Food is great some of the best fish and chips iv had. there isnt too much batter and a good size piece of fish. They also offer 2 different kinds of batter for the fish. There fried clams are pretty good to. I will forsure be going back they also offer take out which is pretty good to.
Skipper Jack's is a great place to go if you want good seafood for a decent price. My wife had the fish tacos featuring an excellent salsa and a good portion of fish. Very tasty. I had the 2 piece fish and chips which had 2 generous fillers and lots of delicious fries. Each meal was under $15. We left full and satisfied we got our moneys worth. Our food came quickly and piping hot. Recommend this little gem. 4 stars because it was a bit noisy. Only complaint.
A staff member made a mistake by putting another table members item on my bill. Rather than offering to fix the problem, they insisted that I pay for it. The food was good, the owner was nice, but being talked down to before I had left ruined my whole experience.
Our server was amazing - very friendly and helpful. The seafood chowder was outstanding ... loaded with seafood & no potato filler. Excellent. The fish tacos were good, but not great. The only reason we didn't rate 5 stars is because the fries were not very fresh - lukewarm & it seemed like the oil needed changing too. Other than that, it was a great experience & a clean, well-kept place.
Ask for the regular poutine with the creamy green onion gravy as a substitute. It's a great variation and they were happy to do it. Friendly staff, too!
Went in for the NS Halibut fish n chips. Man it was good. Nice piece of fish, chips were tasty, and they had traditional malt vinegar. To top it all off, a Newfoundland Black Horse beer! I'll be back for sure.
The fish was fresh, the fries were tasty!!! It was a wonderful experience that I plan to repeat as often as I can.
Made a place for us to sit. Very busy spot. Food was great. Scallops and shrimp were very tasty.
Food was really tasty. Service very good. Friendly staff.
My favorite take out restaurant, my kids love the food there always want to eat fish there. Excellent customer service. Friendly staff.
Enjoyed the food. Good quality and portions. Could have used more staff on. The ladies waiting tables were run off there feet.
Love those lobster rolls and fire cracker shrimp.❤️❤️❤️
Been here numerous times, it's a favourite place of ours and one of the best places to eat in Moncton. The seafood is amazing, always local and fresh. The Jack stack burger is simply amazing. Lots of variety and a great carrot cake made in house. The seating is good, as well as the atmosphere, usually lots of space and wait times aren't unreasonable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There were even highchairs available for our Son. Anyone looking for good seafood in Moncton , Skipper Jack's should be your first choice. Like I said, not just great seafood, but the rest of the menu is just as deadly. Give it a try!
Rare legit seafood at value price Got the seafood platter and although it looks kind of small they plate it too humbly. This is so legit so many places say seafood and few deliver! This platter; the clam strips are big, juicy and fresh. The scallops are huge and succulent. Shrimps are delicious and the price for all this is serious value. Highly recommend.
Awesome food and service
Most Tasty and fresh fish
Been here multiple times and had great seafood each time that was fresh. But even better is the top notch service I've come to expect.
Excellent seafood place with fresh selection. Had the large sample platter and i did not regret it. The fries were also very delicious.
Excellent ! We loved our experience. Nice peuple and Nice food. Thank you !
The fish n' chips were Delicious ???? The service was amazing and also very friendly
Good seafood restaurant with nice wait staff. Good fish and homemade fries.
Maritime seafood classics and more. The crunchy haddock fish tacos were amazing.
Delicious seafood chowder! Fast and friendly service. Good place for family and friends.
Stopped in with a VERY tight timeline. They were able to have me in and fed and out withing a half hour. And the fish and chips are SO yummy!!
Ate there a couple of weeks ago. The seafood platter was a special for Father's Day and was awesome. Would highly recommend Skipper Jack's. .
Skipper Jack's is a nice diner to take your family or friends out for a bite to eat. It reminds me of Newfoundland, with several seafood dishes. They have "newfie fries" which is similar to a turkey dinner poutine only without the turkey and cranberry sauce. Very good food.
The fish & chip was great as always! Got home opened the box and there was a note that said "extra piece on the house". Thank you, it was a nice suprise! Always good service and great food!
It was a busy saturday night but we were greeted properly and seated fairly quickly. Very happy with the on tap beer selection too. I had the lobster roll, hubby had fish and chips. We were very happy with our meal and the service. Huge portions. I would return and recommend this place.
Called in to place an order for pickup, was told we had to place order in store location which is fair. However, wanted seafood chowder and has a history of being 'sold out' or 'don't have a pot on' in the past. Opted for Gahan House instead particularly because the employee answering the phone was quite standoffish. Enjoy the food from previous visits, however only 3 stars due to unreliable chowder, standoffish employee, and having to drive over for the potential of not receiving what we crave. Probably won't attempt again after this.
Went last week for the first time and was even best that what I've already expected!!! Nice place and wonderful food
All Seafood dishes are served and prepared in the same way and taste the same. Breaded and deep fried!
Definately the place to go for fish and chips. Knowledgeable and very friendly staff make for a place that we will undoubtedly visit again...
The best spot for seafood in town! Reasonable prices, and the food is amazing! ????????
A gem of a place for fish and chips. Enjoyed my meal thoroughly and they serve your pop in a 510ml bottle which is a nice change to the normal can or small glass of fountain pop. Gravy was done right for the fries and while the coleslaw was minced, it was actually a treasure in it's own sense. I'll be back if I'm ever back in Moncton
HORRIBLE SERVICE! Took almoat an hour to get our food. Neither the waitress nor the owner seemed to even care! Just made stupid excuses. Although admittedly the taste was good, the portions are small. Will not be back.... too many other seafood choices to deal with this !
We decided to visit here for lunch today. What a pleasant experience! The place was clean, and the service was excellent. The waitress was knowledgeable, and helpful in her suggestions. Our kids ordered the grilled cheese and popcorn shrimp off of the kids menu, and were very happy. My wife ordered the fish and chips and commented that these were the best she had ever had. I ordered the Ships A-Hoy Platter....good amount of food and the seafood was excellent. Oh, the hand cut fries were very good also! Thanks for a great meal!!
