Reviews of Don's Fish & Chips (Restaurant)

Family Nause

Nice food...big portions. Good service but lacking personality. Good value

Shore to Shore

Nice f+c place, there isn't any spot to sit though, so you have to eat in the parking lot or take the food to go. Fish wasn't too oily while eating. They give large servings of fries so sharing is an option too.

Sean McNamara

Fast service with a homemade feel

Paul McAllister

We came to Brockville for their fish and chips and it was worth it. The tunnel was a fun experience with the children. A bit pricey, but worth every penny.

Brenda Cowan

Always the best!

Blue Gypsy Homestead

Is there a better place for fish and chips? Not a chance. We'll worth the trip

Tony Galletta

Best tasting cod and fries, would recommend highly if you love fish n chips.

tony molson

The fish was perfect, not too crispy, just soft enough to melt in your mouth, fries were delicious and although they were busy service was quick. Highly recommended!

Robert Neill

First time there. Visiting from the States. Staff was friendly, service was quick and the fish & chips were great!

Jordan Green

The best fish and chips I've ever had

j King

AMAZING FOOD GREAT PRICES FRIENDLY STAFF

Mandy Folsom

Don's fish and chips are amazing. Well worth it...

Cruising Primate

Good service, good food, another biker stop. So far the fish was better here than anywhere else I tried it.

shari daughton

Hands Down... The best fish & chips you'll ever have. I can be sure, year after year, that the quality of their service and food will never change. They've perfected their art! This is a destination "must", if you love good fish & chips!

Steve H (KidCOBOL)

A local legend still providing fantastic quality fish and chips! The breading is amongst the best I've ever had.

Matthew Westerman

If your in Brockville and you like fish and chips eat here.

Colin Devlin

Went to Brockville earlier this week to go camping and woman handing out the window was very rude.

Mohamed Ajmal Sheriff

Meal type

Stefan Gieselmann

It's fish, it's chips, and both are done extremely well. Nice light crispy batter on good sized pieces of fish and the plentiful chips actually reheat well as leftovers.

Darren Barber

Fish is best in class and love their tartar sauce, but the fries are among the worst. Despite them being hand cut they're continuously fried much too long. Apart from the health hazards it takes away the taste. Simple fix, just fry them a little shorter. 4 stars for the fish, 1 for the fries...

T Smith

Good size fish. Good tasting on the expensive side. Method of serving is weird. In bags within bags and the lemon not fresh in packets.

pete debo

Good food great prices

Pavlo Kalyta

For sure one of the best fish and chips. I could not stop eating the fries. This will be our new stop between Toronto and Ottawa.

John Cory

Great place friendly staff very hygienic very well-keep.

Shawn Hall

Great fish, best batter in town. A little small but filling for sure.

Michel Brault

Good tasty fish and chips. Takeout window open during pandemic. Enjoy eating it at at the park down by the river.

Cheryl Gray

Came from Ottawa to eat here. Worth the trip. Fish was perfect. We had the large cod and large haddock. The only thing we miss was a box not accustomed to eating out of a bag. Too much for me to finish. Wonderful date day trip. Will definitely be back for more with our own picnic plates

Jason lamb

Amazing fish and chips. Best I've had since leaving Newfoundland

Mark Kluepfel

Near the train tunnel, great place to buy some fish and chips. The cod is best in my opinion, you won't be disappointed. Staff were friendly. Remember to ask for salt and vinegar half way up. Prices were good. Enjoy

Isaac

Best fish and Chips west of the Maritimes. Not too much batter, fresh fish, and appropriately wrapped in paper. Delicious!

J.A. Lemieux

Best fish’n chips ever! Grab one and go picnic on the shore.

Steve Wiseman

I live in Embrun and anytime I'm in Brockville I stop here, it's that good. I'm not a huge fan of fish or seafood in general but their fish is always nice and golden and crispy partnered with delicious chips. 10/10

Bruno Labbé

Best fries ever. Fish is ok, a bit too much batter for my taste. We took the large mixed dinner and it fed both my gf and I.

Denis Levesque

Get your choice of Cod or Haddock fish and chips. Both taste good. They serve a good portion of fries which was satisfactory. No eat in option, only take away.

Jake Paquette

Amazing food. Great prices.

Kofi O

I am a fish and Chips fanatic. On my way home from Ottawa someone suggested I stop here. Glad I did. The fish is amazing and the serving size is generous. Thank you, all at Don’s!

Janet Goddard

Fast service and amazing fish and chips ... I would give Don's fish & chips 10 star review if I could so I guess it's the 5 stars.. Amazing again I would most definitely go back myself but I am going to be tell everyone I know to go have fish & chips as nobody else is as good..

Marian McKinnon

Bought two large orders of fish & chips & the quality of both was delicious, This is the only fry’s for many miles that are always cooked in fresh oil & your not given burnt, over cooked pieces that should of been skimmed out of fryer. The cleanliness & covid profile was followed perfectly & the staff very friendly. Been going here for many years & would highly recommend to anyone looking for tasty fish & chips.

Robert Thomas

The fish (Cod) is amazing! Next time I'm going to order just 2 pieces of fish instead of 1 piece with fries.

Shawn Bailey

Eaten here a few times. It is usually quite good. Will split a large order into two separate non plastic clamshell containers that keep the quality of the food far better than plastic.

Hooman B

Great fish and chips. Both the cod and haddock are delicious. Get the fries with salt and vinegar, also the poutine is amazing.

Tom Houston

The haddock is amazing - not too greasy or bready. Lots of fish! The fries are great too, and they definitely don't skimp on portion sizes! Highly recommend and will definitely return!

