726 C Sydney Ave, Kamloops, BC V2B 3J2, Canada
Our open concept kitchens are supplied with only the freshest ingredients. At our Kamloops location, we make everything daily from scratch including mushy peas, coleslaw and c-food chowder (an old family recipe). We hand-cut all of our own fish and potatoes for chips. Every year a typical C-Lovers location goes through about 100,000 lbs of fish (Alaskan Halibut, Pacific Cod, East Coast Haddock) and 160,000 lbs of Kennebec potatoes.
You can't go wrong with the "All you can eat fish and chips". We have visited other locations in the lower mainland and hoped this location would be just as good, and of course it was! The fish is fresh and crispy, the fries are cut just the right size and if you're over the right age you can even get a beer with your meal, or bottomless pop if you prefer.
I came here to try this fish & chips place. I ordered the C-Lovers platter sampler (1 fish, 6 shrimp, fries, onion rings, and coleslaw) to go and the food and packaging was great. The batter they used aren't as thick or heavily breaded compared to others I have tried. It would make the platter 5X better if they replaced the onion rings with deep fried calamari or squid rings. The staff were also very nice. I would definitely come back here if you have the fish & chips craving!!
Excellent value with the All You Can Eat and great service! The staff are cheerful with big smiles which is a plus.
Both fish & chips was definitely garbage!! They made it with old and bad taste oil. Customer service wasn’t respectful.
C-Lovers Fish & Chips is in the North Shore, Kamloops. A big fan from the South Surrey location. My son noticed signage on a bus. My son ordered the All you can Eat dinner, and I ordered my favourite Salmon battered fish & Chips with fresh cole slaw and a glass of Pinot Grigio. Wonderful staff who were friendly, and attentive!
Went here to eat twice and loved it both times. The service has always been great and the staff are really nice and attentive. The fish and chips are also the best I have ever had and it's affordable for the all you can eat.
Would 100% recommend! They have the $20 all you can eat deal which is amazing!! The fish is super tender and juicy and the fries are great! The waitress was very nice too! Will come back for sure!
The food & drinks were great. The resturant was really clean & well looked after. Same for the bathroom. Prices were also very reasonable. Felt a bit judged by the staff by the staff for being a big guy getting the all you can eat fish n chips then they looked like they felt bad when I tipped well anyways. Overall a positive experience. I would reccomend. Lots of old people seem to like going there.
Very good food fair prices Parking: Perhaps 30 spots for minimall .But you can park across the road at the large mall Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accesable
Can be hit or miss. You take your chances here. Sometimes great sometimes awful. Last weeks order was totally pathetic: I ve never seen haddock so thin (like jerky) or batter so greasy and the oysters are the world s biggest rip off -tiny, soggy, unseasoned, bits of shell, and $5.50 apiece! The $48.99 Takeout Special is a fair deal if feeding many people just ask for more coleslaw cause they only give you enough for 3 people maximum. Fish pieces are more like fingers though and small and an average man can eat quite a few. Tartar sauce is yummy but you have to pay extra for it. Prawns are delicious with a KFC type batter. Service is usually pretty good. The last time I was in there though staff was much more interested in slapping each other with towels and laughing while cooking the fish etc than paying attention to me standing at the cash register wanting to pay. We live very close and once in a while it stinks to high heaven of old cooking oil. Parking: Do not park in any spaces marked reserved at condos next door. You will be towed.
Excellent service, food & drinks!! Michelle was our waitress and she was wonderful! She was quick to make suggestions and always came back to check on us. We will be back!
I had the cod and chips - came with a nice coleslaw as well. Very tasty , the fish tasted great.
Delicious fish in a great atmosphere, and at an excellent price - what more could one ask for?
I go here for my fish fix so to speak. This time wasnt up to their usual pace. The fish was a little oily this time.
Prices have gone up for all you can eat plus a pint. Watch as this place goes down hill now that Joey s is gone.
I dont usually do this but the food was god awful.... bland.. tasted like the oil hasnt been changed in months, fish had a weird texture. Took a couple bites and threw it out.
I had the all you can eat fish and chips meal. Great value for money, and an enjoyable meal. The fish and chips are okay, but not great. Its more of a quantity over quality experience. They do have halibut but it is much more expensive.
