner for two. Ordered by phone - they gave me an arrival time....food wasn't cooked when I got there...had to wait 20 minutes. Food was falling out of the box and therefore got cold because box was overstuffed with twice as many chips as anyone could possibly eat. Too much breading on Halibut and especially the shrimp. Standing there for 20 minutes allowed me to note that the cooked asked why the cash staff were taking so much to bag the food, when he had cooked it long ago...and watched waitresses/cash staff handling many different tasks and items and didn't see them wash their hands once in the 20 minutes.
Good fish and chips
Burp what more can I say
Oh man its superr british fish and chips shop
Great food every time! Very friendly staff too.
We ordered the family pack of 5 Halibut and chips 3 times now. Reasonable price, healthy portions and always cooked perfect and warm . Hope this trend continues
Fast service, nice fish, but fries always taste like they've been under the warming light...kinda yucky!
I come here at least once every couple of months for their Sunday fish n chips deal. The servers are super friendly, the food is great and the service is fast.
Great little place for breakfast!! Who knew?
Food was great, haddock & shrimp. Only place open on Sundays...saved my butt. Need to get in main website.
I was so disappounted on my last visit 2 weeks ago. The fish was over battered and thick and very little fish. The fries were cold. I did send an e mail but heard nothing back.
Went there for the first time. Very impressed with the quality of the fish. Clams and chips are good too. I would recommend offering ketchup and tarter sauce on takeout orders. Not sure if it was an oversight, but there wasn't any in the bag. No biggie. Couple of small add ons that I'd recommend adding is a soft dinner roll, and coleslaw. For anyone reading this, it's the best fish and chips you'll get in KW. I know what I'm talking about. Not only am I from the east coast, but I've had the best. Such as John's lunch, and another place now closed in Dartmouth NS. Plus have had the fish at the old Camille's joint in Halifax. My meal was on the same level of quality as the others mentioned in this review. 5 stars
Cheap early bird breakfast...halibut is decent
Delicious fish and chips. Breakfast is killer too.
My family and I ordered the Sunday haddock special for pick up, and it was delicious. The service was great, timely & quick, the food was hot and super good! I was so surprised with the large haddock portion. My coworker told me about this place, and I'm glad I checked it out. Very satisfied, we will be eating here again, and I will be sharing my experience with everyone!
Ordered Halibut and Chips for Good Friday. Food was ready on time, and halibut was a great size. Food wasn't greasy at all, and amount-to-value ratio was great. If I had one request, it would be to get more malt vinegar packets, but that's not a reason to give anything less than a full 5 stars.
First time in a long time for having Fish and Chips. The best experience. Staff was fabulous. Food was fantastic. Fish chowder soup was so delicious. The Halibut was the best we've ever had. Will be trying the breakfast for sure. ????????????????????
Service & food good. Prices a little high.
Best fish and seafood ever!! Fresh, flavourful, not greasy or burnt or soggy, always consistent golden textured battered fish, seafood and fries! Your mouth will water as they prepare your order, and you will savor each bite.. um um good ???? Owners, chefs and servers are always pleasant and welcoming, never rush you if you eat in. Bring your appetite to this hidden gem as portion sizes are plentiful! Prices are very reasonable. Wil be going back to them and suggest all seafood and fish lovers do the same! You will not regret it.
I found it to greesy
Came here for lunch on Thankgiving Monday, fantastic server, Patti, was over top helpful, and so friendly. Delicious meal, lots of food for your money. Best place for fish and chips in the twin cities. Brand new location, must try.
Fantastic food and service. My halibut with Greek salad was delicious
We have tried the takeout twice. Portion size was good, however the fish was overcooked and tough the first time and undercooked the second to the point of having raw batter on the fish. They also missed part of our order. Calling the restaurant was a complete waste of my time as all the staff could apparently say was "ya" and "ok" after I had to explain twice that the fish was undercooked. I eventually hung up after a few oks and yas without them actually acknowledging my problem. Disappointed to say the least and I am not going back, nor would I recommend it to anyone.
Very good halibut. Staff was good at keeping up with covid requirements. Booth seats were uncomfortable so would choose a table next time. Friendly staff
Good food
Great fish and chips. Lots of fish( not all batter) and their fries are delicious too.