Great chowder, but I would travel to Shediac for Captain Dan's for sea food, over going here
Service
The BEST lobster roll!! Lemony and light and delicious. And the fries and coleslaw were awesome too. Friendly service! Great family spot.
I've only been for a couple taco Tuesdays so far but it's a homerun Everytime so far. Love it.
First time there and it was Great!!! The food was delicious and staff was friendly. Quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Was there around 1pm.
Service
The seafood chowder and crunchy fish and chips are amazing. The waitresses are friendly and attentive. No trip to Moncton is complete until we have eaten at Skipper Jack's. Strongly recommend this restaurant.
Super fast service and delish food! Very reasonable prices as well. Staff is very friendly. Washrooms and seating area clean too.
Good location. Restaurant needs a minor revamp (our booth's leatherette crack). Strong smell of grease. Food taste & quality was great. Server was fantastic. Will return :)
The best poutine out of Quebec I've ever had, the fish and chips was just as delicious. So much so that I wished I was staying longer near by to try more of the menu. The menu is one of the better ones I've seen, great selection and value for what you pay. It was packed in there and mostly New Brunswick license plates, so if the locals go it's gotta be good.
Love this place. Food ❤. Fresh. Staff nice
Absolutely loved the seafood chowder. One can definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients given the huge chunks of seafood! Yum. Definitely the best one I've had yet
Amazing food awesome service
Oh, man... try the lobster poutine. Staff were friendly, place was clean and well maintained. Prices were fair. Had we been in town longer I would have gone back to try more on their menu because everything looked great. Went with the lobster poutine and it was incredible.
The food was GREAT. Best seafood I"ve had in a long time. Friendly staff. Will go back.
Fantastic fish and chips. Best seafood chowder I've ever had. Travelled the east coast for my honeymoon and Skipper Jack's was my favorite restaurant of the whole trip.
Best service I've ever had. People are amazing and food is great.
Delicious fried clams and mussels. Great service.
Those had to be the worst fish n chips I've ever had. Soaked with grease and barely any fish inside the batter, would not recommend
I had the festive poutine. It was the best poutine I've ever had. It included fries cheese curds, a delicious gravy and big pieces of turkey and stuffing. The side of cranberries with a hint of cinnamon was so yummy! The portion was large too! I will be back soon to have it again.
Very friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere, rich menu and tasty food. They welcome kids too with nice choices. They have platters for sharing at reasonable prices.
First time to eat here at Skipper Jack's... OMG was it good! I ordered the regular bacon cheeseburger and poutine. The burger was amazing! I bet it had to of been at least 5oz of burger, it was huge! The bun was toasted too. Poutine was just as good, lots of cheese curds. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone out there. You won't be disappointed ????
FRESH, FRESH, FRESH!!!!!!!! Awesome food. We have eaten here 3 or 4 times and the food is phenomenal! There tends to be a little wait when it's busy but a little patience pays off with the best seafood you will ever taste!!!
Started with the calamari and had the walnut breaded fish as a main. First time seeing nuts in fish breading, but it gave the filets a very interesting taste!
The food is terrible and greasy . Never cooked properly
Skipper Jack's never disappoints. It is my go-to seafood place. Their Jack-Stack burger also has my husband's vote of best burger in the city.
Fries were over cooked. Fry basket black marks. I asked if it was new oil. Our waitress said it was new potatoes. I did not enjoy them. Disappointed in the poutine as well.
Meal type
Really good value for what you get. Generous portions, variety of menu items, and everything was amazing. My kids raved about the chowder and pretzel battered fish. Excellent wait staff, don't forget to tip to support a great restaurant and staff.
We were a party of 4. Our order took an unusually long time to arrive but when it came it was piping hot and delicious. 2 ordered the fish and chips, one had the platter and I had the seafood chowder. The seafood chowder was one of the best I've ever had! And I've eaten a LOT of chowder! The fish was good, fresh and flakey. Only 1 piece out of the 4 was slightly overcooked. The fried clams were delicious and the bacon wrapped scallops were especially yummy. Skipper Jack's is my new go to place for chowder!
Staff and food were 10/10! Was my first time there and can't wait to go back! I had the clams and they were to die for. Next time I'll be getting the seafood platter.
Dine in
Food was ok at best. Only had 3/4 of what was on the menu my suggetion is they should do away with the menu and let ppl know what they have from the start pissed i never seen arbys before i went there
Used to be our favourite restaurant. The last few times we've had very long waits and the food hasn't been up to the usual standard. It's still really good, but not as good as we had become accustomed to from Skipper Jacks. Won't be back for awhile but we will certainly give it another chance in the future.
Great food, great service. Had a great first experience.
I'm not a seafood lover but Only tried the fish and chip but was quite surprised it was very good
Very yummy seafood and everything you would want. Delicious
Very good seafood. Very fresh and lightly battered. The platter is plenty for 2 and is not at all greasy.
Really good fish and chips. fish tacos are really good too. One of the best coleslaws I've ever had
Meal type
Great food, great service, great memes. The fried clams is amazing. Do it. It might be busy tho so call in advance, probably.
We’re seated promptly water brought, food brought which was good. Then not talked till it was time for check had to ask for the gravy which she up sold and malt vinegar not brought or extra tartar sauce asked for. Very bad service on waitresses part may be we weren’t dressed fancy enough as we were still in work close. Very disappointed.
*quaint Moncton seafood house conveniently located near Trinity, inspired menu, gracious staff & very reasonable prices
In-town seafood with a decent selection. A little pricey compared to going to some other seafood outlets. The car park could use some work. Great service and clean restaurant with good food.
Delicious crispy fish burger!
Great seafood and my daughter loves their thick delicious milk shakes ????
Best Coleslaw I've ever had in a restaurant ????
Amazing food. Fish tacos were so good!
Wow..first time at this restaurant and it was excellent. We're not from Moncton and didn't know where we should go for a good seafood supper. SKIPPER JACKS was THE place Excellent service was given to us by ALL the waitresses! So very attentive and pleasant..they know costumer service and aim to please as they do please. Can't say enough about those ladys(and I did see one gentlemen waiter) The food was excellent. Hands down the best seafood dinner I've had in a very long time. The cook was hidden but his expertise was shown in his food Go to SKIPPER JACKS! I highly recommend this family friendly casual restaurant.