Its was good food and the service was quick and kind
Best place for seafood with either yourself, friends and/or family.
Food is delicious and fresh and the dining area is neat and clean. Best fish and chips I have ever eat in Canada and service are awesome!
EVERYTHING is overcooked. The Chips/Fries are especially bad. Ask for them to be under-fried. They are also not made from fresh cut potatoes like in the UK. They are clearly from the freezer. Which is ok. As long as that s what you are wanting. Let this be a warning. Recommend the Musheeeee Peas!!!
The waitresses dont like to give pop refills. And when you try to get their attention they get mad and then the service gets worse I finally went to the bathroom to get some water and they did not like that in front of other customers. They are just plain rude if you ask for anything else.
We usually go for cod but this time we decided to try the all you can eat. Its more affordable than cod and its just as delicious! Its not too greasy, and the batter is also light. My server laura was also fantastic! Shes polite and very efficient with the service. Even though it was busy, she was incredibly attentive, especially with refilling our drinks and bringing more fish. Not many restaurants now offer great food, service, and prices too. Well definitely return again!
I have eaten at C-Lovers a number of times, and its been good, but today was really disappointing. I ordered a salmon burger to go and the piece of salmon was what I would call, very small. It only covered about half of the bun, if that. I was hungry, needless to say it didnt fill me up. Other than that, the food is usually always very good.
Food was fresh and hot, service was great! Super friendly.
Great Fish
Little heavy on batter. Fries too dark.
Had the 2 piece haddock and chips and a pint of 1516 lager, everything was cooked to perfection and the service was fantastic. Would visit this location again
We had the all you can eat fish and chips. The fish was good. We did enjoyed it. We probably be back. The service was excellent. Food
Always Great! Staff are amazing
Always good dinner
T was an awesome lunch- everything is great Kid-friendliness: Awesome place for kids cause they can avail the all you can eat deal as well Food : 5/5 |
Great fish, very friendly staff
Food was good, had the lighter Appétit Halibut dish and is was plenty. Had friendly servers. Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, senior friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entry, accessible for wheelchair walkers...
Great place for fish and chips
Had dinner here today Apr 8 my friend n I. We ordered all you can eat n server only brought my friend one re fill on pop she didnt even ask how our meal was or ask if we wanted more fish or chips service was bad. Wont be going there for dinner any time soon bad service today
great fish and chips restaurant
Good meals and good service Parking: Lot of parking room Food : 5/5 |
Very good fish and chips (haddock), it was decent size and crispy. The fries and tartar sauce was great also.
C Lovers! Chips in town! As your sign says. But love the chips and fish here very delicious almost as if they re swimming back there in the kitchen! Fresh. Food
I ordered take out from here for the first time tonight. Took a bit longer than they told me on the phone, not a big deal. Food was good, portion was a little smaller than I thought it would be. To be over $20 with Coleslaw, kind of disappointed that the all you can eat is the same price. Looked to be about 50% more food for the same price as my take out order. Coleslaw is excellent, tartar sauce was good. Cod was moist, clean oil taste. Would have welcomed a lemon wedge. Will be getting this again next time I want some fish and chips.
Our second St. Patricks Day birthday meal. Had a great all you can eat fish & chips. Great atmosphere. Pleasant & efficient server. Thank you.
Best Fish and Chips I have had in Kamloops and could be the best in Canada. I have never had a bad meal here. The fish is fresh tasting with a light batter that is not overly greasy. The chips are fresh cut and always good. The coleslaw and mushy peas are also very good and recommended. The service is always friendly and prompt and the restaurant seems clean and well maintained.
It was a good place to meet friends to enjoy a meal. And visit.
A little snow with the initial drink and food ordering but overall good experience/food. Would recommend.
Good food . The fish and fries are pretty awesome. Service was OK. Lil scattered but OK. Atmosphere was OK too. Lil bit cramped but doable. Food
The meal was delicious! It was served hot, something you dont get much of. The servers were quick and friendly. And the restaurant was warm, not cold.
We tried their All You Can Eat Fish & Chips. They serve Pollock fish, and it didnt taste that great. Also, it was way too greasy for us. It was quite a disappointing experience and didnt live up to our expectations. We didnt like it and didnt order any extra fish.
