Reviews of Schooner's Fish & Chips (Restaurant)

Dduffy Duffy

Best fish and chips in town ....

April Parent

Love the food there and not just that I use to work for Mr. Greg Howard the food is great and Greg makes his own batter for the fish another thing to it is cooked in front of you. I guarantee it's great I should know I was a waitress/Server and loved my job there.

Good fish and chips and inexpensive.

Duncan Hudson

Great food! Wait staff won't win any awards for pleasantness though.

Pauline Jenkins

Fish and chips are always great. Waitress is a bit quirky.

Michel Hebert

Cosy little spot with great fish and chips!

Antonio Audet

Fantastic seafood. Good portions of high quality fish. Schooners doesn't skimp on the details that make a great Fish and Chips. Even my brother in law from the UK agrees, and he had the clam chowder in Boston last week. Bravo!

Very tasty and good themed decoration

Louise Asselin

I had cod/fries combo and my friend had shrimp/fries combo. They were....OK. Nothing was salted also so it was kind of bland. The server was surly... not necessarily discourteous... she said her please and thank yous but wasn't particularly friendly. It was hot as hell in there too. Cute decor. The cook was nice and sweet though. Overall if I had the choice, I probably wouldn't give it another shot.

Good food and friendly.

My favourite restaurant in The County. It has, no doubt in my mind, the best Fish & Chips I've ever had. On top of that it's served in the classic newspaper style. The Cook and owner, Greg, is a delight to talk to whilst waiting (and watching) your food cook (pre-covid ofc.). Also I would highly recommend the deep-fried cheese curds.

Quinte Security Systems Don

Good food, decent prices, good conversation and don't have to drive 30 km for a good feed of fresh fish.

Chris Allen

A small Fish and Chips shop I was passing on my way through town. It's in a converted house so the layout is small and odd in a few spots with enough slants on the floor to make you feel like your walking along the deck of a ship! The waitress didn't seem to be in a good mood that day but we all have bad days so originally I had chalked it up to a one off experience, however after looking at some other reviews afterwards grumpy servers seem to be normal here. The food was good and the prices were what I'd expect.

Milca G. Sheney

Good serving for the price! Food is prepared swiftly, with four white fish options to be battered (cod, haddock, Pollock, halibut). The serving staff though could put on a smile while serving, it would make the dining experience much more amicable.

Angel McMurray

Was there with my mom today, Fri June 14th 2013, first time for me being there. I had just a piece of Haddock, Mom had Haddock and chips. The food was good, but the welcome and service from the waitress left much to be desired. No smile, no greeting, no welcome, pretty much "what would you like?", brought the food, no 'you're welcome' when WE being polite people said thank you, didn't come to see how everything was... needless to say, no tip was given. I wonder if they are a family run joint, because I can't imagine anyone actually hiring her if they aren't family. I'd have their food again, but would never eat in. I'd get take out. Mom said that is the first time that she's had terrible service there. The cook was friendly, he chatted with a few of the patrons, but the waitress, Ugh.

Food good. Not cheap

Ian McKenzie

The best fish and chips I have ever had. Hands down, no contest.

David Bailey

I had the cod and chips for $7.50, and a small bowl of clam chowder for $4. The cod was okay, batter could have been better but it wasn't the worst I've had by a long shot. The clam chowder - SUPERB! I would return for that alone. One of the things I love about clam chowder is that no two restaurants have the same recipe, they usually have their own variations. I have rarely been disappointed in the many I have had, but some stand above the rest and this was one in my opinion. The surroundings are cozy and the washrooms are clean.

J Shepherd

Been coming here since I was a child. Now I bring my own kids. Great family restaurant.

(Translated) Good but terrible service (Original) Bon mais service exécrable

Maxime Roussel

(Translated) Good fish and chips, but the service is very bad. A smile is missing. (Original) Bon fish and chips, mais le service est très mauvais. Il manque un sourire.

Colin Dickinson

Fish is tasty, if you like deep-fried. Decor is beyond tired. Service is ABYSMAL.

clara rodriguez

food was okay, however lady was extremely grumpy, CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! won’t be coming back...

Douglas McNeill

If you only do fish and chips you need to make sure you do both well. Fish was reasonable and chips were poor. We went to see the grumpy lady, which we did, but our server was a very nice and helpful tall guy. He went out his way to be helpful. Decor is poor with the place needing a lot of love. Thanks

Paul Hicks

Delicious traditional fish and chips. Other seafoods are available. Right across from Metro Supermarket at the crosswalk.

Richard Lalancette

The clam chowder was great! I was seeing the cook preparing the fresh fish in front of me! Next time we try the fish&chips!

George DaNova

Great place for authentic fish and chips with a choice of fish types. In a old house with nice decor in the back dining room.

