Award Winning for Best Fish and Chips / Seafood Battered * Breaded * Grilled
Perhaps one of my favorite places in the world.... The food... old world... taste and quality and to be remembered. Elisabeth, Maria and the family... have that care your mom would give you if she saw you hungry. They even managed to convert my fish neutral sister to be a (John's) fish lover. John's opened shortly after my parents moved to Etobicoke when I was a child and when I went on Saturday they treated my Mum and i like a members of the family.
Just discovered this little restaurant. What a gem! The best fish and chips in the city and I’m from the north of England so I know what I’m talking about. The batter is light and crisp and the haddock so fresh and flaky. The staff are very friendly. Thank you Ellie. It was nice to meet you. Looking forward to my next visit already!
We have dined in at John’s many times but this past weekend we decided to cater in and we had the most positive experience. The food was great as usual despite the fact that we didn’t eat it immediately. And the service top quality as well. The staff organized our meals for 17 people so that we could distribute them easily and not a thing was missing. We even got a chance to taste their battered artichokes - delicious!
If you like fish n chips you will love John’s. They do an awesome battered but they also offer fish that’s breaded and their grilled branzino - yum! The owners / chef show their Greek flair starting with their fresh greek salad, village salad where you sop it up with grilled pita bread, homemade baklava, and ekmek.
Definitely one of the best fish and chips I’ve had in a while…… an amazing food with a hint of having home cooked meal❣️
Had the loveliest meal here this evening. Took my family out and everyone loved it! The coconut shrimp appetizer was delectable. The haddock and chips had very generous portions - batter was light and crispy! I ordered the grilled branzino with Greek salad and rice and it was impeccable. It is a family run business and they made us feel like extended family members. I just loved the whole experience. Good thing we live nearby and can go back again soon!
The hospitality and kindness of the restaurant owner Eli and his daughter were very special. I felt like at home. Two neighboring countries and friendship, brotherhood and peace, common history, the same culture and similar cuisines, hearts that are actually one, the values that make us who we are, always remind us of our humanity and that we are the same. The food was very delicious. The service is very fast and the hygiene is perfect as always. Prices are quite reasonable. In my opinion, this is the best seafood restaurant in the region. I strongly recommend this restaurant to everyone. You should come and try it at least once. especially fish and chips. thanks for everything. See you again as soon as possible...
I recently had the pleasure of discovering this fantastic fish and chips restaurant, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. The owners, who hail from Greece, have truly mastered the art of preparing exceptional fish dishes. The star of the show was, of course, their fish. It was cooked to perfection, with a crispy, golden batter that gave way to tender, flaky fish on the inside. Each bite was a delightful burst of flavor, and the portion size was generous. The side of chips was equally impressive, with just the right amount of seasoning and a satisfying crunch. I couldn't get enough of them! What sets this restaurant apart, though, is the passion and warmth of the owners. Their Greek heritage shines through in the food, and their genuine hospitality makes you feel like part of the family. They took the time to offer additional free salad as well. In short, if you're a fan of fish and chips and crave a truly amazing culinary experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. The combination of excellent food and the Greek touch from the owners makes it a gem in the world of seafood dining. I can't wait to return for another delicious meal.
My husband and I randomly stopped by (the outside has a very inviting vibe) and we were blown away. The best fish and chips weve had in the city, definitely get the Greek salad with the fries as your side. Family run, so welcoming. We will definitely be back, its officially our go-to spot for fish and chips.
I ordered 2 pieces of fish, a large fries and a side of gravy and it came out to $41dollars, Very pricey. Never again.
Great lunch and professional service. The batter is so beautifully light.
This was an absolute joy. The halibut and chips were cooked to perfection. Also had coleslaw which was delicious. I find most coleslaw a little too vinegary but this one had just a hint of vinegar that was perfect. Took my 90 year old mother and 91 year old father who very rarely finish their meal. There wasnt a crumb left on anyones plate. Bottle of Guinness was the real thing. Not seen this type of bottle before. Im not a Guinness drinker but found this bottled stout very delicious. Atmosphere was absolutely spot on had so many nice touches in the decor. Everywhere I looked there was something that I was saying oh look at that. Although its a nautical theme its very upscale, chic nautical. I had to ask who decorated. It was the owner, Bills, wife. I tell you this lady nailed every detail. She should be offering her services as a decorator to.others. Very talented couple. Met their pet pirrana. Dont put your fingers in the water!!! True story ... while on vacation the fish was fed 20 goldfish. Now he has an orange tint to his bottom half. Lol Was a real joy to eat here and chat with the owners. Classy, friendly couple. We will definitely be going back. Thank you Cathy, Etobicoke
I absolutely love to eat here. I always order haddock ( grilled ) & greek salad. Johns is the only fish & chips restaurant that offers rice with their fish. The food is amazing. It s always done to perfection. The service is top notch too. The restaurant is clean comfortable and I just can t say enough about how much I appreciate and enjoy dining there. Thanks Johns. Pete K.
This is a nice little family fish and chips restaurant. Very old fashioned vibes with friendly and welcoming staff. The halibut was excellent; the batter was very light and crispy... Not greasy at all. The Greek salad was simple, fresh and delicious. Overall, a great dining experience.