Service was great and friendly! I am not a fish and chips person but what I ate was good. Everyone else liked the food. More then you can eat in a sitting. You wont go hungry there.
Excellent food!!!!!
Well what can I say. This place was the best. We drove twice a week from out of town for this. Till today, After an hour drive, we bought the family dinner, got home to find they are getting cheep. Coslaw was only half full, wow. We called and a rude lady what said she was the assistant manager, was very rude and abrupt. I asked her to pass me onto the cook who made our order, but instead we were passed to the manager. Looks like we will be looking for a new restaurant for fish.
Very fresh fish and delicious coleslaw. The stuff are friendly and helpful.
Fish was overcooked, seating was overcrowded, bumping each other was near impossible service was slow
As advertised excellent fish and chips well worth a visit if you find in. Take out is an absolute joke. Halibut and chips were ordered but you cant have cloe slaw unless you pay for it but find in comes with it no condiments with order such as tarter sauce or ketchup for chips or any napkins very disappointing wont use that area of service again.
Actually give a zero rating. Ordered for take out. On pickup told to get out as We dont want your type in here . And kept insulting me leaving. I dont know what type he was referring to. We are SENIORS.
Great place for fish & chips all you can eat. Lots of sitting space.Parking can sometimes be a problem at busy hours.
Fast and friendly and tasty too! Love coming here for the all you can eat!
Best fish in town,,no doubt
Well, lets just say Joeys has nothing on these guys. This is, in my opinion, the best fish & chips place in town. They wrap your to go orders just like they do at the fishermans warf. Their coleslaw alone has to be the best Ive ever had. Its always sooooo delicious! This place is always busy and speaks for itself. If you havent tried it and you like fish well, I suggest adding it to your bucket list. Youre welcome, enjoy! Ps- If you dont like it, dont blame me!
Very nice servers. Food good too.
Social Club appy night event. About 20 of us. Have eaten here several times in the past. Food has always been good. Ordered the Cod 1-piece dinner. Was disappointed in the cod as it was on the tough side and a couple of others who ordered Halibut dinner remarked that the fish was dry....maybe it was over cooked.....cooks were extra busy with all of our orders. Overall C Lovers is usually a good place to eat. Recommend it as it is popular. Kid-friendliness: No comments
Hot, fresh and amazing fish and chips. Service is great. The kitchen is AMAZINGLY CLEAN. Dont expect much for atmosphere just go there to eat. So good Food
Love the fish although the pieces have shrunk and the rise of prices is unfortunate, but still friendly good service
Great staff good food all was great
Ordered the Cod 6 pice family pack. Cant go wring. So good.
It is only pollock fish, that they serve all you can eat for $18.99 with french fries. So if you like pollock, this is a good place to go the prices for the all you can eat is very good if you have a family, but my opinion if you want to go out for fish and chips because you are really craving some good fish and chips, this is not the place for you. This is the place for you if you have a family to feed at a lower price. But With all that being said, their seafood chowder was very very good.
This is the best c lovers from here to North Vancouver
Food was awesome Prices have gone up but what else is new. They still give you big portions. Food
Great halibut and onion rings tonight! We really enjoyed the dinner.
Check your order before leaving with take out the special order claims 2 fish 3 fries I just picked up and was given 2 fish 1 fries good thing I added a serving of onion rings or I would be missing alot more food for the $69.73 I paid.
Fresh and fast better than the other fish place in town, I won t mention the name but you know who it is
The all-you-can-eat fish and chips with a beer is an amazing deal! Fish is so tasty. Nothing greasy. Fries are plain, very bland and need a dose of salt and vinegar to be palatable. The interior design has the kitchen completely open to the seating area which gives it a fast food kind of vibe, even tough its an establishment with table service. The kids menu is limited to a single item so theyd better like battered fish. Kid-friendliness: No traditional kids menu
The fish and chips are great! The service is wonderful! And the restaurant is open and clean and bright! A wonderful dining experience! Food : 5/5
I dont eat fish, I only have the chicken strips and they have always been amazing! My mother-in-law has had pretty much all their fish, prawn and oysters and has always loved them. The staff are always super friendly and the food is always great!
I dont know but the food there is like a 7/10. The fish tasted weird or maybe its my tastebuds.
