After sitting for over 20 minutes another family came in and their order was taken immediately and no one had come to take our order. We had to ask them if they didn’t see us. At that point my husband was ready to leave but I said let’s give them a chance. We stayed but it was just okay.
Disappointed, fish was like rubber and I saw no effort went into the salad I ordered. Definitely a waste of $20.00.
I gave it 1 star for the main reason that the halibut fish and chip portions were brutal. I bought 3 orders and we all wondered if they put all 3 orders in the bag because it was so light. If they’re going to be stingy with the halibut size which was very small, then, at least make up for it with more fries. Other fish and chip places fill the box containers to the point the elastic bands have to keep the lid closed, but, with this restaurant, they barely needed the elastic band because the lid closed with no problem. I will not be going back and recommend others see how far their dollar stretches at other fish and chip places!
We got the 6 piece fish and chips and definitely will return when passing through Lindsay Ontario.
I went here because I heard they had a really delicious burger But they told us they don't have And we ordered fish and chips I read the reviews about fish and chips before So I saw many people were happy about it But I had better fish and chips somewhere else. So their fish and chips couldn't beat my favorite one. But it was good.
Just payed over $80 and got 8 “half pieces” of halibut . I have eaten at this location as well as plenty others before and have never received fish so small. These lots really fit in my palm…. When I went to complain about the sizes I was told that their was a “halibut shortage and prices are up and this is how they are being shipped” Even if I didnt think that was a complete Fib of a story it STILL Would have been good to know that before taking my money. so to anyone reading this post DO NOT EAT AT THIS LOCATION UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR HALF PORTIONS OF HALIBUT.
My wife and I stopped in this afternoon for a quick bite to eat before heading back on the road. The restaurant was clean with plenty of places to sit and when it came time to order we were served within a few minutes of sitting down. We both ordered the fish and chips (2 piece meal) which was excellent and served hot and was delicious. This is one of our favorite places to stop in whenever we can get a chance to while visiting family nearby. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to feed their fish and chips cravings. Thank you for the quick service and Merry Christmas to you all!
I/we love getting fish and chips here, pretty reasonable price wise, clean and friendly! However my only complaint is the $1.75 small Coleslaw is a lil over priced for something so small
Best halibut around.
Parking: My favorite spot to go for Fish and Chips. Great service. Food
Love the clams
Need some upgrade in layout of the restaurant. Nothing to rave about food .
vicky is the best.
The waitress was so rude we walked out. We went up to the Halibut House they were very good.
Horrendous service Lady at the front especially Food
Terrible food, terrible service. Meal was awful didn t eat any of it and they still charged me full price
The best Halibut fish and chips in Lindsay!
The server was very rude and unfriendly service wasn t very good and the food was horrible and the prices unreal I won t be back I give a rating of 2 it s gone completely downhill since opening.
Always have the least greasy fish batter good prices and great service.
Very disappointed with the meal tonight. It took over 35 minutes to get our food. They skimped on the French fries.
Demoted to Private George. Over 30 mins wait for food yet folks arriving after us had food within 5 to 10 mins. I wont be going back. Food
The woman who works the cash is rude, never again. Rip off portions, half box of fries.
the food sucks! small portions, we ordered large fries and it was in the same size box they put one piece of fish in. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. and the lady that helped me was just plain rude and looked like she hated her life.
A bright clean dining area if you re staying, but the main attraction is behind the counter at the fryer. Classic thick cut chips are served up golden to medium brown, hot and fluffy inside. The halibut portions were generous, fried in a crispy, light golden batter. The cook makes sure the fish pieces stand on end to drain before packaging them up on top of the fries. Complimented by a yummy creamy coleslaw. Easily comparable to Olde York F&C in Leaside/Toronto. Well done!
Fantastic, every time!
Very disappointed with dining in. Probably best in they stick to Take Out only. Visited at dinner time, 5:30 pm. Atmosphere was uninviting as only one half of the restaurant was available for seating. A chair and sign at the entrance stopped customers from sitting at the front near the windows. The fish was ok but mostly batter and the salad was a disappointment, mostly lettuce, best to keep it off the menu. We asked for coffee and was told sorry we do not have a pot on. Obviously not wanting to put too much effort into wanting to give good service. The ladies bathroom was cleanish and had hand soap and towels but most of the tiles were falling off with several holes in the walls. It really needs work and gives you a yucky feel to what is suppose to be a nice evening out. Luckily Lindsay has many nicer other options for a meal out. I will not be returning.
