Halibut House Fish and Chips in Orangeville

They steal tips from their staff.

Dont waist your money

Bad service. Food was soggy. Worst fish and chips Ive ever had.

Best Fish and Chips ever! Clean, very Friendly owners and Staff. Absolutley Recommend!! 5 Food : 5/5 |

Wonderful Cambodian staff, very friendly and large portions.

Food portions was very good quantity and quality . Will be visiting again. Food

Love this place.. The fact that its empty boggles my mind

Was amazing dining there.

Very underrated breakfast it was delicious and the people there are very nice

The food was good and reasonably priced

What a fabulous place for fish! Portions are huge!! Super friendly, quick staff.

Dined in... Have ate here multiple times now having the haddock and chips ... very tasty..have not been disappointed Service was very good as well. Food

The Food is really good and the service too

Very positive experience.

I love the place and even though it is a chain, you would never know! Only 3 employees and they are all great! Food is huge and you only need one piece of fish!

Friendly staff, great food, great value

Great food and friendly service!

Food was cold. They don t make their own tartar sauce. Disappointing for the money spent.

I enjoy Halibut House. Their meals are large and served hot. The restaurant is very clean with nice bathroom which is also very clean and tidy. I am athletic so I am very picky about my fish and meats with zero complaints. I go once a week and its so nice the owners remember my name! Lovely husband and wife that work really hard and it shows. Try it youll like it!!!

Really Nice food, fish was awesome

We expected that a restaurant with the name Halibut House would specialize in fish and chips. We were disappointed. Both the halibut and chips appeared to be of the frozen variety. Certainly edible but we won t be back.

Good Fridays dinner was disappointing! Dropping over $120.00 for a family of 4, the haddock was over cooked, and I was not impressed with the poutine (which I dont even eat, I order for my husband and eldest child to share). Dry fries, a dollop of gravy and maybe 5 curds on top! (Its a good thing I ordered an extra side of gravy) Addionaly, there we no condiments included this time. Ive ordered from this restaurant several times and have enjoyed it, but tonights order was atrocious. Considering I placed this order online before noon, to pre-order for delivery around dinner time, I expected more quality for the amount of money I just dropped. I give only 2 stars for my past experiences being decent.

Out of all the fish and chips in Orangeville, I find this the worst. So expensive for a tiny over battered piece of fish. Service was also disappointing. I wont be returning to this store, there are far better options in Orangeville.

Fish was dry. I would never order from here again.

ordered onion rings they never came. Fish not fried but baked Fish over cooked n dry. Chips were soggy.. Dont go here, I wont again.

Amazing value for money. Breakfast was perfectly cooked and presented. Waitress has super very dry sense of humor!

We visited for breakfast.Great service, fair prices and good food. Will try the fish and chips soon!

My sister and I had the Cod and it was delicious!! Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair buttons for front doors and washrooms Food : 5/5 |

Brought my family for dinner. We should have walked out as soon as we sat down. Worst service ever. Server was very rude, and we felt like we were not welcome. My Grand daughter ordered childrens halibut and chips. Her fish was no way halibut. She couldnt eat her meal. My husband also tried her fish and he said it was not fit to eat. The server rolled her eyes and said it was halibut and she wouldnt comp the child meal also just wslked away, while we were still talking about the wierd taste of kids fish. We a family of 5 will never return. Been to 4 of these locations. This was worst

Sitting here in the parking lot waiting for the place to open. Not a soul in the restaurant. Clearly doesn t open during the advertised hours. No sign on the door stating any sort of closure. Adjust you hours. I just wasted my time driving to this location.

This place was unbelievably clean and tidy very impressive. I would eat here again. A nice piece of halibut with a very thin batter and you could actually see the size of the piece of fish that you were getting.

Nothing great. Typical bland food.

Overall the food was good. However, the fries could have been a little better. The cost was higher than other fish and chip restaurants in the area, which I reviewed recently.

Good food good service

Usually go to a different fish and chip restaurant but was in the area and decided to go to the Halibut House . Order the fish sandwich with fries, fish lightly battered, very good and fries excellent. Restaurant was clean and service good. Will definately go again. Food

Delicious, reasonably priced lunch. Super service too. Food

Had lunch here today and want impressed. The fish was not fresh, out of a box and the batter too hard and crispy. The food didn t have any flavour and the sever was not welcoming.or friendly. It was very disappointing.

Party of three for dinner. Food was way under par.The halibut was very small. Mushy peas had no taste. The restaurant was cold. I had to wear my winter coat because I was that cold. We tried it. But definitely not for us. To many fish and chip places around, that is way better.