Love the place the owners are amazing and so sweet. The food is fantastic. We ordered fish and chips halibut and Haddock and their artichoke as an app. So good. Haddock is chemical free amd their fish is fillet in the restaurant. Definitely returning and great summer spot to chill and enjoy good meal. Also cute lights in the window for pics
The food is great, fresh and delicious! The service was excellent, efficient and friendly. I would definitely recommend John s Fish House!!!
Great food but a bit expensive.
Delicious fish and chips. Batter was light and not greasy at all. Will definitely be back.
Best fish and chips in Toronto, batter is spot on, chips are whole cut and delicious. Smelts were also excellent as was the calamari. Dont forget the funnel cake fries at the end, better than Canadas wonderland by a long shot! Super friendly service, they even fed the piranha and let my kids watch! Kid-friendliness: Kids menu
Lovely family lovely food. Highly recommend and will come back for the lobster roll !
By far the cleanest best food restaurants in Toronto!
Oh yum! The batter is fluffy and the lobster roll is delicious nice and clean family restaurant. Service is excellent too.
Delicious and lightly battered halibut. Highly recommend coming here!
#1 fish and chips all time! Would recommend
Our first visit but certainly not the last. Perfectly cooked halibut and chips, the fish had the lightest batter, crisp and delicious. All washed down with a cool, crisp white wine. A perfect lunch with friendly service.
Was craving a lobster roll and Johns delivered. A bit pricey at $31, but as fresh and delicious as can be!
Great fish. The lobster roll is fantastic
Delicious fish and chips. Sometimes certain spots you can taste the old oil on the batter, this was very fresh and lightly breaded. Such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Service was great. Look forward to trying other things on the menu when I go back!
This place is a vibe. The restaurant itself is super well kept and has a very welcoming energy. Service was perfect. The fish quality was top tier and served deliciously. Highly recommend even if your not a fish and chips person
The best fish and chips restaurant my husband and I have experienced! FOOD: Excellent quality and delicious halibut. Thier calamari was outstanding - always fresh and seasoned to perfection, better than any restaurant in the GTA, in my opinion. They also have delicious LOBSTER ROLL, which is my fave. It was made with real lobster, unlike some places downtown that claim to serve lobster roll but are really serving a mix of shrimp and imitation crab meat. Their menu has a lot of delicious offerings that we cant wait to try. We will definitely return! SERVICE: The service was above and beyond hospitable. The owners are very friendly and kind. They took the time to get to know us and were attentive to our needs; this is rare in the restaurant scene these days. My husband and I go to a LOT of restaurants and servers are often inattentive and rushed. Johns Fish and Chips is a family owned business so theres a personal touch that makes your dining experience pleasant and memorable. ATMOSPHERE: This is a charming restaurant that is relaxing and calming to dine in. The restaurant is also in a convenient location. My husband and I very much enjoyed our experience and we cant wait to return. Thank you, Maria and Bill!
My fiancé and I were welcomed with open arms at this family-run establishment. We decided to go on Good Friday, not expecting it to be take-out only with a limited menu that day. It was way busier than we anticipated, but all things considered, the staff carried themselves well despite the large volume of orders. The wife/mother even went around making sure the people waiting were doing okay. The food itself was the best fish and chips Ive had thus far in Etobicoke. Both the fish and fries were cooked to perfection. I cant wait to go back and dine in.
We had the grilled bronzini and it was incredible. Beautifully seasoned and cooked. We did takeout, but the service was lovely and the vibes inside were cozy and nice. Cant wait to go back!
The BEST fish and chips I ever had. It s hard to find a place in Toronto with food that tastes like homemade, delicious and perfectly cooked. Me and my husband already went to John s more than once and the food is 100% of the time amazing! We always leave there happy. Everyone at John s is super nice and friendly. Their battered halibut was NOT AT ALL grease or oil, it was soooooo good! We already tried their rice pudding, lemon meringue pie and chocolate truffle cake, and we loved it all. Amazing option to have lunch or dinner.
Got to Johns Fish & Chips late but they insisted on making a fresh batch to ensure the best quality. The fish and chips were fantastic loved their commitment to great food!
Visited for the 1st time last night. Lovely decor and ambiance. Great food and service. Looking forward to returning again soon.
It definitely will be one from our favorite restaurants in Toronto! Delicious food, great atmosphere. Try their lobster sandwich it s perfect Highly recommend this place!
Dropped in here for the first time today to try the lobster roll and it did not disappoint, good amount of lobster and love the fresh lemon wedge. Feta fries are super yummy too not dry like other places
A local hidden gem for fish and chips and other seafood options. Clean with simple but nice ambience, very relaxing atmosphere (my style of quieter music) ! Friendly, personable and attentive service with great food! Owners went out of their way to assist a repeat vision impaired customer to ensure his online order was delivered. Will definitely be back again! Definitely worth a visit!
This place serves the best Fish and Chips! Best we ve ever had! Service and staff are all amazing! Halibut battered crispy and perfect, delicious home cut fries and their gravy is a must!!!!