The woman that works here is ignorant. Not sure how they are still in business. Go anywhere but here
The women that served us no smile .fish halibut was good french fries were terrible. guy who was cooking he was friendly he served us when takeout was handed to us
Food great and well presented pricey and the dining area was icey cold. Will probably look around.
Getting pricey, but I do understand Halibut is getting very expensive.
Have to say was very generous great fish the gravy is good the fries were okay I was very happy with portions of fish and was cooked great thanks for making our bday dinner very good the staff are great . The man cooking the fish was friendly and the resteraunt clean thanks again
A great lunch special. Delicious. And great service.
Love this place
Great fish n chips ordered takeout and ready when I arrived.
Great meal but the waitress needs to be a little more friendly,even just a smile would go a long way.
Great F n C but fantastic cole slaw! Is it home made?
Very pleasant staff was made to feel very comfortable Amazing food big portions
They managed to disappoint us this evening. We called ahead by 40 minutes to order our meal. They indicated that it would be ready at 6:15. 6:15 came and went for us and for another patron. But a regular came in ordered and was out of there in 10 minutes. Our name was finally called after he paid. The other patron was still waiting for her 6:15 order at approximately 6:30. We love the fish and chips and will visit again, but tonights service was very disappointing.
Although not a fancy restaurant, Captain George Lindsay has great food. I often get the battered shrimp and they are huge! We find the prices are competitive, albeit as a whole, seafood has become expensive no matter where you go. I find that compared to the other seafood places in our area, Captain George has the edge on taste, portions and price, but thats my opinion. I think that the only place close to us that has as food as good as Captain George is perhaps Just For The Halibut in Bobcaygeon.
If you read any of my reviews youll see that I only write good reviews and not the bad ones..until now. My family and I have eaten here many times over the years. Overall, the food has been been consistently good and when weve had a craving for fish and chips this has been our go-to place. Unfortunately the prices have become ridiculously high for fish which has certainly slowed our trips. . The food was, as always good. Now maybe Im wrong but im sure that the portion sizes of fish have shrunk way down in size. If you raise the cost of meals by over 30 percent then maybe the portion sizes should stay the same. All the same, this wouldnt be cause to get me too upset. It would just make our visits less frequent. We paid (taxes in) $137 for dinner and they added an additional 25 cents to the price for a take out container for our coleslaw. Seriously folks its not the quarter but if Im spending that kind of money Im sure the 25 cents wont break the bank. To me its being chincy. Now comes the service ..and the reason for my bad review. The service we received was absolutely atrocious. Now I consider myself a decent judge of character and tend to let things go when I receive less than adequate service. One of those maybe theyre having the worst day ever but I dont think today was that day. Today it came off like this is the way she is and if I dont like it ...oh well, too bad.. as she sucks her teeth (tsk) when we asked for more tartar sauce and a slice of lemon as they only gave us one slice of lemon and one tartar sauce for a 10 piece family dinner. She may have well said what do you want now? Because thats absolutely the feeling we got when we went there today. We kept looking at each other in disbelief of the service...or lack of and what seemed to us to be the worst service ever. Ive given it a 2 star because the food was still decent. So, in the end, if its up to me, we wont be returning and you wont receive another dime from me.
Sign states open until 8:00 pm. We walked in at 7:01 pm and got a lady yell at us while we were walking in the door that its take out only. I guess she didnt want to wash dishes or a table. Poor customer service.
Love this place. Owners and food are awesome
We stopped in for dinner prior to going to a show. The food itself was excellent but to be honest we both thought the portions were small. I also had ordered a salad to go with my fish on a bun and fries but apparently there was a misunderstanding because I didnt get my fries (I didnt say anything, we were on a schedule and we werent charged for them so I left it alone). I think they need more staff, servers in particular. It was the height of the dinner hour and there was one poor lady trying to look after everyone. Her attitude was a bit brusque but after finding out shed been there since the opened and was going to be there until closing I completely understood why she wasnt the friendliest. She did manage a few smiles and a bit of conversation as we were getting ready to leave. The 4 stars I gave are not reflective of this hard working lady in any way, shape or form. Id go back and give it another try.
