Good food, small portions befitting their senior clientele. Improvements needed to server attentiveness and general happiness. Excellent for the local population — maybe find something else if you’re a tourist.

The location alone is worth the trip. If you're sitting outside or on the deck you enjoy a beautiful water view. We had the cod and chips and weren't disappointed. From the number of people enjoying their meals this evening it's definitely a popular place. Only open till 7pm.

Solid 4 Stars here. Halibut and fries were very good .... 1 piece of Halibut was a little doughy, the other piece perfect. Halibut burger was cooked just right and very tasty. Pretty Nice View at picnic tables out front, but parked cars in front of you can be obstructive. I'll be back 😎

Went out of their way to make an 80th birthday super special! The fish and chips are the best in Campbell River! Thanks again!

By far the freshest seafood experience I've had in decades. The seafood chowder was rich and flavourful without being fishy. The deep fryer oil was clean and left the natural taste of the halibut to push through uninhibited. Jessica, our server, was incredibly fast and ruled the establishment by providing single server ownership of each table in a quick and efficient manner. Well done!

The halibut was very tasty and crisp. The fries are terrific! I was not impressed with the clam chowder but I would be willing to give the Saturday seafood chowder a try so I’m going back tomorrow! My daughters plate was amazing. The delicious chunk of fish is so impressively thick!! Update*. We went the next day and wow I’m glad we did 🤩 the Saturday seafood chowder was amazing and the one piece halibut was lightly battered, & not greasy. The place was clean and not terribly busy. I can’t wait to come back!

I can't believe it took me so long to finally try the legendary Jigger's fish and chips. Easily the best battered fish I've ever had, and my mother agrees (that's a big deal coming from a stout Brit!). I went for lunch with my mom yesterday. We both had the 2-piece halibut. Mom had hers with chips and I subbed my chips for caesar salad. Mom couldn't finish her chips and I couldn't finish my second piece of fish, so I got to have the experience again the following day hehe. I popped them in my air fryer for a few minutes to crisp them up again. Just so good. The batter is traditional, not panko. It's so light and crispy, and the fish is just outstanding. Jigger's is only open from about late spring to early fall, so if you're in the area and the time is right, definitely get in and give them your support! I wasn't a huge fan of the caesar salad. The dressing is obviously made on site, which is awesome. It is *VERY* garlicky, which I didn't mind, but fair warning to others. The main problem was the amount of dressing used. I felt it was far too much. The lettuce was heavy with it and while eating it I just felt like I had a mouthful of garlicky mayo. I don't know if it's always presented this way or if it was just the person working, but I definitely felt the salad was far too heavy on the dressing front. (I did not tell the server, that's my bad, I should have brought it up), but I still ate it and enjoyed it overall. Oh, it also comes topped with red onions which is a bit uncharacteristic of caesar salad, so if you're allergic or just not a fan of onions (me, lol), this is just a heads up to request no onions. The menu said nothing about onions if I recall correctly, so one wouldn't think to request omitting an ingredient if it isn't listed. They were easy to pick off, so it wasn't a big deal. Sorry about the picture, we'd already started eating by the time I thought to take one😂

From the outside it looks like a shed with a few tables in front of it but dont be fooled! Just order the fish and chips and enjoy the perfect portion Ive ever had! Also delicious fries and a cold beer, what more could you want! Highly recommended if you are in the area, be on time! They close at 7:00 PM

Very good housemade veggie burger and grilled halibut burger. Said to have the best fish n chips in town. This place can get very busy so be prepared for a wait during prime time (11-1:15) but the friendly hardworking staff do their best to serve you quickly. Wish their beer selection was better (Bud, Bud Light, Lucky, Corona)

Very busy but actually super fast. Very nice two ladies working their tails off to make sure everyone gets everything exactly as requested. Halibut was super fresh and fluffy, fries were amazing and so was the coleslaw. Only suggestion would to make a home tartar sauce. But still a 5* visit. Definitely recommend if you re going for great fish and chips in Campbell River. Also the views are amazing. Great location.

Love this place. Great food. I only gave 4 stars for service because it gets very busy. It Is so popular with the locals and it is seasonal, so there is often a wait. Unfortunately this is not something they can easily control. I just make sure I allow time to accommodate the wait times. Great West Coast vibe

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOD & SERVICE! Table of two we arrived at 6pm expecting it to be busy and it was !! Always a good sign. Our server was prompt, friendly & extremely efficient. We waited in a short queue and were seated outside where there is a spectacular view of the ocean. We each ordered 2pc halibut & chips. I have never been more satisfied with deep fried fish. Everything about the fish was perfect, crispy yet light on the breading, completely smooth and coated evenly yet no undercooked breading whatsoever. Absolutely amazing food I will be back for sure and will rave Jiggers over & over !! Thank you to our amazing server & cook you guys rock!

Wonderful meal! We chose this place because we could walk from the RV resort and we were not sorry! 3 of our party had cod and chips, one had halibut and chips. Fries were crispy but not overdone, halibut had to be freshly caught, coleslaw was so tasty! Nothing dripping in grease, was not one of those meals that you leave feeling like you ve had your weekly quota of grease. Service was very good, they were busy but our meals were served so promptly. Wish this restaurant wasn t 2 hours from home, or we d be eating here weekly. Saw pie go by but we were all too full, it looked homemade and like it would be very tasty. Don t miss this place!!

Excellent food and service. When we went there there was only one server and she was handling things amazingly. Great attitude and friendly. You could tell she was exhausted and needed some assistance. Thankfully another support staff was scheduled to come on shortly after we arrived. Fish and chips were really fresh and tasty. We all enjoyed our food here.

A seasonal destination (from May to October) on Tyee Spit at the Campbell River estuary. Cash Only. Excellent fish and chips or try the delicious grilled fish with salad. The Caesar salad is great and youve got to try the green salad with house dressing - a garlicky creamy rasperry vinaigrette that I have not yet been able to replicate at home, so I keep going back to Jiggers. Afterward I go for a nice walk on the paved trail to the head of the spit. Occasionally I indulge in a piece of homemade pie - to die for pie! You havent DONE Campbell River unless you have been to Jiggers.
