Good Clean and tasty. And consistently good timing.
Not good waiting a long time for 1 fish dinner half an hour needs to be more organised
Best in town. Have turned a lot of people on too this take out. English style fish and chips. But when their busy it's a wait. That's because it's so good. Worth it. Plus deep fried oreos.
Food is pretty good, however depending on the day the fish amount can be quite small. Also the cashier can be pretty rude at times.
Awsome Tuesday special, little slow but the quality and quantity make up for it.
Great place food is very consistent staff is always friendly
We enjoyed our Fish n chips!So delicious ????..Best in the Niagara region!
Looks rundown but don't let that fool you. Established business delivering quality food. Been going here over 30 years, never disappointed yet!
Great Fish and Chips always on point
Great lunch at a great price, everything if fresh so there is a wait time for your order but definitely worth it
if i could give a zero i absolutely would DO NOT TIP THIS PLACE... NONE of the employees recieve any tips given. the owner comes and collects tips for himself.. had 2 close friends work there in a span of 5 years and this never changed.. place steals from their employees and don't care about them at all.
Called to get fish 10 minutes before close to which they took my order and i showed up 2 MINUTES after close and they fully shut down and refused to give me my order and ignores me at the door.
Made a take out order Had to wait 30 minutes after being told it will be 15 minutes got home with stone cold greasy fish dinner Asked for tarter and got none didn't even get Cole slaw Worst take out in niagara by far
Great fish and chips and friendly service.
Good food and great portions. We will go back
Service is great. Fish and chips the halibut dinner is the best but a bit expensive.
Excellent quality and fairly priced.
The best fish and chips
Too greasy
I would give it five stars but it is not consistent .
Always courteous and friendly....foods good too
Best fish and chips in town!
Great lunch deals
The whole squad hits up fish and chips every Tuesday during our lunch break.
I like there fish and chips
What a deal.... Wednesday shrimp basket. Wonderful.
Always good fish and chips, however the service is horrid. Leaves something to be desired.....unhappy team member, monotone, did not want to serve us.
Great deal on weds!
Friendly service, amazing fish and chips. Go to place in Niagara
Light and crispy batter... tasty... fast service! Love it!
Always greasy
Skip it. Horrible service. Drove there for Tuesday Specials. From the back an associate asked "What do you want?" He was displeased to get an order for two specials. Stated it was Tuesday and busy. Adding the order will not be accepted and said nothing more. Will not ever be trying or returning.
I love this place, I love their fish. Very light battered. Not greasy!
Great halibut but like most chippy stores it’s an expensive meal!
We heard so many wonderful reviews on Giant FM so we had to try it, obviously!!! The service, amazing, they have the sweetest server. The food was delicious, big portions of fish, delicious homemade tartar sauce, crispy fries and the most delicious Cole slaw. If you haven't tried, go now, it's well worth the drive!!! That's my half eaten box!!!
Definitely not a fancy dine-in service, yet still offers pretty good food for the price.
Great fish. Fast service
Offer great deals and the wait time is not to bad for a good set of fast meals.
Great job, thanks.
Good food but new more customer interaction.
Good price. What I consider English style ???? and chips
It is where one gets fried battered fishies and deep fried spuds. They do a fine job!
Had the halibut burger, they're batter never disappoints. Very consistent, always a pleasant experience
Meal type
Delicious food, great staff. We loved it!
Never had a bad experience with the food always great here, just wish the restaurant was bigger for eating inside.
This is the one place you must have the haddock at. Amazing, crunchy, flakey and fresh
The quality is really good. I love it. the best fish n chip in town.
Tiny sliver of fish. Very confused staff. Batter, fries and peas taste fine but sooo little actual fish and such a confusing wait to pick up my order, I won't be back.
Just finished my one piece halibut dinner. Yummy. Fish cooked just right. Nice and flaky. Not a lot of batter. Excellent!!!
