Very disappointed after someone telling us it was the best. Mediocre quality and portions (fish and chips) very small for the price. Had the ice cream and it was worse. Had 2 scoops and the second scoop was half the size of the small first scoop. Ridiculous! Never go back.
Amazing location with brilliant food. One of the best Onion Rings I’ve ever tasted💯
I recently visited there , and unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. When I arrived, I noticed that the cashiers were laughing and talking amongst themselves. This wouldn't have been an issue, but they were also looking in our direction, which made me feel quite awkward and uncomfortable. It's important for staff to maintain a professional demeanor, especially when customers are present. I hope the management addresses this to improve the atmosphere for future guests. The food might be great, but customer service and creating a welcoming environment are equally important. Timing- 1St July around 8.20pm.
We always love visiting The Chipper a few times a year and spending time near the water but unfortunately it's gone downhill. My husband ordered fish & chips (his usual) and he received one little piece of fish. They no longer offer fish tacos which was what I looked forward to. So I ordered the shredded pork sandwich, (don't let the picture fool you), hardly any pork on a small hamburger bun, sandwich was 2 cm thick at most. We left disappointed and still hungry so had a meal at home. Their fries are still good. And staff very friendly. We spent $30 for basically a snack. Too bad :(
The Chipper is Amazing. The fish tacos are my favorite. I used to drive from Brampton just for the fish tacos. Now I live 15 mins away lol. The customer service is great and everything is fresh to serve.
I spent $35 for just these 3 items, the pulled pork poutine has an immense amount of bbq sauce with barely any gravy. Way too pricey for the amount of food. The chicken fingers were great, but the poutines were a let down.
The owner (I believe her name is Carol) is nice and took our order with patience. With the glass barrier, and masks, it is rather difficult to hear what we'd like to order, need to repeat a couple times to make sure we get it right. It was a sunny Monday and not a lot of people; usually just 1 to 2 people lining up. Food is on the pricy side, a New York poutine is $6.65 with very very little cheese. The oktoberfest hot dog ($6.2) taste ok. We also got chicken strips with plum sauce ($7.95) and the chicken is pretty dry. The only highlight was the fish and chips ($16.95), it was a big piece of haddock (since halibut was sold out/ shortage) and good amount of fries with tartar sauce. The fish is juicy and the batter is light and crispy. We were told that this restaurant (once a food truck) was famous for it's fries, but we weren't enjoying the fries at all :( All the food are packed in card board containers, which should be a better option compare to plastic. Food is still hot/ crispy after a short 7 mins drive to a near by brewery (Side Launch). Haven't got a chance to sample the ice cream, seem like a lot of people order their ice cream. Will give it a try next time!
Super friendly staff and awesome location beside the water and parks. I order their poutine so I can only speak about that. It was okay. Not to bad but no so good either. Prices are a little bit steep but I didn’t enjoy the gravy and cheese as much. The fries were crispy and good. Overall nice spot to be side the water front.
Im quite chipper for chippers.
Compelled to give a star but for lady behind the ice cream counter, this place doesnt deserve any star. She is so rude and have a racist attitude.
Great ice cream and beautiful park backdrop. Unfortunately the staff ruined the experience. I see from the last review that this is not a one time occurrence
My kids love it here!
Drove from wasaga beach to get fries. Arrived 10 minutes before their posted close time and the order window was shuttered. Asked at the attached ice cream window about getting fries and was told they were closed.
CONSISTENTLY GREAT! One of my favourite Collingwood food experiences. Best service and outstanding food, and so clean. I always recommend this place. 10/10!
Quick. Burger had minimal grease and good lettuce onion pickle tomato and no container bags and trash.
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly! Right beside a playground so they can eat and play in one place :) Wheelchair accessibility: Loved this place! The person taking our order was so sweet! I took a minute with the menu and she was very patient and pleasant with me. I couldn t believe how fast the food came out as well! So delicious and for the amount of food we got, very good prices. And on a very hot day, we had a lovely shady space to sit and enjoy our food. Andddd they had my favourite ice cream flavour! Moon mist! I never see it anywhere so I was very excited :)
Great spot on the shores of Georgian Bay in Collingwood. Had a super lunch. Fries were so tasty too.
A family favourite. Great selection of Kawartha Dairy icecream, and hot food. Highly recommend for a bite to eat at Sunset Point.