Good place. I feel like the cost was 3 dollars more than what I got. The crispy breading on the fish is good.
First visit and can't wait to come back! Wife said scallops were the best she ever had and the seafood snack that was recommended to me gave me a taste of everything... the fish is amazing! Also, the waitress was funny, attentive and she had a great personality!
Great Fish and chips. Fries were amazingly NOT greasy. I liked the battered fish better than breaded, but they were both good
Burger was cooked to my liking. Homemade burger and hand-cut fries. First time here and it won't be the last. I'll have to try there festive poutine next time . Was not disappointed and the cost was just right.
Ordered the two clams and scallops for 22.00 they were so gross didn't seemed even close to being deep fried it was soggy and just plain blaaaaaa threw 85% of it away. Fries were good but can get fries good anywhere was very disappointing cause the pictures it looks great, wont be ordering here again
I've been twice now and both times I was not disappointed, by far the best fish and chips I've eaten since moving to New Brunswick from Ontario.
Freshest and best quality seafood in town, creative dishes, lots of variety and locally owned - doesn't get any better than this for a true maritime food and hospitality experience!
Being new residents we have only eaten here twice. Everytime, both my wife and I have enjoyed our meals. Excellent service and extremely tasty meals. Never been disappointed. Cutting into my fish I could see it was pure white and very flakey, as it should be. No over powering "fishy" taste to it. Nor was it overly oily. Fully pleased with both our meals. We will definately both be back to enjoy another meal in future. Let it be known that the current COVID protocols are being used here and we both appreciate their thoughtfulness. Hoping to be out of this pandemic soon. Both my wife and I entered wearing our masks. Used their available hand sanitizer. Took our masks off for our meal and put them on before leaving. Once again sanitized our hands as we left.
Dinner
Stopped in on the recommendation of a local. Was not disappointed. Enjoyed the Parmesan and Pretzel crusted fish, with coleslaw, and my coworker convinced me to have the Hot Mess dessert. I am happy that I am easily led, because everything was spot on, including the Pump House Blueberry Ale. The service was very good, and the staff, very friendly.
Had the large clam and fries, great clam and fries. The only thing is i ate most of fries that doesn't happen in Cap-Pele. ✌
Went here for fish taco Tuesday, and it was one of those experiences where halfway through you think you're robbing the place for how good the food is, and for how cheap it is. Great little spot that seemed to be incredibly popular with locals.
If you are looking for fish and chips, then this is the place to go.
On our travels, decided to try this restaurant because my wife wanted fish and chips. Food was very good. Chips were made from real potatoes with the skins on and I would say based on the appearance that the potatoes were fresh as well. None of those frozen packaged fries so many restaurants serve. We also shared a bowl of mussels as an appetizer, plenty for two to share with a nice broth for dipping. Fish portions in the fish and chips were adequate but not quite as large as the menu blurb implied. Each piece was a slab about three inches wide and 5 or six long. Tasty and not overcooked. We would definitely go here again.
Excellent Lobster roll, fish and chips very good, staff was friendly, easy to find. Close to Costco.
Food was excellent but even better was the fantastic service. Being a server myself , pre bussing was top notch ;-) thanks for the experience
The service is the best, these gals make eating there a real pleasure, food is # 1!
Over cooked and greasy, don't bother. Lots of better seafood places in the area that ate better.
We ordered the Deck Hand, it is a combo of Shrimp and bacon wrapped scallops. The shrimp were way over cooked, our waitress was busy so another came over and asked what was wrong. She argued with us that that was the way they should be since they are deep fried and the coconut burns before they can cook, i argued they were dry and way over done. She came back from the kitchen with empty plate and asked that I put my shrimp on the plate, after about 15 minutes she came back with more shrimp minus the one as I had eaten one of the burnt ones. Very poor service very disappointed. Scallops and sweet potato fries very good. Unfortunate we felt so uncomfortable . 2 waitresses where wearing plastic mask that were not safe at all. All around unpleasant experience . Not sure if we will be back.
Went here because it was rated best seafood in Moncton on Google. Maybe I have been spoiled with other places in the east coast but wasn’t hitting the mark. Service was very good as a positive.
I always get the Walnut crunch fish n chips. Love it. Staff are very friendly and restaurant is very clean.
Very good restaurant with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. Amazing food I definitely recommend the bacon wrapped grilled scallops and the shrimp. Kind of expensive but overall very good
First time at Skipper Jacks last night. We were served very quickly and our waitress Karen was awesome. Food was amazing.
Our visit was generally pretty positive. the service was great and the food was well presented, the only thing I would comment on is that it was not as good as I expected
Excellent experience, great food and the staff was 100%.
I love trying new places and found their menu is quite creative, I can't wait to go back
Very disappointed that they have gone to Frozen fries. Use to go there for their fresh cut fries. Will have to find another spot.
Great food! Wonderful service!! Really make you feel Welcomed!!!
Service was slow. Food was ok.
Restaurant is nice. Waitress was good. I had the fish and chips not good. The fish was a little under cooked and left a puddle of grease on my plate. The fries were a little over cooked.
Just a warning to everyone who is gluten free. I fully recognize that unless a place is fully certified it's not guaranteed to be gluten free. However for the most part I've been able to work around it. Except here. When I got to the restaurant I asked them what is gluten free the first waitress gave me my options. Another waitress who took our order told me some of that is wrong. I had her clarify with the back. I ordered the walnut crusted fish which is considered gluten . I then asked if the fries were fried in oil with anything that has gluten she said yes. I told her I was not able to have them because of the cross conaminations which makes it not gluten free. My order comes with mashed potatoes and my walnut "crusted gluten free" fish just as I'm about to eat it my friend asked are you sure that's not fried. And it was fried in the same oil as everything else. Anyone who is truly gluten free please be careful here!
Try the fish with crushed walnut breading. It’s beautiful. Fries were crispy! Very good coleslaw. Couldn’t finish what was on my plate.
Dine in
Fish and chips were really good. Portions were huge. 2pc fish fed us both with a few French fries left over.