Sarah Sutton

Been coming here 6 times a year for 30 straight years but no more. the last 4 times I noticed portions are getting smaller and smaller, and the fries dont seem to be cooked properly anymore. I gave them the benefit of the doubt it was a one off, but 4 disappointments inadvertently row. Such a shame after 30 years to not be ordering here anymore.

Augusto Urena

Best fish and chips I've ever had. Friend from Spain was here last year and she took all the info and telling other friends coming to visit Canada "go to dons, they're better than the fish and chips she had all over England when visiting"

Brandon Vesely

Randomly stumbled upon it while looking for restaurants on google maps, and decided to check it out. The food was fantastic - very fresh and tasty. My only disappointment was that they used packets of tartar sauce. You'd generally expect a place like this to have some homemade.

Laura Harte

Love this place. Grew up with it and get some when I visit.

Wendy Hart

Great food, one thing that would make it a 5 star, is home made tartar sauce.....

Henry Troup

Very helpful staff assisted me. They helped me decide the portion size (large fries is a full basket!) And diverted me from the frozen sweet potato fries to the fresh. A good size for lunch for two was two pieces of fish and small fires, split in two. As noted, the tartar sauce is packaged. Batter is about 5 mm thick, and a little sweet, and we had the halibut. Very tasty, well cooked, handed out through the window. Fries were classic "fish and chips" chips. Cooked through, and not greasy.

Jason Little

great food!!!:) horrible service…:(

Steve Pelehos

There was a long line when I got there. I figured I would be waiting for a little bit. Took almost no time at all and everything was excellent !

Sissi Juan

Fish average ok, fries very normal. Good portion to eat only if you are very very hungry. Tartar sauce is Kraft, not home made.

Andrew Wing

Worth the drive if you're not from here. Beautiful park down the road to sit enjoy!

Anne Gillard

Pogo was good Cod not really Needed home made tarter sauce and sweet mustard

Edward C. Jr Campbell

Best fish and chips I've ever had

Richard Domino

Great food, covid-19 safe

Shari Scheske

The fried fish is perfectly breaded and not too greasy. The chips are generous and cooked through. We like to order a 2 piece split between us and picnic in the park by the water in the summertime.

Richard Boisvert

The fish was exceptional. Fat, fresh and pleasant. The chips were just ok. Very processed. Definitely order them with salt & vinegar. Service was fast even though there was a line.

Jean Hutt

It was some solid fish and chips! Only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stats is because it's a little expensive for what you get. Also, the little guy serving was pretty mean to another customer at one point.

Kelly Kerr

best fish and chips!

Thomas Lake

Delicious and a Brockville staple!

Ryan Trebell

Didn't receive tartar sauce, salt, vinegar or lemon

Ellis Blythe

A little bit of a Long line but , great service, go here!

Judy Marshall

Delicious Cod and picnic table in a nearby park on the river. It doesn't get much better than that!

A M Brookes

Used to be pretty good. Need more consistency in how the food is prepared.

Veadra Duchaine

Very good food. Too bad only takeout

M Awesome

First class customer service the fish is so yummy and they treat everyone the same no matter your race or culture so good always have a wonderful experience.

Tim MacKenzie

Great a usual!! Nice little park down the street to eat.

Mustaqim Rahman

Best fish we can find in Ontario!!! We drive 45 minutes to eat at Don's Fish and Chips. Best fast food ever. Very large portions and very well priced. We pick up food and eat by the water every time. 100% worth it. You won't be disappointed!

Lisa Cherry

This is the place to be of you happen to be in Brockville. Grab the their fish and chips and enjoy the lovely breeze blowing off the coast of St Lawrence River in Summers!

Cynthia Hawley

What better thing to do on your canceled wedding day...Go to Don's Fish&Chips! Thanks for a predictably great meal to make the day better!

Evan Faux

First time here. Excellent poutine.

Steve Dudka

Don's never disappoints!

Devin Wang

Great fish and chips, I need a label on the fishes so I can stop ordering one of each.????

Bella Love

My travelling buddy and I went there on a rainy Sunday with nothing much else to do, and he got the fish n chips, a one piece as I wasn't too hungry. This is pretty much the main reason we travel to Brockville this time of year anyway. You can get cod or haddock and the pieces are very fat, I am amazed at how fat the fish are up here, I am from the Maritimes, Truro, and they seem to be a thinner variety down there, long and thin pieces, but oh, so good!

Connor Boyd

Amazing fish and chips, worth the long line-up.

Guy Tessier

First time at this place and will be back for sure. Friendly staff and their fish and poutine was amazing. For a small order ot was big

Christa Guthrie Vincent

Best fried fish all around! Dont take my word for it, ask the seagulls!

Drew Hosick

Great spot for fish & chips. Amongst the tastiest ever. Smaller portion of fish, but very worth the wait and price. Inadequate parking, but again it is worth the effort to eat from here. It is take out only, but top marks!

Maxim “RedBeardOutdoors” Lauzon

Always good. The place to get Fish and Chip's.

tristan brooks

The owner is a bite of a grump, but I envy him. Sitting in that shabby looking box all day. And the food was sad, soggy fries and over battered fish

Queenie s

The fish batter is not the original recipe and I find it very thick and dense, almost flavorless. Prices have skyrocketed since my last visit. I stopped going because of the cleanliness, but thought I would give it another try. I will go back to Prescott to Tim's Fish and Chips

Emerald Meadows

Definitely one of the best fish and chips place I have been to. The fish is "meaty" and flavorful, and the fries are excellent too. Apart from that the owner is really nice and friendly!

