Recreation Destination with the Best Fish n' Chips Around!
Good little spot for some pool and some classic video games. Please could use a little TLC, but it gets the job done. Great business and a nice addition to the night life in town!
the place is very nice and friendly, a must in camrose to have fun alone or with family, the food is super good especially fish and chips, we always have a great time every time we go there with my children. and my daughters have a lot of fun at the karaoke. another thing the people who work there are really very nice and attentive. I highly recommend
Had a amazing night here with my family. Great food and perfect atmosphere for a family night out. Kids loved the fish and chips . Friendly staff and lots of options for entertainment. Look forward to my next visit 😀
Had a great night . They treat the comics very well. The Haddock and home fries oh so good. Got try it. Well done Retro
Kids love this place! Games and pool food and rinks. Then all the live events hosted here are great entertainment. Staff are awesome.
Took our daughter here for her 10th birthday and kids had a blast! Adults had fun too playing childhood arcade games. Carmen was incredible from booking to goodbye. She even gave the boys pool tips! The vibes in this place are so fun and welcoming. What a gem to have in Camrose.
I’ll give you 2 stars for your coleslaw. I had fish and chips with your “homemade tartar sauce”. That was THE worst tartar sauce I’ve ever had..it looked like mayo with bits of relish(?)..no where near what tartar sauce should be. The fish was tough and tasted weird, the fries were dark brown and greasy. The food tasted like the oil was old or burnt. I ordered through SKIP, and before you blame the quality of the food on them, they didn’t cook my food, and he was quick with the delivery. Plus, $7 for an extra piece of overcooked fish that did’t taste like fish? You need to do better.
Enjoyed a fabulous meal at Retro once again, the chicken is delicious, coleslaw is homemade and fabulous. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. I have been going here over a year and the food is always incredible.
Very good food
Came into the establishment and was greeted very rudely. Didnt even get a chance to order. Wont return
Great food and an amazing time , Carmen and company are amazing !!! I love the stuff put on there !!!
Camrose s local dive bar owned by complete no minds, have no clue know to treat people with respect, heard owners yelling in the back room
Love this place. Great food and friendly service.
Cordon blue chicken burger 10/10
Great food & friendly staff. Something for the whole family!
Gotta play the six gun game
Food is great and the games are fun! Even won a few prizes
Food is awesome and hospitality is great. And its a great place to unwind and play pool or participate in the planned events. Thank you Carmen!
The people there are so nice and welcoming and the food was amazing
Very cool old arcade games impressive pool tables and it has very neat building. But I found a large blond hair in my French fries. I gagged it was revolting and I found it inside my mouth not seeing it on one of the fries. Also the waitress was drunk or high. She also mixed up our order.
Just popped by here yesterday for a light bite, always been curious to check this place out since I just moved in last month It was overall pleasant~ Ive enjoyed the fries and gravy, the vast selection of vintage arcade games is impressive, plenty of pool tables to play/practice a game or two, annnd lots of upcoming events like comedy/karaoke nights, art sessions and more! Oh, annnd the fact that plenty of these machines still takes quarters & loonies really tickled the early 2000s childhood in me~ Will definitely come back to try out more next time!
Great place! Carmen is great
Food lacked any flavor
looks kind of sketchy on the outside but was honestly so much fun, definitely going again
Art night was excellent. Good food, great service, awesome art teacher.
Fabulous paint nights, great service, wonderful fellowship and the best steak and chips
I went to painting event, was very well organized and we stayed for steak dinner which was lovely.
Great place to play pool (seriously there are at least 5 pool tables and its always fun to come with friends! We play pool, sing karaoke, drink, have awesome service!! As an augustana student, 10 out of 10 would recommend!
First time ordering from here and definitely will not be back. $21 for a fish dinner and the fish were tiny pieces and cold fries that tasted like they were from yesterday. My burger was just ok and had old lettuce on it. Tiny portion of dry ribs for $14! Salty gravy. The coleslaw was good. $61 total bill for good coleslaw. On top of it all the waitress didnt know if it was paid when my Husband picked it up. I ordered online with a credit card. Disappointing for sure. * * Update - So, dont order from doordash or the quality of food is not the same as ordering from the site. Makes a lot of sense...lol Go to folks if you want quality and portion size. The fish was great and you get 3 times as much at a lower cost.
Great food and quality service. Atmosphere was slightly more adult than expected, but the kids loved the arcade and devoured their food.