Food is amazing, all the staff is very friendly & Courteous Food
Awesome staff! And great food! 10/10 would recommend
Always a great experience at the Chipper.
FOOD WAS TERRIFIC & STAFF IS OUTSTANDING! THE VIEW IS AMAZING SUCH A LOVELY SPOT TO ENJOY A REALLY TASTY LUNCH!
Great food! Great staff! and great selection of ice cream! Wonderful location at Sunset Point! One of my favourite spots! Enjoy the water or the great new park across the street Parking: Free parking with local waterfront park pass
Food was nothing special. Way over priced for the 3 items we got. Lady taking our order couldn t hear . Even tho I m literally standing right beside the window. Tables were dirty and for the time we were there not one person came out to wipe anything down. Definitely wouldn t go back.
A little pricey for the size but tastes good. And a bit of a wait I m not sure how many orders were ahead of us but we waited about 20-25min for two reg poutines. All in all it was good though and would come back again when craving some good fries/poutine.
Vegetarian options: Few options Dietary restrictions: Few options Parking: Lots of spots Kid-friendliness: Family oriented Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs
Great spot for food and ice cream!
Service is top notch with a smile and every meal is made with care. Great family destination with beaches and an incredible playground.
Great spot on the water! Food was fresh and tasty! Friendly staff!
I love going to The Chipper! The owners are so friendly and the food is great. When I think Sunset Point, I think The Chipper. Why not have fries and ice cream while at the beach!?
Always a great and amazing place. The staff are awesome and the boys love going there for the ice cream and food! 1 and only place to eat by the water in collingwood and so worth it! Kid-friendliness: So many options
Amazing staff,Amazing food! Highly recommend
The kids and I love coming for the fries and for the ice cream! Also best authentic poutine in town. Hard to beat the location too. Highly recommend.
I had a chicken finger meal and my husband had a cheeseburger meal both delicious. Definitely our favourite spot to eat.
Love love love visiting The Chipper in the summer. It s an absolute must when we re in the area. Friendly staff and a great selection of ice cream.
One of the best places in town for lunch, dinner or snacks with a vast menu of delicious items and a colossal variety of tasty Kawartha ice cream. Also, you will encounter very friendly staff. Don t miss out. Treat yourself to something scrumptious..
Great spot with great food and service!
poutine is soo good, its the only thing i ve tried from the chipper because i usually get the poutine with my friend in the summer when we go swimming and its always the perfect afternoon snack but yeah overall just great!!
Nice place and friendly service but food was just OK nothing really great about it
Great spot for lunch by the water. Fresh cut fries are amazing!
We came to have dinner by the water and had heard that they had one of the best burgers in town. We were disappointed! The burger and fries were just okay. It s a shame, because we are planning to do this weekly, however next time we ll bring our meal with us. The staff though, are great! Friendly and helpful.
Not enough gravy and cheese on poutine.
Great location, quick and friendly staff. Decent burgers, fantastic fries and onion rings!
Fish and chips were quite ok. A little bit of sauce. Ambiance fries stall and on the other side ice cream (quite expensive compared to our ice cream prices)
The lady who served us (blonde hair) is actually quite rude. I saw how she spoke to the customers in front who ordered and she spoke to them as if they were complete idiots. For example, the one guy ordered fries with gravy. She then said, are you okay with beef gravy? and he said, oh, no , so she goes, yeah that s what I thought.. you ll have to order the vegetarian one . She just spoke with such sass. I get that people in this area are mostly tourists and might know ESL but you should be prepared for that, be kind and have patience for your consumers. However, with me as well knowing English as a first language, I asked for extra onions and I did not receive a hot dog with extra onions and kindly asked again once given my hot dog. Anyways, my point is to just be kind to others
Have been frequenting The Chipper since there was a Chipper to frequent. Food has always been great and Ive recommended this place to so many people. I will definitely not be doing that any more. Ordered a large fries to share with my 2 little girls. Asked for an extra box so I could make it more manageable for the kids. Was told they dont give extra boxes so I said no problem, Ill buy one. Nope, cant buy one either. Was told next time to buy multiple regular sized boxes instead of sharing a large...Which of course is much more expensive. Was given a tiny plate that collapsed when i tried to put fries on it. VERY FAMILY UNFRIENDLY.
They closed their hot food early. Hours aren t accurate. Not worth the drive.
