REVIEWS OF The Original Just For The Halibut Taphouse & Grill IN Kawartha Lakes

Mamoun Hammoudah

Kelly Sillers

Love Love Love, it's perfection every time! BTW ask for Mary! We had many meals and all have been so good we keep going back.

Cindy Froud-Smith

Hubby & I visited The Original Just For The Halibut Restaurant in Bobcaygeon for lunch on Friday November 6 2020. Having researched local Fish & Chips, it was our mission to travel there to sample their food. This establishment is set up with outstanding precautions regarding current pandemic regulations, and we felt completely comfortable dining there. The atmosphere is great - low key and nostalgic music that was just right for us 60 year olds. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that their Fish & Chips (and onion rings/cole slaw) were some of the best we have ever had! The staff were friendly and very attentive, without being overly so. The price is reasonable considering the portion sizes, and the quality of food. Definitely will return and try many other delicious looking meal options as often as we can. Highly recommend to others.

Jessica Ali

The Greek salad was basically a plate of lettuce and the caesars were nothing special and cost $13.50 each. Not impressed. I'd go somewhere else.

Trevor Demain

Excellent fish and chips! Not soggy or overbattered. The fries are good and the aioli dips are delicious. Try the peanut butter pie for dessert with ice cream! The service is friendly as well. The restaurant interior is unique and cozy. Wonderful family run restaurant right in town centre. Would highly recommend.

Debora Figueiredo

#1 for a reason! This place was so lovely. Worth the trip ! The food was homey and delish. The best part is NOT the food it’s the incredible staff ! If you get a chance to meet the Bar Manager she’s a joy! The beef short rib poutine was her choice & did not disappoint. ????

Chris Kelly

Always great food and service. Have never had one complaint.

mike o

Amazing tasting food and service. Our server Sara really made our day with her outstanding service and treating us like we were her number one priority. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Varun Menezes

Ill start by saying the fish was delicious. Light batter and cooked well. The chips half were miserable though, overcooked, burned, soaked in oil and soggy. No flavour whatsoever. No included ketchup or tartar sauce as well so overall a very dry meal.

tristan rundle

Great food. Perfectly cooked scallops. Cold fries. Drink served wrong but super friendly and helpful staff remedied the mistake immediately. Wonderful place.

Shuraya Bhatti

One of the best halibut we ever had! Staff were super friendly and they are great with kids! Their sauteed scallops were amazing too! Definitely coming back!

Karlie McNab

Great food, even better service! Shout out to Sara! She was marvellous.

Ryan Weston

Great fish and chips. Fast and friendly service.

Katelyn Sanders

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The food was very good and the fish tasted fresh. The portions were large and the food was a good price. The only thing I didn't like about this restaurant was that it was pretty loud, but that can be expected because of how busy it was. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Ethan

Amazing, I love going here in the summertime.

Ryan Foliot (RyannFoliot)

The Best place to come for Halibut. never have to look at the menu. thats the reason i come.

RKS

Wonderful fish and chip joint. Nice cut fish and tasty chips. Staff is friendly and attentive. Price is reasonable considering the increase cost of halibut in general. If your in Bobcaygeon you should check out this place.

Leslie Cichuttek

Amazing staff, awesome food

Rick Chisholm

Despite COVID measures still being in place and dining in the parking lot, it was still great. The Halibut fish and chips was fantastic and the service was great. Place was packed, which is usually a good sign.

anna

The fish and chips are really quite good. We ate the crab cakes which were not particularly interesting nor flavorful. The service was very friendly and the beer choices terrific.

Debra Wright

Aww, the fish and chips was amazing and our server was beautiful and very sweet

İlayda Ergul

The best haddock and chips! However, we had a waitress serving to our table, couple of days ago while we were ordering fish and chips, she asked do you want gravy on top or side? We said sure on the side. Thinking it was a gravy for seafood …

Mark Fernando

Came to this restaurant with a group of 15 motorcyclists. Made a reservation before hand and they had our table ready for us when we arrived. This restaurant is much larger than the photos suggest. Service was great with our orders being taken promptly and lunch served pretty quickly considering the group size. They had an extensive beer menu with craft beer options as well. Happy with the halibut and chips I ordered as well.