Just had the lunch special at John s and it was delicious. Really great fish and chips. Batter was perfect, light and not greasy. Seasoning was on point. The fish was cooked perfectly and i was surprised at the portion size, took a pic. Huge portion. I was treated with a lot of care and kindness as well. Big kudos to Jonh s F&C team. Thank you!
Great food and amazing service. The fish was battered lightly and not oily which is my preference. The Greek salad was great as well. I definitely will be coming back! Parking: Theres free parking spots out front, but not many.
Saw a comment on tiktok to check this place out, went and had their new lobster roll and the haddock and coleslaw and was blown away! One of the owners Maria was an absolute sweetheart and gave us the best service we could ask for with a big smile and the cozy atmosphere is so lovely. Can t believe I haven t been here before but now I will definitely be back and telling others about how good it is!
I recently tried Johns Fish and Chips and found it to be a solid choice for a casual meal. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The Sea Bass had a nice crisp from the grill and was fresh. The menu offers a good variety, and the portions are generous for the price. Its a decent spot for a straightforward and satisfying fish and chips experience. Id recommend it for those looking for a reliable option in the area.
Best fish and chips weve had in the GTA. Their fish is moist and fresh, the batter is light, fluffy and golden crisp. We could tell from eating it that they change their oil frequently: it doesnt have a greasy taste, its light and clean. We were served by the owners wife, who is very nice. She tells us the owner filets the halibut himself, and thats why its so moist. Would highly recommend this place any time youre in the neighborhood.
Excellent fish and chips. Super clean restaurant and great staff!! Will be going back. Food
I gave a 2 stars just for the atmosphere of the dining area. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND EXTREMELY PRICEY for putting boiled stinky fish on the plate. It does not taste like it used to. They didn t bother change my order when I requested. On top of that they requested tips. Paid over $60 for literally nothing. Not sure if the management changed but it s horrible! If you love to explore and waste money then by all means go to this rip off place. Fish n chips should not cost this much for such bad quality. They too lied about the ingredients they use so much for a customer s allergy alert. Is simply street food with a 5 star label. I have travelled the world and had fish and chips .none of them as this. Dietary restrictions: Nothing indicated by owner
I just want to write about a fantastic fish and chips restaurant which is across the street from my clinic. We treat ourselves to their delicious halibut fish, chips and coleslaw. The fish is very crispy and the portion size is generous. The fries are delicious and the coleslaw is perfect. They also have many other options on their menu. We have tried many other places, but Johns Fish and Chips is by far the best we have ever had. It is exceptional and a must try. It is a family owned restaurant which is very clean, and customer service is number one to them. The staff are very friendly and kind. They make sure that you are satisfied in every way.
A team of people who understand service! Thank you for accommodating me 3 min before closing by making something fresh for me and my family.
Super lovely people and delicious food
Excellent halibut - large portion, not greasy. This is our choice for local fish and chip shop.
Incredible family run restaurant that I ve been eating at with my dad for 20 years. My dad s been going for longer. It s a staple in the community and I can count on great food with great owners, every time. The only certainties in life are Death, taxes and John s Fish & Chips.
We had the most DELICIOUS meal at Johns Fish & Chips! We ve been to many fish and chips restaurants, but this amazing spot knocked it out of the park! The food was fresh and hot and cooked to perfection. Also, the restaurant was sparking clean, something we noticed right away. To top it off, it is a family run restaurant and they are all so kind and welcoming. Couldn t have had a better experience and were so happy we walked in! Definitely recommend this restaurant ! Go check it out!
Whenever I have doubts on what to eat that will leave me satisfied and happy, I think of the calamari at Johns Fish & Chips. Never fails to bring me joy.
Best fish and chips and other great seafood! If your looking for fish and chips and this location is far its well worth the trip. This is a family owned and operated shop. The food is FRESH and homemade quality. The service is is so friendly they make you feel like family. The serving sizes were large and were able to eat it all as it was so fresh and delicious. The fried battered fish was light, crispy and not at all greasy. BEST gosh and chips what Ive ever had. Highly recommended! Cant wait to go back.
This Saturday after the Toronto Boat, we kept with our nautical theme and experienced the Winterlicious menu at Johns Fish and Chips. It was fabulous! The friendly service and delightful decor made us feel very welcome. I had the coconut shrimp, amazing, and the calamari, delicious. My partner had the smelts, a real delicacy, and the halibut and chips, cooked to perfection! We finished our meal with the delicious homemade, warm baklava. Thank you for a wonderful evening! We highly recommend dining in at Johns and will be back!!
Authentic Greek cuisine! From authentic Greeks! Calamari is fantastic. Loved their baked fish with rice. Cooked just right. Flavorful and fish is juicy. Highly recommend this place if you want fish and chips!
Been to a lot of fish n chips places throughout the city and this is clearly the best in town. The halibut was amazing and the homemade coleslaw was to die for! I hope John never retires!
My husband and I went for winterlicious here - found this little gem! We felt like seafood and we got the best! Its been a very long time we have experienced this quality customer service. Maria and her Mom really made our time here enjoyable. They have the best calamari! My husband and I will for sure be back and will recommend this Greek family owned restaurant to others! Deserves a 5 star for sure.
