Sharon was an excellent server, the fish and chips were really good. The atmosphere was very unique and the story of the tea pots was enjoyable to hear. It just confirms the long history of great food and great service!

Some of the best fish and chips in the area. The spaghetti meat sauce was great too. And a delightful slice of home made coconut cream pie to end our birthday lunch! Must visit when in Huntsville

I have come to this restaurant for many years and I still enjoy it just the same as my first experience. The food is spectacular and it's a perfect sized portion for whatever you may order. I have ordered breakfast and fish and chips here many times. There are 3 fish options when ordering fish and chips that vary in price but are all very fairly priced. I usually go there earlier in the day and it always has great music playing but remains peaceful, and they are always coming around for the coffee refills, which is a recipe for a great morning. I appreciate the staff and the atmosphere at West Side Fish and Chips as they are friendly and are frequently tending to their guests. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody in the area. There are so many things to see and try at this restaurant and it really gives off a true muskoka experience.

Great Fish & Chips spot! Very homey Food quality was very demur! Portion-size was very generous! I usually don’t like coleslaw but this one HIT! (More on the vinegar side) Nice & cool, & had to end off the meal with some mud-slide pie to go! Amazing experience (also shoutouts to our waiter who can sing: NobleWolf63 check out the local talent!) would come again!

Awesome little restaurant on route to the Provincial parks. While they sell other dishes, they are known for their fish and chips. Pretty much the standard you'd find at a good fish and chips shop in England! We had the haddock and it was fresh, crispy and tasty. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Oh and don't forget to finish off the meal with a slice of one of their homemade pies (which are made every morning). The rhubarb and Strawberry pie was delicious!

I’ve eaten here once and have gotten takeout at least twice over the past 12 years. The service and food are both good, the fish and fries both taste fresh and good. (Fish is a bit more oily than some places FYI, but good) It’s a cute setup and the decor is interesting as well.

During my recent visit to this charming little eatery, I indulged in their fish ‘n’ chips and coleslaw, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of delightful. The fish was perfectly tender, encased in a crispy, golden batter that provided just the right amount of crunch. Complementing the fish was the coleslaw, which was an absolute standout – fresh, creamy, and bursting with flavor. It was, in a word, woww! Beyond the culinary delights, the ambiance of the place added to the overall charm. The decor was irresistibly cute, featuring an array of unique pots and spoons that gave the restaurant a whimsical, homey feel. The attention to detail in the decor made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Moreover, the restaurant’s location offered a lovely view, allowing diners to savor their meals while taking in the serene surroundings. It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy delicious food with a pleasant view. Overall, this eatery is a gem, offering not just great food but also a delightful atmosphere that makes for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!

Such a cute little spot - friendly and delicious! Their fish and tartar sauce is excellent, as was their coconut cream pie. Food came quickly and our server was super nice about a last minute change we had to make to our order. The restaurant itself has pretty cute decor as well - so many teapots! We made a reservation via email in advance too and they had a spot for us at the back near the windows ready to go :) overall a great experience!

Asian-racism is found here. If you are non-white, consider TWICE when coming here.

November 22, 2024

I went here on Nov 2nd, and it was an AWFULLY TERRIBLE experience. I went with a group of friends consisting of 20 people, when we came in, we did not expect they would have enough table and the white cashier named LYNN M who we asked for tables. She was clearly annoyed and irritated and said We do not have enough tables and you should have made a reservation, even though when we asked very KINDLY. We were fine with that and started ordering food, it was even more AWFUL when ordering. While ordering, sometimes, she said something and we didnt catch we asked to repeat and she was VERY UPSET and not willing to repeat, we nicely asked her to explain some food and she exhaled and didnt want to answer, actually she was not willing to ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS (EXCUSE ME??? WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THIS). She was plain MEAN AND SUPER ANNOYED throughout the whole time, even not willing to serve us. We had to eat outside on the patio because not enough tables. I had to use the washroom so I came inside to ask for the washroom, a staff pointed out for me, it was next to the dining area so i walked through the dining area and GUESS WHAT there was a bunch of tables not taken by ANYONE, which apparently shows that the cashier LYNN M didnt want to serve us. (The cashier and dining area were separated by a wall so we couldnt see the dining area) There was a paper in the restaurant saying that IF THE CUSTOMER WAS MEAN AND RUDE THEY WOULD BE CHARGED 10 BUCKS. LOLLLLLL They still have AUDACITY to say that? SHE was the one who being DISCRIMINATING, DISRESPECTFUL, IMPOLITE, IRRITATED, RUDE AND MEAN. SHE was discriminating because after we finished ordering, she treated other white customers nicely. In summary, THE CASHIER LYNN M WAS RACIST AND DISCRIMINATED due to the fact that we are a group of Asian and got treated SUPER poorly. She said there were not enough tables (There were a lot of them unoccupied), didnt offer us any tables, not willing to answer questions, mean and irritated the whole time, gave us weird look, she kept exhaling when taking orders. NOT RECOMMENDING THIS FREAKING IMPOLITE, DISCRIMINATING RESTAURANT