Christa Reid-Seto

This is not just a fish and chip place, though the fish is amazing! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety in of the menu and can't wait to return to try some other options. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Karen Ma

This unassuming family friendly diner is actually supringly spacious inside. The staff here were fantastic and made you feel so welcomed, the food was great with generous portions and atmosphere was very homey, like you were having Sunday dinner at grandpa's place. They also have a take- out window an extensive beer list. The crab and lobster cake is a must order! The only thing that fell short for me was the fish chowder, it was too thick and a little bland.

Angie

Sept 5,2020 - Food was good. Had fish and chips. Not a fan of the chips because they used shoestring fries. Overall the place was nice and clean. Staff were friendly

Tim Armaly

Friendly staff and good food. Bit pricey

B & B Services

This is a top notch place to eat! All the food is great, particularly the fish and burgers. The staff is super friendly. We go here weekly for takeout. I highly recommend it!

Run Down

The food is good the service is good it's time to portion seem like they're little smaller than what they have been in the past prices aren't bad. Will definitely go there again.

Barry Chapman

We had their burger with in house ground beef , rings for me and fries with the other. It was delicious and filling. We had Mad Dog brewery beer , also delicious.

Nicole

Love this place!

Ferozan Nasiri

My friend and I went here over the weekend after visiting a Wolf Research and Education Centre. The food and service was amazing. We felt very welcomed and our server was so helpful with helping us pick the best food options that evening. I had the seafood Alfredo and my friend had the Halibut fish with onion rings (you can substitute fries with it) which came with their amazing homemade sauce. I really admired how they purchase their food items from local farmers in the area. This is definitely worth the place to visit if you’re in the area!

Colin McSweeney

Excellent. !

Nick O'Hara

Great burgers

Maggie Bradamore

Was very busy which is nice to see! Amanda was a great server and our food was good.

Richard Carter

We had lunch here today and can honestly say the fish & chips were amazing. Puts many fish & chip shops back in the UK to shame ! The servers were friendly and helpful and the portions generous. Would definitely recommend and will be back again for sure.

Eugene Cheung

Nicely done patio for the covid. Great food, great service. Amazing halibut.

Amanda Phair

All these years and still amazing fish and chips. Can't beat the fries and that batter is perfect. Portions were good and service was excellent around 2:30 on a Saturday. The burger was ok but did look quite dark pink in the middle. Apparently its cause of the freshness of the meat.

Paul Selby

Terrific food, reasonable prices. Halibut was light and flakey with a lovely batter. Chips were tasty and substantial. Lobster and crab cakes were surprisingly good. Buffalo shrimp was very tasty with a nice amount of kick. Definitely recommended!

Graeme Boyd

Been coming here for more than 20 years. The fish and chips is just wonderful and the staff are so friendly and helpful.

Sam Smith

Great service, great food (fish and burger) and at a decent price for the portion sizes. Repeat customer, will be back again.

Jayce Lee

We went to visit some family in the area and stopped here for some lunch. We were 2 families with 7 kids between us ranging from 15 years old to 5. There was something for everyone from - halibut bites for the kids to small and larger halibut portions for the adults! They even had fish tacos that were delish! Upon asking our kids if they liked their lunch, they replied "no we didn't like it....we LOVED it! ????. Such friendly and warm staff. We will definitely be returning when we are back in the area.

G R

If you don't stop at just for the halibut you've made a a massive error in judgement. This is by far the fish in chips I've ever had. There new back patio is amazing and our server Mary was outstanding. If your in near or even an hour away you need to stop by!

Kayla Preston-Lord

Had our first post-quarantine restaurant meal here! So happy with our choice. We split a 2-piece haddock and chips as well as the popcorn shrimp appetizer (with buffalo sauce!); sososo pleased with both. And we are picky, cheap and hard to please! Also drank the Orange Creamsic Ale -- highly recommend. Relaxed, friendly vibes, perfect spot for fish and chips. Will definitely return next time I'm in Bobcaygeon ????