Awesome place!! Best fish and chips in the west end!! My go to when craving fish and chips! Batter is always nice and crispy unlike so many other fish and chips where it s very greasy and soggy. Love this place! not to mention the owners are so friendly and actually care about their customers and products.
One of, if not the best battered fish in the city! Perfectly crispy batter with flaky fish. And the homemade coleslaw is also a standout. I love the options for fish that most fish and chips spots dont offer, and the breaded fish is also fantastic. The family who owns the place are lovely and so welcoming. The restaurant has such a fun, inviting atmosphere because of that which makes the food even better. We ended up getting baklava for dessert, and it was also delicious -- their baklava is also homemade and you wont find it elsewhere.
Very lovely and welcoming husband and wife owners. My husband is a fish and chips connoisseur and he found John s has the best! The appetizer special of pressed Greek yogurt and honey was out of this world. I could have made a meal of it. Next time, I m going to try some shrimp or maybe join my husband in fish n chips. Worth the half hour drive from mid Toronto.
The fish and chips are delicious. However the pork was horrible and chewy (gun texture) and the calamari had a foul smell. The artichoke were greasy and will probably not order again. Spent $135 for a grease fest.
Johns has the best fish and chips in the city. My family and I go here on a weekly basis and it never disappoints. Always ready quick and always fresh and delicious. They also have the best Greek salad as a side for all their various dishes we choose to get. Branzino is also 10/10 highly recommend. Always my go to place to dine in or take out!
My family has been eating here for years, best fish & chips in Toronto!
Amazing food and service. Best in the city! Must try
Had a great experience at Johns Fish & Chips. Food was delicious and service was fantastic. Would definitely recommend!
Without a doubt the best fish & chips in the city. Service, food & quality is always elite. A staple in the Etobicoke community, youre never disappointed leaving Johns!
The BEST fish & chips in the city! always fresh and delicious + big portion sizes. Its a pleasure dining in - staff is alway friendly and welcoming
Simply the best fish and chips I ve had great experience with great people 10/10 definitely recommend.
Tasty fish ! Great chips!
Best family run business in Etobicoke! Super friendly, great food!
Friendly service and delicious food! Cant wait to come back here
This is the greatest fish and chips spot in Toronto. I LOVE the branzino.
Great food, great service. Grilled Halibut is my favourite thing on the menu! Highly recommend.
I don t always eat fish and chips but when I do I make sure I stop by at John s. Household classics with fresh ingredients. Doesn t get any more more classic than this!
I recommend the fish and chips it was really good! Definitely coming back.
Owners are incredibly wonderful and polite! Tried calamari, fish and chips and lemon tart, I can easily say-took my breath away! Definitely theres nothing like food made with love and passion.
Best fish and chips in the city. My grandparents from Scotland won t go to another chippy as long as this one s around.
Love this place! Great staff and better food
Amazing halibut and fries, friendly staff best spot in Etobicoke
Been a staple of our family dinners on fridays for years ! Always is fantastic service with lovely people and delicious fish and chips. Amazing spot !
Ordered the breaded haddock with seasoned rice, greek salad, and a calamari appetizer. The fish and chips were top notch and the calamari was very fresh. If youre looking for the best fish and chips in Etobicoke, this is the place.
Food was great and so is the staff I will be back for more!
Absolutely without a doubt my favourite fish and chips in the entire city.
Truly one of the best culinary experiences! The calamari the best I ve ever had. Please go!
Without a doubt the best fish and chips in Toronto - and not just Toronto quite possibly THE WORLD. If I am on my way out and got one last meal, I am getting John s Fish & Chips Halibut. There s no way I d rather go out. The fish - fresh as can be. The breading - absolutely dynamite. The fries - done to perfection. The people at John s Fish & Chips just get it and know what they re doing with fish & chips, and I ve lived globally. These guys cats just have the fish and chip game mastered
Amazing food and atmosphere. One of my favourite places to order from for comfort food.
Excellent food, friendly staff!
Great Place!! The establishment is beautiful, the food is good and the staff are super friendly :)
Recently moved to the area and popped in here to try it out. Friendly and helpful staff, large portions, great food quality, adorably quaint and enjoyable space. Great place to take someone for quiet date. TARTAR SAUCE IS SOOOO GOOD Parking: Parking right in front Wheelchair accessibility: No step easily accessible
Wonderful meal. Great service
My whole family esp my late uncle and aunt plus myself have going there for over 30 years now. The best fish you cant get anywhere else. ;)
Incredible first time experience! The very Best fish and chips in Etobicoke Amazing, service... Warm, welcoming and super friendly!! Our new go to place for fresh fish and exceptional service.
The best restaurant ever, thank you so much!
Our second visit for our second year anniversary and the food was just as fresh as the first time. The battered Haddock and grilled shrimp were delicious! The tzatziki and pita app was warm and the perfect shareable size. The ambience is always friendly and familiar. Loved it!
Every time I come to this restaurant I feel like family. They are so friendly and accommodating. The food is awesome and always hot. I recommend it. Great atmosphere.
This place has the best fish and chips
Best calamari! portion is good and worth it. Definitely will come back
Their food is very good and great! recommending to try John s Fish N Chips!
Awesome fish and chips !! Excellent service !! Highly recommended!!