Really good fish and hand cut fries! The kids always have fun here playing the retro arcade games, or theres board games available while you wait for food. The layout is a bit confusing the first time you go - you have to walk past the pool tables and bar to get to the restaurant eating area.
Kid-friendliness: Had a booster seat for my baby Food
Great for family friendly or hang out with friends fun with a great community vibe. If you love pool, karaoke, air hockey, etc and a friendly atmosphere, this is a great place.
Excellent service and great food
Went here as a surprise for a date. The onion rings taste like nostalgia, the hand cut fries are amazing, I had the steak and it melted. Topped it off with retro arcade games and an amazing brownie Sunday, as well as art. Perfect date, perfect place.
Had such an amazing time there last night. My daughter requested we go there for her 5th birthday dinner and she was not disappointed! Lots if games to play, delicious fish and chips! We will be going there again!
Excellent food, great service and they were all super friendly. Also an incredible atmosphere, so it s a great place to chill out
Great food and fun games! Friendly owners!
Great fish and chips
This was the first time stopping into Retro but for sure will not be the last. This place had such an amazing atmosphere. There are so many things to do here and they have a ton of community events from paint nights, song bingo, comedy and the newest which is a game show night. Alex met me and my friend at the door with a big smile and invited us to sit anywhere we wanted. She made us feel at home and helped is choose from the awesome menu. So many great choices but we went for the Retro platter which had so much excellent food that we had to take home a bin filled with food. The price was very comparable to similar places. Carmen, one of the owners, came over and shared with us all the events going on. She is so obviously passionate about building a strong community hang out with events for the whole family. There are also a bunch of unique items for sale with a part of the profits going to local charities. If you are looking for a unique gift stop here. I bought two paintings!! Camrose is lucky to have Retro and I very much encourage you to stop in and check it out.
I always enjoy being at Retro! My friends, family and I always have fun. The staff is friendly and cheerful. We love Retro s fish & chips and finger food. Recommended dishes Fingers N Fries, Fish T Chips, Chips
My family of 17 all met at the Retro for our family day get together, everyone had a real nice time playing pool and games we havent seen for decades the food and drinks were all thumbs up...Cheers Retro!
Food is on the high side and portions are smaller but service was good and a great atmosphere with pool and arcade games
We are having the best time ever at Retro!! Happy St Paddy Day! Come and join us!
Kids always have a blast and us parents always get to visit. Everyone is always smiling :) thank you
Amazing staff and food. Great atmosphere
Our soccer teams have done our wind up parties at Retro a few times now. The kids and adults always have a good time. So much to do for everyone! Ive personally also gone to name that tune and paint nights! Great place to check out!
Legendary staff and great pool tables gave us some free food cuz we regulars. Legendary
Best fish and chips. Drive over an hour to enjoy the retro atmosphere and great service.
We ordered through Skip. Dave gave us a call because he was concerned that the courier was taking too long to pick up order. He was worried the food would not arrive at its best. Fish and Chips do get soggy in transport! We had to wait a little longer because they made a fresh order when the driver showed up. For a small business, that can cut into profits. Food is always delicious from Retro! Great Fish and Chips! We will order directly in future when we cannot make it down in person!
Had heard lots of hype, so it didnt quite meet our expectations. Food was okay. Expected more coleslaw for the price of including it as an add on. Food : 3/5
If you re looking to play some arcades and eat some food, this is the place to go I wasn t super fond of the old restaurant smell - the food is pretty descent and edible Food
Retro was a great place to catch up with friends. Had good food, available pool tables and karaoke on stage.
It is a great place to find family-friendly good food, games and entertainment... all run by local owners heavily invested in supporting the community
Wonderful place
Went on a date with the wife here ages ago and wound up having the best halibut Ive ever ordered, her cod wasnt bad either. Very seldom you get fish that tastes that fresh. Will always yearn to come back for more.
One of the best establishments in the city of Camrose! Highly recommend. Personal favorite of mine. Give it a try for yourself.
Fun place.
Not for older generation, too loud, karaoke was laughable...if you call it karaoke. OK for late teens early twenty crowd.
Love the FishnChips. I have only met friendly staff. Pay them a visit if you want something different, local and good.
Fun place to take the family or meet up with friends! Friendly staff. A variety of events taking place!