Racist attitudes!! The food was good and loved the decore and was having so much fun with my 10 persons big friends and family group. Each of us ordered separate plates of combo dishes - almost 200$ + bill was paid. I just asked for only one refill for my glass or coke, then the server told me so so rudely that I can not share my drinks - she saw I shared it with my husband. Then she stomped the refilled glass in front of me so rudely! I was not sharing my one glass drink with everyone! My 2 kids literally had only 2 sips from my glass and my hubby had some more sips. Well you could have just told me nicely that it s one glass per one person and no sharing! In one chance the server was so loud and so rude saying that it s one glass for one person. Who knew that this is soooooo restricted! Well okay - we are brown ppl and I wear hijab - we got it that u r racist. RACIST. You could have tell me nicely. My hubby paid the 2nd glass of drinks bill after this bad bad attitude. If we can pay 200$ for my food then I can pay 2/3$ also for my another drink. Nothing was good after this behaviour. No no I did not share my drink with 10 ppl don t picture it in wrong way. I know I can t share my one glass with 10 ppl and then ask for refill.

Westside Fish and Chips is a hidden gem, offering some of the best fish and chips Ive ever had! This family-run restaurant has rightfully earned TripAdvisors Travelers Choice Award for both 2021 and 2022, and its easy to see why. The fish is perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, and paired with golden, crunchy fries that complement the meal beautifully. Their coleslaw is a refreshing side crisp, creamy, and the perfect balance of flavors to round out the dish. The friendly atmosphere and exceptional service from the family make it a must-visit spot for anyone craving a classic fish and chips experience. Highly recommended!

Terrible food,no atmosphere ,its gone downhill since we used to love this placefor food and value.My Daughter.Son in law and 2 Granddaughters and I came here for a Saturday evening meal at 5 pm The restaurant was almost emtpy ,and after our terrible food I understand the reason .There was one couple in the large room at the side and a few others in main room.I was surprised because it was a long weekend .And we had been here 2 years ago when the place never had an empty seat . The girls ordered pasta which was fine .A simple dish My Daughter ordered perogi ,my Son in law and myself ordered the Haddock ,fries amd coleslaw. Her perogi had nothing inside one of them .The other 4 very small ,hard as arock deep fried had very little filling and she could not cut it in half. These were store bought boxed perogis but even then they could and should have been cooked in butter in a fry pan ,not deep fried in oil the fish were fried in. Her fries were of small quantity and hard . My fish had very hard batter that had been deep fried before and provably left over and put in deep fry to warm up . Same with my Son in law s I would have complained but then we just wanted to leave this uncomfortable experience and not stay for a second try at our dinners It is a stark atmosphere and if only 2 other people in dining room there is no privacy or sound dampering wall hangings or booths . Its like sitting in a big kitchen in a persons house but only tea pots on rack around ceiling that is very old and after seeing it for 5 minutes theres nothing to ponder I was very reluctant to pay the $90.00 for what we had and went back to our cottage hungry and making snacks for everyone I would not recommend this place . Too bad because it used to be our favourite restaurant in Huntsville

Enjoyed lunch here today for the first time while traveling with my family. A cheerful and eclectic restaurant, cozy atmosphere. We enjoyed the vast collection of teapots adorning the display shelves. Friendly and quick service. We all enjoyed sharing the family value meal which came with 6 pieces of fish cooked with a light and crispy batter, home cut fries and gravy, and tasty creamy coleslaw. We finished our meal with 3 of their homemade desserts which included a delicious hot brownie with ice cream which I shared with my daughter. Would definitely welcome this restaurant for their fish and chips at reasonable prices and friendly service.

