This Fish Shop belongs to the category of Fish & chips restaurant.
Came here with my mom for the first, she went to high school with the owner and has been asking me to get food with her. Enjoyed the fish and chips but ate most of her landlubber veggie burger as it was the best veggie burger I’ve ever had. I will definitely recommend to all my friends!
Best pulled pork poutine and definitely recommend the chowder soup! Love the prices too!
The fish batter was most likely overmixed, thus giving it a gummy texture. The fries were also too crispy, and tasted like they had been made the day before. Not a great experience.
Favorite Place to Eat.
Outstanding service with absolutely delicious food. The halibut burger is worth dying for. I highly recommend this place.
Was delicious. And I'm even happier now that everyone is forced to wear a mask! Safety first!
If you want old school fish and chips, from a place that specializes in fish and chips, you have to eat here. It is a bucket list kind of place, seriously, go now!
Happy that this place is still in business. I remember fondly stopping for ice cream at the Galley on a summer's walk back from the beach. The fish and chips is top tier, as is the poutine! Long live the Willows Galley!
Cute little corner street fish and chip shop. A few picnic tables outside and some bar chairs inside. Delicious food!
Delicious food! Delightful atmosphere!
Great fish and chips, very traditional, a neighbourhood favourite. Walk to nearby beach to enhance an already great experience.
Best Fish and Chips in town.
Love the Galley fish and chips in Estevan Village. Great local business that is so family friendly. You can either take your food down to Willows Beach or the little park nearby and have a picnic. Locals say it’s the best fish and chips in Victoria- and they wouldn’t be wrong.
Expensive but very good fish
Best fish & chips place on the island.
Two "Chief's Plates" are pretty filling for the whole family. Lots of fries, okay-sized Halibut pieces, coleslaw and some Tartar Sauce with a Indian curry note. I really like how the batter as more dried out and wasn't dripping oil from the fry. Good stuff if in the Estevan 'hood.
Great tasting burgers and fish. Huge amounts of chips. Great staff and service!!
We meant to try this place sooner.... My wife and I tried the fish & chips. They specifically asked if we wanted cutlery and condiments. We were close to a park where we were going to eat the snacks. They forgot the cutlery and napkins... which we only discovered after driving for 10 minutes to find somewhere to park and eat. I was furious(yeah, I know, first world problem...but still....) knowing that the fried foods would rapidly deteriorate from that point as it gets cold and turns gelatinous. I was mad because I knew we were a 20 minute drive back home before we would get to partake and that was going to be a ruined $38 meal. So, 30 minutes after getting our food... had an absolutely delightful meal experience. My 2pc COD was still warm, cooked perfectly, firm and the batter didn't slough off into a ball of goo that a lot of places deliver upon. The fries were delicious. The Cole slaw was amazing with the dill. I feel the slaw could use a splash of acid, so next time I will squeeze some of the lemon into it. This review was on track to be a 2 star. But, the food quality was enanthema that promises an immaculate future experience. I enjoyed my meal, and even more importantly am even more excited to return!
Excellent chips, good size piece of cod. Tartar sauce is... unique. Fantastic service and very short wait.
Such a special place. The fries are gigantic, coleslaw is fresh and ice cold and the setting is perfect: one block from Willows beach. They have picnic tables out front and the employees all seem happy!
Had the best fish burger! And staff were really friendly. Hired a bike and rode there then around the bay! Recommend as a good spot to break away from town centre!
Superb place
I’ve been coming here for 20+ years. Great fish & chips
First visit to Willows Galley and all I can say is wow! Great food, good service and a must stop if you visit Oak Bay!
Fish was good, light batter but the chips were soggy. I've been there three times now and the fish is always good but not the chips. Friendly staff
(Translated) pretty kiosk with a great fish and chips (Original) grazioso chioschetto con un ottimo fish and chips
This place is as good as it was 10 and 20 years ago. I popped in on Saturday and got some really great fried oysters.
Best in town.
Good but disappointed with use of frozen breaded prawns and scallops.
Great burgers
Love the fish and chips. Best in the area. New owner has improved the food a lot.
Nice fish & chips, cook to order good value.