Brian Kilby

Best in Brockville.

Andre Comtois

The food was exceptional for such a common meal. The menu was another issue for a new comer. A few descriptive words would not clutter the simple menu. For example "Large Order Haddock" could have been clearer if the amount of fish was indicated (two pieces or one). We were surprised by the large package we got and how it was wrapped. Some of it was wasted by throwing it away.

C SF

Consistent food for many many years,. But I find in comparison to other fish and chips restaurants in my area, Don's are over priced with the extra thick dough on the Fish . But regardless of the thick dough, mmm???? the fish is cooked perfect always on point and delicious...

Mr. Winter

This is a wonderful place. What it lacks in seating, it makes up for in speedy service and great food. While you do pay a premium, it is well worth it. The Haddock is tender inside with a nice crunch on the outside, the chips are certainly the homestyle I would expect, and the poutine is an instant win with the affordable extra gravy option. All said and done, it made for a wonderful night out with the family.

Graham Starkie

Good portions. Great fish. Would be nice if they had fresh tartar sauce.

mitch wing

The most amazing fish and chips I have ever had. My kids loved it. It has a very homely small-town feel to it. You get your fish wrapped in a newspaper (like it should be) and it tastes great. Drawbacks include a lack of seating (it's takeout only!) and a limited menu (literally only fish and chips). You line up, pay for your meal (it's relatively affordable), get your packet and leave. Yum!

Alexandra Schizkoske

Best poutine in Brockville.

Bryan Andino

My wife has been hyping Don’s for some time now, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s everything I hoped it would be. Delicious poutine, and some of the best fish & chips I’ve had yet.

Janani Bakthavathsalam

Based on google reviews tried the Fish & chips from Don’s ,we ordered Haddock fish the taste was really good and a must try. But the poutine sauce was quite salty than expected but still could rate 3/5.

Ralf Winter

Well I been doing here since first started working in the area about 6 years ago it's always been good. The last couple.times though....ummmm hmmmmm wellllllll I considered going back to see.if they would cook it better....I'm not one for battered anything but I made exception cause they at least cooked their fish enough so the batter was.cooked but not the last couple times. Thought maybe was just that time. I get my stuff and go usually passing through so by the time I get to eat it...theres no going back to take it back. Doughy raw.dough is.bleh sorry Don's had I.decided to drive the half hour back your way I would have told ya in person.

Kayne Williams

Great food, great social distance set up!

Peter Feig

Great fish and chips, I have ate here all my life.

Jamie M

Fantastic fish and chip. Best fries I've ever had with a fish and chips .

Chantal Aubin

Way too greasy for my liking. My husband only took one bite and threw them out. I was starving, so I had 5 bites, and threw mine out too. To each his own....

Tony Ttiger555

Portions are huge and the fish tasted amazing

Kandyce Warner

Used to go here all the time but have been disappointed the last few times. Fish was abit dry and fries aren't cooked enough for my liking. I have asked for extra well done for my poutine each time, but each time looks exactly the same as my husband's and is not marked so I just don't really enjoy it. Friendly staff though and my kids love the pogos.

Josh Hyde

Great batter and chips.

Bob Mess

Great food! A Must Try if you are spending time in Brockville

Larry Easter

A busy place to get food for a good reason. Always excellent fish and chips.

Jacob Khesin

Haven’t had dons in years in it’s even better then I could have ever remembered! 11/10 some of the best local food the 1000 islands have to offer.

Cindy Marcuz

Was delish.

Sally Chau

Amazing Fish & Chips! We ordered the large which had 2 big pieces of fish and lots of fries. We split the large order between 2 people. Don's is very close to the waterfront, they wrapped our order in newspaper and we walked down to the waterfront to eat.

Mike

Quick efficient service. Fish and chips always good.

Dania “dandouna” Wazzeh

The best fish and chip place around hands down. Try their pogos as well, they batter them in house with the same batter they use on the fish and it’s incredible. Love getting a large order and a bottle of yummy Jones soda.

Bonnie Campbell

Great family takeout Have lived in Brockville all my life and never miss a fish & chips meal. In summer/winter spend time at Block House Island enjoying our meal. Best food ever!

Farshad Murtada

Worth the drive

Terry Johansson

Fast and tasted fantastic.

Tony Hurtado

Incredible fresh fish and chips. Very generous with their portion size and great service too!

Zahra Nafar

One of the best fish and chips places in Canada. Great service and the locals are very friendly.

Curtis Humphries

Great fish and chips. Good portions.

Heather MacKay

Nothing like don's fish-and-chips for lunch at blockhouse island.

Bridget Vincelli

Every summer my husband and go to Don's fish and chips and then we take our food and go sit in the park to see the ships on the water. It is a perfect afternoon date trip. My husband has been going for over 40 years it is simply a family tradition. The authentic fish and chips are so yummy.

Morgan in Ontario

If you love raw batter. Come here

Daniel MacMunn

Always good!

Lucinda H

Best English style fish. Solid not-oily haddock if you get there before or after lunch hour rush. Occasionally too much breading if the fish piece they used was a small.

Laura Metcalf

Excellent fish and chips. Really worth going out of your way.

Aleatha Aiken-Sherrer

It's a local delicacy. I usually get a large poutine and a pogo. The poutine is generous, made with proper curd cheese, and rich dark gravy. I usually question my judgement ordering a large but, heres why.. Lemme tell you about the pogo. It's not just a regular pogo from a box. This one is battered in-house with that fluffy crunchy famous batter of theirs. Its perfect for soaking up the leftover poutine gravy.. there's a system! And it's amazing.