Love their plater for 2 with halibut, shrimp, onion rings, and fries. So good In Newfoundland, we used to get fish and chips, and the fries were served with chicken dressing under the fries with gravey poured over it and sometimes peas and onions. We did take the last couple of times and they were fast.
Nice restaurant, excellent atmosphere. Great fish and chips
Larah best server Ive encountered in Kamloops. And the fish amazing! Coming back asap Food
I eat here once a month, every month. Have never had one bad experience. Fish is always perfect!!
Good fish and chips
We had a Cod Burger and Halibut and Chips (c/w very tasty coleslaw). We added onion rings and gravy. Excellent food - looks great, tastes great!
+ Decent food, decent amount and reasonable prices, quick and hot to the table. Very friendly and attentive waitress we had. - Atmosphere is more cafeteria style/ family restaurant I suppose. Not really a negative just an observation. Will go back again.
Best fish and chips in town. We love the ultimate platter for 2. Very generous portions and we always have left overs to take home.
Food was delicious, cooked fast, service was excellent and timely. The open concept of the restaurant was unique
This chain claims to be the best fish and chips around and I would say that at least the fish were the best around but the French fries were pretty standard fish and chip french fries. They didnt stand out and I left several on my plate. Otherwise, a fine establishment.
Love the ultimate platter,going again soon
Just the best in Service, food & atmosphere. Waitresses are very friendly as well as the cooks.
I have never had a bad experience at the Kamloops location. Food is great, personal is great.
Excellent job of cooking the fish and chips. Very fresh and crispy. Had all you can eat fish and chips. Came with 5 pieces of fish and before I finished the waitress asked if I wanted more!
Absolutely Delicious! The woman that waited on us was wonderful! Thank you!
Always a good meal and who doesn t love fish and chips? Right!
Good service. When I crave for fish and chips C Lovers is my go to restaurant.
Carfull. They and the tip on your bill when you have already tipped them.
The plates are very full servings! You get a lot to eat and friendly service as well.
Use to give 5 stars but portions have been reduced about 15 to 20%.
Chef needs to up their game. Had fish and chips, batter soaked up too much oil. Oil has had somewhat tangy aftertaste. Why they claim to be the best fish and chips in town is a mistery to me.
All you can eat fish n chips was good very filling. It was busy and staff handled exceptionally! Will go back want to try oysters.
Went in tonight at around 5ish and found seating but apparently the seats we chose were out of the little rectangle seen our waitress for ordering and getting the bill, not one time dis she come and check in with us but checked everyone around us. And then only when it came to our bill our food was brought to another table and despite being touched by the other table it was not remade.. the other waitress (who brought the food to a different table and allowed ppl to touch our food) rolled her eyes and gave attitude when we asked for the bill. We used to love coming here now I am not sure we will be back ever again.. because unless you want to be cramped into the rectangle... its clear they will ignore you.. and act like you are an inconvenience... and then, when you are clearly upset, at the end, and just want to leave... be trying to act sweet as pie.. nah I am good..
The food is always consistently good. The servers are super friendly and take time to chat with you.
great food, great service, great prices.always love going for lunch. my late father and i visited regularly
C lovers is a great place to eat fish and chips. I like it when you can pick your own spot to dine in. Very good service. Staff are also very nice. The restaurant is very clean. I would definitely recommend this place if you re craving fish and chips.
Amazing food
It was a nice place to have dinner. I enjoyed my meal, and I will come again
Good place to go for fish and chips friendly staff and good service.
Took my husband there surprise dinner it was great
Their take out special cant be beat. Excellent value, their fish is decent and their fries are pretty great. Having it all wrapped up in paper for takeout brings a touch of nostalgia. Their takeout special also has my daughter and I set for a few dinners and a couple lunches. Leftovers freeze up and reheat in the oven well. Its a favorite go to around here.
Great staff, decent food!
All staff are so friendly and accommodating. The food is always tasty and freshly made to order. Highly recommend for any brits wanting their fish and chip fix!
The chips and fish were well done though a little more spicing and salting would make them great. Less time waiting for order. It was all good.
Clean restaurant. Service was OK. Staff was friendly. Food was very good. Little pricey
always great food
Some of the best battered fish I have had in years.
Good eats very busy
Excellent food with affordable prices. My waitress Michelle gave great service. I would definitely go back!
Best fish and chips in town!