Great food excellent service very friendly and pleasant. Will going there regularly. More than your money worth, very satisfying.
Excellent fish and chips, good service, and food came out quickly
Food is awesome. Big servings
Great fish.
I ordered the Monday night special and I received halibut instead for $16.95. The fish and chips and service was good I just did not receive what I asked for. Normally I would’ve waited for my right order but I was pressed for time. There is obviously a communication/Language problem.
So good
One of the most friendly staffed places I've ever been to. This is our go to spot. The food is awesome and service is great. Definitely reccomend!!!
Chips were older
Great breakfast, fast service. Not just for fish. Daily special is a very good deal
Best fish and chips ,friendly staff. Good prices.
Had the Wednesday Cod and Chips deal for Take out. Food was fresh and pretty fast for a Wednesday night. Fish tacos were pretty tasty as well. Served with actual chips not French fries was a plus. Wife was happy they have mushy peas lol. Will go back
Love it
Food was excellent service was great very clean and safe prices are inline Can't wait to go back
Called to ask to put utensils in my Skipthedishes order the young lady was super friendly!!! Rare nowadays. Thank you. Food was excellent as well
Good value and great service
First time I used the online order, I turned up at the prearranged time, the order cost less then the online price, unfortunately the fish was cool inside and the batter was greasy.
Great service, great food, great specials. Plain yet clean.
First time eating here I had the one piece halibut special. A nice crispy batter - not at all greasy. No reservations but had no trouble getting a table early Sunday afternoon and were able to linger. I heard they do a great breakfast. Big bright spacious place. The sooner customer numbers go acc/to dining area size the better. The sound of more happy diners would have added to the experience. The place can easily handle it safely.
I really enjoyed lunch order of halibut and chips. Onion rings were very good.
Happy to see another Fish and Chips open up in the local area. They have a lot of deals going on at the moment so it's worth checking them out. We ordered the Cod and our friends ordered the Halibut. Positives all around, staff was very friendly. The fish is nice and crispy but also soft on the inside and not over done. Be prepared to eat lots of fries as they give you a ton. Check them out and support a local business in the area ????????
I loved the haddock and coleslaw. It really goes well together. I recommend to eat it there while it's fresh, coz you'll appreciate it more
I loved the haddock and coleslaw. It really goes well together. I recommend to eat it there while it's fresh, coz you'll appreciate it more
The fish was over cooked. The salad dressing was bad. No flavor in most of the food. And the calamari was the only thing that was done right
Great food, good prices, good portions.
Had takeout tonight. Almost $30 for two pieces of halibut and chips. Halibut was super thin and square. Had a slightly sour taste. Fries were plentiful but over cooked. Super disappointed and won’t be back
Was sure out to make people happy awesome at what they do you can tell they take care of their clients even for my first experience I could see they were busy had my order ready in under ten minutes went to check dog in car with all windows opened including hatchback was going back to check after 7 mins ready with a smile I'm positively going back best halibut I tasted in a while can't wait to try other food here Keep up your the best !!!!!!!
Great service with a smile.
If you like black hair with your fish, this is the place. I ordered the grilled halibut/chips and found a stran of black hair stuck to the fish. The waitress was nice and told me she won't charge me for this. She did offer to get me another plate. But , I declined because everyone cooking in the kitchen are not wearing any hair nets. Plus, the front desk and the kitchen are sharing the same walkway,. So, everyone working is walking by the cooked food. Also, like to mention what others already stated about the food portions. The grilled halibut was tasteless and very small. The portion of fries was a joke. Definitely not worth $16 dollars.
What a great experience The food was amazing the waitress was so kind and even before we where going to leave and wanted a coffee to go they made a fresh pot and dug out there take out cups Definitely will be back Roelie from Bobcaygeon
Have read about this restaurant for a while on the Facebook Burlington restaurant site. Decided to try one day after work. Was absolutely delicious and will definitely go back!
Ordered breakfast: Skillet wasn't fried together. More like a poutine with tater tots, without gravy. Disappointed.