I agree with the last review... the Tuesday specific is amazing. Great lightly battered fish, fresh cut fries..mmmmm.... good breaded shrimp special on Wednesday also. My only concern is that the tartar sauce isn't homemade... which makes me wonder if the coleslaw is not homemade..oh and no salads are available also. Otherwise I would like to highly recommend the place. It has been there since I was a kid, so they're doing lots right! I am no spring chicken folks. LoL
Ordered a 2 piece Cod&Chips dinner. Fish was cooked through, but batter was soft on one side, and chips were barely cooked, and limp Perhaps the oil was not hot enough? I would have returned, but was well on my long trip home when I discovered the problem.
Fish was dry and expensive. Seems to be popular .
The go to place for Fish & Chips!
Visiting the area and looking for fish and chips on a Friday. The service and food are all exactly what you expect and the prices are good. I even seemed to get an extra piece of fish. And to top it off the place was oozing family business and super chill.
garbage food, fish was greasy, flimsy and soggy, fries are under cooked greasy and soggy as well. Breaded shrimp was the quality of what you would find in the frozen section of a lower end grocery store.
Food was horrible. They packed 3 pieces of hot fish on top of hot fries in a tiny box so everything was mushy. Worst fish and chips I’ve ever had!
Great fish and chips place. We ordered through door dash and it came within 30 minutes. Unfortunately the pollock and poutine was missing from the order. We called the restaurant to let them know. They offered to make it for us and we went to pick it up since it would be faster, wasn’t far from the hotel and we wanted to eat together as a family. The restaurant was very apologetic for the error and even threw in an extra fish and extra bacon bits on the poutine. That was so nice of them to do that. We ordered: 1. seafood platter with haddock, scallops, shrimp, tarter sauce and onion rings 2. Calamari strip dinner 3. Mozzarella sticks 4. Jalapeño shrimp with jalapeño dip 5. Pollock with a side of poutine Everything was delicious we forgot to take pictures until after we started eating several of the dishes so there are only a few pics. The batter is light and flakey, not too oily and the fish is a good size. The jalapeño shrimp is really good especially with the jalapeño dip. It’s only mildly spicy so even if you can’t take much spice it would still be ok. Scallops and shrimp are a good size in the seafood platter. Everything came nicely wrapped and labeled. Would definitely order from them again!
The food was very greesy soggy in the box i threw it out it was a waste of 35 dollars should be ashamed to sell that kind of product i will never go back sub par to say the least. To see the reveiws and then to get the meal that o got. All i can say is maybe u should make the drive to hutches in hamilton and see how fish and chips is supose to be made for a paying customer
Very good!
My wife and I just had two piece halibut and chips from Lakeport and we agree - the best we have ever had. Thanks.
A decent fish and chip, but beware, they sometimes ONLY serve the more expensive fish on holidays.
It was ausome great service and really good food
They have great lunch deals but I found the portions are small & the Halibut is overpriced.
Very good. Great portions and loved their coleslaw!
My goodness
Great fish and chips
Fish and chips are great. So are the chicken fingers.
The food is good and they are fast. NOTE; if you order via a delivery app like Skip, they mark up their menu prices. This should be disclosed in a clear fashion (yes, legal fine print covers it somewhere on page 6 of the EULA). For example Pollock 1 pc dinner is 6.95 on the menu vs 8.68 on Skip. EDIT: I also notice a previous reviewer mentions that the owner keeps all tips. There was no response to that post from the owner. Spend your money elsewhere, shady business practices should not be rewarded.
Good food. Thanks.
Great fish, reasonable prices
The Tuesday special is such a great deal. The breaded mushrooms are a great side as well.
Tuesday Wednesday deals
fries were mushy
They have a great tuesday fish special
Love the fish here. Crispy, light and very tasty. I don't think I've ever had better.
At this time I feel I will not be back. I ordered Fish and chips and mushy peas and coconut shrimp. The young lad said "Do you want tarter sauce and lemon I said yes. He then said I'll have to charge you for the lemon. I said never mind I have lemon juice at home. I didn't even get any sauce for my shrimp I believe there is a red one for sea food. I did not order the cheapest fish so I did pay enough to be able to have a piece of lemon. A lot of great reviews why none not so good? I have been to better places with better service.