Great service and food
#Highly recommend #Excellent food. Im craving for Fish and chips and surprisingly saw Johns restaurant . Brought my family there and didnt regret with the foods that we ordered. My little daughter loves it and both my husband and eldest daughter enjoyed their calamari. Im glad theres fish and chips restaurant near to us . . #surely we will be back.
Highly recommend the batteted Halibut! It s crisp and not too greasy, it was great. Always nice to support a local spot!
Great food and atmosphere.
Not very often you find a fish & chips and Greek food combined. The halibut and baklava were fantastic! Very friendly and personable service as well.
Great old-school fish and chip place that is well-respected in the neighbourhood.
Absolutely delicious fish and chips! Cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff. No wonder they have been in business for 40 years!
First time trying this lovely spot - we were welcomed with a friendly smile right away. We ordered the cod & the halibut - this was the first fish and chips place I ve been to that had delicious fries along with the fish. It came out relatively quick and was absolutely delicious. Would definitely be back for the welcoming hosts and the tasty food!
Etobicoke Gem! My husband and I finally visited this small family owned business and we were very pleased! The atmosphere was very warm, inviting, and friendly and the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. We ordered the calamari and halibut dinners - the fish was fried to perfection, not greasy at all and perfectly battered - same with the calamari! The rice was amazing! You can tell this family business takes pride in what they do and it definitely shows! We will absolutely be back and telling all of our family and friends about John s!
Very friendly staff, made us feel right at home. The food was delicious. My hubby had the Brensino and he was very impressed. I had the fish and chips, also very impressed. They have a different, but very delicious take on the Baklava dessert. Its not what Im used to but it is a delicious version. I recommend to try it. Great menu with healthy options.
Super classic, the fish was delicious. Great warm service, everything youd expect and more. What a lovely comfort spot.
We went there yesterday for dinner. It was such an amazing experience. The food was amazing. We had battered halibut with fries, and grilled branzino fish with salad. The batter tasted so good. All I could say was 5 star for food. The service was amazing as well. The ambience was warm, welcoming, and joyful. Their price range is also reasonable in my opinion. Lastly, this shop is a family business that has been running for 40 years. They are definitely a must-try when you are around the Kipling station area.
Best Fish and chips ever!! If you come here definitely order their calamari and the haddock is a must try. Great experience, very sweet family that runs the restaurant. We will definitely be back for more!
What a great experience! Lovely people and AMAZING food! We will be coming back for more! Thank you!
Nice family owned restaurant. Service was very nice after the tense dinner rush hour period. Fish & chips were good, a bit dry. Calamari is excellent. Fried Artichoke was nice without over-flavoring. Churro dessert was Delicious! About a dozen tables. Limited parking.
I finally made it to this beautiful family-owned restaurant, and my only regret is that I didnt visit sooner! The place was clean, the service was outstanding, the owners treat you like family, and the food was delicious. I ordered the fish and chips the fish was fresh and so crispy; the fries cooked to perfection and not too salty, and the coleslaw hit the spot perfectly. Dont leave without ordering a slice of their famous baklava youll thank me later. I cant wait to come back :)
Its seems to be a good place 6.50 for a order of fries......and halibut and fries cost 22.00 plus taxes
Best fish and chips in Etobicoke. :)
All I can say is this place wipes all competition!! I always get fish and chips from almost anywhere when I see it s on the menu, Johns fish and chips has taken the lead hands down. John s is now a new all time favourite and a go to spot for me. That says a lot more than you may think just reading this review as I love fish and chips and have had many. Over the years, never have I been inclined to let everyone else know how great a place is. As the saying goes, a bad experience will have a customer tell 10 people. A good experience and they may only tell one. In this instance everybody deserves to know how awesome this place is. Whether it s Easter Sunday, or family take out night, do yourselves a favour and give this place a try. You will not regret it.
Being from Nova Scotia this place really made me feel like home. Down to the food and the staff. So good
First time trying out Johns Fish and Chips. It did not disappoint. Amazing food and great service. Will be making it a definite regular.
good
Food is above average, staff are great, and atmosphere is an old fish & chips restaurant. Clean and pleasant, but the food is over priced for the amount and quality you get. Good, but there are better close by.
After ordering online a few times, my husband and I checked John s Fish and Chips in person. The fish is so fresh (and lightly battered) and the baklava in unreal. Never had anything like it (very soft and moist). The customer service was by far the best part - everyone is very welcoming. We will be back to try the Calamari and other items off the menu!
Great atmosphere, and the fish is terrific
The spot to be for fish and chips! Consistently fresh, delicious, and generous portions. Owned by absolute angels, who will even bring out water for when you get a flat tire in their parking lot and are waiting for CAA ;) We will be back (again and again)!
Good food, good service.
Amazing fish and chips probably the best I ve had in the city. Perfect batter that s not too heavy and fresh fish. I had the haddock and loved it. Great service by the most friendliest owners.
Best fish and chips in the city and awesome Greek selections. Bright, quiet and nice.
The absolute BEST fish and chips around. Great atmosphere and wonderful service. A must try.