Fries were overcooked, unlike gta area Halibut House where they give u a big helping of fries and cokesaw not served in a small bowl. Very disappointed
Great breakfast! Crispy Bacon, an egg, chunky homefries and toast. Came hot to the table. Daily special for $4.99 coffee extra. Very good breakfast place. Lots of choices.
Halibut house knocks the ball out of the park. I have had a lot of fish in my life (Newfie) and from now on this will be our go to fish and chips place. Generous portions and never greasy. I reccomend this place 110%. You won't be disappointed.The store was spotless and the staff was very friendly and polite
THE best fish and chips in Burlington!
Really liked it here, I’ve just moved to the area and have been looking for a good fish and chip place, I’ve tried a few places and found them just ok, but this place was simple and delicious, just what I like with fish and chips. The first time I tried it I ordered skip the dishes and thought it was good and very quick, the second time we ate there and ordered the cod instead of halibut and we thought the cod was better then the halibut. The price is definitely reasonable, we definitely would go back.
Well we bought the family pack of halibut...if your looking for real fish and chips, your NOT getting it here, it was like highliner except they added an extra pound of grease...everything was soggy, the fries were not done, the cole slaw was bland... DO NOT WASTE your MONEY get a pizza or burger... Worst I have ever had... learn how to make a batter and do it the RIGHT WAY...
Large portions of fish, fresh taste, go to spot for a fish fix!
This was our go-to fish and chip joint since moving to the area but most recently they changed their tarter sauce… deal breaker for us! Please bring back the old tarter sauce!!!!!
Drove by a few time prior too being open , Once opened a friend and I went on our Lunch break we walked in ( During Covid ) very clean , seating arrangements were nicely spread out ... Young Gentleman seated us , told us he would be back after we looked at the menu ( started telling him we knew what we wanted already due too having grabbed menus at the front door he walked away dragging his feet across the floor ... 25 minutes go by ( friend and I spoke about getting up and leaving because we needed to get back too work ) long story short young gentleman come back telling us he forgot about seating us and wanted to know if someone took our order we said NO , he took our order dragging his feet again to go place our order finally got our order ...food portion was a good size , drinking cups looked like they were for children .
Good portion, good tasting, good service, good pricing.
Hot, delicious, huge portions. ???? will eat here again.
Love the fish and chips and service is great
Pre ordered our food a week ago been standing here for 45 minutes horribly ran owner does not know how to run a simple restaurant I understand it's Good Friday but learn how to run a restaurant That's the point of a preorder
Delish. I will definitely be back
Over priced and mediocre
First time customer ordered for two halibut dinners with salads Came home while eating salad started to notice something not right Inside my mouth pulled out a hard piece of plastic quite big called them and all they said want a new salad ????? For a new restaurant management didn't handle this issue well another unsatisfied customer
Great food!! Great service!! Friendly, polite staff. Highly recommend!
Worst battered haddock ever. Lukewarm n barely crispy n way, way too expensive for what it was. Never buying from here again..
Great food, great portions. Will get takeout from this restaurant again
Great service and food. Best breakfast in Lindsay!
Great breakfast, having owner's child running around not so great.
The breakfast is just ok, but the fish and chips are great
Chips always undercooked for my liking even after requesting the chips be cooked crispy
When I go to Lindsay to visit my mom we both love to go out for fish and chips. Staff are great and so are the prices. This is one fish and chip restaurant that permits eat in which we like
The staff is friendly and helpful you get a lot of food for the money. The room is clean.
I tried grilled salmon fish from here. It was very delicious and my kids love it ..best in Brantford..highly recommended
I'm not commenting on the food. The staff claim to be unable to enforce any kind of covid 19 precautions. A person at the table adjacent to ours was continuously hacking a dry cough. The first staff member that we notified said that she didn't hear it. The next staff member said that they could do nothing other than post a sign at the door with conditions for entry. We left half of our meal on the table and checked out. No compensation for a ruined meal and no apologies. How sincere are the owners in regard preventing the spread of covid 19. Update to the above. The owner now claims that staff offered to move our table which they did not.
Walked all the way there in the cold and they sent us home and refused to serve us because they were "serving" a BUNCH of highschool kids, who where really just sitting there hanging out.. I didn't see anyone eating. very bad customer service, will not be returning.
