412 Thickwood Blvd Unit 1, Fort McMurray, AB T9K 1P1, Canada
The Fish Place is an independently owned restaurant operating in Fort McMurray since 1994. We focus on Canadian foods, representing foods from coast to coast with a touch of international flair. Our specialty is Fish and Chips with homemade fries. Its Scrumptious and Fresh!
Not a bad spot. Next time I'd get the chunky potatoes over the patties.
Great breakfast. Best eggs Benedict in town. Fish and chips are really good.
I am Asian. I went to have food and received no welcome. The attitude of the staff was very bad. In contrast, white people next to me received a warm welcome. Fifteen minutes after ordering, I asked about my food, and her response was, “It has to cook, and you have to wait.” This was the response I received. No one even came to my table to ask how the food was or anything else. However, the server walked to the next table and spoke with them politely. Moreover, the food was horrible; it had a really disgusting taste. i won’t come again …
The food and service was amazing!! Had the breakfast poutine and it was sooooo good!!!
Little disappointed that the drinks arnt fountain but other then that. Great food. The crab legs were great and service was super friendly.
We have come here many times over the past 5 years and every single time it’s been awesome friendly service. Hands down the best and freshest fish in town too. This morning I decided to try their Eggs Benny with a side of fish cakes. Yummers! Our waitress (Elizabeth) was super friendly and fun. We just love it here. Thanks for being so awesome and of course, we will be back again. 😃🙏
One of the best place for me to go with family, friends and coworkers. Staffs are very friendly, knowledgeable and professionals. Price is reasonable. We had delicious crab stuffed mushrooms caps. Love it. Onion rings, seafood stir fry, juicy BBQ baby back ribs are delicious. Not much wait time. Highly recommend others to try this place.
When I go I get the lobster and crab. I'm from the east coast and at first I was so happy with this place. But the prices are crazy. The lobster is cooked with not enough salt. They didnt have garlic butter for the lobster
The food is always great here
Loved the food.
Great food and super friendly staff..
Everytime Ive ordered take out....its been excellent service and delicious. My favorite is theyre halibut and chips.
Eggs benedict so so. Hollandaise sauce was gluey. Potatoes were great
Love the fish and chips. Kid-friendliness: Kid menu Food : 5/5 |
Great eggs Benedict, love their cakes especially the carrot cake.
Absolutely love the lady that works here so friendly and made us feel so welcomed. Food is good I get the tiger shrimp and crab and haven t been disappointed at all shrimp is 10/10
Nice place great food !
Best place in town! Deadly feed.
Very friendly service and generous portions. The beer battered cod was excellent and super fresh.
Best breakfast in town !!!
Very fast friendly service. The fish and chips was delicious! Definitely will return!
Delicious. Service was awesome and we had take out due to covid and the food was delicious at the home.
One of my favourite places for fish and chips meal or breakfast. Feels like I m sitting to my grandmothers kitchen table when I dine here, the servers are attentive and very friendly. Give this place a go!
Wonderful service and food.
The nautical theme in the restaurant was pretty cool Dining in will score you some great service and great food Parking: I was able to park with a truck and trailer on a night where the restaurant was mostly full and I was one of the later arrivals. Kid-friendliness: Kids would love this place Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible
I enjoyed the breakfast here very much
Great breakfast in a place where you can hear yourself speak. Very friendly staff.
The meals are portioned great and the prices are reasonable. The service was quick and friendly.
Honestly the food here was horrible and we paid 125$ for it (2 people), Very overpriced for something that s frozen I had the fish and fries with gravy, the gravy was chunky and just warm it wasn t even hot food, I somehow got charged for extra cheese for getting shredded no idea why, and the batter on the fish was just horrible (strange taste) there was no taste at all to the fish itself, the wings were good but 16$ for 8 insane, the crab was watered down barely any meat and very sicken couldn t even finish it and it had black spots all over it which from my experience with crab they shouldn t have the black spots, the potato was honestly the best thing they have that i ve tried there, Very overrated for reviews when I read the reviews I was honestly shocked because i didn t have that same experience for the first time trying this extremely disappointing. But overall wouldn t eat here again.