Local, Fresh, Delicious ~ Dave & Crew really know how to dish up a plate of Fish n' Chips ! Seafood is ON the Menu ~ Whether your prefer Halibut, Cod, Oysters, Prawns or Scallops to go with your Fries ~ the Galley has it ! They also offer really decent Burgers ~ including Chicken, Oyster and Veggie. The Blackbeard (aaarrghghhhh) ~ is a pulled Pork & Apple sandwich , a true 'mouthful of Goodness' on a Kaiser bun ~ ooohhhh ~ Wait now, are we in Montreal ? ~ the Poutine, the Pulled Pork Poutine is Delicieux ! N'est Pas ? If the above doesn't get your taste buds going, you might include one or more of the following ~ Onion Rings, Hot Dogs, Chowder, Chicken Strips, Coleslaw, Milkshakes, Soft mmmmmmm Icecream, to your List ~ and see what happens ~ lol :)) I guess you've figured it out by now ~ Dave & Crew are a Delicious , Local Seafood Galley ~ who consistently put Fresh Fish on your plate ~ and a Tastey Flavour on your palate ! ~ Nice one Dave & Crew ~ Closed Monday and Tuesday
Food is great, service is not.
If customer service and quality food is important to you, than this is must-do for anyone visiting Oak Bay. After discovering this hidden gem last year, I've enjoyed every experience I've had there. Their little shop can occasionally get busy, but it's always worth the wait. The batter used on the fish, the tartar sauce, and the british-style chips have to be my favourite parts about the food, but I don't want to discount the burgers as they are just as tastylicious.
Good food, good price, kids meal was perfect
Great fish and chips
Best fish and chips on the island hands down.
Best halibut and chips in Victoria. And really nice people.
I've driven by for years but stopped for lunch today, and I'm glad I did. The food was fresh and hot and yummy... without a really long wait. They have several picnic tables or you could take your meal or ice cream to the beach, just a block away. The staff are very friendly too!
I ordered the 2 pieces of a Halibut Meal, comes with fries and slaw. It was a bit pricy but you get a lot of food, definitely enough for two people. They put a little curry in the batter and I've never had it that way and have to say I really liked it. Excellent fish and chip shop.
Some of the best fish and chips I've had ????
Great food and friendly service
The burgers were really good! Their pulled pork poutine was a little burnt... Overall good food
Best fish and chips on this planet
Great prices, awesome ice cream, and good fries too. You get a lot for what you pay
It was okay but not spectacular.
Love these guys but they have really awkward business hours and they literally close at dinner time. What the what? That being said, The First mate plate + mikshake = heaven if you're willing to eat dinner @ 5:30.
A gem of a place. A fish and chips like you’ve never tasted. They use sourdough starter in their batter and it’s an umami delight for your tastebuds. Also- singles! Oysters, scallops, fried by the unit for a couple bucks. A MUST! Watch for tricky opening hours though (covid…).
Great neighbourhood fish & chip stop...and soft icecream!!
Decent food for good prices. Set up well for COVID-19 too!
Good food, large portions, and great service. They were very accommodating and helpful with my son's allergies even when they were flat out busy. Would definitely recommend.
This is the spot. Been the spot since forever.
the best fish and chips... so good, such nice people and great service
Great fish
abdul
Awesome authentic fish and chips!
I like the coffee a lot..That's all I've had so far but the food looks good and the place smells good so I will be back
Kid I was babysitting puked after eating some ice cream but was completely unrealated to the ice cream and 100% related to being a kid
The halibut fish (and chips) are to die for!
Well worth the lineup
Pretty good! Really fresh well cooked fish at a fair price. Tarter sauce is great! Chowder was a disappointment though. All those ingredients and it just taste like cloves?
I love that these guys go fishing every week and then prepare what they catch. FOR YEARS. so fresh and delicous
The galley isn't cheap but it's still good quality fish and chips.
iv lived in Victoria my entire life and every single fish an chip shop has totally changed for the worse except for this place, this place still has the same big blocks of local halibut and the thick cut fries are better than New York fries.
Fresh and tasty. Too bad the fries are not cooked separately so my daughter (GF intolerance) can have some...but great quality, great staff!
This fish and Chip shop.....and many other delicious treats, has been a staple in the Estevan area since the 80s. Great newish owner's, it's a ma and pop shop offering great food, kind words and friendly smiles. Even if it's behind a mask you can tell. Say hello to David for me pls.