Ignorant lady that works there yelled at us in front of our children. Will never be going there again.
The pickup for lunch was fast. $1 for 4 lemon slices was insane (25cents each). Unfortunately when i arrived to surprise my grandpa with lunch we realized the fish batter was woefully under fried. It was entirely Mushy and pale. Im assuming that must have been a mistake but for the $70 for 2 meals it was upsetting.
Great food. Fast friendly service.
Placed a call to order dinner for my family, and the person on the other end of the call was quit rude. I asked how much fish and chips were and they did tell me the two options of fish and how many pieces but it only came with one order of fries so I asked if they have a family pack and they do not so I asked what would you suggest to feed a family of four and the response I received was try McDonalds and then huge up on me. I hope their food is better then their phone edict.
HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! I was just asking what would be the cheapest option for a family of 4 to eat she said MCDONALDS and then hung up Do not eat here unless you want to be disrespected for asking a simple question. Lady has made snobby comments to me in the past but this has gone too far.
Terrible staff
Fish is good dont get me wrong. It still needed at least another 2 mins in the fryer to be perfect. Fries are trash. all different sized peices and all different cooks on them. Some still raw and some more crispy than the fish. All and all its decent better than halibut house. But has gone down hill big time.
Have ordered take out twice now since moving to Lindsay at the end of May. Both times I have ordered Haddock and Chips and it has been consistently amazing. They hand batter the fish for each order, which ensures your food hasnt been sitting and reheated. Their chips/fries are cooked just crispy enough but arent hard, and their gravy is so yummy. Will definitely continue to get our fish fix from Captain George! Parking: Lots of parking available
I go here because the foods great but I went on Friday July 29 2022. I didnt get enough to eat small fish and very few fries compared to the last time. Its almost like we got a change of management and the new guys are cheap get back to the big fish and lots of fries please great place but I was disappointed
Best fish & chips in town and the staff and owner are top notch!!
Great fish and chips, but charged prices that did not include the combos which we ordered. Two halibut & fish and a single halibut came to $48. Also server was not pleasant
Excellent fish and chip place. Too bad its only in Eastern Ontario. Worth the drive. Recommended.
Always good food and services.keep up the good work, we always do takeout. We call ahead, makes it easy that way.
Vicki is always friendly and knows what the customer needs.
Had the 2 fish and 1 chip which was plenty for my mom and myself. Had to do take out as eating in isnt possible at this time. Very present staff and good pricing
Placed my order on good Friday and it was ready on time and hot. Very yummy. Fish is cooked nice and light and golden. Not complaints!!!
Great fish and good portions, fries were great while hot. Food was also ready nice and quick.
So fresh and tasty
Great deal on the luncheon special of halibut and chips. Great taste, good price and helpful, friendly staff.
Best fast food in lindsay. I go out of my way for capt Georges evertime Im in the area... Not once have I been disappointed....
Best Fish and Chips in Lindsay
Best fish I have ever had. Try to go there every other week. Hostess is very friendly.
Always good fish
We live in Toronto and bring my father in law here once a month in the winter 2 or 3 times in the summer. We drove out today and we asked for an extra sliced lime and she said no.price of lemons have gone up..So has gas yet we drive out here because we are loyal customers..guess what never again.It would have been more lucrative for you to give the extra slice of lemon..Add up what youve lost with us.mostly three of us..but we also come with a family of 4...so disappointed
Food is good, and service is fine. I know of better fish n chip restaurants, but like this one.
There is not much to say, other than you, I enjoy every everything I have ever ordered.
Best ever. Clean, friendly staff, good value.
Good halibut
The staff is always friendly, the food great and the prices are reasonable
Quick service and the amount of halibut you get is unbelievable. Of course Delicious
I had the haddock and fries and really enjoyed it. The fish was flaky and the breading light, though I docked a star because the breading was greasier than other fish places Ive visited. The fries were the classic thick cut, fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside; delicious.

Excellent food. Fast, friendly service
Love it. Here usually once a week. Staff are super friendly and prices are very reasonable. Ive had fish and chips other places but this one is the most consistent.
I had 2 piece halibut and fries. It was pretty good . I enjoyed the fish...my only complaint is that the fries tasted like that were cooked in old oil. They did not taste fresh at all...The fish was very good though. Service was very good....prices reasonable. I will probably go back again one day and try it again.