Steve Laing

Was a pleasant surprise! Patio was great for a hot night service was the best in Bobcaygeon thanks Mary!. Food was great! Much more than fish and chips!!

Valerie Young

Great fish. Very accommodating. Will definitely eat here again

John Lawrence

Fast service. Cordial staff. Great food.

Stephanie Fong

Always a great meal when we come here.

Ann Bennett

My friends and I dined at Just For The Halibut on Saturday, April 26th, 2014. We were a table of 4 women. One of us (not me) was celebrating her 50th birthday. The service was impeccable as was the food. We have all eaten there before and enjoyed it. We had an assortment of appetizers (I really recommend the escargot!) and various entrees. They were all excellent. I personally had the bacon wrapped "senior" steak (5 oz.) and it was cooked to perfection. I would say that the steak was up to the same standard as any really good steakhouse. We had no room for dessert but had a specialty coffee to complete our meals. The staff put a candle in my friend's specialty coffee (it was whipped cream topped - REAL whipped cream) and sang Happy Birthday to her. This restaurant is not inexpensive but the ambiance, food and service make it a very worthwhile dining experience. I recommend that you make reservations. I will be returning there again for my next special outing. I am sure it will be just as memorable.

Jane Coulman

Always enjoy our meals and surroundings at Just for the Halibut. Food is delicious and staff are great. Lots of beer on tap.

Michael Babcock

Incredibly good food from stuffed sole to scallops, delicious pasta, curry and even an excellent steak. Went with the whole family, everyone left full and happy and impressed with the food. Per plate cost was around seventeen dollars most of which were seafood based.

John B

I really like this place. The food is always good and the staff friendly

Cindy Mitchell

What an amazing place! The decor is gorgeous & staff will tell you who the family pictures are on the wall along with the history. Upscale feel with a ma & pop atmosphere. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable & go above & beyond. A member of our party has a severe food allergy & our server Mary talked to the kitchen staff to find out exactly what would be suitable. The food is outstanding. Having lived in England, finding authentic fish & chips is no easy feat. Except if you come here, that is. The halibut is cooked o perfection, the Yorkshire pudding with beef is gorgeous. Portions are perfect. Absolutely love this place! Thank you very much for a great meal.

Dave Spence

Good, but not as good as it used to be many years ago. Don't get me wrong, it's still good eats.

Gloria Barnes

Was not impressed with the service. Made reservation at 4:30 was promptly seated. Not busy at all but the waitress seemed to be rushing and not really paying any attention to us. Several attempts to take our order which was not difficult. Ordered vegetables as a side dish the parsnip and carrots were over cooked and the parsnips had rotten spots. The waitress rushed by several times without checking how our dinner was. Had to request butter from another waitress walking by and told her about the vegetables. Our waitress finally stopped by and my husband asked for coffee. Still waiting for the coffee, we ended up paying the tap. Then the waitress finally said she was brewing coffee and apologized for the vegetables. She asked why we didn't say anything and we responded you kept rushing by. Usually we love this restaurant but not this time

Janet Lusted

Best fish n chips and coleslaw..great staff 100%

N H (Sunflower1003)

What a fabulous place to dine! Food was excellent and the service was very good considering how busy it was. Our party of 5 were seated fairly quickly without a reservation. Atmosphere is cozy, place is actually bigger than it looks from outside. Food was hot and delicious. We had haddock and fries, cod and fries, & Caesar salad. Sara our server was humorous and friendly. Prices are reasonable and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Definitely will return. The picture is their beer list...17 beers.

Andrew Gheorghe

So here's the scoop. I'm not a big fan of cooked fish, nor do I like fish and chips all that much. However it's been months since I've had it and I'm always curious to try new things. So I went to a fish and chips place advertising its Halibut in its name and since I have never tried Halibut, I figured I might as well try it... Result: Incredible. It is now the following morning and my mouth is watering writing this review.. patrons beware of following day extreme cravings. Outstanding Restaurant

Matt McKenzie

This place would be better if it was ever open. Who closes over the long weekend? It's asinine. Just close and let someone else open something that services the community.