Best milkshakes I think ive ever had! The only thing is the good takes quite a while!
I’ve been here a few times and while it isn’t the best fish and chip shop I’ve been to, it is more than solid. It has a great history and is located in picturesque Estevan. Beaches and parks are a short walk in just about every direction making this a perfect summer takeout dinner. Will definitely be going back again and again. Keep up the good work!
Got the halibut fish and chips and it was amazing. Perfectly cooked halibut with an crispy coating. Well worth the line. Large portion for price! Counting down the days till I can return!
Make sure to ask what the total is BEFORE you finalize your order. You will be surprised at how much they charge.
Very good fish and chips at reasonable prices and quick service
A pleasant place to stop. The halibut was a little overcooked, making the batter coating a little hard to cut through, but the halibut itself was tasty. The fries were fresh-cut and the coleslaw was fresh and crunchy. We will probably be back when we're in the area.
Fantastic fish meals in a nice peaceful neighborhood
Fish was great a little small garter sauce had a strange flavour
Loved this neighborhood restaurant, great food and friendly staff.
Best fish and chips and yummy curry tartar sauce! Won't go anywhere else.
Best ???? n chips in Victoria
What a great place. Our family enjoyed fish and chips, a fish wrap, and kids grilled cheese. We were all impressed and cant wait to go back. One thing that stood out to me was that the kids meals were made with the same quality as the adult meals. So many places throw together cheap junk and call it a kids meal, this place does not....great quality and great taste.
I am addicted to their food. Had their cod hamburger (grilled and so dlish) and fried scallops!
Always amazing food and the workers are always super nice.
Service
Willows galley has some of the best Fish and Chips on the southern island. It's nowhere near as big of a tourist trap as some of the other places in town, which is great as there isn't a lot of room to sit. If you're looking to take your food away though, this place is the bomb. Call ahead, order up and it'll be hot and ready and wrapped for you to take away. The portion sizes are ridiculous. The coleslaw, tarter sauce and batter is all made in house with love and it shows.
Fish tastes like fish not oil. Chips taste like potato not fish.
Nice little store and very busy. Even for Sunday night. Only accept take out order due to Covid.good ice cream too
Meal type
Good service, good value and really good fish and chips. I'd say best in Victoria!
Unique experience. Well organized and good food. Felt like i went back in time to the 50's.
Great burgers and old school fish and chips
I came by half an hour before close and although their doors were open they wouldn't serve me.
Tastey fish, seafood & chips @ reasonable prices w/friendly service.
They have the best food in the country, always busy and active, its still as good as it always is, even during the covid!
Excellent quality Fish and Chips. Kiddy Cones are still a $1 I believe.
The Best all around Great Staff and tremendous Food (Outstanding really)
We went for a walk on willows beach and stopped here for a bite. They were so busy (friday at 6pm) that it took 30 minutes to get our order. It was totally worth the wait! Hubby said it's the best fish and chip he's had in a long time!!! I loved the atmosphere.
Wow! Had the take away fish and chips yesterday. The fish was moist and i would say the batter was amazing!! I would love to know what they put in it! It had a body and flavour like none other. Well done folks!
We were surprised by how quickly our food was ready and it was super fresh and tasty too. There was a line around the corner but it moved quickly as most people seemed to be buying ice cream which didn't affect the kitchen.
Good food but horrendously expensive
Delicious classic fish and chips.
Perhaps the best cod burger I've had, will return and reccomend!
Bad experience... Don't recommend this place there fish had the worste batter ever and the halibut tasted funny .The young kids working there were rude .customer service no longer exist.. do yourself a favor and go Somewhere else
best poutine in victoria!!
We waited FOURTY MINUTES for our food.. very busy on a Saturday evening in the Spring. Normally I’d frown upon this and say it’s ridiculous but they’re all working very hard and the food is PHENOMENAL.. I have not had food that good in awhile. Very worth it and will definitely rave about it!
The friendliest staff and the most amazing food. Best place ever! Must go!
Great food. Always blown away by the fish and chips. Great tartar sauce. Great service. And only a few minutes walk to the ocean. A must.
Little pricey.. but good and hot .