Great experience for breakfast. Quality, variety, service. Definately will be back to check out the more of the menu.
Great food, good service, we got here a half hour before closing and they served us well. Thank you. We had the fish with poutine. Better than it sounds. It was good.
From out of town used to live in McMurray remember the Fish Place and how great it was when i lived here. Was told 6 months ago to try breakfast here and will say it did not disappoint. Portion sizes were huge, food was on point. Could of easily brought home half my meal but was so good I kept going til it was gone. Staff very friendly, quick and efficient. Thanks again when we are back in town will definitely be back. Keep up the great work.
Place is a little old but service was good and the fish and chips with homemade fries was just like I like it.
Cute hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, food good. Sauces not from scratch. Some seafood previously frozen. Not a foodie place, but probably a comfort food place for some. They serve Fat Unicorn beer in bottles, from a local brewery (Plamondon). Very fun and chewy Amber. Great with the Halibut & chips.
Awesome food, clean with great service
Ate fish and chips (cod) today it was awesome! Went with the crispy instead of batter and it was just what I was looking for. Almost like a thin batter. Fries could have been a little crisper but they were home fries so Ill just ask for the fries to be cooked more next time. Tarter sauce and colslaw seemed to be homemade. Would defently go back for this dish alone.
Great breakfast steak and eggs
Fish and chips was delicious
First time in this place and the service was so good and the food was even better. Definitely coming back. First nice restaurant experience in Fort McMurray
This place was beyond incredible, I would eat here everyday for the rest of my life I could. The food is all homemade and full of outstanding flavor. That first bite just makes you keep pushing yourself for more and more. LARGE portions I couldnt finish and it was so hard to even think of leaving a bite behind.
The best place in town. Staff our extremely friendly. It always feel like a big family. The portion of food its very big, you wont regret to visit this place
The fish is unbelievably good. Their eggs beni just yummy.
Great eggs and bennies for me and the bys
We have eaten here a few times now, brunch and lunch, the service is awesome, the food is excellent and has a decent portion size. I would recommend the eggs Benedict for breakfast, it is the best I ve ever had! The fish and chips is also of a similar quality, you won t be disappointed. We will be back for more. Thank you!! Parking: Parking is right at the front of the establishment, and appears to be large enough to facilitate the amount of patrons.
Local Hotspot for down eastern breakfast and meals. Prices are reasonable with the generous amounts you get with a meal. Real bacon, not the paper thin fast food slivers. Decor is very Atlantic lending to a down home feel. Can get very busy for breakfast on weekends, but great staff keep everything moving.
Just dined it today to celebrate my sons birthday. We love all the foods. It was delicious and excellent service. They are all friendly especially the guy who served us.
Delicious! fish and chips are Ryan is the best server, so friendly and accommodating.
Very good food. Staff is very nice. Great drinks. Just went back to try their breakfasts, it was delicious. I had fish cakes and eggs with back bacon and my girlfriend had eggs benedict and it was awesome. We will go back for sure. Food
The food was wonderful like always
I ate here 6 years ago, and wasnt keen on it. Ate there 2 weeks ago, and it was exquisite. I was very surprised and will be back!
It is always a great place to go
Very great seafood best in the city and service great
Great food, excellent fish! dine in or delivery always hits the spot. Battered fish n chips and pots of muscles are a must have.
Always the best service. The breakfast was so good!
The female server ( with a backwards fringe and frizzy updo ) is very nosy about peoples private lives.
Fish n chips is my favorite... Homemade fries.... Delicious staff is so friendly.
Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff. Will be back for more
Fish were perfect.
Fun place. Will go again
Best breakfast in Fort McMurray
Service was prompt. Selection was good. The packaging to take out was very efficient. However, we found the food very bland. Both the calamari and haddock were over cooked. Both had very little flavor. I was prompted to give a 15 to 27 percent tip on top of am already expensive meal for take out. Probably will not be back.