Quaint little sea food place. Good food and friendly staff. Couple of menu items that I want to go back and try.
Great food and service as always. I had the chowder and it was packed full of seafood.
This restaurant is great every day of the week, but I especially love Tuesdays as they offer Taco Tuesdays with $2.50 Fish Tacos. They are sweet and savory, and light. They have a mixture of house made corn salsa, and a spicy cream sauce. They are absolutely delicious. I’ve also had a number of other dishes here, including the fish, and the lobster grilled cheese sandwich. The quality of the food that comes out is always consistently delicious. I highly recommend trying this restaurant!
Good food, reasonable pricing and friendly. The gentleman who greeted us at the door to sit us down was very polite, friendly and sincere in his actions. Very welcoming man and helped us with questions we had on what to eat. Busy place but turned tables over quickly (not rushed to eat). As stated, food was fresh and tasty.
Eat here often enough to be called "regulars" by the friendly staff...food and service has always been A1.
I love fish & chips . Had them all over the eastern Canadian sea shore. This was definitely the best fish I've had that I can remember !
my last seafood meal in maritime. lobster roll and chowder are good. fish and chips also good.
Delicious tacos and sweet french fries. Very good staff.
First time there very good food. Got take out place looked fairly busy and it still went fast ! We will be going back! :)
For a place claiming to be good for kids, the marketing is inappropriate and immature. The portion to price ratio isn’t all that great either!
Delicious seafood and the best french fries I've had in years! Definitely will be going back!
This restaurant is amazing. You are looking for fresh seafood you must go at Skipper Jack’s. Food is so delicious! I recommend.
Taco Tuesday and covid compliant. What else can I say? Delicious as always.
Awesome fish tacos, very pleasant staff and excellent fair prices. Worth a stop!
Oh my goodness! This place is amazing!! The tartar sauce is to die for and the coleslaw is delicious. We had the Ships Ahoy platter and the fish burger and both were fabulous. We couldn't stop talking about how flavorful the food was and how generous the servings were. It was a very good amount of food for the price. The service was very good and quick. I am thoroughly impressed!
This was my first time at Skipper Jack's. Super friendly staff who even made recommendations. I ordered take out and I was not disappointed. Ordered 2 fish and chip with both types of fish. Ol' English and Krispy. All of it was perfect. Fish was perfectly prepared and fries had just the perfect amount of crisp. By my opinion the best fish and chips in town. I will definitely buy again and recommend.
My new favorite place ! Thank you for your kindness and the good meal !
The lobster club was the best lobster sandwich I've ever had!!!!
Outstanding! From the street we thought it was like a fast casual place, the servers were a bit overwhelmed so close to closing time but the food was excellent!
The lobster roll had giant delicious chunks of lobster! I was not disappointed. Service was excellent and very friendly.
Fresh fish , not frozen. Excellent cooking, not over or under cooked. Excellent batter with pretzel parmesan, and the other one with walnuts. Cozy and great service. ????
Very great food highly remend this place so good.Great staff 10 out of 10 for me .Great job guys
Loved it any chance the resturant could identify with weightwatcher s points n values ??? We will be back Thanks Mar n Mer
Everytime we go... fresh, fried well and seasoned! Good portion size.
Excellent seafood. The service is very friendly and reasonably fast. Prices are average for this level. We enjoyed the clams as well as the fish & chips.
There was glass in my ice cream about 7 years ago, glad to see nothing has changed. It adds a nice textural variation t'the soft creem and whatnot. Unfortunatley, did not see any food, and neithr did my wife's boyfriend. My wife said she thought she saw a crab, be then changed her mind. 5 stars
Food is very good, staff are very very friendly. reasonably priced, try Lobster roll you going to love it. But the restaurant is always busy have a little patient going to love it
Awesome!! We had 8 people order a variety of dishes, and everyone enjoyed their meals. I found the price for a few things was a bit more than the portion size was worth - but really that was just personal opinion. If you are looking for amazing seafood, look no further and give them a try! :)
The four of us traveling together looked forward to have a meal at this highly recommended restaurant. The food was very good but somewhat over priced on some items. The server was friendly but messed up my wife's meal which she admitted was the second time this week she had messed up the same item for another patron. We had all but finished our meals when my wife got hers. There was NO consideration for the inconvenience which in my opinion fell short of what would be considered warranted justification for the low rating. Thanks for you response Skipper. I accept your justification on the pricing. However with respect to the inconvenience and order messed up it wasn't the case of a new team member and it wasn't a playing error. My wife ordered the scallops and sweet potato fries. She was brought fried clams & regular fries by a different server which was immediately returned. Shortly after our server apologized and told us she did the same thing earlier in the week to a different patron. We are currently in Bathurst then to PEI returning to Moncton on the 6th and 7th. We will give Skipper Jack's another opportunity to live up to the recommendations we have received
Love Tuesday night fish taco. Great flavor great price
Always good, always fresh from the sea !
The sevice was great and the food fresh and tasty. The kids demand that we come again.
Great food and a little pricey. Nice people and very clean.
Lobster roll was partially frozen meat on a hotdog bun with minimal lettuce, poorly mixed, paid for double meat and still barely received an average serving for a lobster roll. One of the worst hamburgers we've had in a long time also. Food is not worth the price.
Love their fish and chips...cozy atmosphere
One of the few only real seafood restaurants in town,very reasonably priced
I sincerely hope that this was an outlier situation. First off, my server was rather blunt and bordering rude when I simply asked what came standard on one of the burgers. The menu provided no info on several items and if all staff are like the lady I got. I hope you like eating blind. The food I was burger I was served was passable at best. The bun was drenched in butter and the burger was very thick but looked out of place as it only filled 60 of the bun space.
The food is actually good, but the pricing is as though it were gourmet instead.
Food was really good and service was good as well but slightly overpriced
One of the best places in town for seafood! Awesome poutines, and best fish tacos in town! You won't find better fish tacos anywheres else around! To top it off Taco Tuesdays grants you fish tacos at 2.22$ a piece!! Loved my experience here, during lunch and supper it can get crowded but you won't be deceived! Oh and great customer service!