Ordered a piece of fish, large fries (well done) and dessert and it was great. Huge portion on the fries. Very happy.
Best halibut burger in town. Ask for a Neptune super pepper.
Quaint little place with good fish and chips! Sit inside or out.
Very nice staff but not the fish n chips I remember as a kid. Prefer beer batter not sour dough batter.
They bang out the best Fish and Chips in a timely Manor. Always friendly and smiling.
Locally owned great little fish and chip shop. Great staff and food. The owner is very patient with the little ones and makes an extra effort with the customers. This place is a gem.
Best burgers on the island.
Good fish and chips place, prawns, classic and oysters are great as well. Thank you
Such a great accidental find. Walked by this street and originally wanted to stop for ice cream, got hot dogs and drinks instead and was delicious. Very friendly staff, reasonable prices, and such a cool little setup they got going on. They've got some benches and tables set up, and plenty of food options. I hope to return here, would love to try more of their food options. Great place to visit!
Nothing is bad but nothing is exceptional
This place has super yummy food, and really nice staff! They all are super friendly, and if you go there often, they remember you, and your order. Would recommend for anyone!
I used to take my kids there for lunch after hanging around at the beach (repeat customer). Took my grandson there today hoping for a score. The service was friendly and while the fries were nice enough, the fish and tartar sauce had a funny flavour. I couldn't eat the cole slaw. The batter had a thin crisp then a thin layer of sticky that stuck to my teeth. The batter also had an odd taste. It was inedible. The atmosphere was thick with fumes from the deep fryer, my jacket still smells hours later. Fish and chips.... Just okay at its best, downright awful at its worst. This was the worst lunch I've had in a long time.
Awesome place, great food
Great fish and chips! Always enjoy the food here! If you want something lighter try the halibut burger!
Fries are always great, gravy great, hubby's beef burger was ok, had very similar flavour to macdonalds burgers but was much bigger. Coleslaw was forgotten in my order. Fish burger was not memorable. Although the butter on the soft bun was a nice flavour I couldn't taste the fish or any flavor from the slaw mixture on it. The bun was way too big and the piece of cod was way too small (and I eat light, small meals happily). I liked that the fish wasn't breaded in the burger as it's not needed with that bun. Should have gone with a piece of cod instead of in the burger format. Place was hopping busy which is a good sign that people like the food. Happy for them that they are doing well during this pandemic and we will go back to try some of their other items.
Fantastic batter. Great place. I can't believe I haven't eaten here before. Hidden treasure for sure. We will be back!
Hadn't been in years and wasn't disappointed taking the family on a sunny Sunday. The fish and chips were glorious ( wife & son loved the fries) son had a damn good chocolate milkshake |~ situated on lovely quiet corner and a short walk to or from Willows Beach, definitely worth the visit!
Loved this place! Such a cute little family restaurant. Food was delicious and well priced. Will definitely go back!!
One of the best fish and chip shops in Victoria. Take it away wrapped in paper, or sit on the benches outside. Either way, always a winner!
Great fries
Best fish and chips in Victoria. Even beats Barbs. Sorry Barbs you are second on my list,first for view and atmosphere, second for fish.
(Translated) Very good take away service. The food is highly recommended. (Original) Muy bien el servicio para llevar. La comida ampliamente recomendable.
Brunch
Excellent portions and high quality fish and chips. Drove from Duncan and was not disappointed!!!
Good service. Great fish. Delicious ice cream. What else could you need in life?
Pretty decent, very fresh and perfectly moist
Loved the sourdough CD!
The French fries are home-cut and are really good. The fish, of course, is excellent, too, and the portions are big. The dining area is clean, with lots of interesting things to look at while waiting for your meal. The staff is also friendly and professional, which indicates that this place is well-run and is a good place to work.
Willows Galley is legendary. A true haunt of real Oak Bay locals, this place wrote the book on Fish and Chips - the real deal. Where the oldtimers with taste eat.
Great fish and chips. Fish better than chips.
Great halibut!
These guys had some of the best fish and chips I've had in a long time. You won't be disappointed if you buy food there. They were a quaint little store with outdoor seating. There was a lineup but it went fairly quickly. Well worth the wait.