Fish was great and the fries we're cooked perfectly we're crispy and not soggy and reasonably priced.
Staff were helpful giving previous customer directions to another store. Food was tasty, but didn't get mints this time. They may have been distracted
Yummy fish and best chips in town
The young lady behind the counter was super helpful and smiley. When too many customers were in the store she had no problem asking people to leave and following rules. The food was also absolutely delicious
Excellent Fishn Chips Very Nice Staff
Great lunch at a great price!
My great-great-great-grandfather, Isaiah Abernathy Lakeport, founded this place in the mid 1800's. He was an immigrant from Great Britain. His clientele was loyal and he would make the fish and chips to order. He'd take them days and weeks in advance and catch the fish and slice the potatoes only hours before the order was to be completed; that's how you knew it was always fresh. Sad to see an old-fashioned, IMPORTANT tradition be done away with in this day and age. Nowadays everything comes frozen and is not made with passion like what Isaiah did. He got looted and shot to death a few years after opening up the place. Someone had contracted salmonella and died, and a family member of the deceased took it upon himself to murder my great-great-great-grandfather in cold blood. Now the business is here. Overall pretty good food. Reasonable price, I guess. Staff is very friendly.
Awesome food, a little pricy but they do have daily specials at good price, it would be nice to have one in Welland, so the food isn't soggy by the time you drive here from St. Catharines or Niagara Falls
Waited 55+ minutes for a curb side order after being told it would take 15 minutes. When we called from the curb side spot when we arrived we were told they were just wrapping it and our order would be out shortly. Then after 25 more minutes of waiting my husband went in to check on the order and was told they hadn’t even been dropped in the fryer yet.
So good, best cod i ever tried. So crispy. Sides were perfect. Next time I'll get battered mushrooms! It was all wrapped in paper, British style! On the way home from the falls we followed the river to Niagara on the Lake... amazing experience! Then i had a hankering for fish n chips, so started searching. Turned out only a few were still open in st cats. So went to lakeside, drove over the canal!! The qew is just few minutes away from here then.
The fish is excellent. Mom and I had in Lew of turkey. Bring on the fish!!!
Good price. Got Pollock and chips with a pop for $5. The location's small with only a couple tables for two each. Mainly takeout. Friendly staff member.
Was awesome fish ???? is great
The fish and chips here is arguably the best in the immediate area. Unfortunately no Gluten free options though. Fast service, cleanly, friendly, and organized. Two small tables for eat in but mainly take-out.
Fish is Great but the Fries are moshi
Omg I just love their Jalapeno shrimps..
Very helpful and friendly staff, great quality fish and chips. Good value for your money and generous serving sizes!
Always delicious
Good food and decent prices, especially on Tuesdays.
Great place for take out dinner. Portions are terrific. Staff was excellent.
Nice food
Love it! Great food! You got to try the Onion Rings!
Lots of parking
Greasy food
Crazy busy on the special Tuesdays.. Waited to long after paying.. Think they forgot about my order
The food was great but the services is bad. They're so unfriendly and not helpful, sometimes you feel like you're being judges by the cashier
1 and a half hour wait! If popularity is growing like this, they need to start expanding.
Great food
Consistently good fish and chips.
Great food at good prices. Portions were large and the fish not too greasy.
I've been eating here for years! It's a great family that owns the place!
Best fish place
Really good fish
Good food for cheap. That's our go to for fish and chips
While the prices are reasonable the quality is not there. Ordered calamari. Never have gotten such dried out mostly breading from anywhere before. Maybe not such a popular item not sure but was very disappointed.
Just how fish & chips should be.
Jan 08/21 ordered on line only to show up to find my order had been given to someone else. Although they were busy that night it should have not taken another hour to recomplete my order. Perhaps the 10 year old working the front counter needs more experience.
Good prices, Fish was good but fries could've been better.