Cassandra Barrey-Roby

Great service, great prices and our waitress Mary was amazing!! The food was delicious, the fish was exceptional and their cheesecake is to die for!!

Hasan Riaz

Stopped here for a quick lunch on our way to Gravenhurst. There were plenty of tables available. We were seated and served quickly. The halibut was a bit on the dry side, but still pretty good. The butter chicken curry poutine was excellent! The craft beer flight was a nice way to enjoy a taste of the local brews of Kawartha region.

Danielle T

There is no place like Just For The Halibut. Delicious food! Super awesome staff.

Sylvia Dickens

First visit was this summer. Unprepared for the fabulous service and food. Driving from Newmarket tomorrow just for the fish and chips, they're that good! We love this relaxing place, they're so friendly.

Tyler Macmillan

Nice crispy batter on a good sized hunk of cod. Fries cooked crispy upon request. Good slaw. Nice quick lunch snack, but I would come for dinner too!

Beverly Smith

Best place for halibut and fries for sure!!!!! A little bit of a wait, bit worth it. Friendly staff, clean place, good size portions.

Marlene Burt

Great place to eat. The best fish and chips I have had in a long time. Our waitress was hilarious. She was joking around with us. Forgot to get her name but she told us she was up at 2am to go catch the fish.... So you will know who you are. Will definitely come back when we are in the area again.

Javier D

Nice place for a quiet dinner. Good food, and good beer selection. Try the desserts

nick Whitefield

Great fish and a good price

David Ribovski

Simply bad. Frozen fries. Overcooked hard liver. Tiny tastless fish. Totally bad rice. Strangest pickup system ever. Everything needs to be done twice. Phone order then instore repeat of the same order. I never give such bad rating but this place needs new owner.

Laurie Kane

Great food. Great service. Very Covid friendly. Highly recommend!!

Destroyer 2075

Great food and amazing staff.

Sam Critchley

We had a very good evening meal at Just for the Halibut after having been recommended it in the hotel we stayed in (Three Islands Motel). The service was friendly, the decoration was interesting, and the place was busy. The food was good, with the highlight being their peanut butter burger, which sounds weird, but was absolutely delicious (which is basically how it's described on the menu). The children (3 of them) loved their food too.

Silvi E

Loved this place, the service was outstanding and the food was very tasty. Delishhhhh!!! I would go back just for the service alone, but like I said, the food is awesome as well

Michael Yim

Very nice Halibut n Chips, Liver and Onion a bit dry, but still tasty, good serving temperature and presentation. Good eat!

Mike H

Go get a two piece fish and chip. Sit in the back say hi to Mary and Sharon and enjoy great small town food and service.

Kenneth Arcinas

Great food but always busy. Best to make reservation.

Johnny Kawartha

Very good fish and chips. The staff are super friendly and fun. We really enjoyed our dinner, despite the ridiculous rules they have to follow imposed by our panicky government. The claim of best onion rings in town was certainly lived up to.

Rohit Bhutani

Great meal. Great service. Great location. Ticks all! Thank you for having us.

Bill Vassos

Very friendly staff and excellent fish and chips!

Jill Shuster

Delicious food and excellent service! We came here as a family and enjoyed the fried pickles and halibut and chips. They have a great kids’ menu too. Very clean and well-spaced tables on the large patio for Covid. We’ll be back again!

Zdenek & Susanne Rokos

It's the inside that matters. It doesn't look very attractive from outside but inside is a different story. The halibut is great, dessert are delicious and service is friendly and quick, even on a busy day.

Eli Freedman

Excellent food!! Great Staff!! Get the Haddock,,,,,FANTASTIC!!

Allie Margeson

Good food, friendly staff in cozy family friendly restaurant. Wish there was a patio for the summer.

Justin Adinolfi

Loved the food, however, beware.. this place does not like sharing. The very thing we learned in kindergarden. So much so, if u plan to share a portion u will be charged a “sharing tax” of $2.50. A first in all my travels.....

Emily Lewis

Best place in town to eat! Delicious food with generous portions. Also great service. A must visit.