Fantastic food and service
Amazing food and the friendliest family!!! Been enjoying their fish and calamari for a while but recently decided to try the octupus and it was AMAZING!! The way it was prepared, the tenderness and the flavours made it really enjoyable... the best I have ever eaten.... Its so nice to walk into a restaurant where you are treated like family and even better when the food is so great!!
John s fish and chips is a must try!!! The food was delicious, especially the home made tartar sauce, the atmosphere was warm and comforting and the owners were an absolute delight :) Will definitely return and recommend this wonderful restaurant to anyone looking for amazing fish and chips!!
Came in today with my parents and best friend after a recommendation from a friend and his dad. They said it was their favourite fish and chips spot after going through all of the places we ve both been and I HAD to try. They were 100% right. First of all, best fish and chips I have actually ever eaten but the service is whats worth writing this review (i have never written a restaurant review). Maria was the sweetest and kindest lady along with her mother and husband Bill. We chatted for about 40 minutes with conversations flying back and forth. Everyone had so much to say. She was super personable and seems like an amazing person. This will be our new spot and i can t wait to come back :)))
Great food and great people. A welcoming, friendly atmosphere and charming dishes made with confidence (and it shows). A neighbourhood staple that I will keep coming back to.
Tried this for the first time a couple weeks ago, close to home, good reviews. Good service. Had the saganaki appitizer and grilled fish with Greek salad for main and it was very good. My friend had the fish and chips and it was a generous portion and looked great, will definitely dine there again.
I just enjoyed THE TASTIEST battered halibut I have eaten in years. Not greasy, light batter and the fish was perfectly cooked: moist and flaky--you could tell it was fresh. Fries were good and the homemade slaw was delicious--nice and vinegary. Would go back a second night in a row easily.
Always a great meal!
We have eaten here for many years. The food is consistently delicious. The owners are a delightful and conscientious couple. This restaurant has to be the best Fish & Chip restaurant in Toronto. If you haven t been to John s F & C you are missing a delightful experience. It is even better than any F & Cs in London England.
Best fish & chips I ve had in months! Glad they re open fantastic service and pleasant staff
Order the halibut and Greek Salad, some of the best in Toronto!
Tried out here with my boyfriend for the first time today since we moved in the neighbourhood few months ago. Just wanna say that we did have the best customer service ever from the owner and her family. We were also amazed by how delicious the foods were. Eventhough the menu is pretty basic, just like other fish n chips restaurants, the taste is insane and extremely different, really fresh and yummy especially artichoke and sea smelt (appertizers), salads with homemade dressing was amazing, dessert was homemade baklava so well-made and moist. Extremely recommend this restaurant in west end Etobicoke!!!
Great fish, exquisite tartare sauce. Excellent and friendly service. Thanks very much, Ill be back!
It was a wonderful treat to come back after this terrible pandemic. Our hosts were most welcoming . The dining room redone in a pleasing airy manner. The halibut and chips were delicious. The batter was light and crispy, chips golden in color. See you next week. Cheers.
Honeslty this is one of the best restaurants in Canada. My family has been coming here since it opened back in the 80s, and the recipes are still high quality. If you want to eat in, be prepared to be served by the most wonderful staff members. Family owned and family run. From Grilled Cheese sandwiches to their homemade Tatar sauce, you will be satisfied...especially when looking at the bill, the prices are clear and true to the quality of the food. The entire restaurant gets cleaned throughly daily once the establishment closes. You can feel safe with the atmosphere and the touch of music, as well as workers being fully vaccinated and they still check the QR codes. My immune compromised grandfather and his lovely wife swung by the restaurant for a quick lunch and they felt safe. The staff remember their customers names and check in with you even when its packed on a Friday night. I only get a Greek salad from here, with their family recipe dressing. Theres a reason why this restaurant has been congratulated with all of these awards; very well deserved. Fish is fish but nothing beats Johns Fish n Chips!!!
will not come back.
Bill and Maria are rock stars! Best. Halibut. Ever.
Holy smokes, such delicious food. Seafood cooked to perfection. Owners are friendly, feels like visiting family. Will return and recommend to friends.
Once again a great dinner. Warm and welcoming staff.
We loved our dinner here.Fish portion is big and perfectly cooked! Our whole family enjoyed the meal. The server was polite and service was fast. We will be back!
Best fish and chips in the city! The batter was light and crispy and the fish was perfectly cooked. The staff is also very friendly!
Just discovered this great little Greek Restaurant. We had an amazing fish and chips. I love that there is an option of grilled, breaded or battered. Maria and her husband (who is the chef) do a great job.
What a delicious late lunch. Thank you, Bill, for the very tasty food, and thank you, Maria, for being a wonderful host. We had a lovely time and will visit again, for sure! Have a good weekend, everyone! (Go for halibut and chips!!)
Fresh fish, good service, however, a little pricey. Would have 5 starred but I paid over 50 bucks for lunch.
Great service great food
We tried this fish and chips place in our neighbourhood. My friend ordered the Halibut fish and chips and I ordered the Grilled Halibut with rice. The battered fish was tasty and delicious. It was lightly battered and the fish was fresh, moist and well seasoned. The grilled fish was not as tasty but the rice was good. Next time I will probably order the fish and chips. The place is clean and service was fast.