I came in tonight to pick up my order, the store was crowded as usual. People were sent back outside, which is a horrible system because there's no way of know when your order is ready if you're not inside. Yet still, not a single employee visible was wearing a mask (3 people minimum). This really makes me wonder what else is happening to our food if basic health requirements can't be followed. The guy at the front had his hanging from his ear while chewing his gum like a cow, huge restaurant no no. I was disgusted but had 3 people at home waiting for a meal that I needed to produce so I was forced to take my order and leave.
Good quality seafood and wide variety of fish choices
No need for too much detail about why this restaurant was our third attempt to get take out fish and chips on Good Friday, other then to say we were not thinking. We pulled up at Union Jack 4th ave and thought why isn't this place packed like the others? We ordered almost immediately, and take out was ready in 10 min. Very pleasant surprise! My wife and I shared a 2 piece haddock and chips. Batter was light and crispy, fish was hot and cooked through, fresh cut fries very nice. No greasy after taste which we've experienced before elsewhere. Even the coleslaw was tasty, not too sharp if you know what I mean. Union Jack will now be our first choice in St. Catharines. Social distancing and other tactics were in place for everyone's benefit. Thanks
Service
Excellent value Tuesday special.
Fries should be fresh cut!
I have listened to their ads on radio but never went there. First time by chance we ended up arround the area so we went. And it was so damn good and the quantity omg. The food we got i think if we had 3 more people we'd be fine. First experience absolutely amazing. Will be returning next for the burger. Good going guys. P.s. service was very good. They said 10 mins but it was ready early.
We ordered dinner from Lakeport for the first time and I will say the food was not good. Warm at best the breaded pickles were saggy and greasy the fry's were overloaded in grease and were just as my kids put it yuk, mozzarella sticks were bland no flavour and to top it all off the delivery guy was verbally abusive to my wife. I'm all for giving a tip for good service but don't expect it. The driver tried to drive off with the change and when confronted he was surprised and using the double digits vocabulary told me his opinion. sorry but I will not give a tip after the way he disrespected my wife he was lucky he was walking a way after talking to my wife and me the way he did. this was the first time and the last time my family will ever order from them.
Not very clean. Order cod got pollok.
We ordered the 1 piece halibut dinner and 2 piece haddock dinner, both were really good. The haddock portion was huge. Two massive pieces. The halibut which is my personal favorite was a much smaller portion (half the size of one piece of haddock). It was more than enough for me but I could see some people wanting more. Fries were delicious and the gravy is amazing. I would definitely recommend.
Always great. Have been many times and have never been disappointed.
Great food. High prices. We stick to their "food of the day" specials to get the most of our money. Also, if you live far, dont bother as it gets mushy and greasy on a 10-15 minute drive home.
Great prices and the fish is delicious
Excellent meal as I love cod. My parents had haddock and my dad actually ate all of his chips. Wrapped up in paper and piping hot when we got home.
I appreciate that it's a hot Sunday afternoon at 4 pm but my telephone order with plenty of notice was shorted the coleslaw. Not a big deal but next time I'll check before leaving.
Great fish and chips, and fast service.
Best fries
Ordered a 6 piece family meal of Pollock. The fish was good but nothing to write home about and the chips were very soggy and oily. I would not recommend this restaurant.
Solid fish and chips. The deep fried oreos are the best!
Best fish I have ever had
So tasty
I've been going here for years Definitely recommend.
Have been a customer for several years, cannot speak for any other review here, but have had more than one bad experience. Staff has changed, to be expected, BUT the quality of service is not what it was originally PLUS this is the last time for me based on either incorrect order received (TWICE) and fish overcooked (I pay for Halibut, so this was not one budget dinner that was poorly prepard). Asked for the manager when food was poorly prepared, he was not there I was told, so decided to share this way. For the owner: think about who is missing from your regular Friday nite cusotmer orders of three Halibut dinners, maybe you can find me that way!!
The best Fish & Chips in the Niagara Region!! You can't beat the Tuesday $3.99 1 pc Fish & Chips special and the Wednesday $4.99 Shrimp Basket special. The service is fast and friendly. The food is hot made to order. The food is not greasy or oily, it is light and tasty.