Eric Kitchen

Good fish&chips. Been buying them there for 45 years.

K Vlad

Amazing fish, very tender. The batter was golden brown with a nice crispy outside. The fries are fresh cut and cooked just right.

Joel Thomas

Picnic in the park with my hubby, fish was well worth the drive to Brockville for lunch Love that they are paper friendly.

David van Vliet

Great food and service

Darryl Denike

Great as always

Bill O'Neill

Don's Fish and Chips is a landmark dood place which continues to provide quality and quantity fish and chips. Friendly and capable staff make the process seamless.

Simon Abushaban

Good Fish and Chips, no seating but close to a park and friendly ducks.

Byron Blue

I don't want to leave that great of a review because it's already a busy place but DAMN gives the UK a run for its money.

Dan Istead

It's good but not out of this world. Fast and friendly service good portions. Personally found it a little to pricey for fish and chips thou. I'll stop again if in the area but not go outta my way kinda thing.

Tammy Markell

It was ok. Fries were good and fish was a little overcooked but not too bad. They don't have fresh made tarter or lemon slices or coleslaw. It was way overpriced for the quality.

Wissam EL-Aswad

We from Ottawa we had this for first time and best fish n chips I have had. Nice thin batter thick piece of fish. Juicy. Fries really good. Will definitely be going there next visit to Brockville. Little on pricy side but still good.

Rachel Hetu

A great place for Fish and Chips

Ben Deeke

Benchmark for The fish and chips.

Alistair Kim

Absolutely the best fish and chips I've had in a very long time

mcdonald doug

Great fish!!

TheJoySly

The best fish and chips ever.

David Sheard

Excellent fish and chips ... had the large haddock and there was plenty for 2 of us to eat

David Thompson

Although fish is not my favourite I quite enjoy the “chips” half of the meal. This restaurant is one of our local treasures. Anyone with a craving for fish and chips will quickly be satiated and satisfied soon after their meal. Highly recommended if you are in the Brockville area.

Dan Charron

It was great

Robert Kopersiewich

Great fish. Not very accessible for people with mobility issues

Andrew Levesque

This place never disappoints us. We are always very satisfied with the fish we order. We feel it is the best around. This is a must stop for us every time we come to Brockville.

Dustin Thorley

Don's makes delicious fresh fish and chips. To beat the long wait times when the crowd of customers is large, phone ahead to place your order then go to Don's for pickup 30 minutes after ordering.

ViperGamez

Excellent Fish and chips they follow Covid Protocol.

Joseph Panaro

Allways excellent,a little less chips than usual,continue to be less chips and have upped price.will go less and cease to tip

Kayleigh Wade

Great place for carry out fish and chips close to waterfront so you have somewhere to go to eat outside.

Morgan Belsek

This place is fantastic! The fish and chips is like going back in time to what it used to be before all the big chain restaurants took over.

Cahoon Acres

If you like deep fried fresh fish fillets and cartons to go, look no further. Really good fast friendly fish and chips place this is. A "must try" take out spot if you're on the road and passing through hungry.

Diana Denneny

THE authentic fish and chip in news paper. Oh and don't forget the salt and vinegar. Enjoy. (Y)

Glenn Ethier

The Half-Poo ( half poutine) is the best thing to order there also they have homemade footlong pogos, an array of battered fish either one is a meal paired with the Half-moon and not sure if she still works there but the girl with the black glasses and short hair makes the absolute best poutines..worth leaving and coming back later when she's working the best...I highly recommend dons fish and chips but don't recommend going during lunch hours during the week unless you like waiting in line

Paul C

Good fish and chips they need to make coleslaw and their own tartar sauce !

Karol G.

Always a treat

Vic Dohar

Best fish n chips

Shana Silva

Amazing food, great prices! Some of my best memories as a kid are going here with my grandparents! It can be a little hot if you're standing inside waiting for your food but that's the only downside I can think of.

Agam Inder

Good old fashioned style fish and chips.The staff were very pleasant and the prices are very good for the portions.We will be back for sure.

Donna Voss

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal! Only tricky thing was as a tourist finding where to eat for the family.

Lynn-Marie Shapcott

Best fish & chips!

Laura Breedon

We love coming here and not just because the food is amazing but the staff is awesome too (we are NOT related to any of them ????)

David Nemeth

chips were fantastic however the fish was way to over battered and wasn't really that good. Didn't get a plate to eat my food on or a container I could eat out of .

Dave West

A well oiled fish & chips production line hidden away in old Brockville - by the St. Lawrence River. Watching our order going through the process was amazing - a dedicated and very proficient team each performed their tasks in synchronism - order taken from the line of eager consumers, shouted out down to the fish fry station - fish dumped into a special deep frier under a watchful eye, payment collected - customer back into the queue in proper order - all the while the potatoes transitioning from 100 lb bags to cut raw sticks, then into the tub for a soak, then into an assembly line of deep fry baskets queued up for the deep dip into hot oil further down. Now the magic - basket of raw potato sticks plopped into an empty frier slot with a shocking sizzle as cold potatoes met boiling hot oil. 6 or 8 baskets were juggled by a master potato chef - baskets raised and lowered out and back into the oil to check their cooked status - then shifted out to sit a moment then back into a different frier - looked like a casino card dealer but the cards were baskets of fries! Meanwhile, the fish was almost done. The master fish chef made his call, removed the fish from its frier basket and passed it over to the bagger. He bagged the fish into a little bag. The potato symphony continued - baskets shifted from right to left as their potatoes reached their perfectly cooked state, then out they came onto the table to be bagged with the fish. The smaller bag with the freshly fried fish was slipped into a larger bag and then it was crammed with a huge helping of freshly cooked fries. The master bagger then grabbed the corners of the large over stuffed bag of fish and chips, swung it around a few times to seal the bag, then handed it over to the wrapper. He rolled the large hot steaming prize of fish & chips in newspaper, sealed it with a strip of tape and handed it to us over the counter. The whole experience was amazing! The wrapper, who was also the master fish chef and the maestro of the production line, said that the team processed about 1500 lb of potatoes per day. Apparently Don's Fish @ Chips has been in business here for over 60 years! It took about 15 minutes to complete our order and 5 minutes to consume it on the island park a couple of blocks away - boy was it tasty. There was nothing left for the seagulls!