O M to the G, the burger is awesome and the wife is having the fish and it's very delicious. I highly recommend Skipper Jack's
Soooo good. it is a must eat. service is fast and friendly and the food is fanomanal. the homemade tartar sauce is some of the best I've ever had and if you go you need to get the seafood chowder!!! every bite was filled with lobster, scallops, fish, or shrimp. would recommend 10/10
We have ordered fried clams from this establishment before and always enjoyed them ordered take out today large fried clam dinner and they were the worse fried clams we have ever had the necks were so tough it was like chewing on leather and for the price there were not very many just as well as we ended up throwing out most of them.
Just finished off my shrimp tacos, I think I might go every Wednesday that I can from now on. Absolutely delicious. Even cold. Well done!
Delicious food and always excellent service
Great service and fresh local food.
The mussels were great as was the seafood chowder. My wife also enjoyed her fried scallops. Service was especially good which we appreciated very much given that we arrived just before closing.
The fish is delicious! ....Light breadcrumb batter is perfect!
Good food and great service at Skipper Jacks. The fish cakes were delicious and mashed potatoes and gravy were so yummy! Loved the coleslaw too!
Love coming here. Food is always great & great service. ( from Ontario )
Everything was absolutely awesome here. Will definitely be back.
Best fish and classic I've had in a long time great service
Great service. Tasty food. A little pricey but worth the experience.
One of my go to restaurants when in Moncton. Food is consistently delish and the ladies are so friendly!
My family (5 adults and 1 child) entered the restaurant around 4:30. We were being seated to a certain table and we asked if we could sit at the half booths instead. We were told they were going to busy later so couldn't. There was only one other table of customers at the time. The waitress seemed to care more about the potential customers than those she had in front of her. We did not stay.
I loved the fried calamaris
Had the lobster roll. It was delicious. The waitress was very friendly. A very nice restaurant that is owned locally. I would recommend a visit.
Great experience! We were probably their last round of customers towards the end of dinner shift. Restaurant was incredibly busy with takeout at the front door throughout our dinner. This place was very popular with local people. Many customers knew the servers by name. First thing the server said to us was "Thank you for coming here to dine with us!" He was sincere and friendly, and honestly it was the first time I have heard a restaurant staff saying such a thing. Sadly you can feel the impact of covid-19 Pandemic in this industry. Food was fresh from ingredients to cooking. Everything was cooked perfectly and old fashioned, the way it should be with these type of food. I will definitely go back again.
The would't honour their facebook special that was posted earlier the same day :( but their food is always top notch!
Omg there fish is awesome but there seafood platter is to die for, fish taco's r good
If you enjoy seafood and are ever in Moncton you have to eat here.
Excellent food and service. A must try.
Great food, Great Service and Great prices!!! Can't beat that combination. Highly recommend this establishment
AMAZING! From Start To Finish. Skipper Jack's Maritime Restaurant Is A MUST TRY & MUST GO BACK! Their Staff Are Super Friendly And Knowledgeable. The Place Is Impeccably Clean And The Food Is Second To None ( Specially For The Price) Go There, Eat, Be Happy! You'll Love It!
Showed up with a group of 12 which they were able to accommodate. Great food and excellent service. Highly recommended. Very good Greek salad and excellent lobster roll.
Fish is excellent with either batter. Clam batter better. Best we have had in area. Lobster roll good and tender.
Wow...we search everywhere looking for awesome fish and chips and this ties for 1st place with a restaurant we have relied on for years. We are always looking for the best seafood and I cant wait to go back here and try something else. The food was the least greasy of any place we have ever eaten. Like it was air baked...but crazy crispy! Husband had something with skewered scallops shrimp and a pile of lobster on a salad....couldn't stop talking about it! Just simply incredible!!
Lobster club!!! Great atmosphere for a family or a date night. Staff made it feel like home. Food was AMAZING!!! Great meal. My new al around favourote spot in NB!
Love the food and presentation. Their staff are very accommodating and treats every customer their family.
Skipper Jack's always has delicious food and fast, friendly service.
Great service great food.
Food was great, service was prompt, and they had the necessary Covid practices in place. Our waitress was fantastic as well.
They have an awesome seafood chowder and walnut crunch battered fish and chip. The best in town and their food is always consistent. We love it.
Waitress mentioned facebook special, it was perfect. My favorite was the scallops as they were so fresh and yummy! Plate had clams, scallops, 1 piece of fish, fries, coleslaw, tartar sauce, all for $15.99
The BEST tartar sauce in Atlantic Canada! You could dip an old sponge in it and go back for more.
We love this place and go there often when the restaurant is open. BUT did the order and pick up tonight to try it and was so disappointed. The size of the fish was like a long skinny banana. Not like we are used to getting when we order our usual 2 fish one chip. Will not be doing that again. Really disappointed.
visited Aug 30th - ordered fish&chips and lobster roll with extra lobster the Fish portion was done panko style, however a bit on the oily side, however the chips made up for it, I knew NB was famous for her potatoes but I was not able to fully appreciate it until today! the lobster roll with extra lobster was absolutely crazy......and for only $25!!!! ps. next time we visit, I would skip the fish&chips and instead go for the fish tacos, the tables around us ordered it and it looked simply amazing pps. we appreciated the super friendly service also!
Good food, good service
The best clam chowder we had ! Seafood platter was ok at best , the shrimps and scallop were very good but the clams were barely there.. fish tacos was good ! Would come again for clam chowder !
Great prices and the food was phenomenal! Their seafood chowder was one of the best we had!! Also, loved their mussels and the service provided!
The food and service at Skipper Jack’s was great! I went back in August and was pleasantly surprised with how fresh and tasty the seafood was. We ordered the Ships A’Hoy Platter which provides a good variety. Our favorite was the Big Boat Shrimp and Fish & Chips. I’m only giving 4 stars because the Steamed PEI Mussels we ordered were kinda small and only tasted okay compared to the rest of the meal. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic!
It was very good!