We had the fish and chips. Food was great. Stayed for karaoke. Karaoke Host is awesome. Although We found it hard to hear the music while up on stage. A monitor pointing back at the singers would solve this problem. Hopefully this is correct for the next time we stop in.
I take the kids here for fish and chips, and its always a hit. Best fish and chips in town, and its not close. Kids love the pool and arcade games, and the service is always good.
Great food (fish and chips) great service by very personable staff. Atmosphere would get 5 stars if there was old machinery; agricultural or heavy industrial, but thats just me
Came here on a date with my fiance. We loved the atmosphere the waitress. Would love to attend a paint night in the future. Food was great. :) Ceasars on par to! :)
From door to table this is a choice place of entertainment, the games are well maintained and some bring back memories of years gone by, our host Carmen, was top notch, the environment is friendly and welcoming and very comfortable, if your looking for a family friendly fun venue, the retro has it all to make a great day out! My hats off to the retro and Carmen!
Best fries in town! And thats my husbands favorite place to play pool we love going to the Retro
Carmen and Dave are a notch above
Worst place for service. Sat for 1 hour 45 minutes waiting for food. No one came to check on the table. Finally after 2 hours of waiting we walked out. Had to go the the bar more than once to see if our food was even ordered as all of the tables that came n after us were all served first. The first time we asked were assured after 45 minutes that it was put in. If there was a minus star rating I would have chosen it.
Had sooo much fun, staff was awesome! The Fish was was Amazing! We had a party of 6 and the staff were so fun, fast service as well!
Very nice place. Great owners that were very helpful and nice
Was a hell of a night. Was nice tk see that there are still some arcades still surviving!
Wont be back. Hard to mess up a club sandwich but they did. Second time here. Will not be a third
Environment was interesting. Very welcoming place but not necessarily my scene. There is karaoke and minors are allowed in there until a certain time.
Great place an authentic arcade. Brought me back to childhood. My kids were thrilled with the find
Great place to hangout and meet new people great customer service lots of fun things to do like play pool or arcade games saturday nights there is karoke from 7:00-11:00 highly recommend checking it out
Everything was absolutely great!! Customer service excellent, cheeseburger home cut fries hands down best in town. Shrimp dinner was great. Thank you Retro we will be back!!!
Food and atmosphere are fantastic, favorite spot in town!
Awesome place with lots of fun video / arcade games but the highlight was the fish and chips. The batter was light, not greasy. The fish portions were ample and delicious. Fries are homemade, crispy and more than you can eat
Good tunes, good food great vibe. Good place to have some fun.
Good place to chill have a bite to eat and play some good ol 80s style video games or a game of pool. If you like live entertainment they have it.
I ordered a mixed plate of shrimp and scallops with cod. Delicious.
First time dining here and all I can is it is one of the best places I have ever eaten at. Both Carmen and Alix were amazing. They had 3 birthday parties going on and they made sure to check on us often and made us feel feel just as important and the birthday parties. This place has a nice relaxed atmosphere and the food was amazing. You get great portions and the prices are very good. I will definitely be going back. If I could give more stars I would Guess I can.
I dont play pool, but Comedy Night is pretty funny, and they have great Fish & Chips
Based
Great comedians, delicious food and a super fun place. Will definitely go again! Was here again tonight. Delicious fish and great service. I enjoy this place very much!!
Fantastic spot! We visited from Edmonton for comedy night and had a blast! The fish and chips were delicious and the atmosphere is so fun. Great venue for going out with friends for a good time and a great venue for a party!
Anyone who thinks those are home cut fries probably cannot boil water. they mixed old fries with new, they were terrible. The fish was okay, but not pan fried in butter, some kind of oil. The service was good. Place is expensive, and why do you charge the same price for a drink with no alcohol, than you do for one that does?????? And your local beer, almost 7$????? I love cod, but think I will buy my own. We will not be going back to this overpriced place. Oh the coleslaw was good.
Hot damn a sweet joint. Full of character and characters, real bubbly staff and one fired up owner putting lots on for us to be entertained the night away.
Was a super fun evening! Great food and amazing hosts! Thanks so much for the fun time.
Great food! Lived the old school video games. Will be back.
Paint nite!!! Great for birthday parties, girls night out, date night!!! Sooooo fun. Happens 3 times a month!!!
Excellent food fast service very enjoyable clean and good price food was fresh and lots of it more than full meal no room for to have dessert thanks hope to do it again soon
The service I received at the retro was great. I got drinks and and dinner during kareoke night. The environment was friendly and inviting and I definitely will be attending again in the future. Make sure you go to karaoke kareoke nights on Friday!