Stopped in for lunch with my family after a drive up from Guelph. We were greeted and seated right away, amongst the cozy, eclectic decor. There were 5 of us, and we made a good call ordering the family style fish and chip meal. It was some of the best fried fish in recent memory, flaky and fresh with a light and perfectly crispy batter. Accompanied by a good helping of fries, coleslaw and gravy - we were well satisfied. I also went for a small bowl of the fish chowder, which really hit the spot. Despite being somewhat full, we opted for dessert. Im glad we did, as the Brownie Bliss, grapefruit pie and apple crisp did not disappoint. An all around scrumptious meal, enhanced by excellence service. Worth the stop! Parking: Plenty of spots behind the restaurant. Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, welcoming staff.

Terrible take out. The fish and chips I got for takeout was nothing like real British fish and chips at all, at least none I have ever had. The Haddock was tiny about 2x3 inches and rather flat with far too much chewy overcooked batter and little fish. The chips were old and tasted odd and the 3/4 pound shrimp were so tiny, tasteless and all batter all this with No lemon, no tartar sauce and no coleslaw for $ 19.95. A complete and utter waste of time. Awful.

Food was above average. It would have been a good experience except when we asked for a glass of water for the 4 people in our table, the waiter responded to us by saying Didnt I ask a couple of times already if you wanted water?? How many do you need?? This was spoken in a very condescending manner and we didnt feel any ounce of customer service at all. And take note, this was the first time we asked for water. I hope they improve their tone of voice and manner of answering. Really disappointed and wouldnt be recommending this to resto to people we know.

We ordered dinner for three. Three halibut fish, three orders of.chips, a 4 oz. and 8 oz coleslaw. What we received was disgusting. Three small pieces of fish and not enough for two never mind three as we requested. One small box of fries quite obviously not enough for three. Coleslaw was one 8 oz and was horrible, mushy, soggy more like oatmeal. The only reason we went to this place was the Halibut House is closed on Wednesday. Our bill was $48 and I will definitely be telling as many people as I can to stay away from this establishment. We did contact the restaurant upon opening our meal at home and there response was...well halibut is expensive you know!! They also told us to write a review. .. well here it is. Thank God Huntsville has the Halibut House!

All around great. For the first time in maybe forever the fish and chips were so good I used no tarter sauce, vinegar or ketchup, just ate and enjoyed oh natural. Stories about the tea pots and the ceiling tiles just made the whole experience even better. Thanks to all that work there. Secret Santa

I opted for a breakfast while the wife and kids chose the haddock dinners, second picture is of a kids mini fish and chips dinner... everything was top notch.

It was very sunny the day we visited so we wanted to sit on the patio. The staff or owner (who was an old lady) said that s alright but no one would serve us on the patio and we d have to come to the counter for picking up the food, with a bad attitude. We agreed, ordered some drinks and snacks and paid with 10% of tips because she mentioned, we d receive no services. After eating we went to the washroom and heard her complaining to one of the customers sitting indoor, saying see that they came to use our washroom . We were really upset and wonder where s her bad attitude from? It s our first time visiting this restaurant and we kept the table very clean after eating. Was it because we re a group of Asians? Or was it because customers sitting on the patio are not allowed to use the washroom? The food was generally ok but I will not come back for sure.

Visited on August 16, 2024. This used to be the go to place for fish n chips but things have changed. Portions are very small and thin and the french fries are frozen with the crispy coating...gross. Id suggest taking the Fish n Chips out of the name because that clearly isnt their specialty anymore. Wait staff are great and so is dessert...which you will have lots of room for. Ill continue my search for Fish n Chips, in Muskoka, that rival Jeff Purveys in Peterborough.

There s SO MANY cute little trinkets and details around. You can tell this place has been well loved with the amount of care put into it. I loved the crispiness of the batter on the haddock. It wasn t too oily or overly battered so you could enjoy the subtler flavour of the fish. The batter also had a good amount of salt with it. The fries also had a great fry on them! It had the perfect amount of mushiness to them as well. The coleslaw had great creaminess and flavour to it - the seasoning wasn t super overwhelming so you can also enjoy the natural flavours of the vegetables. The shrimp with the little cocktail sauce was SOOOOO good as well.

Some of the very best halibut & chips we have eaten in many years! Batter is thin & crispy, not thick/greasy/chewy as so many places insist on doing it these days. Of course, halibut isnt the cheapest option (West Side offers haddock and even whitefish as well), but when its this good its worth every penny! Great food, excellent service...very highly recommended.