Paul W. J. Irwin

The fish is specially selected and cut fresh. The fries are also cut fresh. It is a classic family restaurant with take out available. I enjoy my dinner there as regularly as I can each Friday. Very reasonable and certainly super tasty. My family and friends have also come to love it and come out anticipating eating some Schooner's.

Adam Del Gobbo

Called multiple times to place an order and no one ever picked up

angieet93

Love the food and atmosphere. We had our dog with us so we sat out at a picnic table in the back and they brought our food out to us! Great service!

Andrew Samatas

Fish is decent. Server makes the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld look like ones fairy Godmother.

Kylestorm 23

For a little town near the Sandbanks and along lake Ontario this place was neat. All cooked right in front of you while the establishment is made out from a old house. Atmosphere has a sailor look and very well decorated. Fish was juicy with every bite, fresh hand cut fries. Good way to end a awesome swim at Lake Ontario.

Will M

Great tasting food. Cook was very friendly, how ever our server was not. Still worth it for the fish and chips.

Robert Cox

OKish but nowhere near as good as it was a few years ago. Portions are generous but don't think I'll be calling again any time soon.

Rachelle Nord

The space is cozy and original. You get a sense of the many years this little place has been serving up some great seafood. And it is. Super delicious. Would be nice to get the coleslaw with the fish and chips instead of having to order it extra on the side. But, its a price worth paying, cause everything tastes great. We will be back!

Carbon Lilies

Love the decor in this little place. The mariner's spirit is strong here. The fish and chips are pretty darn good for the price. The service is ok... not spectacular but not horrible either. It is definitely the place to go for fish and chips while in Picton.

Tracey Scott

Halibut is nice.

Lucas Coady

Cozy and unassuming. Reminds me of how an old sailor would decorate the basement of their own home. Nothing revolutionary, but a great place for greasy fish 'n chips.

Debbie Buckingham

The absolute best seafood chowder in the world!!!

Richard Lemieux

(Translated) Good cheap (Original) Bon pas cher

Rob BigRed

Fish and chips the way they are meant to be.

Brian Reid

Great Fish & Chips!

Jean Clarke

When the original owner of this fish and chip restaurant worked here, it was most certainly one of the best to be found. Now that it has been passed down, the fish is smelly and half cooked, the chips are soaked in grease/oil. This will be my last purchase from this place.

Roberta Humphrey- Stephens

Amazing shrimp, fish , and appetizers. The chowder is the best I have had and I eat it everywhere!

Dawn Lawrence

It's a casual dining site with takeout also. Staff are friendly and the food is good.

Paul Tolley

Excellent fish and chips, really good value.

Albena Stoykova

Fish and chips was pretty decent with a pleasant sitting area outside. The lady working there was absolutely miserable, looked like she hates everybody who comes in to bother her. It was so ridiculous that it was actually funny!! Reasonably priced. Would go again.

Tony and Tracy

Possibly the worst service my family has ever had. Our order took over 45mins to arrive then they forgot my sons order and proceeded to serve 2 other tables while he sat there. Took an additional 20mins for him to get his food. They offered no compensation for their error. Will never go back

timothyc

Great place. Great food. Great price

Paul Bailey

Great place for Real seafood

Dave M

Always good. Bring a pillow because you're going to need a nap afterwards.

Ican Seeun

Stopped in before catching the ferry, great fish and generous amount of chips, affordable and the service was fast.

James Pang

This is a family owned outlet. At least that's what the cook / server / owner told me. Had shrimps and chips while my wife had fish. All good except that it's open only three days a week, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Maggie L.

The food is great! The only place I go for fish and chips when I'm in the county. Owner is very nice. Servers are sourpusses but that doesn't interfere with the quality of the food.

Alberta Sunshine

Service is horroble and unorganized. Lady that works there is rude on the phone and in person. She was rude to the customer and cook during our visit. The food is over priced and over cooked. As well, the fish portions were half that of any other Fish n Chips place I've been. Spent over $50 here, but the same meal is under 30 in Belleville and they even give you coleslaw in Belleville. Next time I want fish n chips I'll be driving to Belleville to Captain George's .

arthur ruttan

Best fish and chips in county .I have been customer for all most 30 years they are number one let your taste buds deside you wont be unhappy

David Lafalcia

Quick fast service . Food is okay and a decent price .friendly service .

Katherine-Elizabeth Lariviere

That waitress is really not nice! I'll never eat there again. For the last 2 years I've been wanting to try this place (i'm not from the region but come every summer) well well... That's one thing checked on my list but even if I love fish & chip I felt so unwelcomed that it was first and last time for me.

Jules S

Really good Fish n chips

William Lyen

Great fish and chips, took the whole family out, very reasonable prices, polite service and we got our meals fast, great place to eat.

Jody Davidson

Very tasty but pricey