Amazing fish and chips. Outstanding service
Amazing!
The fish was just as I liked it great batter staff very pleasant.
Tried this today, ordered battered Halibut and Haddock with chips. Fish is delicious, well seasoned and crispy. The chips were by far the best weve tried and their tartar sauce is great. We learned it is a family owned restaurant for over 40 years. Service was friendly and fast, will go again!
The best fish and chips Ive ever had. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant and the food is always prepared fresh. Their tartar sauce is amazing. The staff is always very friendly as well. You cant go wrong by choosing to come here.
Excellent fish and seafood options prepared well. I did find the prices slightly higher than I would expect though for the experience.
The best in town.
Great place to have an Excellent fish and chips. Good service and Friendly staff
Ordered yesterday from Johns, the battered halibut with coleslaw and rice. This was the worst packaged food and fish Ive seen to date. Those foam containers with the soggiest piece of fish Ive seen, with a side of rice. All wrapped with paper, the funny thing is I ordered the rice because i didnt want that much oil from the fries, but guess what was dripping with oil? The whole paper wrap was drenched in oil. For 20$ i expect a little better quality and less oil!! Not rating the food because of course I didnt eat it. Thanks for trying though
First time eating at John s Fish N Chips I have never had Fish and Chips that even come close to what they serve here !!! The food smelt so amazing I couldn t wait to get back to work to eat it The taste was unimaginably delicious I got the halibut battered with fries and coleslaw Everything was so fresh and cooked to Perfection ! Had a coworkers first time trying fish n chips and even they were blown away by how great this tasted! Not only was the food outstanding but the staff here are extremely friendly, polite, and respectful, They showed great customer service and make some amazing food to back them up! I will for-sure be getting this food more often If I could leave 100 stars I would !!!!
Parking: Parking in the front
I ve been coming to John s for decades. Brought three friends tonight. Two of us had the haddock with fries and the Greek salad. Two orders of halibut and fries. One with Greek salad, one without. First time having dessert. Lemon merengue pie, baclava and a raspberry cheesecake. Large portions. Delicious food. Delightful owners husband cooking and wife waiting tables. Happy to support local! Can t wait till I visit again.
Best fish and chips in Toronto
From the decor to the food to the atmosphere, we loved it and we met the owners and they were lovely and extremely friendly. The food was really delicious. Will definitely come back for more.
It was fantastic
I went in right at closing and didn t realize. They still took my order and the food is phenomenal. We come here often and always get chicken fingers and battered haddock with Greek salad. Friendly service and high quality every time. Very fresh. Tip them well!
We visited as part of Summerlicious, and immediately decided we needed to go back to try out the rest of the menu! This quintessential neighborhood spot is a true family-run spot. Super friendly owners take care of you with freshly prepared seafood (and drinks!) You can taste the quality and love that goes into each meal, and they still take the time to get to know you. No wonder theyve been around for as long as they have!
The best fish and chips in the city - bar none! Amazing family-friendly environment, great food and overall experience. Highly recommend!
This place is fantastic! The food was amazing and the staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. A definite must for anyone who wants to enjoy a dinner out!!!
Fabulous family run business w/a 42 year legacy! So friendly. Wow!! It was my first time here for Summerlicious, would definitely recommend & I would come back. Fish was super light & crispy, greek salad was super tasty, coconut shrimp was so sweet & savory. The portions are huge! Too much food. Great value. Love love love :)
For context, my family is from Nova Scotia so we feel we have had good seafood before. We have ordered takeout and were impressed with the fish and chips. Our large party of 13 recently dined in - every single person, ranging from kids aged 9-10 to adults in their 80s felt the food was excellent - grilled or battered. If ordering the battered fish the serving of fish itself is huge, and the lovely person who served our big party was attentive, friendly and provided excellence guidance to our party member who has celiac disease. We did not take pictures but refer to all the others posted on Google reviews - they are indicative of what we had. I would not describe the venue itself as being fancy, but fits the bill for what I would expect of a nice, family run local business that serves high quality food. Will definitely return as our new go to seafood place and try more of the menu, and continue to plan to support this local gem.
New to the area, gave this restaurant a chance for Friday night dinner with the wife and it was WONDERFUL! Amazing fish and chips! I don t think you ll find this quality anywhere else in the GTA. Lovely family, lovely restaurant. New favourite neighbourhood spot!
Fantastic fishnchips, friendly service and good atmosphere
This is probably the best experience Ive had at a restaurant in years. The food was just perfect for my taste. I love coleslaw and have eaten a fair amount of it throughout my life, and I think I probably complimented them 3 or 4 times! Then proceeded to clean my plate of it. The fish was perfectly battered and fried, and the tarter sauce was unique but familiar and made a perfect topping to the haddock I ordered. To top it off, they have Fanta, a drink to bring you back. To add to the experience the owners are wonderful, and make you feel at home even if its your first time there (which it was mine). I am so happy I just happened to be in the area and was hungry at the time. This is my new spot for Fish & Chips and worth the hour drive for me to get it. I will be back soon!! -Sarah
I absolutely love this place, from the decor to the food (especially the food). The halibut is recommended here and its been amazing every time Ive gotten it. The service is very homely, and hospitable. Overall a 5/5, love this place.
