The food here hasn't changed in the 30+ years I've been going here. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! All of your "big greasy feed" needs can be met here; and with lots of flavor and decent portion size! Definitely worth a visit!

Visiting Newfoundland stopped in for some fish and chips. Great pricing and great food. Definitely will be back for more. 👍

I just tried this for the first time. Had a 2 piece fish and chips. The old lady had cod bites and fries with dressing and gravy. The amount of food we got was unreal. There was so much! The flavour though! It was unbelievable. I don't know if they're always this good, but wow. The fish was the best I ever had in NL. So crispy and crunchy outside, but succulent and juicy inside. Filled with flavor. The fries were amazing. After so many disappointing fish and chip places over the last year, this was worth the wait! I'll definitely be back!

Fries lots of them drowned in what they call gravy. If you likes your Fries soggy this is the spot to be at. Yeah no Chinese food here they took the woks up to keep up with the fish and chips demand. Hmmm went for one thing and got some sandwich worth maybe 5 bucks and overpriced soggy Fries. I am glad I went here not ever again peace out to ya ol lady . Don't work to hard with them flapping doors they might just take ya out .

UPDATED BELOW... Great food every time. I have been a customer for many many years. Highly recommended. September 2024 update: Since the new ownership we have been back a few times. Before the new owners added Chinese food to the menu, it was the same great food. Shortly after they added Chinese, the food was not as good. I stopped going. I heard they removed Chinese food from the menu and in hopes for a "recovery", we went back. Sadly, the food was still very different and certainly not as good. Personally, even though a nice place with great employees, I will not be going back. I will miss the old food.

This not the first i have been to this restaurant. I always enjoyed their food. Lately i have gotten hair in my food and today the fries were rubbery and tasted like they have been cooked forever and reheated. Yes i have spoke with someone there before and didn't feel like they were apologetic at all.

Service was fantastic. Food was even better. I had the cod bites and fries and it was spectacular. The batter was crispy and not too greasy, fries were cooked just right. Reccomend 100%.

Perfectly crispy, moreish chips, some of the best I’ve ever had. Some store-bought miracle whip on the burger (I’d prefer actual mayo), but still a great chicken sandwich.

They give very generous portion sizes, but it can be a little greasy on times. One thing I didnt like is that they charge $3.50 for a 500 ml bottle of pop. In my opinion, thats a little pricey. What I did like are the portion sizes because its easy to order one plate and share between 2 people.

This is a small town, greasy spoon style of restaurant. However, dont judge it by the genre alone. The food is excellent! The batter is thin and crispy so theres no trapped grease beneath the batter. The fish was fresh and cooked to the perfect flake point. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The fries were tasty and not the least bit greasy. Even the gravy was the perfect thickness and taste to blend with the food. The portions are ENORMOUS! Make sure you are very hungry, or plan on sharing your meal with a friend. The prices are very reasonable as well, even if the portions had been more typical. The restaurant also has burgers and a full menu of Chinese food. Everything is made there. Even the Chinese food tastes great and has large portions.

Wings were amazing. Fish was amazing. Dressing and gravy were great. Chips were no so great.

December 22, 2023

Two 3-Piece wings and chips and a small onion rings for $42.00 that were too greasy to even finish. Sad to say it will be my last meal at the Seaside. Used to be the best on the shore, definitely no more.

Fish was ok but fries way over cooked

Yesterday, my family and I ordered from Seaside to celebrate my mothers birthday. Normally the food and service are both great at this resturant. When we recieved the food yesterday, we immediately noticed a sour, chemical-like smell coming from the meals. Thinking not much of it, we all took a bite of our food and the dressing was absolutely rancid. All five of our meals were ruined by the foul dressing and we had to throw the majority of the food out. Out of concern, my mother called the resturant to ensure that the dressing hadnt gone bad or hadnt been contaminated by any cleaning chemicals. Not only were we hoping to recieve the quality of food we had paid for but we were all concerned for the health and safety of others who ordered from the resturant last night. On this occasion, the staff who answered my mothers phone call were very polite and understanding. They told her that the manager would call back the next day and resolve the issue. Today we recieved a very abrupt and disrespectful phone call from the resturant. We were told that the foul, sour taste of the food was due to the savory in the dressing. However, my family and I still do not believe this to be true as all of us are feeling unwell today. There was no attempt made by the resturant to help correct my mothers spoiled birthday supper. I have been a long time fan of Seaside and my family has bought food from this location for over twenty years now. However, after last nights experience, I have no intentions of returning to the resturant and I will gladly get my take out fish elsewhere.

A CBS staple for years. Home on Holidays and wanted a plate of fish n Chips. Of course with dressing to boot. Ordered the special. small plate...... ha anything but small. Didnt need to eat for a week. Staff super friendly, service quick, and clean place to sit and enjoy a meal. Now if there was a small patio out the back and they had a liquor license, would be top notch. Thanks as always keep up the stellar service

This was the second time my friend and I ate at Seaside Restaurant. The meal (Clubhouse and fries) was great. My friend had cod bites and fries. He said the cod bites were very good. Both meals were blocked with fries, which was a good thing. Hot and fresh. Service was good as well. While we had our meal, customer traffic was steady. A good thing. Try the Seaside, you wont be disappointed!

While visiting the CBS area we thought we would drop by this mom & pop, as many Google reviewers gave it 4+ stars. We visited mid-afternoon and were the only patrons. If you want quantity over quality you may enjoy this place - each meal was served with a large plate of fries as a side. While the fries were homemade and well-cooked, the homemade beef? burger I received tasted very, very fishy. Unfortunately, after paying for and receiving the meal we were not checked upon and were not given an opportunity to express this concern in the moment.