Nice place and good food
Great little Fish N Chip restaurant a short walk from Willows Beach. Everything is great to eat. Plan on waiting if you show up during the Oak Bay Tea Party.
The best fish and chips in town. Crispy, flavourful batter on the fish is delicious!
Best fish and chips in town! Been here many times never disappointed. Be prepared to line up as it can get very busy but its worth it.
I've had some great food here on multiple ocassions. last time I went it was really busy and a little more average, but hopefully that's just a fluke not a change
Made a Google account just to review this. Walked in today, not expecting anything crazy. This was THE best Fish & Chips I have ever had and I’m not just saying that. The outside was crisp but not too crisp and the inside was perfect. Lots of flavours. The tartar sauce is also excellent. I can always appreciate hand cut fries. Staff was friendly, especially the owner. I live in Langford and will go out of my way just to be back again!
Best fish and chips in Victoria and possibly lower mainland too ( have not tried them all in vancouver, but so far no one can touch them )!! Been coming here for over 22 years, and continue to do so.
Delicious flakey batter and perfectly cooked fish. Will repeat!
One of the best fish and chips joint I had visited. Small, quant, with super friendly staff members. Everything is fresh and tasty. Home made chilly is worth a try as well.
Thank you for this opportunity. I have eaten fish and chips all over the world and was excited to try Willow’s when I recently moved to Oak Bay. Thus, you can imagine my complete surprise and horror when I got home to find that Willow’s had cut one small cod fillet in half(!) and dumped a bunch of French Fries in the bundle. Since when does half a small piece of cod constitute a full serving? Needless to say, I had to make dinner as your serving wouldn’t have fed a sparrow. I Will never go back to Willow’s as their approach to selling fish n chips is nothing short of MISERLY. You should be ashamed of yourselves for taking advantage of people like this. How do you sleep at night?
Great f and c's but can be a long wait.
Best fish and chips in town.
The Galley is THE ONLY PLACE to get fabulous fish and chips in Victoria!! We've been buying dinner from The Galley for 30 years, introduced by my parents who were retired here!! We continued to get fish and chips here ever since, now we are retired here and still ordering!! I alway say, "why turn my stove on when theirs is already on"!!! NEVER had a bad meal, the fish is the freshest (I prefer the halibut) and the hand-cut fries are like my English grandma used to make. The other "joints" in Victoria don't cut it for this meal - don't be disappointed, call the galley - great staff!!!!
Great food, service, and menu in a unique location.
Hadn't been here in a while, really improved. Well done!
I went there months ago. It's delicious! Poutine is also great! I want to try everything here! Just not a good position for me, need to walk 30 minutes or take two buses. If it's near I would go every week. However, last time I bought an additional source but I didn't get it though I paid. I didn't go back because it needs me 1 hour as I said above. Hope staffs can be more careful.
great ... but you never know if they are open except ... never open on long weekends
Excellent as always!
Delicious. A tad pricey but worth it.
Order the fish and chips if you literally want to order greese with a side order of greese... never again for me, thank you P.s the fries are not good... all these talk about good fries. The texture is the texture of a fry that has bathed in greese all day.. not fresh at all
Consistently the best grilled halibut burger in Victoria. My go to restaurant for quick good food
Take out
While people waste an hour waiting in line for the very over-hyped Red Fish Blue Fish, or decide to go for the soggy mess that is Barbs those in the know come here. Significantly better fish and chips, portion sizes and service than anywhere else in town. Leave the other places for the tourists, this is where it’s at.
This is a fish and chips place, that's off the beaten path, usually deep fryed, but will grille as well, main items are fish and chips, as well as burgers, it's a very small place with only about 6 seats inside, but have a couple of picnic tables outside
I took the halibut and chips. The batter for the fish was terrible. It was thick and not crispy at all. The fish itself was chewing without the feeling of eating a piece of fish. It was nearly chewable as a piece of chicken meat. Chips could stuff my stomach but less than delicious and crispy. Only the oyster wrapped with average batter could attract my appetite with its sea water taste. I would not go back for fish and chips at this restaurant.
My wife and I have many positive comments after ordering many meals at Willows Galley over the past few months. The owner and staff are first class! It's such a treat to order a meal from anyone working here, they are polite, knowledgeable and positive. The food is quality, prepared perfectly and very well priced. The facility is very clean and well organized with an option of eating outside or in. I recommend Willows Galley to everyone looking for great food at a great price prepared and served by wonderful people.