Indifferent. In town for business for a week. I eat at the Halibut house in Oshawa frequently. I found this place a little lacking in the personal service and the food quality maybe wasnt what I am used to. It wasnt bad. Maybe I just get better experience here. Seemed to cost more frankly. Meh I wouldnt not recommend it. It was fine. Just not stellar

Excellent food, portions, service and friendly lady who waited on us

Great Fish and Chips Great friendly staff

Went there for an early dinner on Monday. Staff were very friendly and it was very clean. The portions were big! Grilled halibut was delicious. Tons of crispy fries and the Greek salad dressing was tasty. The others said the battered fish was very good too. Lots of leftovers for the air fryer.

Good fish and chip, friendly staff. Definitely be back

Halibut was too dry & not cooked properly , no utensils in our takeout order.

Halibut and Chips were a 5.0 Come here for your classic fish fry experience.

The service was excellent, the food was delicious with huge portions. I will definitely go back. My only issue was the side of little gravy cost $3 each which is expensive.

Stopped in on our way home from the beach. We each ordered the seafood platter. Portions were huge. So delicious and fresh. Super friendly staff. Nice and clean inside.

Owner very mouthy with staff ots never the same staff

It was amazing! Definitely be back! I ll bring my husband next time

Worst place ever, food and service is horrible. Wouldnt honor their menu prices. Shorting customers for a few dollars. Disgraceful and rude. We will never be going back there

Best cod and chips ever. Coleslaw was fresh. No vinegar taste. Restaurant very clean. Service was good and waitress very cheery. Well definitely return and looking forward to it.

Update: as with all Orangeville restaurants this place too has gone downhill. Prices have increased and they arent properly cleaning/changing their fry oil so it causes stomach problems for days.... It should not cost $50 for two people to eat fish and chips! What a shame. Great food, fish was super crispy and they gave us such a generous portion. Didnt feel like cooking tonight and unlike most food places in Orangeville they didnt make me regret getting takeout!

Their fish is great. Onion rings also suberb. Fries are thick and almost none are crunchy, some people might like that. My issue is I ordered something non fish for once. The chicken wings. Each bite tasted of fish. They must use the same oil as their fish with their wings, every single bite had a strong fish aftertaste. Obviously its a fishplace, but when someone orders meat it shouldnt be cooked in the same stuff or place without cleaning.

I had the haddock with chips. It was quite good but i do think the value of money is not worth. Maybe i need to try more things from here. So far it has been an okay experience. Looking for recommendations on what to try!

Very good food a little bit pricey but portions are big and the staff are very friendly

Worst fish and chips weve every had. Everything from frozen or packaged. Very disappointing,

Always great fish and chips. Nice place !

Excellent!!! One of the best fish and chips spots Ive been to. Our server Sophie was amazing and funny. Will definitely be coming back

Good food great service good pric

Big portions in the special but holy oil bath the grease was running off my fish. I had to keep paper under it so it didnt run all over. Not worse I have had was ok. The prices are a little rich if your not buying the specials

Already reviewed. Great place etc. Nothings changed

Ordered calamari and haddock and chips. Calamari was $10 but had like 8 small pieces, tasted ok but dont think I will buy it again paying 10$for 8 pieces. And fish was too dry. Price is decent though.

First time ordering here. Very good! Generous portions...especially the fish. Huge piece. Fries were excellent too. King cod with fries and salad. Definitely coming back!

We spent 75 dollars and were missing all of our drinks, a lot of our fries were ice cold and the fish was rubbery. It was our first time eating here. Willing to try again at a later date but bad for a first experience.

ordered the halibut and greek salad. the fish was so oily with an inch total thickness of batter. the salad had a foul smell to it. would not recommend .

Quality food and Great service

Everything we ordered was made fresh and came hot. Best haddock we have had in a while. Servers were also very nice.

Usually its 5 stars but last night I was disappointed. The batter was over cooked and hard, the halibut was over done. The fries were exceptional though and my wifes chicken fingers were great.

Great fish and chips. Great portions

Very nice place. The food is delicious, and there s a great variety of options. The staff is also great as well! Only qualm with it is the cramped area in the front, and the way your order is brought out. Can never tell which method is gonna be used next. But I ll keep coming back anyway because it s that good!