Hosted my sons 10th birthday party here and they all had a blast! We ordered a build your own party platter with chicken wings, fries, popcorn chicken, mozzarella sticks and onion rings, and the kids decided they were the best chicken wings ever! Retro is a very affordable party venue, with great food, great service, and lots of fun activities! Big thanks to Carmen for being so accommodating and making this the least stressful party Ive thrown for my kids! 10/10, I highly recommend!
Today was the first time that I had the privilege to stop by Retro and I am glad this was my stop! The fish was the best fish I had ever had and I am extremely particular with fish! It was fresh and so crispy! My tummy doesn t hurt any eating here as well and that s a huge bonus considering I am gluten free! I will definitely have to go back for them Retro fry s for sure! I loved the atmosphere as it was calming and the owners are the most amazing people to talk to! I will have to go back for sure! This will become my new get away from my kiddos kinda break spot!
My boyfriend and I spent a few hours here last night. Food and drinks were great! Service was phenomenal! Alex was our server and she did an awesome job! The owner checked in with us a few times as well and even offered to take photos of us. There is so much to do here. We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back!
The best seafood in town!! 10/10 I recommend the fisherman s crate
Best restaurant fish and chips we ever had. Wish we could be here for the comedy show Friday or even to take some dance lessons Kid-friendliness: Lots of games for children Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access
Great food with probably the best tartar sauce around. Had the opportunity to perform some comedy on their stage. Great venue.
Here for comedy night ! It was a incredible show amd a incredible meal. The fish was fluffy and not too greasy. Excellent service as well
Fish is absolutely fantastic and staff are super friendly And events almost every day Including paint nights, dancing lessons and live stand up comedy
Very chill place, good people and atmosphere. Karaoke on weekends. They even have a Foosball table
This place is amazing, I went for the fish amd chips and stayed for one of the most interactive relaxing paint nights ever. The owner and manager mingle with the patrons and share a laugh with each of us. I especially love the fact that they take the time to learn your name and use it The events are super affordable and so much fun amd variety is awesome as well. The food is impeccable served fresh and home best fish in town I was so pleased with the whole experience I will definitely go back very soon. Keep up the great work!!! Kid-friendliness: It is a video arcade as well as a sit down restaurant, as well and plenty of events held for your Littles Wheelchair accessibility: There is a section on the lower floor in front of the stage and all around the main floor for those who have wheel and or walking restrictions

Great food and great service! I got a burger and poutine and it was awesome! Plus I bought my girlfriend some ornamental flowers made out of wood that they had for sale.

Edit: Came back and had the mega shrimp. Really good, generous portions and very filling! Nice and cool in here today too. The arcade is wonderful as well. Tons of games. Including all the ones avaliable I could find at least 20 that bring back memories. Will return. :)
Appreciate that there were GF options for my daughter. Would suggest that this be advertised so other celiacs can eat at Retro.
Food was great
Food is very good and well portioned
Delicious fish n chips! A lot of fun to be had at this place. If we lived in Camrose I think wed be hanging out at Retro a lot. Family fun. Pool. Arcade. Karaoke. Live entertainment. If you have kids, you are on the lookout for a place you can go where everyone in the family has fun. This has the potential to be that place.
Excellent fish
I really enjoyed the delicious food and the fun entertainment.
Lots fun...
Amazing staff, awesome food, and the coolest atmosphere youll find around Camrose. CANNOT even do them justice with words
Love the BLT, the fish and chips, the coleslaw, all amazing. Tho I do recommend you order through their website instead of something like doordash, as you can t order drinks for some reason. But I do highly recommend trying this place out.
Great fish and chips. Very clean and well maintained restaurant. Excellent service. This should be on every persons list, to dine.
Best Fish and Chips in town! Always something fun to do!
The staff was great. We had a minor complaint and they went above and beyond to make it better. The food was delicious also.

Great fish and chips.. but was confused? Not sure if we were in a bar or a pool hall or a amusement park or a restaurant... You need a Jam night.
Spacious friendly comfortable and excellent fish and chips.
The food here is delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly and the fries were great. Its not fancy but you definitely get a hearty meal.
The food from Bite me cafe is absolutely amazing!! The best cod Ive had in a long time! The bar scene is a bit confusing but Id come back just for the food!!