Order $140 worth of fish for nfl red zone Great food sent zero tarter sauce even though o asked for extra Ruined my friend hangout my friend punched a hole in the wall
Great place. Food is always delicious. Will definitely be going back.
We got take out and just found everything very greasy and soggy when we got it home
Large portions good food, very clean safety being observed will go again when my wife and I feel safe eating inside.
We decided try this location a second time. The first time was when you first opened but last night's version didn't impress. The fries were uncooked and the fish was greasy. Sorry to say, there will not be a third chance.
The batter was like chios, didn't stick to the fish n the cod didn't taste fresh
Had a takeout of grill salmon it was only half cooked so I had to re cook it at home
Greesy, no taste, awful.... Staff is nice and pleasant but food was horrible
Hot well cooked halibut and crispy fries...sure hit the spot.
No tartar sauce .....my friends and I were gonna have a great birthday party and now it feels like a funeral!!!!... RIP my hunger
Excellent Halibut and fries
food was better than last place we ordered from
Friendly staff, ample servings, clean, reasonably priced, will return
Tried it for the first time today for take out. I’ve had better fish n chips. The fish (halibut) was salty over cooked dry and chewy. The fries were ok (a bit soggy). The clam strips were good. Half the order was missing (including coleslaw) and the clam strip box only came a 1/4 full. They fixed it without question. I’d like to try the fish tacos next time.
Best fish n chips .. awesome wait staff and service highly recommended
Good and cheap
Most vile thing I have ever eaten. Taste like they put the fish in cold burn canola oil or something and then slowly heated it up. It was squishy with old stale disgusting grease. My whole order was garbage. I have ordered here last year and it was great I have no clue what happened. I actually feel I’ll right now. So gross.
Delicious fish and chips.
Great service. Had the house special. Very generous portion of food. Excellent light batter. The fish was delicious. The shrimp were huge. The scallops were sweet. Loved the fresh cut fries.
Best fish and the best deal in town.
Great food
Well, I have to say I was disappointed! My daughter was down visiting me and we decided we wanted fish and chips for dinner, I'd heard great things about the Halibut House so we decided to give it a try. I ordered two halibut dinners to go, the bill was $32.00 and change. When I went in to pick up our order I realized there was only one box in the bag and I asked the young lady where the second dinner was. It seemed she misunderstood and thought I only wanted 2 pieces of halibut and chips. Wow, $32.00 for two pieces of fish and chips! Then she offered to get me a second order of chips and since my daughter was sitting in the car waiting I decided to go that route so we could get going. More fun and confusion, she told me she would have to charge me an extra $2.00 for the aditional chips, then she told me sorry, it was $3.00 not $2.00, by the time I finally got my chips it had gone up to $5.00. So, $37.00 and change for two pieces of fish and chips, no coleslaw or lemon. The food was good but not that good and the staff seemed very inexperienced, the one young lady had to get a calculator out to try and figure out change from a $50.00. So would I go back, probably not, while the food was good I don't feel it's good value for what we did get.
only because i can't rate them as a ZERO, ordered through DoorDash, they forgot 1/2 the order ($25 worth of order)called them about it and they said to deal with DoorDash, reordered thru DoorDash and they issued a credit 45 minutes later after DoorDash says they accepted the order they call saying they don't have an order and now I have no dinner - never again and what was delivered was cold
Amazing food and Staff
Went today for lunch and had the halibut. Beautiful light but crunchy batter and cooked to perfection. The handcut fries and coleslaw were great. Huge serving. Great friendly service and spotlessly clean restaurant. Plexiglass partitions between all the booths. I will definitely be back and have already recommended it to my son and daughter.
Service was nice . Halibut was undercooked. Opaque with pink spots. Still made me pay. Very grossed out.
If I could put -1 star I would. Absolutely the worst Grilled Halibut and dining experience I've ever had. Ordered the Halibut and Greek salad. First plate delivered to the table and it was so over done that it tasted like crispy paste. Waitress was very good and took it back to get a new piece. Second piece while not over cook was just a very poor piece of fish. Was like chewing on calamari and had no taste, but that's not the worst of it. Told the waitress that this piece was no better. Manager came over and started to ask us where we usually buy our fish? Fortinos? Wish they did. Then proceeded to tell us that lots like their halibut, but she understood what I was talking about. Still continued to insult us by saying we did not know what the texture and taste should be like. She was completely rude, demeaning and insulting. Won't be back!!!! Next time we will visit a better establishement that understands what fish should be like. Suggest Jake's Boathouse or Caz's Fish & Chips to all who care.