Went here a few years ago and the food was plentiful and delicious. Decided to try again because we remember such a good experience. We were seated quickly but it took at least 20 minutes for someone to come and take our order and then another 50 minutes for our food to come. It felt like we were the forgotten table. The food was okay but I wouldn't have the kids order the kids menu popcorn shrimp again. It didn't look fresh and they got three tiny shrimps and a few French fries. As for our adult food we shared a seafood chowder which was delicious and a platter which had great grilled scallops but a bit greasy for the rest of the food.
Would have gave it 5 stars but waitress was in a mood today. Keep smiling. Fish and chips awesome as always!
Amazing food. The quality was great, the portions are generous and the wait staff is super friendly. I recomend the chowder!
I was really surprised how good the food was there. Friendly and prompt service. I would recommend this place for the quality of taste.
Best fish tacos in town!! Great place, laid back atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!
The food was great, but the service was pretty slow. They were very busy, but my 20 minutes wait turned into 50. Otherwise, the food was hot, well cooked and good quality
First time here and the food was amazing... We will be returning.
Cooks not wearing gloves or masks. What a filthy place . Walked out before I paid for my order.
Super friendly! Food came out quite fast & the lobster was definitely bigger than average! Would recommend.
Omg this place is amazing! The gluten-free options are small but so mighty, I never thought I would love a sea food chowder so much and a wonderful peanut butter cheese cake. My husband said the fish and chips where the best he ever had. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, service wonderful and place is so nice. Thank you for such a great experience.
ordered the grilled poutine sandwich and while it likely appreciably shortened my lifespan it was delicious. Served with a side of fries which only acts to make it more ridiculous
Its a very nice looking place. The restaurant area looks very clean and the decor is very nice not to mention the food is great.
Great food, quick service.
This place has pretty good mussels and lobster roll. I also had the fish taco, amd it was amazing
Good service. Great food. Definitely go back
Fresh fish and good services.
I have been here a handful of times now and find it to be easily the best seafood in Moncton.
We enjoyed a great lunch. White fish, clams, scallops and lobster. Our server Ruth was tentative and sweet. I would return.
The server was quick to come and take our order, she even engaged with my son and to top it all off the food was delicious will be reccomemding this establishment to friends and family !
We are from Ont and had the Halibut .The best I have had !!!
We went with our two young boys. They enjoyed the grilled cheese. I had chowder and sandwich and it was good. We started with mussels and they were not very good flavor. My husband had clams and honestly they were gross. They had bug ones that were fully of what looked like diarrhea and it went all over his plate. They should have noticed this before serving. We had heard great thing but the claims and mussels ruined the meal.
Amazing food and service
Calamari and fried clams were very rubbery, and the batter slips off the calamari. The calamari sauce was too hot, and we like hot food. Fries were soggy. Coleslaw was the highlight! Wont return,,,,much need improvements
I've never had anything bad at Skipper Jack's. Fish taco day on Tuesday is amazing. The owner goes out of his way to get local ingredients.
Good food, great staff. Always a good experience.
Sooooooo good... everything was fresh and tasty... If I was staying in NB longer, I'd definitely be going back... Loved it !!!
Best lobster club...or mates plate...I have a hard time deciding which one is the best but travel 2 hours to get there so I have time to decide
Great food and service
Food was absolutley delicious! The service, however, was terrible.
Food was great and the staff very friendly. Awesome seafood chowder.
Unfortunately ran into the owner on a Facebook post where he insulted me and my profession calling me and all others in the nutritionist profession frauds. His wife then came on and posted private messages we exchanged after a bad experience I had at the restaurant over a year ago. They overcharged for a burger, $20 for a burger with no sides and a glass of water. I gave a review saying the burger was good but the price was poor. I was called a liar and that I was just trying to get something for nothing despite not wanting any money back. After it started to look bad on them on the public page she went to messenger to offer me a refund. I didn’t want a refund. An apology for the insults on the public forum would have sufficed. Unless you want your business with them displayed to the public and want to support ignorant business owners who insult others profession for fun don’t support this business. They have a true lack of character.
Food was even better than I expected. Very few high-end restaurants in moncton serve better food. Service was excellent as well.
Skipper Jack's in Moncton has a homemade chowder that rocks. My wife gave me one bite, and I thought it was excellent. She scarfed the rest of the bowl, and looked like she wanted to lick the bowl at the end. My deep fried scallops (on a bed of french fries) was excellent. I would have preferred more scallops, and I could've bought the larger dish, but they were perfectly done, a crispy crust around a succulent and moist scallop. Oh, Yum!
I was somewhat dissapoited with my large fish and chips tonight,,they put it on a paper plate instead of the foam plate which closes on top with the paper liner,,,they put the fish on the bottom and put the hot fries on top. So the crispy fish was no longer crispy and the the other fish was soggy.Just a suggestion,,,why d,ont you lay the fish on top of the fries instead,,i would like your comments on this,,,thank you
amazing food and service! the waitress recommended the cesar salad with bacon scallops, garlic shrimp and sauteed mushrooms. They were 20 minutes before closing and still went out of their way to accommodate them. Would definitely recommend over the other options (Montana's and rotisserie). Also for those who aren't seafood friends the chicken tenders are unreal 10/10 would hands down recommend.
If you like seafood it's a pretty good spot. If you haven't tried it you should. They serve more than seafood, but seafood their specialty.
Excellent seafood. Everytime we're near Moncton we eat here!
Great seafood at a reasonable price and excellent service. No regrets.
Very disappointing to see so little social distancing happening/managed at this restaurant during this time. As for the food, the fries are overcooked, & fish had no taste. For a seafood restaurant, the seafood platter was a disappointment. Won't be returning even though we had excellent service from our waitress. ????
Absolutely amazing customer service amazing food definitely worth every penny thank u for having me
The service was superb the people are always smiling very polite however the food that I ordered was overcooked
Great atmosphere and staff still some of the best fish an chips in the city.
First time ever ordering from skippers and I need to say it's the absolute best fried seafood in Moncton. Ordered a ship's ahoy platter and 3oz of clams, both were hot and cooked perfectly. Definitely will be giving them my money again in the future.
Best small business restaurant in moncton. No matter if you want burgers or fish won't go anywhere else
Great food..great prices..great service
The best food...the best service!! Have been here twice in the past 30 days and everything has been absolutely perfect. ????????