Jason Mercier

Love this place. I have been coming here since I was a child.

Garry Craig

Great food and service.

Paul Pineo

Fantastic fish and chips. Worth the drive from Ottawa.

Duane Fitzpatrick

Fish was large and very meaty, fries also golden brown. Large servings. It takes us 90 minutes to get there but worth the drive.

Tim

Good fish & chips

John Rest

No wonder this place is rated 5 star! 1. So many fries they put them in bathtubs right in the shop 2. They wrap fish in newspaper like old school 3. They are a take out only joint with best food They been in brockville over 50 years and every time i pass by on the 401 we make it a habit to get off and get their food. the best!

Yu Xing

Awesome food

AlanaLindsay Bonford

Great food! Haddock was amazing will try the Cod next time! Highly recommend! Great to sit by the water and eat.

3 Cheese

What an awsome place! From the states and visited while we were in Canada. Wish we had one close by!

clint butler

Extremely disappointed Drove from Ottawa, exclaimed my excitement to the staff of how far i went to try these "famous" fish and chips. Was told by a friend to try the haddock. So i did. Told the staff to make it the large order because i wanted to enjoy as much as possible after the long drive. The staff were polite and told me that there was a place to sit in walking distance about five minutes away. It was raining and i wanted to stay dry while i indulged. Found the park and sat under a tree. A raim storm came down, which I'm fine with. Except... My fish, with EXTREMELY thick batter, was raw and, goey and imcooked about three mm around the fish. I scooped it with my finger and it was like wet white glue. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE RAIN pouring down I would have gone back to show them .... Instead there was an eager seagull there waiting for it (perhaps this is not the first uncooked fish from Don's they have loitered around for in wait. So I fed the bird with it. ) Needless to say I was extremely dissapointed. It was not worth the hour drive from Ottawa The chips were ok. But no different then any local chip truck experience. The real bang was supposed to be the fish and I was severely disappointed Side notes: there are a few parking spots available. No wifi. And no washrooms.

Eric S. Periard

Pretty basic fish and chips, cost 75$ for 3 people and they didn't provide fresh sauce. I don't vote against, but I've had better.. .

C.J Finnie

Recommended by friend took Sunday drive from Kingston. Small local shop, prices reasonable, few waiting. Our order was timely, went to blockhouse Island to eat lunch. The fish was stick shaped, battered & deep fried. Cruncy outside but soft doughy inside. I peeled the fish apart from the batter, it was delicious. Fries were crunchy & over cooked. I ate few fries. It was not to my liking at all. Less batter would be better. My husband ate his fish & fries. C.J

Ella Langenderfer

Excellent F&C. Grab an order and head to Blockhouse island. ????????

Karen Melrose

Very old fashioned fish and chips. Still served in newspaper ???? Fresh fries

Ian K Plunkett

Best fish & chips anywhere around. Worth a drive from Ottawa.

KMM

Good fish and chips

Garth Taylor

Fish and chips are good me and my wife keep going back despite the limited parking space it's well worth it

Keith Gardiner

Fantastic place to go always busy but the line goes fast. They know their job and do it. It is so worth the wait. Fish and chip is the best. Everything is fresh and homemade batter so are the pogos

Sharon Zakos

Was disappointed in Don's today. The fish batter was sought. Remember it being a lot lighter batter. Have not been in a long time. I was looking forward to it. Fries were Delicious.

Les Forest

An essential part of Brockville. Delicious fish and chips!

Jon

Best fish and chips in Brockville

Alexander Doucette

Excellent

James Cooper

Whenever I'm in Brockville I try to make a stop at Don's. This is a take out only establishment, but there's plenty of parks nearby that you can take your food to eat. Some of the best fish and chips I've ever had!

Maz Pardhan

Great fish and chips, large portions, fresh and delicious. Quick service, friendly employees.

Herve Cavanagh

All great food. Nice park nearby to sit and eat

martin forcier

Best fish in Eastern Ontario and maybe all of Ontario. Great fries and pogos too.

Mark Church

Consistently very delicious. Normally busy but worth the wait.

Ezekial Prince

Amazing poutine! The Haddock is delicious! Hand cut fries on site! Great food.

Samantha-Lee Comtois

THE Best fish and chips. Always come here for my fix!

Han Chen

I can honestly say that is the best fish and chips I’ve had in my life. Wow what a great meal. It’s worth pulling off the 401 for, that’s how good it was. I’m coming back for sure.

Shane Skinner

Great place for fish always

Alper Yilmaz

The best cod fish and chips I have had so far outside of Newfoundland. Their fries are also amazing! Don't expect a sit down place though. We ended up taking ours to the Marina and eating there on one of the benches.