First time visit it was absolutely wonderful, the Halibut was perfect, chips wonderful and the gravy was great. We will be back for sure . Thank you Halibut House. Returned for second visit just as good as the first visit , certainly the leader in Lindsay for fish and chips. Definitely recommend.
Halibut House is soooo Delicious !!! It's our go to place for Fish N' Chips !!! You won't be disappointed ???? We used to go elsewhere and it was so crammed while waiting for your order .
Friendly personal service, tasty, good portions and not greasy
I was disappointed. Taste is not comparable to capt. George's. Prices aren't either. Waitress never came back to fill our water glasses or ask how everything was. Will not go back.
Great food!
This is 'hands-down' the best place to have fish & chips (coming from a fish lover)! The fish cant get any tender than what is served in the most perfectly crispy batter. Oh, not to mention, the portion size is the most 'generous' as compared to others! I'm a fan, Halibut House!! Thank you
Fish taco with raw onions?? I enjoy fish tacos however Halibut House has it all wrong! A better choice would be Joeys Fish and Chips. I also ordered fish and chips for my wife, fries were under cooked. Perhaps breakfast would be a better choice at this location, hard to screw up bacon and eggs.
Best fish and chips in town! Portions are enormous amazing deals if you take advantage of their Sunday, Monday and Wednesday specials
Passing through Branford my son spotted the Halibut House and we decided to stop. We went in to order and both orders were identical, 2 lunch fish & chips with a side of gravy each. When the food was ready the four of us ate in the car. The complaints start: my son and wife received one order instead of two. He had to go back in and wait again for the second order. The fries did not get a good nod from anyone, being soggy and mushy. After asking for all the condiments, there was no salt in either order (back in again). The fish got good reviews all around. They may have a couple things to work on here. The Halibut House in Kitchener was excellent.
Service was great. Clean friendly place. With a decent menu. The fish was excellent the fries were a bit soggy. Big shout out to all of the servers who were pleasant and efficient.
Food is quite good, but customer service is a little slow. But I will give them the benefit of doubt do to the solar eclipse was going on at the time. I will update this review next time I go.
Decent fish in large pieces. Fries looked overcooked but were somehow still soggy and unsalted. Caesar salad was barely recognizable. My dinner for two cost over $70 and all I could manage to eat was the fish. I recommend driving down the road to The Fish Hut instead. Will never visit again.
We had takeout...it was hot... it was not greasy and it’s the best fish & chips we’ve had in years!
Fish and chips were average, but our scallop order seemed really small.
Fish & chips are great!!! Service is great too, very friendly!
I was a bit disappointed, A friend raved about how good they were and it was like they cooked the fish at noon and I picked it up at 4pm. It was so dried out and not even warm. A big disappointment
Always a great experience at this place. The serving size are massive. Good food and worth the price. Your classic fish and chips and must try chowder. Welcoming staff. My pet peeves—rude staff members but not here 5star service from halibut house. Cant recommend enough.
Good quality fish. Not greasy at all. Pricey on the salad as a substitute for chips on the second order we made. Almost the price of a full side salad. Portions are good. Will indulge again as a nice treat.
Awesome dinner worth every penny
Good food, nice folks.
Two fish + 1 chip special fed our fam of 3.
Excellent coleslaw. Good chips but portion too big. I ordered grilled halibut and it looked like a slab of roast beef. I prefer my fish to look like fish.
Breakfast was delicious
Fantastic. Walked in ordered the halibut fish and chips for takeout and was out of there in just over 5 min. They loaded the bag with tartar sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, vinegar. The fish to fry ratio was a little fry heavy but I ain’t complaining. Overall very happy and the fish was delicious.
Very good food very good service the fish and chips are wonderful very fresh and you could tell that the fries are hand cut.