Shirley Simon

Amazing fish and chips!! Best I've ever had! Great funny, friendly staff!!! And yes super clean, can't wait to go back!!

Brandon M

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere! I cant recommend this restaurant enough!

Ashley

we enjoyed the space here so much that we came twice over the weekend. Once for a local craft beer and an appetizer and then we followed it up the next day with halibut and chips. It was really really good. My only recommendation would be is to have an homemade tartar sauce to go with the delicious fish.

Eric White

Absolutely delicious, haven't had bad food there yet! Try their sweet potato fries and their key lime pie

Kevin Huckell

Best fish and chips I have had in a long time. Definitely we will be back

Derry Fairweather

Great fish and chips.

Brian champagne

That patio was really nice our waitress was amazing food was great

lesley ford

We just had dinner on their beautiful patio. Was great to enjoy the pleasant service and the food was delicious as always. Awesome job by everyone!

Lorena Pio

Went there for dinner with some friends. Not as good as we expected. We had been there the previous year and enjoyed the food. This time not so much. Quality and presentation not great.

Lee Andrews

My wife and I love this place she has a fish dish because it's a seafood restaurant and I have the beef Yorkshire pudding ...yeah, in a seafood restaurant. Highly recommend this place in Bobcaygeon Ontario. Great beef????????

Lynda Draves

Great service and food. A nice spot away from the crowds and street noise.

Dylan T

Have eaten here a few times, and really the food is pretty over priced for the quality and service recieved. From a chicken cesar wrap that is the bare minimum to be a chicken cesar wrap, to fish and chips where the fish was dripping in …

Ruth Gerth

Ordered take out because of pandemic, fish was very dry, batter hard and only lukewarm, fries cold. Was really looking forward to it, then disappointment.

Rosie Campbell

Nice place and good food.

Joyce Head

Fish and Chips were plentiful and excellent. Large portions of thick halibut. Great spicy Caesars too

Dave Chalmers

Great place . Friendly people . Good food and drinks

Bradley Van Gerven

One word: Fantastic. After the Festival of Trees we were looking for somewhere to eat but the first two places we went by were full. Stopped off at Just for the Halibut and it was full but luckily a table was just leaving. From the outside the place looked unremarkable but we were hungry and we had 6 adults and two kids so we weren't driving around any longer. Immediately impressed by our server. Super friendly and down to earth. Very prompt with getting menus, drinks and food out. The menu was impressive on its own. The variety was staggering. I figured at first glance it was going to be a limited menu fish and chip place but I was sorely mistaken. The food was incredible. I've never had battered fish so properly cooked. Flaky, light and perfectly cooked meat. Beer menu was impressive with lots of craft variety on tap. The server got beer out way quicker than any restaurant I've been to in recent memory. 100% will go back soon. There's so much more on the menu that I need to try. You won't be disappointed.

Karen Abram

Wow! What an amazing place to enjoy a great lunch. Food is delicious, service is wonderful. Thanks everyone for our usual great day. Yes, we're regulars, and will always be. Thanks guys.

Trevor Brumwell

Made a special dish for the step mother with diet restrictions. Top notch sea food. You should come here just for the halibut. Very attentive wait staff. Worth waiting should a line form during dinner.

Grant Williams

1st time here. Great food in my take out. Will definitely be back.

Keith Donnell

Awesome place to eat. Lots of beer on tap. Staff is always friendly, variety of different food choices and we like supporting it because it is a family-owned local business.

JEN W

Wow! This place was amazing. We had the haddock and chips. The fish was incredible. So fresh and melts in your mouth. The chips were great too. Just enough coleslaw on the side. Deserts are greats too. We tried the peanut butter pie and deep fried cheesecake. Delish ! Our server Ali was so friendly. I can’t wait to go back. Don’t forget to make a reservation or you’ll be waiting!

Sherry Wilde

CoVid measures in place, adequate spacing, great staff, excellent food!