Amazing food but I had to wait for a while to get my food.
Amazing food but I had to wait for a while to get my food.
Very good fish and chips and plenty of it. Service was very pleasant. Value for money spent was great!!
Service was good. The food was not. We were the only ones there as it was late. Food tasted alright but couldnt enjoy it because after eating the crab stuffed mushrooms (they tasted fishy and old) Both my gf and I got extremely sick to our stomachs, spent nearly 12 hours unable to leave the bathroom. gf had to miss work. I contacted the restraunt manager and they havent gotten back to me. mistakes happen so Im hoping someone will contact me to sort this out and Id be willing to update this review.
Great food and good service but are highly priced for the size of the portions. Kid-friendliness: It is a family restaurant and atmosphere. Food : 4/5 |
Got the steak and eggs for breakfast. I asked for the steak to be med rare. Steak came out blue. Waitress didnt even seem to care and even heard them make remarks that I ordered rare when she took it to the back. Mistakes happen which is fine but you should have given my money back on the steak. Wont be coming back here.
Ye Olde Fish n Chip shop! Always good fish thar!
The food was good but please make homemade hamburger patties the burgers could be much better
Locals told me that this was a must dine in Fort McMurray. I was impressed. I had the seafood platter. I normally turn my nose up at crab cakes, but I tried them this time and found them to be extremely tasty. Thanks for the recommendations.
Good steak & eggs
Been here twice. First time it was pretty good, second time it was fired in the trash! Ordered halibut and chips. Fish was dry and old very fishy tasting. Couldn t eat it absolutely disgusted and will not be back for a 3rd time. Shame on you for serving old product.
5 star steak and eggs.
Best place for breakfast in Thickwood, cant beat it!
This is one of my absolute favourite places to go for breakfast, I love the eggs benedict but every now and then Ill switch it up and have fish cakes and eggs and you cant go wrong
The building outside doesnt look great but the fish and chips are amazing ! Its a bit of newfoundland eating in fort mcmurray! Food
Prior to the fire in 2016 this place was awesome. After the fire I ve been to the restaurant maybe 4 times and each time I left extremely disappointed. The staff is very nice but the quality of the food is horrible. Sad, because the place is capable of much better.
Steamed mussels that were over cold that had to be sent back. 10oz striploin med rare that was raw and cold in the middle took it home warmed it in the microwave. Everything was cold . Took friends there wont be going back
Great breakfast with great fish cakes. Service is fantastic! Prices are reasonable. Will definitely be going back!
Good seafood!
The best stuffed mushrooms in town
Great food amazing staff , menu is great. Cant say enough good thing about the place.
Good value and a real home town charm to the service and decor
Steak was juicy, butter shrimp was good too.. portions are huge. great staff. I would go back
Price isnt cheap, but quality was amazing. Highly recommend the crispy option for the fish.
Amazing staff
Best breakfast beans in town . Reasonable breakfast prices. The new poutine menu is a great addition to the menu .
Good breakfast good price friendly servers
Best eggs benny in Fort McMurray. Wonderful service and staff. Would recommend 10/10
the service and the fish was excellent, cant remember having any fish that was so fresh and cooked perfectly. when I was in Vancouver the fish was not that fresh or cooked that good.
Amazing food and super nice service. My boyfriend and I go for dates here a lot. Update: have been going here for a decade now and in the past couple years, weve been having monthly breakfasts there with coworkers. Always a good time!
Best fish in fort mack .hands down
Best fish in town
Amazing as usual, the best breakfast in town and try their breakfast poutine OMG simply unbelievable ,trust ne it works
We love the the fish at this place, we do not order the fries and extra but only want the fish and they refuse . The restaurant requires you to buy 1 or 2 piece and ask for extra fish . But food is great.
Breakfast was really good! Nice meal
Enjoyed the crab cakes and fish.