Food and service is always good. One of my favorite places in Moncton.
My second time here. The fish and chips as well as the service was good.
Some of the best food we've had on our trip on the east coast
Food was amazing and the staff were so awesome best I've seen in a long time :)
Great menu. Friendly staff. Kid friendly. Relaxing atmosphere and clean. Highly recommended
Much better places in Moncton to have fish and chips . Found it was much to greasy and a little bit pricey for portions , don't think I'll be going back
You gotta eat here! If you like seafood!
What a pleasant surprise! Loved the food here, although I am not a seafood fan, the burger I ate was a delight! Caesar salad is very anchovy-ish and delicious!
Friendly staff, wheelchair accessible. Prompt service for orders and received food quickly. Clams and fish were ok, scallops and shrimp very good. Plates were a good size, not overflowing.
I loved eating here. The food was excellent, and the portions were huge. The staff was friendly too. Definitely a place to check out.
Excellent seafood restaurant with options for gluten sensitivity. Try the walnut crust haddock, it's just wonderful! Service is always great. Their mashed potatoes are just divine, nothing is ordinary here. My place to go for seafood!
Really! good food at reasonable prices. They have a great seafood chowder (was sad that they ran out, the day we visited). It's a very popular restaurant so often has lines waiting to be seated during mealtimes. Good place for families.
Great meal and services.
I lived in Digby, Nova Scotia, where our fish and scallops are literally world famous. Skipper Jack's has the best fish I have tasted since leaving Nova Scotia four years ago. Truly delicious!
I went to skipper Jacks and received bad service and the management clearly does not care about that. Here is the comment i left on their Facebook page (which they did not post) Today was my first experience with Skipper Jacks and I had to try the poutine sandwich, and yes it was delicious. HOWEVER, the service on the other hand was "lack there of". Usually a waitress will let you know when something isn't included with a meal or if it is extra just in case you weren't aware, but that was not the case here instead lets snake 6 bucks out of 3 customers....NOT COOL! if your customers assume there is a side included with a meal it is your job to make it clear to them that it is extra especially 6 dollars extra, not only that but when it is questioned maybe apologize and try and act sincere and maybe help your customer out or something but don't act like its not your problem and roll your eyes and tell us there's nothing you can do. you just gouged 3 customers and instead of being polite you are nothing but rude and not just one of you but all 3 servers. Customer service tip: 1 Don't roll your eyes at the customer, 2 Don't slam your hands on the counter and walk away from your customer and 3 help the customer out and BE POLITE! cant say i will return to Skipper Jacks which is unfortunate and I certainly won't recommend you. Their response was this: Sorry we didnt meet your service expectations. out poutine grilled cheese is a meal and doesnt include a salad, especially at 10.99. it is unfortunate you wont be returning either. Have a nice day so apparently they dont care at all about the bad service provided and are okay with losing customers.
Great place great food great service give it a go you'll love it
Absolutely love the food here, it's definitely one of my top 5 favourite restraunts. Went with my mom and we both got fish and chips and shared the bacon wrapped scallops, the taste was immaculate. Would go here any day, anytime. Very friendly staff as well.
Their fish and chip is sooo good. Waitress very attentive, quick and efficient.
Have yet to be served something that isn't delicious! Sometimes, I just go for the desserts, hehe!
A low key restaurant that seems to be newly renovated. The chowder was phenomenal, there were huge chunks of fish, scallops, and lobster. It was creamy and had a nice little roll to go with it. I tried to eat the ships ahoy platter as well but it was way too much for one person. The platter was all deep fried so it can get to your stomach quite quickly. I found the clams were a bit too oceany. Would definitely come back here though.
Never disappointed at this restaurant
Food was decent wait time wasn’t terrible but also wasn’t speedy (40 minutes ) But also not something you couldn’t make at home yourself. Was the food good sure but I didn’t see myself going back while I was eating my supper. Over all was just par and expected it to be above with all the hits and good reviews I’ve seen. Middle of the boat for pricey 60$ for two people just mains no drinks no apps nothing else This included the tip. Decent food but will not return at it’s given price point
Our visit that day, which was my second time dining at the restaurant and the first since they renovated, was OK. The service was good, the wait time was reasonable for a Friday, the atmosphere was really nice as well as the dishes' presentation. Although, when it came to the food itself my partner and I weren't really impressed. Both our poutine and coslaw were good but we found that our main items, burger and lobster roll, were bland and did'nt really impress us. With that said, I would of still giving this nice restaurant a 4 stars review but had a slightly unpleasant experience with my lobster roll. On the menu it advertised that it included "house mayo", which mine didn't have any in it. Both my partner and I made sure to look really closely before we mentioned it to the server. We basically took it apart, looking on the bun, lobster and lettuce to confirm there was indeed no mayo in it. We even found a piece of cucumber hanging out in the lettuce? But no mayo. When we were confident the mayo was missing we told the server, which took it to the kitchen and came right back with a new one (it was almost instant - kudos for that). Then the server told us what the kitchen said, that there was mayo in the other roll just a little. After spending a few minutes taking the original roll apart and not seeing any mayo, that comment made me feel like they were telling me that I was a liar. Simply forgetting the mayo is a human error, which I would of brushed off and not think about it again, but coming back saying there was some in it but just a little, that one I will sadly not forget.
This place is frikin' amazing. Friendly staff. Clean joint. I came for the memes, stayed for the food.
The seafood was the best I have tasted in a while. The service was great! I will go there again.
Dinner
Great clams, great service.
Good food, friendly staff. They have the best fish 'n chips in town as far as I know
Excellent seafood. Fantastic service. Great prices!
Love the seafood there and the fresh fries. Service is always great and very friendly
Don't be fooled - this restaurant gives the appearance of a fast food restaurant, but it's not. It was the best meal we ate and we've had some pretty awesome seafood while in the Maritimes. The chowder was generous, full of seafood and I'll go out on the limb and say that it's the best I've had in my life. And I come from a family of fishermen & grew up eating seafood. We also had the lobster roll which was to die for!
First time here in a long time, had a great meal and the service was excellent
Super friendly staff and the food was great. First time in awhile I didn't have to fight my kids to eat dinner.