Obviously doesnt compare to fresh fish and chips in white rock or somewhere else coastal but definitely still good!
Great food and excellent service
consistently yummy
Love this place always get the special
Ordered cod and chips and shrimp and chips, told the guy last time we ordered it (when it first opened) we didnt get cod even though we ordered and paid for it. Got it this time and it isnt cod, called and he said he wrapped it himself and made sure it was cod but this dry tough whitefish that they say is cod is definitely not cod. They also dont give tartar sauce for takeout orders. Would not recommend eating here unless you like eating battered cardboard. Inedible, had to through it out.
Always great! Staff is friendly and attentive, food great we enjoyed the all you can eat fish & chips & oyster dinner. Nice & fresh
Fresh crispy delicious fish. Cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and food was delivered promptly to the table.
Came from out of town to visit family and we were too lazy to cook. Did the take out special and it did not disappoint l. It was busy as expected for a long weekend but it was worth the wait. It was as consistent as the Abbotsford location and we will be back
Hands down on of the best fish and chip places in kamloops. Love going there with the family for dinner
The food delicious. The waitress gave awesome service. She went beyond and was obviously a person who loved her job. Thankyou.
The salmon fish & chips given to us werent crispy at all. It is dry and bland.
Prompt, friendly, efficient service. The fish is battered properly no thick or soggy batter! Highly recommend if you enjoy fish n chips
Went to c lovers tonight. The service was fast and great.
Loved going here. place is spotless service was excellent and the fish and chips was awesome. Fish was beautifully done, will definitely come back.
Pretty good. Greasy like any deep fried food would be. Consistent and fresh cooked to order.
Was so good!
Best fish i have eaten in a long time. All you can eat every day. You just need to give it a try you will be extremely happy.
My son usually comes in to get our take out order. He always says how nice the people are that work there and it makes him happy to go in
Wheelchair accessibility: Both my parents are in wheelchairs.
Very friendly really good food and awesome service
Went for dinner. Everything was fine until one of the people in our party found a large wad of chewed chewing gum in their mouth which came from the coleslaw salad. The waitress was very apologetic but the manager refused to come see us. Thankfully the meal was covered but don t think we will be back.
Best fish and chips yet! Nice light batter and it wasnt greasy as I had been warned of and the service was excelkent. Ill be back someday!
The fish was delicious! Not over cooked, perfect!
The food are so good. Oyster dinner is worth a try
Batter was exceptionally thin and crispy Fries were good but need seasoning Salmon , haddock, and shrimp good. Mussels overcooked. Slaw was great
Went to lunch with a friend, they took our order fast and the food arrived just as quick it was nice to not have to sit around and wait forever.
Always good. Leave stuffed ever time. Ugghh
Awsome fish and chips all you can eat
Service was great, waitress was very friendly and caring about my 2 year old son. The food was delicious. The chips were golden and perfectly crunchy, could tell they have a clean deep fryer. The fish was amazing, it wasnt all batter like you get at some places. Will definitely return. Kid-friendliness: They provided a highchair, and a small plate of fries for my toddler at no charge.
Parking: No problem finding spot to park. Kid-friendliness: There were families there with children of various ages. Wheelchair accessibility: Not that we needed it bit it is easily accessed by a wheel chair.
Good food. Great price for all you can eat fish n chips.
Fish (cod) was kind of bland and a bit greasy. I was disappointed as we had heard it was good.
Food was delicious as usual recommended
Always great place to eat love the light batter so ya can taste the fish. Friendly staff. I will be back
Restaurant was very clean. Great, friendly service and our food was delicious. Also good prices for the amount of food you get
Always excellent service and the halibut is the best !!!
Best fish and chips in town by far. A nice, flakey batter, not too greasy and deep fried to golden crisp perfection. Of course accompanied with a lightly dressed coleslaw and dont forget a beer or two. We went here for my birthday dinner and it couldnt have been any better. I highly recommend c-lovers fish & chips, Im sure you wont be disappointed. And yes they are set up to do take-out orders as well. Dietary restrictions: Happy to try and accommodate any or all dietary restrictions. Parking: Lots of parking right out the door. Kid-friendliness: High chairs available. Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible.