Great service and excellent breakfast
Amazing staff and great food! The interior could use a little update but it does have a charm to it.
Hate to be negative... but it was not good. The menu was over priced, and honestly, the only thing that tasted good was the bacon wrapped scallops, everything else was not very tasty. My kids kept saying Why did you bring us here? My son who loves shrimp wouldnt eat their shrimp, and I love clams and clam chowder and I spat back out the only clam bite I tried it was so bad, and ate the clam chowder, but would have been better off with a can from the grocery store.
Our favourite place for breakfast. The eggs Benedict is the BEST! We are always welcomed in and treated friendly. The owners have poured their heart into this place for 25+ years and it shows!
Excellent customer service and the Food was Great ....
Food is delicious and the service is excellent..
The food was terrible!
Food was fantastic. Service was wonderful. One of the best places for breakfast in town.
Food and service was great, had pan fried haddock and mashed potatoes the plate was full and the prices are great.If your looking for fish this the place.
One of the best places to dine in. Quality of food was good. Tasted great and the portion was big. Our team was very happy with the dinner.
I like this place. They are exactly what the sign says, and they know their business. The service is good, and friendly. The food came quickly, and I liked it. Prices were good too. I will be happy to make this a go-to and return soon.
The steak was amazing. Id go back here for sure.
Delish food ... friendly staff :)
Just some breakfast, eggs benedict was fast to come out
First time eating there in quite awhile. I was never impressed with anything from what I remember and that didnt change this time around either. The place looks outdated as it gets. This time we ordered, Calamari starter, I had fish and chips and the wife and son and the chicken finger dinner between them. The squid rings came out fairly quickly which was nice but they were very greasy and way too salty and I enjoy salt. Wife tries one and woudnt eat anymore.. The fish was ok. Not great but not bad. I could make better at home tho. The chicken fingers were horirbe and between the wife and I we came to the conclusion that they and to be old refried chicken fingers. And if it was it was just plain bad. The chicken didnt tear apart like normal chicken would. Literally had to rip it apart. The batter was hard and thick and tasted burnt. Was definitely not fresh in any sense. The French fries was actually pretty good. Left there and before we even got to the truck we both agreed that we would never go back there. With tip I spent around $90. Honestly, it wasnt worth 20 bucks tips included. I was wishing for much better as this was one of our first outings in a long time and was very disappointed. The whole experience at a restaurant was a let down.
Awesome food and service. It just keeps going with high quality. Just had lunch same great service as last time.
Gem of Fort McMurray. If you dont know how food could satisfy your soul try them!! You wont be disappointed. Their fish cake is a must try item.
We had a great meal staff was very friendly
I Escargot and they were cold and I asked for my fish to be pan fried not deep fried
Great breakfast. Cool atmosphere. Friendly service. Just wish the bacon was better. My boys love this place though!
Breakfast here is absolutely delicious. Either fish cakes or corned beef hash. You wont be disappointed
The Fish Place here in Fort McMurray. The food is very tasty and the service so very pleasant!
This will forever be my favorite place in fort mac. I love the food, love the staff always so welcoming and fun. I go here all the time cant recommend enough!
Friendly and fast service top notch halibut, I had both battery and crispy fried. You cant go wrong either way. Will be back
The staff was friendly and the food was delicious! Best breakfast poutine I ve ever had!
Very friendly kind staffs. Stars are for staffs
Had the scallops. Not bad. Pan fried would be a better seller in my opinion (as a Nova Scotian). The decor is a comforting reminder of home.
Hands down the best breakfast Ive ever had! And the friendliest servers in the Mac!
Amazing food and service definitely worth checking out, I recommend the crab melt for sure
Eggs Benedict was sub par, food comparable to Coras, coffee was horrible, when you have to pay $3.50 extra for toast, not worth going back. Not worth the over $30.00 paid for breakfast.
Its so good for seafood. Try to stop in every time I come up north.
Great place for breakfast, love it here.