I believe 3 stars is a fair assessment because quality was exactly as I expected, no better, no worse. At first a little shocked by the price, when we opened the bags it was evident why. The portions are massive, our order for 5 could ve easily fed a family of 10 no problem. I have read some of the other reviews and they are so negative. I m curious if they are under new management or ownership as our experience was overall pleasant. Our order was ready exactly on time for pick up, staff seemed friendly though the interaction was brief. To say the least I will be eating leftover fish for lunch for the next week.

Awesome

Only place I ate this day, halibit not at all certain was actually halibut as the texture was wrong with thin strand flesh while halibut is 1/4 inch layers so I believe I was served some other type of fish ,one 3 x 4 inch with onion rings came to over 20 dollars with tax.not well disagreed with my stomach severely but service for curbside was quite friendly Stars are for friendly service only

Expensive but good food and large portions!

Great to be back on the patio after long time ! Amazing food and friendly staff !

The Best I have had in years!!

My friends and I really enjoyed the Sunday night Haddock and chips special for $10. Great food, great service...thanks Taya!!

Delicious food, generous portions, super kind staff. My favourite fish and chippery in town!

Good food, nice outside patio. Reasonably priced

Not sure why the ratings are under 4 stars because the food is great compared to other Fish and chips restaurants in the area plus the staff have always been very friendly in person and on the phone

Great fish & chips

Very good. Very clean. Friendly server.

Service was good but for $23 I wasnt happy with the food.

Loved it

Expensive

First time at Halibut House. Friendly staff, awesome food and great service. Definitely heading back there.

Excellent seafood restaurant. Very generous portions for the money. Would highly recommend if you havent tried Halibut House.

Disappointed, ordered take out and did not receive any condiments at all!! Food was ok but a bit shocked that the restaurant couldn t even take the time to put any condiments in the bag. Cost was very high!! Will be very reluctant to eat here again.

Not a great start i guess you close at 740 not 8? can t answer calls up til your hours that s sucks. Great service and start to your stay in OV

We spent hard earn cash for a night out and thought we try new fish place what a mistake. The food was so greasy and soggy Will never go there again .

Very good fish and chips. Well done fries and perfect cook fish.

We did take out tonight and it was delicious. Staff were terrific and did social distancing well. Portion sizes were great.

Large portions, they don t make their own tartar sauce, fries are fresh cut, fish was not the flakiest but flavour was pretty good.

Halibut had a nice flavour, with large portion size. The fish was crispy and not oily. Texture of the fish was chewy but still had moisture, so I suspect they are using frozen halibut. The restaurant did not make their own tartar sauce. Based on the price and no flaky texture, my rating of 3 stars is fair. As we say in Britain, gday mates.

SOGGY GREASY GARBAGE No condiments in the bag. I hear tarter sauce goes good with FISH. Poor customer service by the lady that seems to be running the place. SAVE YOUR MONEY one star is way to much for this place. They wont last long in this town

We ordered take out. Meal was greasy, soggy, and cold. We also didn t receive our entire order. When we called to complain, no apology was given. A manager was to call us back but never did. Will NEVER return!

My family wanted to try the new fish store in town. We took 4 halibut and chips orders home. Very disappointed. Big portions,however I would prefer less and better quality. It was extremely greasy, fish was compressed and dry with batter falling off. Fries were under cooked and mushy. Over all review, we were very disappointed and threw most of it in the compost. Will not be going back.

We were really looking forward to trying the Halibut House out. So disappointed :( fish was rubbery and the batter was soggy on one side and just tasted of oil. Fries also a disappointment - will return to our usual fish and chip shop.

Never go back. Service is bad manager i can understand and when i got home food cold and missing stuff. Never again.

Amazing taste and great portion size!

The first time they gave part of our order away to someone else, so we waited a very long time and got some cold stuff and some hit stuff. The second time they burnt the grilled cheese so bad I didnt even want to eat it. Fries are good though.

Someone posted a review that is false. Its served on a plate on the indoor tables that we walk past to get to the cash. The owners are posting 5 star reviews to try to raise their rating. Their names were listed in newspaper reviews so not hard to see this. Maybe put effort into improving service and food quality, instead of lying to the people you want as customers. Phoned in a for a later pick up, still had to wait. This is the third time this happened. Total waste of time to expect them to have it ready if you phone ahead. Chips were soggy and fish was just passable. 3 strikes your out. Will not eat there again

I can say with 100% certainty that all the 5 star reviews on here are from the owners and staff. If you look at the pictures, its on plates in the tables inside the restaurant which has never been opened inside since they first opened during coronavirus. The owners have zero clue what they are doing. Foods barely passable. The woman who runs the front might have a mental disability because she has zero clue what shes doing 99% of the time. Also everything the customers touch barely gets cleaned so its a prime spot to pass covid around. Health department should shut this place down now before people get sick

Couldint even under stand the lady on the phone I dont even know what I just ordered

Went in and stayed for dinner. Amazing food, and service. Everything cooked to perfection. Thank you ladies.