Wow! Had the take away fish and chips yesterday. The fish was moist and i would say the batter was amazing!! I would love to know what they put in it! It had a body and flavour like none other. Well done folks!
Been going there for decades. Always amazing and great portions. Chips rule!! Ya gotta eat there.
Local and fresh and fun staff. Plus their chocolate shakes are amazing.
My favorite
Great icecream!!!!
Best fish and chips in town
My friends and family will never eat at that place again, with their new online ordering service they charged my credit card twice and a third time for a big order, when we called to complain, they never returned the money even after acknowledging the mistake, not worth the hassle, they can keep the money I will eat anywhere else
Everyone knows the best fish and chips in Victoria is on Estevan st.
Best fish and chips in the city and they always provide great customer service.
Very busy Went for the Galley Dog and not dissappointed
There food is really good. Best fish and chips in victoria
(Translated) It's delicious, fresh, and served quickly. Especially the oysters are big and fresh. It's a residential area nearby. Find a parking space. Next time I will order the meal first and then come to pick it up. In addition, tableware, lunch boxes, and even small boxes for sauces are all biodegradable, which I like. (Original) 好吃,新鲜,上餐很快。特别是生蚝,很大很新鲜。就是附近是住宅区,要找下停车位。下次我应该会先订好餐再过来取。 另外餐具、餐盒,甚至包括放酱料的小盒子都是可降解的,我喜欢。
Absolutely amazing. Meals were hot, they are great portions and done perfectly. Great lunch today.
Great fish and chips. Quality fish with kitschy decor.
A classic local spot! Everything at the galley is amazing. Always love supporting them.
Always good fish & chips whether you have halibut or cod...an Oak Bay Institution!
Great food. Nice people. Will go again when in Victoria
Overall a pleasant experience. Cute little rustic joint. Not consistent in food quality. We had some over fried shrimps and oysters. Fish and fries were ok. Not the best.
Neptune burger is on point! Delicious fresh fish. Nice place, nice people. Yes, it’s expensive but these ingredients probably ain’t cheap so go on and treat yourself
Wasn't there
Great staff. Great food. Great price.
Its small place with good food. Expensive.
Great local gem. Delicious fish and chips!
Great food and pleasent staff
Greatest Fish and Chips in Canada????????????????
Good food and service......at a price.
The quality of fish isnt bad.. but the value is way off. you're paying $20 for a plate of low quality fries and 1 piece of fish smaller than the palm of your hand. Fish n chips is one of my favourite meals and Ive gone to many different places around town, this is one I will never be returning to. PLUS I couldnt even sit down to eat it due to there only being 2 outdoor tables being taken up by a group of teenagers and seating for maybe 5 inside which was full as well, so I ate in my car. All in all a very disappointing experience. Would not recommend to anyone unless they dont mind paying $35-$40 for a meal($9/tiny piece of halibut, $7/tiny piece of cod) in order to get a proper amount fish. Paying $20 for a meal thats pretty much just a bunch of mediocre fries and a few bites of fish, just sucks.
Best fish and chips place in town aside from Naughty Nellies!
Not a huge fan. Ice cream is often too soft, closed at weird times and days. Really good if you are in the area as a tourist, but as a local I don't hear often. Unless I have a hunger for some good fries. Great fries.
Halibut Chief's Plate was incredibly delicious and filling for 2 people. Would definitely recommend!
Service was bad. Food was burnt an very expensive. I won't be back. If I could give zero stars I would have.
Amazing food!
Pretty shocking. I have tasted better chips cooked from a frozen packet. Plus I paid with a credit card and was forced to tip as there wasn't an option for no tip just different amounts. Surely this is illegal. Wouldn't recommend anyone going here.
Best fish and chips ever
Once you go sourdough batter you never go back. Very good corn dogs.
I am a first time patron and I will be back! Great halibut.
Fast service. Good food.
