You can tell they've been at it for a while lol. Portions are big, food is good. The only thing that's a little annoying is that they only take cash, no debit or credit
Hiding in plains site. Food was wonderful and the banter between the staff and customer was pleasant. Would recommend to all. I will return.
Hands down the best fish and chips on the river!! Tartar sauce is not needed, the fish is delicious on it's own!
Awesome local fish and chips. If you're ever in Mirimachi, NB, this is the place for the best fish 🐟 and chips for under $20. Super friendly staff, super fast service. Where locals go. Thanks
Almost everyone told us to try Estey's as the best in town but we delayed thinking no tartar sauce was odd. I understand now, it's so good you don't want tartar sauce to get in the way of the phenomenal flavour of the fish. I'm a chubby lifelong foodie dude, I had fresh Pacific salmon fish and chips out of a combo convenience store/tackle shop/dockside fish restaurant in north vancouver which was an experience I'll never forget it was that perfect and the historical classic fish and chips from multiple world famous spots in England when I visited family there....... Estey's is in my opinion the 3rd best fish and chips IN THE WORLD after the one best place in England (can't remember if it was in York or Scarborough though) or Vancouver and is definitely the best in Miramichi without question.
We ordered the “large fish”. 8 generous pieces, cooked to perfection. No chips. Fish was moist and tender, batter perfectly brown and crispy. There are two rival fish & chips places here on the river. This was always our favorite! No tartar sauce at Estey’s. But they serve a hefty portion of white vinegar if you ask. So good! Some corrections to google’s “about page” Cash only, no debit Pickup/takeout only, no eat in No lunch, doesn’t open until 4pm Pre-order to speed up your order. They don’t drop it in until you arrive and give them your order number
The best and most flavorful fish on the river and arguably anywhere in Canada/US. The fries were always my favorite but they have been a lot thicker my last few visits making them not as enjoyable. I miss the old ones! Which were slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. But it will never keep me away from my favorite spot!
This is my favorite restaurant. The best fish and chips period. I would request this as my last meal. Update, still the best.
good food nice places good service order arrives quickly
Best fish and chips in town!
Very greasy fish, small portions and too expensive. Having to pay for ketchup is ridiculous.
Found it was a lot like Deluxe ,not a fan
The food is awesome
Happy you are open for the 2023 season. Such a great meal today & Heathers service was exceptional. Parking: Easy access, plenty of parking spaces and the best fish on the river
Best fish and chips Ive ever had! It was so good that returned the next day to try it again
Brings back old memories... I love that it has stayed the same for over 40 years . That I remember.
This is a take out only place but it is great! The serving size is huge! The food is incredible and so is the service! My husband said it was the best fish in the world.
Best fish and chips Ive found so far in Newcastle/Chatham area! Best Ive had in general since years ago at Hutches in Hamilton, Ontario. Thats coming from someone who tries the fish and chips at every place Ive been in numerous major cities across Canada.
This is a local landmark.. there is no dine in. We order and sit in our car to eat.. always fun and always delicious.
The best, grew up going here and was not disappointed at all. Im so happy I made a point of bringing my family as we all loved the fish and chips
In 2023, Esteys have increased their prices (understandably) however at the same time decreased the size of the actual haddock filets they are using. Where at one time Esteys had a good balance of batter and fish, its majority batter now and due to the smaller filets, the fish is dry inside. Certainly not the Esteys it used to be unfortunately.
Good fish but whats up with no tartar sauce
Would not of found the place as a tourist, if it wasnt for the flow of people. in and out of the building. Food was amazing tho! A bit disapointed that they didnt have tartar sauce. Yes the fish is amazing but.... it hewlps to digest...
The lady who took my order was grumpy when I asked about tartar sauce
They are cash only, they have signs saying such but who reads all the little signs at a restraint. It is my fault I did not read the signs but seriously what business does not have a debit machine or a square. There are even machines in cabs. By the time I went and got cash towing a boat my food was cold the fries and fish were mushy. I doubt I will ever be able to convince my wife to get food there again.
An institution in the Miramichi. It s far from fancy. But it s not supposed to be. Step back in time the second you enter. Debit machines or fancy packaging would ruin the appeal. It doesn t change, nor should it ever. The best tasting, fresh, delicious fish I have ever had. Keep being you Estey s!
Best Fish & chip eatery on the river
Parking: Ample parking but not wheelchair accessible entrance and no debit/credit machine so I had to go all over town to find a machine as the credit unions machine was not working properly. Parking space
I always look forward to Summer and Easteys. Our order was delicious.
As good as ever. Best fish and chips Ive ever had. Disappointed that they dont have gravy or coleslaw but overall it wasnt needed.
Very good dish,and good fish nd chips.Very polite staff and i would definitely recommend this place to anyone
Its okay but vastly overrated by locals. Fries are limp and undercooked.
Best fish I have ever had. May not be fancy but you wont care when you taste it. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible
EXCELLENT fish and chips! The breading is delicious and crispy. The pieces of fish are generous. The homemade fries are really homemade and not greasy. And for the comments about the tartar sauce well...go to the shoppers drug mart nearby and buy some mayo and relish. Go eat this at the park on the banks of the Miramichi River with a little wine and the experience is just...Wow!!