Dianna Harvey

We stop here for fish and chips every time we are in Brockville. Best fish and fries around.

RONALD HOUGH

The fish batter was dry it appeared to flour and water no baking powder added to it It was also overcooked no moisture or flakiness to the fish.. I do have to say the fries where good.

Dave Ashton

Fantastic fish and chips! ???? Highly recommend ????

Matthew

they make great fish & chips very good service

Larry Hall

Teenagers need supervision to produce good food. Would get 5 stars if it was consistent food. Fries were hard/ not cooked on inside and fries stuck together. Didn't shake off excess oil. No the first time.

kirk romany

Best fish and chips in Brockville!!

Christopher Brown

Do not recommend this place. Food is great but the cashier is not. very rude and very aggressive with customers. Will not be making a stop the next time I’m in town. When ever she’s not working I’ll stop by

julie relaxing music

Great Customer Service and Great Food, will definitely be returning!

Leigh Keeler

Amazing as always. Good portions great food.

Landon Moroz

Was kinda hoping for a homemade tartar sauce but im not picky...fish was amazing! Another great thing is that there takeaway bags are wax paper lined so your food doesn't get soggy by the time you get home unlike most other take away places

Robert Franklin

great food excellent value

We love Don's. As one the local must go's , we take everyone who visits for the first or even the hundredth time here. There is something about that batter and the way they cook their fries that always keeps you coming back for more. If you want to ty something other than fish, their poutine and home made corn dogs are to die for. Stop in and you won't regret it.

Chris Howell

Great nostalgia - simple fresh ingredients, friendly staff. Love this place.

Pam Kellar

Best fish & chips ever. Every time we are driving by the 401, exit 697, we stop by Don's to buy their fish and chips. Worth it. Have done it for years now.

Chad Campbell

Best place ever to get fish and chips

Ryan Rickafeller Brassard

We've tried fish & chips at another place, but theirs beat them all. The cod fish & chip was amazing. Friendly people

Cheryl Smith

THE PLACE for fish and chips in eastern Ontario. I have friends that come regularly from Ottawa just for Don's fish and chips. You MUST try you won't be disappointed.

Eugene Stone

Can I give 0 stars? I will never come back to this place until I have found out the older lady on the cashier is gone... Must be the most rude, impatient, and snobbiest person I have ever met - for a first timer not knowing the menu, she did not help me out at all, only made me feel stupid - got in my face to yell the "correct" order... I did not enjoy my food from the mood she put me in - not nice at all... Teenagers were more pleasant than her.

Phil Patterson

This is the place to be at if you are a fish and chips lover. My cousin that was so impressed as he heard for years this was the place and he finally got his first bite! He lives hours away and he is planing to come back already. Calling it the best he ever had!

Gord Clarke

Great Food and Great Staff

Mike E

Always bang on Bit pricey compared to other places, but always good

Tom Beatty

Amazing food, good price, you get it quickly. Awesome!

nick

Love stopping in here whenever we are going through Brockville. Always a treat ????

Mark Wade

Incredible Fish and Chips with a great view of the waterway. Let me explain. There is physically no place to eat at Don's so you take your delicious fish and chips to the several places to sit overlooking the beautiful St. Lawrence and munch away.

Marten Burghgraef

Fabulous fish and chips.

Karol Pohl

Don's is takeout only with top-notch fish and chips. The chips are perfectly cooked and the fish is delish and perfectly battered. Don't forget the tartar sauce! And malt vinegar... and salt... and ketchup. Don's is near the waterfront so we took our meal down to watch the waves. A worthwhile stop in historic Brockville.

Christina Barcklay

Yummy! No seating though, take out only. Tons of fresh-cut fries! Take your meal down to the park by the water. Beautiful!

John Clarke

This is a great place to go for fish and chips. The fish was fresh and tender, the chips were browned to perfection. It's nice and close to the water so you can watch the boats while you eat.

Evan Thompson

We go here every time we are going through Brockville. Great fish and fries. Large portions and lots of fish; not just batter. Highly recommend ????

michael russell

The place serves great food. Doesn't take to long for them to make it. It is a good spot to grab some food for the family.

Andrew Cole

It was great. People very nice that took care of us and food was very good

Maryanne Onyshkiewich

Good. Expected more for 45 bucks.

Lee Chouinard

Some of the best fish and chips I've ever had.

Michael Eyre

Amazing fish and chips, can never go wrong with their food Been going 30 plus years. Photo below Newfie poutine

Sam Erler

Awesome. We love it.

Lateacher Stephen-Anderson

Best fish and chips in the area. I travel from Prescott just for their fish and chips. Plus thier online ordering is super easy

Robert

Big fan of Don's Fish and Chips. When ever we hit Brockville we always go down for some. Today i didn't enjoy it as usual, small strip of fish surrounded by thick batter, usually it's the other way around. And they never packed us any tarter sauce.

Heather Slack

Great fish and chips. Try the haddock, you won't be disappointed. I eat one peace with fries and I'm always satisfied. I always take it to the waterfront for a nice relaxing lunch.

Brian Gilroy

Cod was amazing as were the fries. We travelled 45 minues for this treat. Well worth it.

lois ross

Best F&C around but pricey

Shane Hawkins

Pretty darn good food

Olga Pekalska

Absolutely amazing and so fresh. Portions are fantastic and huge. 2 meals for me easy. My cousin told me about this place and I'll definitely keep recommending it and coming back anytime I'm in Brockville.