Good food, good prices, good selection
Normally we love it here, but having no masks on any staff serving your food turned us off right now. We will be back when the pandemic is over, for now we will support local food businesses that wear masks
We dropped by this cute little place for some fish and chips to celebrate my husbands 31st bday. This little hidden gem used to be owned by his grandfather years ago, so he had fond memories here. Boy was I surprised! Not only did we get a good little dose of nostalgia but we also got the best fish n chip dinner ive ever tasted!I dont usually make ratings online but I just had to come and say how good this place is. BEST FISH N CHIPS EVER!!!
There was a line up, and the restaurant is kinda bussy. Foods were good, especially the beef burger. Seafoods were fresh!
Best fish and chips I’ve ever had fish is fresh and cooked to perfection, The house blend tarter sauce is so good. Their burgers are always filling and full of flavour by far the best built burgers I’ve experienced. Everyone there is always so kind and passionate about serving good fresh food.
Kinda average....oh yah also forgot part of my order. But good local people, generally above average most of the time.
Cute location, fast friendly service, reeally quality fish and chips and onion rings! And HUGE portions!
Our favorite is the halibut and chips. Always fresh, crispy and warm. We recently tried the Neptune Burger - both deep fried and grilled - LOVED both. The bun was soft and the tarter-coleslaw dressing was delicious. Friendly and prompt service.
classic fish and chips joint beside a beautiful beach.
The Neptune burger is to die for!
I don't think Willows Galley needs my help, but I just want to confirm for anyone who is not sure - it's worth it. Delicious Neptune sandwich. Huge portions of fries. The onion rings were surprisingly delicious. Wonderful fried fish. They even have great chocolate shakes. They focus on one thing and they do it right. Glad to be able to support a local company that is managing to stay open when so many businesses are suffering. Nice to see everyone physically distancing while in line!
Great little shops..awesome fishnchip shop on estevan.....beach down the road lovely area...
First time there. My buuuuuuurrg n shake were great ????
Very good hamburgers and fried seafood, small and cozy. Friendly staff.
Awesome
Both great food & service. Nothing to improve on. A neighborhood treasure. Worth the drive!
Yum
Super friendly service.great experience with them and the food was awesome!! They gave us all the right stuff to go down to the ocean and enjoy our meal on such a nice day. Thank you guys and gals ????????????
Our spot for classic Fish & Chips. We always get it to go and enjoy our lunch at Willows Beach which is a short 5 minute walk away.
Cute little fish shack just a short walk up from the beach.
Very good fish, good selection and reasonable price
Staff was helpful and friendly. Place was clean and nostalgic loved it. Food was Excellent lots for a good price. If you take out you have everything! Utensils and condiments. Love this place!!!
best fish and chips!
been coming to this establishment for years, the owners and staff are always really nice and accomadating, the food is excellent, recommend the Neptune burger, fish chips, onion rings etc all are good and cant really go wrong with anything, nice place to get something to take out or eat in.
Went yesterday for halibut fish and chips and was incredibly disappointed, especially by looking at the reasonably good review score I had higher hopes then what I received. The halibut fish was way over battered, it was like chewing on a dough ball and the fish was not fresh at all. The fries were completely unsalted and flavourless, maybe the kitchen forgot on this batch but they tasted like a straight fried unseasoned potato, not great. The coleslaw given was unedible and the dressing used just tasted like straight mayonnaise, it wasn't even regular coleslaw dressing just creamy mayo. The hotdog I ordered for $5 just used a weiner from a cheap $1 pack of tiny hotdogs, what a complete rip off. Overall 2/5, not great.
Great fish and chips! Quick service
The best place for fish & chips, fish burgers, & fried oysters, food isn't greasy at all, plus the homemade fries are fantastic! My husband & I would drive from Alberta to eat here! It's a must when we are visiting Victoria! Mmmm good!
Nice friendly place to eat. Food was delicious
Delicious! Prepared in a timely manner; the halibut was crispy, the chips just right and a hint of dill in the coleslaw was altogether a perfect lunch to enjoy outside in the sunshine. The price was also good and ice cream available for dessert or on its own.
Portions are big, batter is the best. Service is extraordinary. Extremely professional and patient despite the mess my 4 kids did. If you are on the island and craving fish, this is your destination. A++++++++++++++++++++
Amazing place. As always.
Very good French fries
This place is amazing! Great value and amazing food! Probably the best poutine in Victoria.