Sof Demi

Very welcoming & casual restaurant. We had the Deep Fried Pickles (great!), Halibut & Chips, and Haddock & Chips. Fish was very fresh and tender, I personally couldn't tell the difference between the two except for its shape. Batter was a bit too greasy for my liking. Chips were yummy. Coleslaw was fantastic! Keep in mind the portions of fish are pretty big.

Sajjad Syed

The staff are nice and the restaurant is clean etc, but the food is basically a fancy hospital meal in a nicer plate. Unbelievably bland. The local demographic seems to love it though, so if that’s you, bon appetit.

Noel Michael

Wonderful staff. You might think it's a bit pricy for the family but the amount of food and the quality justifies the price. If you are paying individually you will appreciate it even more as the food is fantastic and if you get the double order you can share between two. Totally Loved the food. The staff and the atmosphere. I definitely recommend the place and will be going back next time I am in the area. Special shout out to our server Sarah. Oh and the 4 layer chocolate cake is amazing. Yeah that's with an extra zing.

Carol Saucier

Expensive for dinner for two, good food

Renee Flynn

You never disappoint we were stuffed and happy, thank you ????

Michael B

They somehow managed to make halibut rubbery. Add extra for onion rings, as in about one onion, charge $35 before tip and tax for about $3 worth of ingredients encrusted in industrial grade batter, and you've got the picture.

Jessica Linnane

Just had the BEST fish and chips I’ve ever had in my life. Everything was amazing. From the draft beer to the cod cakes, halibut, Fries with AMAZING gravy! Everything Highly recommended by their server, Caitlin, who provided excellent service. Cottage is right around the corner so we will DEFINITELY be back soon. This is the first review I’ve ever made and not “just for the halibut”. This place is awesome! Thanks guys! We’ll be back soon!

Cindy Comtois

We love it here the food is great and so are the people that work there.. great place to bring your family.. thanks George

nicole foster

Enjoyed a late lunch . Great food and service

Greg Thurlow

After 5 years coming to the Bob we are always told to visit this restraunt. We where not disappointed. Staff was funny and excellent service. Food was exceptional. Servings large. Will stop again Greg Ottawa

Jeff Rogers

Best fish and chips ANYWHERE.....

Gord P

Great mussells appy and halibut for lunch.

Anne lori

Thee best fish and chips/ pouting I've ever had. Made this my weekly treat. You won't regret it. The staff and owner are the sweetest of ppl and really do care for the ppl and it's shown among with the great food they come out with, and wonderful conversation.

Konstantin P

Very fresh Greek salad, nicely served with the Vinegrette dressing on the side, just as we like it, and that's even without asking. Just the right size portions. Cageon (cajun style) cod and seafood stuffed sole were very tasty. Nice selection of beer on the tap, including local ones. And yes, great service, too.

Argirie Alixandra Kontos

Unreal halibut fish and chips (and onion rings!) Thank you for your delightful service, Sara!

Jane Jones

Had a fantastic meal. Enjoyed our halibut and chips. Reasonably priced. Great staff who are very pleasant. Only thing I would say is to cut back on the amount of chips or have an order that would say less chips. Fish and a few that some other locations have. Next time in Bobcaygeon we will definitely go back

Ryan Woods

I was not expecting the best Halibut, Chips and Onion Rings I've ever had here. Try the homemade tarter sauce! I'll be back and I highly highly recommend this place! Very cozy too.

Tony Mail

If you are in the surrounding area i recommend you visit this place. The fried fish taste great and i will visit this place again when in the area. Fyi - Down the streets is one of locks and swing bridges for the boats to cross. So, eat your lunch and then take a quick walk down the street to watch the small boats pass by. There is an ice cream shop right on corner before you reach the locks.

Sean Bennett

I miss going to this great family dinning place. Next time I am back your way I will be coming in. Cheers and happy holidays to you all.

James Booth

Good food

Kevin

Time and time again this place never disappoints. Best fish and chips in the Kawartha's. Kids love the Dino nuggets from the kids menu, and I love the large selection of beers on Tap. If you are in the Bobcaygeon area, don't miss a visit here. You can thank me later.

Norm Bertaut

Great halibut, very, very enthusiastic wait staff!!