Great food location amongst the park and beach at sunset point in Collingwood. The service was quick even when it got busy and it was convenient to return for an ice cream cone located in the back side of the food counter. Ordered fish, chicken and a sausage and everyone enjoyed the food. Helped a pleasant day trip memorable with some good food and great service. Will return!
Food is great especially the fries though the chicken burger patty was not as good as last time. Service was a bit gruff but it was probably the very end of a long day.
We ordered ice cream cones for 6 young kids. They don t press the ice cream down on the cone, so the ice cream is ready to fall onto the floor the second the kids start eating it. I politely asked for cups to put the cone in, since they have a sign saying they won t replace the ice cream if it falls. The much older lady rudely responded with no, we don t give out cups, they aren t free . I asked her to press the ice cream into the cone instead, and she refused to do that either. Clearly this is an issue they have regularly given that they ve put up a sign about ice cream falling. Maybe stop selling poor quality cones and hard as a rock low quality ice cream, and you wouldn t have this problem. Also, learn some customer service skills and manners. We won t return.
I have been going to this canteen since before it was remodelled as the chipper - and as much as I hate to say anything negative about something so nostalgic, I cant eat the food here anymore. I have ended up with food poisoning twice now in the last 3 years. Both times from the hot dog. Ill hit up the ice cream bar all summer long, but Ill get my hot dogs elsewhere for the foreseeable future.
Fries USED to be the bomb! We used to go down a few years ago every weekend for their fries. Went today. Very disappointed! Everything now seems frozen out of a box. Burgers and fingers are all frozen remade Sysco quality junk to be honest. For the prices your at lease expect a decent portion. Prices are insane for what you get. Fries were tasteless generic nothing special. 25 bucks for two orders of chicken fingers (three small fingers no bigger then 2 inches long) and a small handful of fries each. With other great local options for food that make their burgers from scratch we won t come back here unfortunately. Quality and price geared to tourist with thr only option of food at the beach.
Had the pulled pork poutine and it was So so delicious! The staff is very friendly, helpful and kind. They also use compostable containers and cutlery!! Will go back every time when in Collingwood 5+ stars
We went on Sunday evening. Nice, fresh, perfect fries. I loved the sausage. Maybe a little pricey but definitely worth it. You get what you pay for. I enjoyed every bite. The staff were wonderful. A good end to the day. Thankyou.
Great halibut and chips!
Great food. Fast and friendly service. Ice cream kiosk at the back. Ice cream open from 11am till sunset.
Ice cream is really tasty, must try
Their vegetarian poutine is great and so are the chicken nuggets. We also enjoyed ice cream. Specially their chocolate brownie ice cream is delicious
Nice fish and chips. Parking is extremely expensive around it.
Great food on the water of Georgian bay
Great service and even better food highly recommend!
Best fries in the best location. Also has the best chocolate milkshake ever!! Never tried anything else but the fries but that s all I need! Help support local and stop by this awesome place
Solely based on my ice cream experiences. I get ice cream here every summer. I love the fresh waffle cones, unless they are too warm and melt all your ice cream like on my last trip there. Overall my experiences have been good. Sometimes scoops are bigger and nicer than others.
Its grt place. It has the best ambiance to have fries and ketchup..
Great beach fries and delicious Kawartha ice cream. So nice to enjoy Chippers and this wonderful park at the bay.
Annoying that you get charged for mayo without telling customers but great tasting fries.
The poutine is amazing! Highly recommended. I personally prefer the Quebec style gravy, but cant go wrong with the beef gravy either. The chicken burger and fish sandwich are fairly standard, though.
Even having a bit of time to prepare for Covid has left the business unprepared. Ordering based on name (surely everyone in town has a unique name?), no defined lines to keep a comfortable distance to place or recieved order. Customers crowding order pickup area. Also putting customers on the spot to tip staff is a shady practice. I dont mean to be negative but the whole experience was disappointing.
Friendly staff, delicious ice cream and snacks
If i have to hear all about how they use recycled everything and how I have to put everything into the recycling bin after Im done eating my French fries and drinking my pop, Im going to go bonkers. Someone must have studied the environment at school to influence her because she wasnt always this excited about recycling. I just want a fun personality and French fries! Lighten up. The food is ok, but pricey.
Just had the Mozzarella sticks today. Delicious! They have much more to offer. Other appetizers, burgers, ice cream & the best fries around.