We ordered take out on Good Friday. We ordered the family meal as there was 4 adults and 2 children. We were surprised when we opened up our order the fry box was only a little more than half full. Tiny pieces of fish. I called after we finished eating to ask about the order and first of all the lady I spoke to on the phone was kind of rude and I did hear in the background a comment about calling 45 mins after I picked up my order. Also telling me a couple of times there was no order for me as well. Order was for 5:30 and waited an extra 15 minutes but was fine with that as it s a busy day. Unfortunately we are 15 minutes out of town plus we had hungry children so that s why I didn t call right away. Food was good. I understand it s a very busy day for them.

Don t judge me but I started a carnivore diet as it is the only one that actually helps me, all this to say that eating at a restaurant is often difficult but I asked that my fish be cooked with butter and salt and that s it. The result was probably the best fish I ever had. Cooked to perfection. It was so delicious I will probably have it again while I m here in Huntsville.

Had what was listed as halibut. Not great. Batter heavier than usual and fish thin and wet. So not usual. So disappointed. Two of us, both sad. Went back taking a chance and presently surprised. Back up to usual quality we had come to expect! Shows how easy reps can be ruined. So glad chef and supplier problems solved. Fish and chips this time were excellent! Keep up the good job!

We ve eaten at Westside many times over the years and have always enjoyed our meals. However, our visit on May 10th was disappointing. My wife ordered 2 pieces of halibut and I ordered a halibut sandwich. When our food arrived my wife s order had one average piece of fish and one piece about the size of a toonie (not exaggerating). She said, I ordered 2 pieces. The waiter said yep . We both asked if the second tiny piece was meant to be her second piece he again said yes . He then said he would get a second piece but would only charge us for one piece. The cook brought the second piece out himself and apologized for the mix up. The bill arrived. We were charged for the second piece. We did not ask for it to be removed. He offered. He did not remove the charge. My halibut sandwich was $15 with no fries and was the size of a filet-o-fish at McDonald s. The bill came to $55 for 2 pieces of average sized fish and a small sandwich. (We also had a pop and an order of bread & butter) When we got to the cash we were asked how our meal was. My wife said awful . The response from the cashier (owner?) . I find that hard to believe, we are very highly rated on all the websites . Poor service can happen, we get it. Your indifference cost you a loyal customer.

I have only given 1 other bad review ever and I hate to do it, but my family experienced the rudest welcome here while visiting the area. We were excited to try this place out after reading the reviews. We walked in and the gentleman told us to go on in and pick out a table. He then came out and told us to wait, he needed to get a table. While standing there, a lady came out and asked if we had been helped and I told her we were waiting for a table to be set up. She immediately became very rude and said over and over we don t have a table for 5 people. We were willing to wait and just couldn t understand why she was being so rude. We were all in shock and decided to eat somewhere else. Glad we did because we ended up having a lovely lunch down the street.

I ordered the 2 peice halibut with fries and coleslaw. Also ordered a side of mushy peas. The fish was good. Cooked perfectly with a nice crunchy batter. Not soggy. The portion of fries was pretty small, coleslaw wasnt bad. Mushy peas were very bland. Once I added salt and pepper, it helped a bit. Strawberry and rhubarb pie was good. Pretty dated inside, needs a good face-lift.

It was 4 years ago that I stumbled upon this hidden gem that serves some truly delightful fish and chips. From the moment I walked into the place, I knew it would be something special. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, creating the perfect atmosphere for my new beau and I (were still together, hes a local and insisted we go). The fish was perfection crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Each bite left me smiling from ear to ear. And the chips? Oh, they were heavenly golden and seasoned just right. What impressed me the most was the evident attention to detail and the use of quality ingredients. It truly reflected in the overall taste and experience. The portion size was generous, leaving me fully satisfied without feeling too stuffed. I really do need to get up there again soon. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. Their passion for the food they served was palpable and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. If youre a fan of fish and chips, I highly recommend giving it a try you wont be disappointed! Happy dining, fellow foodies!

We live 4 hours from this restaurant and stopped in for supper. We had 1 of our 4 kids and he LOVES fish and chips. We ordered the full meal deal and it came super fast. The food was amazing. I got talking to the workers after dinner and explained we were a long ways from home and would definitely be back when in the area next time. They were worried that their prices were high but I told them if they had a shop in the Kingston area, they would definitely be the place everyone would want to go and their prices would beat all of the restaurants around there. The service was excellent and made you feel like part of the family. Definitely a place you need to stop! Kid-friendliness: We had our 5 yr old son with us and he loved the ceiling tiles that were painted different cartoons characters. They had a shelf with games that kids could play as well and it helped keep him occupied during the wait.