Parking: 10 Food
Edit 2: I have been getting the fish done a little extra crispy and its perfect! Big thank you to the manager who went the extra mile to make us happy! The best in town now! Edit: For the third time we have dined here the fish batter is not right. I complained each time that theres yellow goopy spots but apparently that hasnt changed. This last and third time it was even worse. This is the last time we are going here. Nothing worse than weird goey yellow stuff in the nicely crispy coatings. Too bad as you can see from my previous review. Keeping 2 stars as the service and cleanliness is top notch. Great value for great food. I get the unlimited fish and chips cooked a little extra crispy. I love the colslaw here, great consistently with the cabbage shredded perfectly! Rarely eat more than the first plate. Very clean restaurant with all the covid measures in place. Staff wear masks and are very polite and friendly. I heard that the takeout is a great deal too!
Our weekly Fish and Chips fix. Best in Town.
Certain that this is the cleanest restaurant in town. Staff are friendly and warm, service is quick, food is always very fresh, generously portioned and piping hot. I think this may be the best franchise branch of a large chain restaurant I have ever been to. If you re wanting to go when it s not crowded, try going for dinner on a Sunday. If you don t like coleslaw order the smaller appetites menu, it s the same meal just without the coleslaw and it s a little cheaper. (Though their coleslaw is delicious if you re a coleslaw lover like me!). Amazed by how clean the backsplash behind the fryer is. I ve both cooked an eaten in 5 star restaurants that weren t that clean. Way to go team! Parking: Decently sized lot. Lots of options for parking.
The server went out of her way to check the kinds of tea, since Im a picky person, and that really made me feel like they cared whether or not I enjoyed my meal. seafood is expensive in general nowadays. if you eat here plan for that. and at the end there was a very brief mix up with the bill, which they immediately fixed for us when I mentioned it didnt quite look right.
My fiance and myself recently had our first experience with this restaurant. I had a large caesar salad. It was very good and large enough even for a big eater like myself. My fiance had fish (Cod) and chips which she enjoyed very much. The service was excellent. The staff are very friendly, polite and attentive. They make sure you are looked after while you are there. We were both really quite pleased with the service and the food. I would however like to discuss another point upon which the staff excelled. My fiance has a service dog. As we are about town together with the dog a lot, we encounter all manner of adversity from people who can see quite clearly that she is not blind. Often people make uneducated ASSUMPTIONS aboout this fact and come to the erroneous conclusion that he is a therapy dog, or just plain fake. The TRUTH of the matter is, her service dog is MORE critical to her than a seeing-eye dog is to many blind people. I have known a few blind people (also dated one years ago) They get around better with their dogs but, they are usually quite skilled at getting around with a cane as well. My fiance has a faulty vagus nerve which is located at the base of the brain and extends down into the body. It is responsible for regulating autonomous body functions like heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature as well as many other functions. Most people when they get scared, will experience increased heart rate and get a shot of adrenaline. Her Vagus nerve often gets things backward and for example, her heart rate may go down instead. Various other issues can occur during an episode as well. For example, if she gets too hot such as on a hot summer day, she can pass out. Sometimes when this happens, she also stops breathing. The service dog is able to smell changes in her blood that signal upcoming episodic events as much as 45 minutes in advance which can often mean avoiding the episode altogether. (He will often sit or lay on her to keep her still and calm.) Not all episodes are life threatening but, those do occur. Upon entry into the restaurant that day, we noticed odd looks from about 5 people. (We are quite accustomed to the public judging what they do not understand.) The staff however were VERY attentive, very polite and had no issues whatsoever with the dog. Moreover, they expressed their curiosity and we encouraged some questions. They came away understanding the situation more clearly simply by being friendly. Education is key to ALL things in ALL people at ALL times. Ignorance, leads to misunderstanding. (Often in an insulting way) My mention of all this is two fold. Firstly to praise the staff of C-Lovers for their outstanding service as well as their patient, understanding nature. Secondly, for all who read this, to be advised to please not pass judgement on what you dont understand. When you do, it makes you look worse than it makes us look. Judgement belongs to nobody but, mistakes belong to all who make them. Thank you for your patience if you have read this far. Thank you very much C-Lovers staff for your kindness and excellent service. - DJ Pantha (DifferNet Web Radio)
Best place for seafood off the coast
Gd food that came quickly, from friendly staff.