I came in and had asked the sizes for the Jalapeño shrimp, being pointed to the boxes beside the register I said I wanted enough to share with my sister standing beside me. At no point did the person working the register tell me that the box would be filled with fries, and topped with a few shrimp. I feel ripped off, and misled, as I was speaking to someone right in front of me. Will never come again.
Great fish and chips. Crispy batter, tender fish, good price, plenty of food.
Pleasant atmosphere, friendly personnel and super duper delicious fish and shrimp!
lol they charge for a slice of a lemon so sad, this is what this world has become, Once again the owner replies on here and always make the customer look bad,
Aug 2020: my first time here and I tried the Wednesday shrimp basket special. Shrimp were on the small side, but there were enough of them to compensate. They tasted ok, but that's all. The fries were a below average, and I threw out half, thinking "why bother". I'll give them another try, next time it'll be the fish, but I'm not rushing back. Lots of choices out there.
Great fish!
Delicious! I will only order fish and chips from Lakeport. I only gave them a 4 as a find them a tad pricey.
I've never been disappointed ????
A little chaotic with a pen damick but good food good service and good prices will continue to go there and support
Lakeport used to be our favourite (almost) weekly meal. The food is delicious. However, the last two times we've ordered, what we received was incorrect. The first time, we paid for extra tartar sauce and got home only to find out there was no sauce whatsoever. The second time, they made sure we had the sauce we paid for the previous time, but shorted us one meal. While I appreciate their offer of remaking the order, this isn't an appropriate solution when you live at the other end of town. It seems like the staff need more supervision and attention to detail.
Not that impressed. They forgot to give us our onion rings in our take out order. Fish was good but kind of dinky and small
Radio ads made the place seem larger than it really is - 2 or 3 table Take-out joint. But the fish 'n chips are very good here. Their burger was pretty good, as well.
Great service, fast & friendly.
Best fish and chips I have ever had Great place to work at also. Extremely friendly people.
I had a less-than-stellar experience here a year or so ago, and left a review about it, but it turned out to be very much a one-off, and since then everything has been great, with excellent cod with chips and onion rings, and staff who are unfailingly alacritous, friendly, and polite -- yes, Google, 'alacritous' is a word, look it up on yourself. I marvel at how tirelessly they cope with the complications of serving customers under the pandemic conditions, offering multiple ways of ordering, picking up, and paying. Well done folks.
Great food for a reasonable price !
My boys enjoyed the Fish! The chips could have been a little more crispy but thats just me
Very friendly staff. Tasty food.
Best Fish and Chips.
Perfect..fish was nice size... Fries perfect.... Staff excellent... Would go again... Too bad so far from Whitby...but just happened to be in the area.Go check them out went yesterday and the guy behind the counter should get a raise...nice guy.
Excellent fish and chips only good for take out only have 2 small tables to eat at
Almost 30 minutes for a large fry that costs $6.75
Fish is just average.
Had the haddock fish and chips. Haddock was slightly overcooked but the batter was fried crisp and light. The chips were beautiful. Airy, potatoe insides while every corner of each fry was perfectly crunchy. Interior is nothing to write home about but it is clean-ish
Love the tuesday special. I wish there was a washroom! Staff was nice and food survived our 10 minute drive. Delicious.
Always tasty
My family and I tried Lakeport for the first time tonight and I am quite disappointed. I ordered 3 meals and a side. Time-wise everything was completed in the timeframe they said, which is why I’m giving two stars. From the moment I called to place my order, the woman on the phone sounded frantic and immediately put me on hold. When I placed my order I said “lots of tartar and lemon please”. When picking up my order I made a point of asking if everything was in there and she was absolutely sure that everything was. Given that it is deep-fried food and how they meticulously wrap everything up, I didn’t want to open It all up and let out the heat. When I got home with my order I was missing my side, I had only 2 tartar sauces and 2 lemons for 3 meals, my fish pieces were exceptionally small and my poutine was complete mush- not to mention the photo online showed coleslaw and there was no coleslaw. When I called to speak to them about my missing side and lack of tartar and lemon she says that it will be put in their “comp book”. I explained my frustration that I specifically went out of my way to ask while there if everything was in the bag and I was reassured that it was which was not true. This phone conversation took place roughly 10 minutes before closing time so I was not even given the opportunity to come back and get what I paid for. It is what it is- but I will not be going back.