Great good great service
Nice food
One of the best places to eat in Fort Mac! I ve tried most everything on the menu and all so very tasty. Must try place
A great evening experiencing crab legs for the first time!
A cute place to grab a bite to eat. Service is usually pretty good. Foods is alright. Ive never had a bad meal there. Overall is a nice local place.
Delicious every time!
Good food.
Disappointed!! Ordered takeout fish and chips. The fish was good. Fries were overdone and hard. Weve ordered this before with better results. Might not order again
Nice place
Good food great service thank you
Our team had ordered a crab boil and the lady kept bringing different items over a period of time. There were no plates, fork of knife just plain table cloth and items were dumped on the table directly. It started with chicken wings, potato wedges, cron, carrots, mussels, shrimps and carbs. It went on for ever. They even provided bibs.
5 of us went in for breakfast and I can not eat big meals. I asked to order a kids breakfast and was told I cannot order it. Told to order a Traditional breakfast and I said no as 3/4 of it would go in the garbage. Still was refused as to the amount of money we were spending at our table. VERY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER.
Excellent breakfast till 3pm. The ladies are very friendly.
Best eggs bennys and beans in town
Very welcoming and friendly place to go have a bite to eat!
Great breakfast spot
The jambalaya is really good, good service too.
The food was great
A club house is supposed to be a three layer toasted sandwich with chicken or turkey, ham and roast beef. I brought home a chicken burger smothered with cheese:( my husband was so upset. Your menu clearly says Chicken Club Sandwich. Maybe you should change the menu? I ordered pan seared scallops and fries. Your chef should know how to pansear something in butter, my scallops were dunked in flour and seared but when served the flour was falling off onto my plate:( I used to go here for the quiet atmosphere, a good chat and awesome food but I doubt I will ever spend a dime here again.
Lots on the menu. Live lobster. Very good
Kind curious and clean
A piece of the east coast, good food, good service, interesting decor..
Well Ive been in one of the civeo camps up here for awhile. If ya had camp food. You all know what Im talking about..... So decided to come to town on day off for a treat. Let me tell you that was the best beer battered halibut Ive had in ages... menu prices good. Poutine was great a tad to much gravy .... like John and Ya gotta eat here should be here its wonderful. Service was well with a smile.... Note before I hit the oil patch for work, Ive been a chef in many 5 star places . So when I mean this is good east coast food. I mean it..
Great place for breakfast.
Food was great the young sever girl was very bad. Reluctant to talk and provide information. Good place to go.
It is worth it to drive all the way from Edmonton to eat here... so darn good!!!
Great food
The Fish Plase was experience wont be forgotten that easy. Fish and chips are excellent, they introduced me to a Naughty Amber beer made by Fat Unicorn That beer blow my mind, I wanted to by couple of cases. I couldnt find anywhere even beer store that supplies that restaurant, no luck. On the way home almost 400 km, I stopped at brewery which is also a restaurant. No beer in the cases only 64 fl oz which is 1.8 liters $25.00 What do you think, did I buy it? Hell yeah, after all they I was looking for and some time a day before that. Good luck to find that beer
Very generous portions, friendly staff good value
Discriminatory practices, promotes segregation
Another place to avoid! Do not spend your hard earned money here they are perpetuating criminal activity the government continues to break laws to obtain.
Classic breakfast, not greasy and friendly service.
Service is a little hit n miss but its worth a go for the food!
Thank You Rosalyn, Excellent service tonite! We couldnt think of a better way to spend our Anniversary! Also thanks to the tues evening kitchen staff & Lisa for the friendly farewell as we left! Delicious food, Huge portions. Highly Recommended !
Very rude old women there dont know how to treat people
Very tasty sea food
Excellent customer service and food. Best steak in town for a fish place lol
We always love going to The Fish Place. This time there were too many people in the restaurant. Not sure if the servers were understaffed to handle the influx of customer but we had to wait a while to get served. The servers were very nice and apologized for late service. They did their best. Food was great as always.