Great food. I got a pulled pork sandwich combo (fries and a drink). It was delicious. Everything was hot and made to order. A little hard to hear them behind the covid covering. I dont like that they put the ketchup on for you if you want some (all over the fries or off in the corner- they give you a choice) but Im picking about my ketchup. I understand why theyre doing it for you, I just would have preferred to do it myself. There are a few picnic tables there to sit at, we opted to sit on the ground closer to the water.
Fish tacos and fries were delicious. Could have used a lime wedge on the side though. Salted truffle ice cream was really good. Overall recommend this place!
Website advertised as OPEN, An hour drive out of our way... CLOSED. Called number...was told they decided to close early.
The food was awesome! Fish and chip - amazing. A little expensive so definitely a treat.
Love this place! we always get their fries and onion rings!
Update: I appreciate a business who replies with reasonable responses, thanks for the reply. Will update again when we can visit. Thank you Well wish I could say I had a good experience, hours said 11am-7pm, got there at 2:10pm and place was closed. Only open for 3 hours a day? Sad part is you could smell the place and knew they just closed shop. Maybe consider updating the hours if you are going to cut it by 4 hours a day.
We ordered the quebec poutine, 4oz beef burger, cheeseburger and a bacon cheeseburger. Very tasty! The poutine - fries were crispy, cheese was soft and warm, and gravy not overly salty. I would have preferred a bit more gravy but that s just how I normally eat things - covered in sauce :). The burgers were good - meat was cooked perfectly and were not dry. We had them with all the fixings minus onions. They were a good size. Staff were friendly and food came quickly. Washrooms are available and lots of picnic tables or benches nearby. Beautiful view of the water.
Love The Chipper.. its a highlight every Spring when Carol and James fire up the grill and fryer for another season. Our favourite? Hotdogs followed by ice cream cone of Kawartha Dairys Salty Caramel Truffle. Mmmm
A lucky find when we were having a road trip. The food was great and so were the staff! A nice place to have a walk after having a meal. Close to the lake and you can feel the cold breeze.
Great local place for fast food. Beat location in Collingwood. Nothing fancy but good greasy food and super friendly staff. The owners made all their packaging compostable. This is so important to me and the community. We need more businesses like this that actually care about the environment. Kudos to them for making this a priority to their business.
Quick and the food was great.
Good food a bit expensive though
Phenomenal French fries, wholeheartedly recommend
Amazing fries
Found the Chicken Burger, Fries and Onion Rings quite good. They take Cash only and prices are reasonable.
Garbage for insane prices. They claim everything includes tax but they only accept cash. Yeah ok, we all know how that works.
Awesome fries! And super friendly service!
Great food with a great view
Best fish tacos ever!
Carole and James are a fabric of the Collingwood Downtown. Their initiative on the environment is a real example to the business owners of this community. In addition, The Chipper is a favorite stop on my walks and visit to Sunset Park. Congratulations to you and your staff.
Over priced and not really worth the money.
Food is mediocre. Fries and onion rings were left in the fryer too long. Oil was not replaced after many uses on a busy weekend. You could taste it. The burger tastes like a no name brand frozen pattie. The cheese slice is the same inexpensive no name brand type. I would recommend going to your favorite burger spot instead. There are many better burger options in Collingwood. Depending on the time of day the fries might have been better. Prices are competitive with other restaurants in town.
Good poutine and chicken nuggets
Great service, nice selection of flavours hand scooped.
Good food, good choices, fast and friendly service. Great covered sitting area and love that everything is recyclable paper products!
We read lots of great reviews about this place and luckily we were able to try their fries during the last weekend of the season they were open. The French fries were so YUMMY, I know we will be back next year!
Good but expensive
Great food!
Burger and fries restaurant. Sold ice cream around back. Had an ATM. I found the food was tasty.
Great fries and a decent selection of other items. Pretty cheap, but some of the items seem a bit pricier than youd find elsewhere.
Almost $20 for a small fish and chips is outrageous. I will not eat there again.
Great fries
Always super friendly and the food is awesome
Terrible food, terrible customer service. Very expensive --and-- doesnt accept debit cards... Cost $4 on top to pay for this. Way better places in town.
Pretty pricy even with tax included. Fries are not that special. Would not recommend. Eating the fries gave me a headache.
Very tasty but a bit pricey
Food is amazing. Mushrooms are a must try!
Best fries ever! The food is delicious, hot and tasty, and they have scooped ice cream!
Awesome, cheap, great location. They need to expand and open one in Guelph please.
Has great fish & Chips and a nice location.