Good i love
Fast food with great $5 lunch and Tuesday spacial
Went today for the Wednesday shrimp special. Was very surprised by the young lady working the front. She was extremely polite and very quick taking my order. Looks like it is a family run place. Dad and another young lady also served customers. Food was fast. Hot. Very tasty
The food was hot and tasty but greasy
Okay, so maybe you are dealing with money issues but when I point blank ask for lots of tarter sauce, 2 packs doesn't really fit the bill for a 4 peice fish dinner and clam strips.
We love Lakeport Fish and Chips. We ate in although it has a small dining room 2 tables. I wish they had a high chair tho. The food was fresh, tasty and excellent. We also ordered the deep fried oreos and deep fried Mars bar. Yum yum. I wish they had a tip option on the debit machine. Over all always a great experience. I would like if they served lemons with the fish.
Take out
Ordered skip the dishes from here tonight. Truly impressed with everything. Even down to the packaging really done with care
Not as much flavor as I thought
Speedy service and good fish and chips. Love the shrimp in a basket. Good value for the money spent
Seemd disorganized
The fish is good found the fries soggy
Pretty good. Both fish and fries were good.
Good stuff at a good price. Keep an eye out for the tuesday special.
I used to live in Nova Scotia, and fine Lakeport to be just as good as the best in Halifax!
Solid place for fish and chips!
Lunch
Is hair on your menu? because I sure didn't order it.
Was our favourite place, but the halibut has shrunk and shrunk and shrunk. Should be bigger than a credit card...total rip off. The two piece is now what you used to get in a one piece. Also, the texture of the halibut wasn't right...usually it's a nice firm texture, but this was soft and mushy. I don't think they're using a proper filet anymore? And there was grease dripping out. We will be going to J Monks from now on.
Very good service
Nice Haddock steaks (I know they're fillets but they were an inch thick). Best fish n chips in town!
Still the best! Clean plus friendly service.
Fantastic service
Fish good, but customer service not. Girl working was rude and needs to be retrained on how to deal with customers. Someone needs to smile!!!
Good spot. Not hard to get to and somewhat central. I've only just been introduced to the restaurant but for $4 on a Tuesday special you really can't go wrong. Food tastes good and the service was fast!
Great price,sustainable packaging except cutlery and coleslaw and tarter sauce in foam container otherwise good tasting fish and chips.
Small pieces for the price and watery. Dont recommend.
Had the halibut and chips and it was really good. Service was great. Will go again!
Great price always good!
Ordered family pack of fish and chips and some battered mushrooms which we paid extra for. Hubby arrived home two pieces of fish, mushrooms and no fries. Called them and they tried to say they gave is a larger order of mushrooms instead of fries. Well who the hell orders fish and chips to only get the fish. We were starving and on top of it ir was a ratty day. Called twice wouldn't give us fries which I'm sure cost them 25 cents. Thanks for nothing, left us hungry and angry. Will never order from here again. Total rip off. To add to owners in true comments, we were told we were given a large order if mushrooms instead of fries. We were offered to come back for fries, but when it says family meal when ordering the fish and chips, you assume your getting fries. We ordered the mushrooms as a side. When picking up, someone could have told my husband this. I heard my husbabds conversation on the phone as well as my own, of course. We were always polite to your staff and did not get rude or angry, so dont make things up.
We are looking for a good fish and chip spot. Tried this place for the first time based on the google reviews. The pickup was a little hectic and they have no real process (due to social distancing etc but no points lost because of this). About 10 people hanging outside the door not knowing what to do and def not standing 6 feet apart. Our food was sitting up waiting up at the counter for about 10 minutes before the girl called our name. Very small portions of halibut and chips. The smallest I have every gotten for the same price as other places. The halibut was the size of my hand and the chips were about the same. I’ve never had such a small order of fries. The food tasted ok; I’m giving it two stars for the value for money. Our hunt continues.