Zee Zee

Best fish and chips . Everytime I come from the GTA to Ottawa, its a must stop on the way .

tony rosebery

Very small piece of fish, unremarkable batter, bland sweet potato fries. We definitely won’t be back, as it doesn’t compare to Manoll’s- Manoll’s is the same price but big pieces of fish, better batter, better sauce.

Tanya Beaudette

Overpriced! We ordered COD Large orders, its buttery with heavy bread layer, and thin fish fillet.

Beverley Young

When I lived in Brockville, I was a regular visitor to Don's Fish and Chips. Now that I live farther away, I go less often however it is a great excuse for a day trip. I pick up my order of fish and sweet potato fries and head down to the park by the St. Lawrence River to enjoy the view. On my last visit to Don's this past summer, I was disappointed that the server didn't wrap my order in newspaper (English style) like they used to. Perhaps it has something to do with COVID rules or maybe the business has changed hands...I'm not sure, but I do hope they return to the former English style in the future. It's all part of the fun of unwrapping your fish and fries!

Mary Seckner

Don's has the best fish and chips that I have found. I travel from Kingston to go here for really tasty and fresh fish. I highly recommend Don's for a real taste experience.

Ellen Konrad

Great fish and chips.

Christine MacMillan

Best in the west, thin crust thick fish, not expensive for what your getting.

Janet Reynolds

Hands down the best fish and chips around! Never had a bad meal here, I would have added a picture but the food is gone faster than I can take my camera out!

Sheelagh Gladwin

Old fashioned British fish & Chips served wrapped up in newspaper. Great takeout, no dine in. However there is a wonderful park with picnic tables just a short walk away to enjoy your meal at. Large meal is served with 2 pieces of fish (haddock or cod) and plenty of fries. Tasty & fresh.

Chad Dyke

Fresh cut fries and crispy battered fish. Hot and tasty. Friendly owner. Located in historic part of Brockville.

Moods Events

Gast friendly service and excellent food! First time definitely the first of many visits - thank you Don's

Steve K

Shared the large platter, was delicious. Lots of fish and great batter.

Erin Nicholson

Very nice place...The guys working there are very efficient and orders are rapidly filled.....Food great!!!!

Marc C

The best as usual.

Vlad

Were the best in town but recent ownership change, I think has made them not "like they used to be."

OldKarz

Gary Munro

Whenever we get in the area ,we always stop in ,,Great Fish & Fries ,,and a Good conversation while you wait Can't go Wrong at Don's!!

Donna McGreer

Did not get extra salt and vinegar as requested

Istvan M

Loved this place. The owners were super friendly. It was clean, the food was reasonably priced and I really enjoyed my food. Large potions, cooked to perfection, and served hot in a timely manner. I often eat fish and chips, and this is by far the best I've had. Would drive over an hour just to have it.

Alex Lavigne

Great food. Lots of food... good price.

BRIAN ROBERTS

The best fish and chips around when in brockville never miss a meal there

Mark Baker

Best Fish and Chips out there!

Lesley Borden

It was my first time to Brockville and heard about Dons so definitely had to check it out! Being from Nova Scotia I do have high expectations and this definitely made it! I have to say the best fish and chips I have had!❤️❤️ You guys rocked it!!!

Jackie Baird

Great fish, always delicious, but the chips leave a lot to be desired.... Overcooked, and very soggy. Diamonds chips (Central Avenue) in Giant Tiger parking lot are 100 times better!!

Fiona MCM

Best pogos you'll ever have . Not typical store bought then deep fried these pogos are amazing .

Cathy

Excellent Food at Don’s Fish and Chips. Very unique flavour and taste of Fish and Chips. Really enjoyed a piece of Cod and Haddock as well as a Poutine. Very very friendly and helpful staff. Thanks for the wonderful service! Hope to visit next time I am in the area! Thank you and stay safe!

Daniel Boileau

Old English style fish n chips Brockville is well known for their fish n chips shops.. I wish they still wrapped your order in newspaper that was part of the experience and kept your order hot til you got home. (Manolls still does I believe) But all in all DELICIOUS!!

Af L

As always amazing fish & chips

Carlie Clark Wolsey

Best fish and chips in the province if not the country!

andre renaud

Best Fish &Chips anywhere!.

mike sabourin

DON'S FISH is always good. Their fries, not so much. They over -cook their fries, their fries are always too mushy and almost burnt. Fries Not good. Duncan, the Manager seems to be in a bad mood all the time. It wouldn't hurt for him to smile once in a while. I recommend you buy the fish at DON'S and get you fries at MANOLL's. But, hey, sometimes it's just too much trouble to go from one place to another, so people enf up Buying the mushy fries. Go eat your food by the Water Front, it's very beautiful AND PEACEFUL to watch those big boats pass by while you eat. OOPS OUR HYDRO JUST WENT OUT. BY FOLKS.

Sylvie St Denis

We drove 2hrs to be very disapointed as to the size of fish was extremely smaller than our last trip 2 years ago. they used to wrap the fish in newspaper and even made their own tartar sauce my husband also ordered a pogo which was cold and uncooked. the fish was still tasty but for the price NOT worth my money we each had 2 pieces of fish and chips with one pogo and 2 drinks for $53.00. Sorry to say but this is our last trip to Don's.

Laurence Antone

Very good and worth it. Got the mixed and it was perfect for both of us!

Judy Harper

Just as delicious as I remember ????

Kim Perkins

The cost has gone up and what you get is smaller and not the same way that it use to be I most likely won't be going there again

Paul Harvey

Phoned ahead, order was ready when I got there. Fish was piping hot as were the over generous amount of fries. Never a bad meal. Staff is friendly and courteous. Well done, again.