Good fish and chips
Johns Fish and Chips is amazing. Its an old place that really know what they are doing. A place that stats in business this long is staying afloat for a reason. We got halibut and chipsand we all loved it. Best fishand chips place Ive been to in a very long time. Fish is tasty and firm. Loved my experience.
The food is amazing along with friendly staffs. Can t go wrong by stopping by and giving this place a try.
Wonderful and clean place Friendly people
Best Calamari in the city! I have tried to find a property cooked calamari for long time in GTA and everywhere it s rubbery. Here was perfectly cooked like the calamari you will enjoy in the Mediterranean or a Greek island. Bravo! Everything we tried was perfect. This is a family business and owners are friendly and very nice people.
Strongly recommended for Fish-n-Chips! They are an awesome family run restaurant with friendly service and great taste!
The fish was amazing! Loved meeting the owners. The fish is Atlantic caught and quite fresh. The batter is light and tasty. The onion rings were awesome. Its worth the trip. The portions were huge. Look at the pic below for the size of one piece of fish. Coleslaw is made in house and really good. I will be back soon with my entire family!!!!
Very nice people
best of the best! never had better haddock in my life 10/10 would recommend
The fish was absolutely phenomenal! Stunning texture on the calamari, and the sea smelts were breaded and fried to perfection. Both my friends halibut and my dishes were the best fried fish weve ever had at a fish and chip place. Would definitely recommend!
Mmm mmm!
Can t believe it was first time to taste this amazing Halibut and Chips dinner. My only destination in Toronto going forward for fish and chips. Highly recommend
Probably the best fish and chips I ve ever had and the service was great! The spin off on the greek food is amazing. The owners take such great care and pride in their restaurant and the food. FYI the baklava desert is to die for!!!!
Nice family owned restaurant with excellent battered haddock. Our server, Maria, was attentive and friendly. I will definitely go back to try their calamari with a cold bottle of Landshark.
I popped in last week with my friends visiting from Cape Breton They know a thing or two about fish and chips and gave 2 solid thumbs up This restaurant is one of Etobicokes old mainstays Not big and grandiose but a charming little hole in the wall and I say that affectionately We had a lovely engaging conversation with the owner on a variety of topics Totally authentic experience through and through Highly recommend
Great host great food clean very well made fish and chips. Love it Parking: Just in front
Fantastic Fish and Chips. And the Greek salad is great as well. Super friendly staff and prompt pickup service.
This place is a gem! So happy I found this place. Really tasty food made by kind people! You can tell they love what they do and theyre happy to feed us! The place is so clean too, which is super important...cant wait to eat inside once COVID ends. Got takeout. I had the halibut, haddock, chicken wings and smelt and they were all freshly made and tasted so authentic. We will definitely be new regulars! A must-try spot for seafood lovers!
I ordered haddock chips and onion rings. They dont make their own tartar sauce its from little packets and they use frozen pre made onion rings. I gave 2 stars because the portion size was decent and the fries were okay. I wont be eating from here again.
Really good place. The food is fresh and a nice family owned place. The couple are very nice and i will support this place in the future. Please try it out!
If you want a craving for fish and chips or anything that sparks your eyes on their menu, Johns Fish N Chips is where its at. Amazing service, phenomenal food. You get more then what you pay for. Nothing less than incredible!
I tried this place tonight for the first time and I am glad to say that its one of the tastiest fish and chips dishes Ive ever had! The taste is out of this world and the owners are incredibly warm and friendly! I highly recommend it!
very busy on Fridays but worth the wait. huge portions of fish and chips
I saw this place on a FB group post and gave them a try. I really enjoy seafood and so glad I found this spot. I ordered the Branzino grilled fish with butter and herbs option entrée with rice and Greek salad. Hands down the dish was soooo delicious. Fish was made to perfection, delicate, flaky, simple in flavors yet overly delicious. I loved it. Lovely family owned restaurant. Maria was very welcoming with her husband and son. They certainly got my vote and got themselves a repeat customer. Highly recommend!! Support Small businesses.
The best fish and chips!
It was great but a little smaller portion than I expected
Good Friday tradition to pick up fish and chips for the family from Johns. Great taste and large portions.
Usually get the Halibut and Chips. Never disappoints!
The absolute best fish nchips place! We had the halibut which was freshly battered. Not the frozen squares. We also had the battered jumbo shrimps. Delicious!
Great customer service, was able to call in my order and it was ready at the time they said.
This is our fish n chips place - never been disappointed, whether dining in or takeout. Always great, friendly service no matter how busy (and you can tell their quality is well known by how busy they are on Good Friday). Can t wait to dine in and see them again once we re past the lockdown. In the meantime, their takeout has been great!
Best fish and chips in Etobicoke. Great portions, delicious and excellent customer service. You will not be disappointed! Well worth the drive!!
Might be the best halibut I have ever tasted, the batter was just perfect. The staff very friendly and a very clean place
Family service great salad, June update, breaded haddock was super fresh, flakey, and friggin awesome. Thanks team Johns!!! BTW, our server Julie was very courteous and very conciencious to all of our special needs!! A1
Awesome food, I enjoyed the fish and chips