Cadence Nakashima

Very good food. Was surprised at the amount of choices that were not fish and kids menu was good. More costly than a regular diner type restaurant but good food and lots of variety!

Steve Ross

Staff were good, but food not so much. Ordered the first mates plater and the shrimp and a scallops were lukewarm to say the least. One very small piece of fish(which was good)and a lot of greasy fries. Also ordered calamari which were over cooked to the point they were almost burnt, and Mac & cheese bites which were good. They seem to do fish and chips well but struggle with the other items on their menu.

Lyn Averill

Great little place. Very nice fish and chips, not at all greasy. Wait staff was courteous and our order was served very quickly. Definitely will return

Marie Sternberg

Lovely meal on the patio tonight. Great halibut, perfect batter, delicious coleslaw, and fabulous friendly service! Cute patio, immaculately clean. Thanks, we will be back, from Donnie and Marie in the tow truck

Celeste Carnevale

Amazing food big portions freindly and fun staff good price cant wait to eat here again

Linda Ottenbrite

Just picked up 2 haddock and fries for supper. The food is excellent and the service fantastic, So wonderful having such a great restaurant just down the road. We love to support our local restaurants, Hats off to the staff at Just For The Halibut, keep doing what you are doing, you! Highly recommend!

Alison Cronyn

We had an amazing dinner here. Their burgers are incredible and fresh made to order. Mary was our server and she was top notch! Our first trip to Bobcaygen and we will be back for another burger for sure.

Burnsy Larry

geat place every one got too try it great service yum yum

art burt

Great and very friendly service. The halibut was the best I've had in a long time

Kevin Donovan

Absolutely incredible! I had the marinara mussels (special feature) followed by the First Mate's Platter (battered halibut, sautéed shrimp and scallops) and it was the best meal I have had in a very long time! Everything cooked perfectly, amazing staff, great atmosphere...this place fires on all cylinders. Our server, Tara, was amazing and the manager, Julia, was just awesome. 5 Stars all the way

Kevin Mccarty

Awesome people and Awesome food, you gotta eat here????

Zaha Doom

Fish was perfect today. Very fresh, fried crisp. Chips were also excellent, fried to perfection. Was the best plate of fish and chips I've eaten here ever, and I've eaten here often.

Jenn Turner

Love this place. The food is always good and the customer service is always top notch!

Elaine Moore

Just For The Halibut is our favourite restaurant. We go there for the excellent food and service and celebrate every special occasion there.

Cory Crete

Pricey but worth it, friendly, courteous, clean; you can watch the cooks prep your meal and the portions are fair. The only reason I knocked it down to 4 stars is their gravy was bland, no flavour at all which in our opinion wrecked our poutine. That said, the fries by themselves are fantastic, as was the fish and the burgers. All I can vouch for is after outbreak, the prices are expensive; keep away from the gravy it will be worth it; we'd like to go back again soon. Sorry no pics, we took the food to the beach and it was a bit windy that day so we were more focused on eating than savouring memories.

Charlene Nulty

First time. Ordered take out. Friday night. PACKED great food. Good serving size.

Justin Jennings

AMAZING food everything we order was outstanding. Staff is cheerful. Highly recommend

Terry Millard

Excellent food, prices climbing, service great

George Olds

Great halibut, generous size, with crispy chips + slaw. Other half had the pickerel also substantial, corn meal instead of batter. 7 tables in the patio behind the place (with take-out out front). Also parking back there too. Lovely lunch. Will go back in the fall.

Yvonne Clark

Excellent service and the fish and chips were way more than I could eat. Highly recommended.

Kim Ingall

The best fish and chips I've had in a long time. An extensive menu of both seafood and other foods. And friendly efficient service as well.

Le Wang

We paid $8 for onion rings, got 4 medium rings, 4 very tiny inner rings. Unfortunately, we were so hungry that they were all gone before the waitress came around and we could ask. Her response was something like "don't you wish they were endless?" hmmm. They need better quality control. Food was decent for fried fare otherwise.

jineen des vignes

Great food! Great service! great staff! Delicious Old Dog Brewing company beer too!

Natasha Ronaldson