I've dined at Skipper Jack's three times since its reopening. First time, the fish & chips was excellent. Second time, fish was dried out. Third time, today, I order the seafood platter. Waited for half an hour for it to be served, when it arrived, the clams were dried out and inedible, fries were cold, scallops dried out. Fish was ok. I won't be dining there again.
My son and had the lobster it was fantastic and the service was A1 especially Bob the most polite man you'll ever meet we had a great time
Awesome food. Lobster dinner was perfect.
Great service, Great food all at a great price
Greatest seafood in Moncton we are from Oromocto and when we come to Moncton we always go to skipper Jack's never disappointed 10/10
Dinner out with my daughter, we shared their seafood platter and enough for 2 people. It was fantastic.
We were in Moncton for 4 days and went to Skipper Jack's 3 times! On our way back from Nova Scotia we passed through Moncton and stopped there again for lunch as our final seafood stop!! Everything I ate was incredible and so fresh!! Loved it!
First time here was last weekend , and I was impressed! The food was excellent, It was worth the wait. Everything WAS HOT. I have been to several fish and chips places all over this was definitely up there ! Waitresses were tentative.
Fantastic meal great service
Tender and Delicious Lobster Roll and The Best Seafood Chowder I have ever had
Very friendly, casual location and the fish and chips were the bomb! We will definently be stopping in again to try another seafood dish
Best fish & chips in the Greater Moncton Area, fresh fish, well priced dishes.
Great variety of food. Incredible taste. Never ever tasted the seafood chowder the way they're making. Seafood is fresh and directly supplied by local fisherman. Recommend it.
The seafood chowder was the BEST in all of the city of Moncton!! Full of fish,lobster and scallops...very filling,beautiful flavor...excellent????
First time at this restaurant. It came highly recommended. Ordered the boat of shrimps. Service was amazing and the food was outstanding. Would definitely go back.
Service was spot on… just wished the food matched the quality of service. The mussels were gritty and weren’t very fresh.
Was ok restaurant very small and the menu was not that big.
Passing through Moncton and stopped to eat here. One of the top 5 fish and chips I've ever had. Wait staff was very friendly too.
The place was notably slammed, took a while to get seated and the server was a little overwhelmed, however she was very friendly and the food was fantastic, great value and flavors were wonderful. I would definitely call this a hidden gem!
Good food, good, friendly and fast service.
Just had the best seafood chowder and fish and chips I've ever had.
Exellent food no complaints...good service and prices are reasonable ...seafood and other on the menu...
We were on our way back home to Ontario. Craving fish and chips. Asked around for a good place to eat. Skipper Jack's won. They didn't disappoint!
This is an amazing place for quality, local seafood. The food is amazing and the wait staff are friendly and helpful.
Blown away every time. Today was traditional breaded fish, although I also love the walnut crunch and Parmesan oregano. Washed that down with excellent bacon wrapped scallops glazed with maple. Just awesome!
Enjoyed supper there last night. Staff were friendly and most helpful. Seafood chowder was okay, loved the sweet potato fries ????????
I yelped a fish and chips place in Moncton, I'm new to the area. I also love fish and chips. This place was highly rated, and it delivered. I asked what kind of fish it was, and it was Haddock, and that's my favorite. I had an awesome meal, and have been back. And I will go back again. And again....
Went in for a lobster roll combo but couldn’t swap the coleslaw so just grabbed the lobster roll. Nice big bun, not bad amount of lobster, nasty lettuce was hiding underneath. Docked a star for lettuce, not swappable coleslaw, and a bit pricey.
Amazing seafood! Generous portions! This was a delight.
After reading the reviews and being in Moncton for the first time, we decided to give it a try as take out. All 5 of us tried the fish and chips! We really enjoyed the taste and the portions... the price was very reasonable at 12.99 a plate. I was told by the hotel desk clerk that it's a family owned business... all the waitresses were sweet and the service was very quick I was impressed. I would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Moncton
Fresh seafood any time I eat here. Good food and awesome service every time
Good lobster roll and the seafood chowder is a favourite as promised. Fish and chips were OK, but very battered and a bit oily. Good news is everything is fresh with the larger crowds. Better to visit off-hours if you want to sit quickly.
Food was delicious (fish tacos), service was timely and pleasant, restaurant was clean with a good atmosphere.
The food is excellent ???? . Today I ordered The Mate Platter. A bit smaller than Sea Food platter. Delicious Fries, Whole Clams, Fish, and Scrumsious Scallops. Seafood was done in light and tasty batter. Thank You.
They ran out of lobster during open season. Had to settle for lobster rolls. Good but over priced. I would definitely go back for lobster as I have eaten it there before.
Ingredients are fresh servers are polite. Too much deep fried however.
So fresh with nice portion. I had the Ships A-Hoy (I believe the biggest platter there) with not much of a big appetite and still finished it. Irresistible.
Awesome fish and poutine!!
Bloody delicious, definitely recommend
Fantastic! I didn't want to leave, the lobster club was simply amazing. Large amounts of chunks of lobster meat. One of the best sandwiches on the East coast
This place actually has the best seafood in the city. It seems to be a hidden gem as it's never really that busy but the food coming out of the kitchen is cooked perfectly. Plus they have a decent fish taco Tuesday. Do not judge by the exterior when you drive by as the restaurant is the real deal. Most of the fish, scallops, clams etc are all local. And it's not only about fish, their poutines are well made in a variety of flavours with rotating specials you wouldn't have known you wanted.
The waitresses were rude and unfriendly on more than one occasion and the menu is sparse and unvaried. Prices are too high for this. Glad others were treated better....,
I love Skipper Jack's the fish is crazy good, I love that they offer two kinds of batter fish.
We went there on a recommendation. The food was excellent and it will now be our go-to place for fresh seafood.
Went for Taco Tuesday, place was packed but our wait was very minimal. Our server was wonderful, food tasted great and the portions were decent. Will be back and have been recommending it to the many tourists that come into our city, keep up the great work!
I ordered a lobster dinner and a clam chowder. The food was so good and tasty. The staff are so friendly. I definitely come back for more.
Best Fish Tacos I've ever had ????