Delicious, fast service
Delicious halibut with chips and salad. My wife lived the grilled halibut.
Great food, great staffs. Would recommended
Went in tonight, in the middle of the worst pandemic in a hundred years, to find the cook wearing his mask with his nose uncovered while cooking..When he turned around he would pull it up as per Halton healthcare guidelines only to pull it down again when his back was to the patrons. Manager was apparently ok with it. Won't be back since health and guidelines mean zero. What else are they doing??
Last night grand opening in Brantford for halibut house. I give this place one star for having the food ready. We paid 59.74 for 3 people to eat halibut n fries. We didn’t get the coleslaw wasn’t in the bag. We weren’t given a total on the phone so we had no idea of the prices. Just told one of 1piece halibut dinners would be half price. None of us could eat the halibut as it was far from flaky more like rubber. Fries were nothing special. Disappointing to pay 60.00 for okay fries , no coleslaw n rubbery halibut way over priced. Can’t see this place lasting too long. lol
Had Halibut Fish & Chips in the Park yesterday with my Niece Picked up at Noon, AMAZING fish & cooked to perfection, fries were soo good like homemade A bag of condiments Take out was Special I eat in there when open This place is worth the visit & great food The gal who came to the car with the food was super nice All around a great choice Treat yourself ????
Always good food and service. Really good value...
Light batter. Perfect, semi-dry fish. Really good.
Good take out service. Delicious fish and chips
Dinner
It is a wonderful place to eat breakfast and a fish dinner! Where else can you go and get breakfast for $3.95!! Sunday and Monday they have Haddock and chips for only $9.00! I recommend everyone try it out! You will be amazed of the service when you get there!!
Worst halibut i have ever had. Flat square dry barely battered frozen dry fries. $13.00 for a piece of dry fish...really?
The food and service were both great.
Lead, follow or get out of the way - Halibut House has chosen to lead, best F & C in the city now for sure, reasonable prices (fish tacos too) good portions - we dined in ... incredible service as well... and Hello!! they have Cheesecake factory desserts.
Noisy air system
Delicious fish & chips .... huge portions
Great fish and large portions for the money
Food was excellent! Service great, picked up my order exactly on time. My only criticism is they they were a bit skimpy on the French fries
Always great fish & chips!! Fantastic price too :)
Absolutely amazing food as always at this location
Last week was our first visit to halibut house,at that time the dinner was perfect,staff excellent, then we went back again on Wednesday and things changed drastically,we were left to find our own table, and get the attention of a waitress, still no menus, order finally put in. The fish and chips arrived and drinks, well the meal was not good at all the fish was from who knows, chips soggy and cold, sorry to complain like this but we don’t understand how the restaurant could change so much in such a short time, obviously you have lost a couple of customers, it’s a shame because like I said, the first experience was fantastic, the best fish and fries available any ware including Dover, hopefully you will pull up your socks, Garysmale @bell.net
The food was OK but greasy this time. The other issue was we ordered Dill Pickles as a starter and the brought the fish and chips out first. Very poor listening skills.
Low's is a good choice for lumber etc. The store is bright, clean, and well stocked. The lighting and bath fixtures are right up to date, and design. This store has a large selection of major appliances and guarantee the lowest price. Lumber and trim selection is good. Tool selection is excellent. The mill work area is fast, and courteous. For a big box store this is an excellent choice.
Good portion, good greasy food. Poor service.
Great spot for fish n chips with a wide selection. Less well known are the great breakfast deals. We'll be back!
I had the lunch special, halibut chips and slaw, 10.95. Good food and nice attentive service, I will return.
I recently gave Halibut house another try, and I was very pleased with the improvements they've made.
Love it here! Shout out to Kim and Micah for their great service!
Good food
The staff was very friendly and food is very Delicious
Great food cant wait to go back again
Haven't tried too much on the menu but what I have tried is great. Portions are amazing. You get the greasy small town experience in a fast food setting.
Awesome place to go for halibut! The French fry’s never seems to be cook enough tho.
This place is a hidden gem! Our favourite all day breakfast place! Best fish and chip deals -check ahead for the specials. And great prices on desserts. Drop by to visit with a friend or bring a group for a delicious affordable meal out!