Awesome
Delicious foods great service warm welcome when you are there friendly service period.

Best fish in town
Good food
Great food, nice staff, and reasonable prices
Excellent service....friendly and clean.
Don t say you re open up till 8 if you re not going to take orders 20 minutes before.
Best fish and chips around, as well as the best Captain George location! Great place to sit down and eat or to order takeout. Staff is always very helpful and friendly. Fish is lightly battered, chips are homemade and cooked perfectly, fresh homemade coleslaw. Great price for the size of portions you get. The only downfall is sometimes it can be very difficult to find a parking spot, but its worth it. Highly recommended!!
Service is great the fish was over cooked
Always a good experience
Great food great price
We had take out, not as good as usual.
absolutely scrumptious!!!! quick service...excellent staff...delicious food!!!!
Best fish +chips in town .Burgers are really good .Home made and fresh like your mom makes.
I cant imagine tastier fish and chips! The coleslaw gets a 2 thumbs up too.
I had a great lunch and the staff was very friendly. Next time Im in Lindsay I will definitely stop for a bite to eat.
This is the best fish and chips I ve ever had. Even the tartar sauce was the best I ve ever had! The only bad thing about it is I don t live anywhere near Lindsay and I ll never be able to eat fish and chips anywhere else now lol
Great fish and chips
Great food pleasant servers
Had the Halibut fish and chips really enjoyed it, will return.
This Captain George location is our favourite Fish & Chips. Halibut is awesome, and had onion rings today. Really enjoyed.
Its okay
Nice clean great food family restaurant friendly staff
These are great fish and chips. A thin batter style fish and nice chips. Very nice inside since the recent renos.
Really good food
Best fish and chips around. Very busy resteraunt. Starting to get beaten up a bit. Washrooms and resteraunt need to have repairs done and floors and tile up the wall could use to cleaned with bleach. I dont know what renos Terry is talking about i was there 2 weeks ago jan 2018
Went for lunch. Great value and service. Yummy.
Good food and good service
The best fish and chips in Lindsay. Also tried the Greek salad which was excellent for my taste. Service was very friendly and efficient. Enjoyed the bottomless coffee as well. The price was reasonable.
Had lunch here yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. The halibut and chips were delicious, light and crispy and just the perfect portion. Coffee, meh , not so great but hey, that s not their specialty. The place is clean and seating is comfortable. I will definitely be going back and would recommend it 100%.
Delicious fresh fish. We have halibut and chips and coleslaw (lunch size) Freshly cooked within minutes . Not too much batter. Very popular and busy. Great for take out too. Dont go expecting decor or wine - go for the food. Highly recommend.
Awesome fish and chips and Greek salad
Prices went up and portion size went way down
Great food
The best fish and chips Ive ever had, better than fish and chips in Halifax, Nova Scotia, England and Scotland!!
Fish is lightly battered wirh a nice thick, white piece of halibut inside. The salads are tasty. The efficienct waitress are friendly. I like going there.
Good fish and chip shop. Light batter, succulent chips and shrimp to die for.
Great staff... The food is very good and doesnt break the bank.
Excellent service and food as usual
Ok
Fish can be a little greasy but portion size is great.
Always a great experience! Love the food and the coleslaw! Actually the only coleslaw Ive ever enjoyed! All their food is amazing, the customer service is excellent! Cashiers are always looking out for the customers best interest!
Fantastic fish and chips
Food was delicious and prices very affordable. Fast and friendly service.
Good service and excellent foods
Ordered 1 pc of halibut. Thats all I wanted. Staff looked at me like there was something wrong with me. You dont want fries? Charged me $9.00 for the smallest piece of fish Ive ever had from Captain Georges.
Service is great. As are the dinners
Really good food.Good prices.Atmosphere has abit to be worked on.
Great food .great service
Great fish, decried but fresh oil and wonderful fish. Prices to match for halibut, but if you want fish and chips like you remember in the 60s and 70s this is it.
This place is awesome, fish is great, staff are friendly. I wish they were open a little later, but hey it s Lindsay. Sometimes we don t make it before the kids are in bed to get takeout.
Great Fish cooked just right. Halibut getting a bit pricey but in line with other restaurants.
Ordered fish and chips for pickup. The fish and chips are good, but when you order 3 orders of fish and ask for lemons and you get one lemon slice its a little disappointing.