Great ordered ahead, was not to busy so no waiting
Absolutely the best fish n chips in Canada, too bad it is in New Brunswick and I live in Alberta
Wow! A generous serving of the best fish and chips. I bring my own mayo.
Great as always ... the fries could use some tweaks compared to the first time i went , but fish is always great (in my own experiences) It is a 3h round trip that i do just for there fish...
Great fish, Great fries. WEIRD stance on tartar sauce. get over it.
One of the best places to get fish and chips
Best fish and chips hands down. Crispy white fish and home cut fries.
Fries were burnt
A Miramichi tradition and my diet cheat meal - excellent service as usual
Great fish and chips. Bring your tartar sauce they dont believe in it.
Very tasty!
Tried to eat here. Was rushed off the phone when placing an order, and its run out of an apartment building. When I went to pickup I was then told it was cash only. No mention of it over the phone, and no price was given over the phone. Wouldnt recommend this business.
Always good
Always great!
Favorite of mine.
Best FishNChips in the Maritimes
I loved Esteys, no fish was ever comparable. The last few times Ive went, its gone down hill. The fish is paper thing, batter is overcooked, Im pretty sure I could get more meat out of a goldfish. Every year the prices go up, and the fish gets smaller. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else.
Love it here
I have been here years before and it was fantastic. The fish this time around was very greasy and wasnt as enjoyable.
Best ever
Best fish/chips on the river
Very kind people and incredible fries! It was around 10pm or so and I realized I hadnt eaten yet that day, so I found this place on Google Maps and decided to try it. I think they were almost out because it was so late, but they still packed me up a large serving and were so nice! My aunt and I could have eaten a whole bag of those fries they were so good lol
Not sure why everyone likes this place, no ketchup u have to pay for it, no tarter sauce, greasy fish which is small....fries are squishy too.....if u go bring a bottle of ketchup and ur own tartar sauce.... and way to expensive ....
Best fish, and chips around! Ive heard some people travel just for the fish alone! May - October, my favorite time of the year.
So good!
Best fish on the river
The best Fish&Chips on the River
Awful , would not go there again, and not recommend it. Greasy food , pour container for food too small no tarter sauce , one ketchup, extra for more. Dixie lee is a lot better, yuk yuk at Estey,
I love the fish!!!!
Great service and food was great
Delicious food
Always made to order, fresh, perfectly battered and crispy. The flavour is SPOT-ON.
Greasy but soo delish!
Last time we ordered fish and fries we really greasy. Did not enjoy it at all
Another fantastic eatery in New Brunswick. Fluffy, clean tasting fish. Crispy fries. Taratar sauce. I cant say much bad about this place. A very cozy, small restaurant that can be easily overlooked - dont miss it!
Always awesome food and service!
Tastes wonderful& made fresh!
Excellent as always!
I cannot believe a fish and chip place has no tartar sauce. Fish is good, fries you call them fries, soggy greasy and tasteless.
Its on but very overpriced fries were too dark
New lady behind the counter was efficient but lacked the small town friendliness that draws my family to make the drive from Rexton - fish was fabulous and on par as usual.
Excellent Fish and chips
Best fish n chips ever
Once a year feed for this family. Greasy but delicious!!!!
Great fish and chip. Cash only. No debit or credit.
The fish was amazing!!! The large comes with 5 big pieces of fish. Perfectly cooked and not too greasy!
Great family owned restaurant great fish and fries
Very greasy and quite expensive in my opinion
The best on the planet bar none.
Always the best fish and chips, and a necessary stop while on the Miramichi.
Fish & Chips fantastic...home made fries 5 ..Hamburgers. 6
Best fish and chips on the river
Amazing fish and chips. Not open through the winter. Only opens at 5 PM.
Esteys Fish & Chips is a great spot for family friendly, quality service. Its menu options provide a variety of delectable foods, for the optimal experience. The staff are friendly and provide a welcoming environment for all people, to eat a great meal.
Worst fish I ever tasted. Never eat there again
Best Fish & Chips around
Excellant Food as well as service
Good fish and chips
The best fish in Miramichi
The fish and chips were perfect.
This place is a family owned business. Provides great fish and chips. They are famous for it.
Best fish and chips ever!
Delicious .....hasnt changed since I was a kid
Over priced small portions and they dont have any condiments. Waste of money. A restaurant would be cheaper.
Theres nothing better than Esteys. Nothing.
I dont understand why people get so excited about these fish n chips. They are super greasy! But maybe thats why people enjoy them so much. I also found it to be a bit on the pricey side for take-out junk food.
Heard about this place so when visiting the Miramichi, we stopped in ...Had fish and chips....food was o.k ....but pricey for the amount....extra for ketchup (get maybe teaspoon included....real piss off for me was after receiving my order I asked for extra tarter sauce....they dont offer it CASH ONLY....no debit Back to Dixie Lee for us!!!!!!
The food is amazing, its really good fish, but the wait times are really long, and they charge you for ketchup.
A must stop whenever visiting
Worth the awkward hours and wait.
Delicious as usual
Greasy fish..worst ever this year
Still the best fish an chips anywhere
Fish was good and crispy. Simple, quaint and quick order window service. Feels like a place thats been around for years.
Fish has a nice crispy batter!
Best food ever period
As always it was very fast and a great meal
A Miramichi staple!
The fish is great but sometimes the fries are not. Unbelievably no debit, cash only.
Delicious fish