Lawrence McDougall

Tried the cod and it tastes great. Meaty and tender, and just the right amount of batter, not too much. The chips were good too. The car smelled great as we drove down the street to Hardy Park to dine at one of the several picnic tables there, as other reviewers have wisely recommended. This is an old-fashion chipper that reminds me of the ones in Ireland.

Jody Scott

Great service and pretty fast. Good tasting fish does not leave bad after taste in your mouth. Great portions of fish and chips. And the French fries alone are fantastic !!!

Dave Steele

Used to be the best fish and chips for miles! The last few times have been super greasy and disappointing. I don't plan to stop going though in case it becomes delicious again.

Roger Smith

Awesome local fish 'n' chips shack! Love how they pack everything in paper bags wrapped in newspaper!

Dr Greg Rogers

Little fish & chip hut. Usually quite busy and short on parking the few times I've been there. The fish & chips are delicious and served freshly cooked and hot. We typically have it as a picnic in the park, they have plastic cutlery, and fixings. If you can walk over I'd recommend it, very tasty!

Bill Calver

As advertised. A must have. Will return and I'm not a big fish and chips guy!

Steve McGowan

Just the best!

Dat Tran

Top notch fish and chips!

R W

The fish batter is fantastic,sweet,light, golden perfection..French fries are good but people line the block here to get the fish !

Brian Findlater

Way too much breading..... but I'm also not a fish and chips expert.

MP A.

I stopped here on my way from Toronto to Montreal. For a small quiet town, this place always seems to have a lineup. Best fish and chips I've had. The batter is not too thick so each piece you get is packed with fresh delicious fish. The large order is pretty massive and can easily be split between 2.

B 8

The fish had a burnt taste the fries were stuck together .and the oil the were cooked in was burnt.old and the price was crazy.i. wouldnt go here again

Steven Laurin

Delicious haddock and chips. The chips are especially good.

Donna Stryker

Don's Fish & Chips never disappoints. Best Chips in town. Batter on the fish maybe a bit thick for some, but it is some tasty.

Donald Wagar

Food was great and plenty of it. 3 single fish piece and fries fed 2 adults and 2 kids...

Christie O'Connor

Amazing fish and chips! Definitely a must ha e if you are in the area!

Claude Mongeon

Fish had gotten smaller for the price and the French fries are not the same as well I wont be returning

Saleem Wardak

Kinda pricey. Fish tasted good though.

George Neeson

Excellent foodand service. You won't find better fish and chips and the poutine is amazing.

Barb Blair

Absolutely the best fish and chips in the area! Located within a quick walk to a beautiful park with tables right on the river. It was the finish to a great day in Brockville!

Bernie Sorkin

Very disappointed. Batter too thick fries very greasy

Rose LaBreche

The Best fish always.

Eric Benson

Awesome place to grab a bite. Had the halibut and fries. They do a great job of both. The halibut was awesome and the fries were cooked twice I believe They say it's the best way to cook fries. Thoroughly enjoyed it by walking over to the park and enjoying under the shade of a tree. Definitely looking to have this again.

ryan eldridge

Really good Fish and chips, Excellent

Zohair Anwar

Clean and very friendly service.

Savitri Persaud

The Fish was one of the best we ever have...ever have the opportunity, Try it...

Dale Michaud

Very oily. Too much oil in the fries and fish

Tracey Walker

First time there & it was great. Luv how it comes in paper bag

Alexandre Cousineau

I've never had the fish and chips, because the poutine is sublime! I can't pass it up any time I'm passing through Brockville! This place is tiny, no frills, and fast. No seating or bathrooms, so plan on taking your grub and finding a seat at the park nearby. Or, park your car facing the water on the Block House Island Road loop and watch the boats go by.

Rent To Own Orleans

Speedy service, friendly staff. Prices are good considering the amount of chips you receive. The food is cooked to perfection and very tasty

Eileen DeWolfe (Wolfie)

Great food. Great prices

Steve Hart

Being from the East Coast I must say that their food is quite good as is their portion sizes. I would eat there again and would reccomend. Down side is they don't have their own tartar sauce. Easy to make and would really set this place off!

Ray Watson

Really good fish and chips for over 50 years.

Bruno Pelissier

We drive from Ottawa and my family drives from Cornwall to have Don's at least once a year. Such great batter and massive portions! I always have some to bring home for a midnight snack ;)

William Roberts

Fantastic fish and chips with big portion sizes

Coleen Swift

As always ,delicious fish and chips, friendly faces and conversation..all round clean, refreshing service. Thanks again. ????

Louise Ely

My wife and I grew up in the Brockville area and both agree that Don's has the best fish and chips in town. We tell everyone that visits Brockville to go to Don's Fish & Chips. We usually both want to go to Don's if we don't have other plans for lunch or supper when were there.

Antonis Pavlou

Great fish and chips, and service, from Don’s today! The small order was quite substantial - two pieces of fish and a filling amount of well done fries (my favourite!). They add salt and vinegar to your order if desired.

Sheldon

Food is usually good unless you get a poutine. Clearly they are scraping the bottom of the pot the gravy is in and you end up with big sludge like chunks of gravy, not really ideal for the price you pay.

Marc

Great place for takeout Generous portions Fast service.

R S

Ready within 10 minutes of ordering/paying, and they brought it out to my car. Delicious fish and chips.

Bill Britton

Delicious haddock and cod!

Sylvie Taggart

Don's Fish and Chips is my all time favourite place for fish and chips. It is always delicious and fresh. The staff treat you like family. It's perfect.