Had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent. The service was even better. Natasha was our server. Very pleasant and polite. Service with a big smile even though she was wearing a mask. She was such a pleasure and we looking to coming back at this Orangeville location.

Excellent food and service. Service with a smile. Great service from Natasha and Sophy. Good value for your money. Will be back again

Great food and service!

Ordered 2 sunday specials (haddock & chips) and asked for tartar sauce and never got it. The fires were soggy and unappealing. The fish was extremely greasy compared to other fish & chips and the batter was soggy as well. Overall bad quality food, wouldnt recommend for fish & chips in orangeville.

Sat down in the newly opened dining area, very clean, great service and polite server. Cant go wrong based on the price. Very large portions, and it was all cooked properly. Batter and fish flakey and crispy. Remember if you order this as take out, you wont get an accurate experience of the food. Qualifications; have eaten food for close to 30 years, and have been a server myself. Also an orangeville local.

Was there earlier today, I am pleased with the staff & food Good Customer Service, Enjoyed the Fish, Chips, & Salad they give you Large Portions You get what you pay for. P.S. I am not an employee & i gave a good review.

The restaurant is very nice. You get alot of food for a little price.

Halibut and chip great! Dont get grilled halibut for take out.

This place is horrible in everyway and will not last a year if they dont try harder...I just spent 70 dollars for cold fish,stale fries and I got home and they forgot my drinks after I specifically asked if everything was in the bag Funny how no one from the store has commented..... absolute garbage

Great breakfast

As an Englishman whose aunts and uncles owned a variety of chippies back in the old country, I can honestly say I havent had fish n chips this good in years. Will definitely be going here from now on.

Hope you like mushy fries with mushy peas and deep fried breaded elastic bands that are marketed as Breaded Clams... Also ordered the greek salad: The people of Greece would be ashamed that their national salad was topped with what they put on as feta, was the texture of milk covered sawdust and snot flavored dressing.They get one star for giving me a discount about my complaint. Nice people. Horrible food.

Nice food. Value for money.

Had the Sunday special, haddock and chips. Everything was delicious, the cooking oil was fresh.

Called in our order like we have in the past, only to arrive at the restaurant to pick up our order and told after it was paid for that they were waiting for us to come in before starting to cook our order. Why would we precall?? Then they can t figure out how to refund the purchase or give cash. They actually expected us to return the following day to get a refund. After a fight they finally gave us cash. Last time we will be ordering at this location!

Hello there, My name is Clayton and I have been eating at Halibut House for about 1 1/2 years. Split between the Oshawa and now the Orangeville location. My girlfriend and I love coming here for breakfast and lunch. The prices are like most places or cheaper. I like their regular breakfasts, BLTs, and the fish and chips are really good too (I only get the halibut). Some of the reviews on here are ruthless and down right slanderous. Bunch of Gordon Ramsey wannabes. I would recommend HH to my friends.

Great food. Huge portions

We will be back!

Good food and portions for the price

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!! Missing part of my order. Spoke to owner Sophie who was extremely unprofessional, rude and obnoxious. This is NOT the first time either. I will NEVER order food from this place again. Definitely doesn t fit in with our small towns charm. This business is very undeserving of 1 star, it s such a shame I can t score them a 0, as that would be much more fitting in this case.

This business has not earned one star. The owner Sophie is extremely unprofessional. I noticed I was missing some of the food I paid for when I got home and the owner told me she would deliver the missing food and then when I asked how long it would take she said she would not deliver the food because it was too busy ( all within 5 mins). Save yourself the time and stress and go somewhere else. The fish was mediocre, not worth the hassle.

Food is fantastic, but they need to let the customers who order by phone for pickup know that they dont start cooking the food until you get there. When someone asks when is the food going to be ready, and their response is 15mins, you dont expect them to start cooking it when you show up to pick it up. Again, that said, food was delicious

Every ring was great.but fries were a little cold

Amazing food and fantastic prices for the portions. Tried for the first time tonight and couldnt be happier. This will be my go-to Fish and Chips place from now on! Very friendly staff as well.

Went there for the first time for breakfast with my wife waitress was very friendly it was a really big breakfast very good food and very reasonably priced defently would recommend it will be going back again and cant wait to try the fish and chips