Foods are good and price is reasonable. Thank you!!!
Great service! Breakfast was great and only $3.95 plus coffee. I would definitely go again.
This business is just 2 weeks old and already doing a great business. 8 oz Halibut and fries. Try them you will love the great food and brand new surroundings!!
Fantastic food!
We have been using this location on Appleby line from the time it opened a number of years ago but since the start of 2021 the standard has gone down as it seems the oriental lady has either retired or just left and new franchise owners have taken over. There is excessive grease on the chips which never happened before but we will try for a fourth time this year but if it does not improve we will just stop going and try the one further away from us.
Great food, quick service. Cannot recommend this place enough
One of the few places with options for small portions! The 3.49 breakfast is great: light, yet big enough to last till dinner.
Picked up two house specials and a extra Halibut. We are going to be eating for a couple of days. Huge portions and delicious. One of the best places for quality and quantity. My must go for fish and chips. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.
Delicious fish and chips. Breading is just right, not too greasy. Very generous portion of fish. Chips were excellent too. Will be my go-to for fish and chips from now on. Ordered delivery and the fish was still very crispy.
First timers and we all loved it. Large menu selection including breakfast. We had the fish and chips absolutely delicious. I liked the lightly batterd fish. Go for the Halibut lol. Definitely are new fish and chips restaurant. Definitely worth checking out. See you soon.
Amazing foods!!!!!! We will be back for sure,,,
Service
My wife brought home some of the fish and chips tonight for supper. I was not impressed by the fish, VERY greasy and did not seem to be very fresh. Fries were ok. I would have to think twice before eating there again.
Absolutely delicious. Service was excellent and so fast. I will go again, for sure.
First time here, ordered the Haddock Fish & Chips along with some coleslaw. VERY impressed. Food came quickly, is not salty, the fries taste awesome even when cold (which aint true for other establishments!), fish was fresh and a nice portion, and the coleslaw was perfect and tasted home made. The price was also excellent as a second meal was 50% off, not sure if thats a temporary promo or a permanent thing but it was a nice surprise on the wallet. Will come again!
Amazing! Had the Wednesday $10 Special! New favourite fish & Chips! Great Service and Awesome Taste! So many delicious fries too! Couldn't finish them all.
The food was okay . Great portion size. A little greasy but good. The waitresses are excellent. Someone in the kitchen had a cold and was coughing and sneezing. Sort of makes you wonder. During my meal they proceeded to walk through the restaurant with a cart filled with garbage and old greaser oil a couple of times. Not very appetising when your are eating a meal. Not very sanitary. That is my only real complaint maybe they need to check sanitation by laws.
Best fish ever. Cooked to perfection. Owner is friendly. Premises very clean. Good pricing
Well I'm also in customer service business but not in food. Reno's, where we work hard for our money but yet strive for customers satisfaction. Recently had take out lunch for two at a value of $35 with pops. A little on the costly for lunch but it was Friday. Me and coworker were un pleasantly surprised at the fact that we had one(1) peice of fish the size of my hand crammed in a small box over top fries that were under cooked. I can get that at McDonald's ( (fillet of fish combo). The fish was tasty but the experience of REAL fish and chips was not there!!!! No coleslaw no lemon wedge.... nothing else but that! im sorry that was not the real experience I was looking for...
Literally the best fish and chips I've ever had in my entire life ! The halibut, chips, coleslaw and Caesar salad are heavenly !!! Will be ordering from here from now on ☺️
Food is okay not some crazy good fish and chips but it's good for the money and they claim the fryer oil is changed daily.
Nothing special but good breakfast food for a great price, would recommend to anyone
Halibut excellent. Good quantity. Not greasy at all. Best halibut & chip I've had. Give it a solid 10.
Food was okay but the portions are very small compared to portions at other fish n chip places. I was extremely disappointed and will not be returning. Why would I spend $20 here for a tiny piece of fish and a small portion of fries, when I can go elsewhere and get a huge piece of fish and a huge portion of fries? At Halibut House, $20 gets me one mediocre meal. Anywhere else, $20 gets me two delicious meals. Oh yeah and one last thing, the gravy has a very weird taste. I do not recommend this place to anyone.
