Duckworth's Fish & Chips in Orillia

Best fish and chips in the area, you will not be disappointed. Staff and chef are friendly, courteous and make you feel welcome.

Its been years since the last visit, and it was just as delicious this time, as the last !!

Always good. Always fresh. Always great service. Great prices for seafood.

For a small family restaurant food was delicious and good sized portions would definitely recommend

The BEST fish and chips in Orillia. We love the Halibut and Chips. It has become our Friday night spot! Wish they were open more week days and longer hours. Parking: a little tight.

They were closed that day.

Delicious food Never a disappointment Food

Small but they have seating for take away if they dont have the seats. .. you dont want to leave without the fish and chips! They have a lunch special as well !

Really good traditional fish and chips. Staff very friendly. Bathrooms very clean.

I have been coming here since I was little and it still never fails to impress.

great food and prices. the place itself is just ok.

Food was pretty good, but they really need to work on keeping the restaurant clean and need to remind the staff that a little bit of a smile goes a long way

The food is always great that s why it s so busy

Nice place

Best fish and chips, as good as the original one on the Danforth.

Hands down, best fish and chips in Orillia.

Best fish and chips From the East coast to the west coast! So good great prices

Delicious Halibut fish and chips. The garden salad was fresh and excellent too. The restaurant was super busy for dinner. We waited a bit for a table. The service was amazing and though they were busy, were extremely friendly and helpful. Food

I grew up eating Duckworths fish and chips in Toronto. We ordered take out this afternoon and it was wonderful! Fish and chips were done perfectly and condiments did not make the batter or the chips soggy at all! The mushy peas are fantastic too!

I phoned an order for a piece halibut and chips take out. I was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived 15 minutes after my order and waited an additional 18 minutes for a single piece of fish, no chips. I complained and was told I must not have called the order in. Unbelievable. I showed the staff my phone record of the call. Then staff said, oh, well, youre getting free fries. By the time my fries arrived another staff member offered to refund my money but by this time i was too miffed. I declined and left. Unfortunately i had also left a tip. Disappointed in Duckworths

Food was excellent, friendly customer service

Delicious fish and chips. Definitely worth coming back each time.

We have tried take out at two other well know places they both brag about how good their fish and chips are Well we decided to give Duckworths a try from being at the other two with portion size ( one place i dont even think was halibut )we went with 2* 2pc unbelievable one two piece could of fed us both the fish portions were huge and the chips were plentiful the gravy was great the homemade tartar was awesome it was truly a top notch meal The order was placed online and was ready before the estimated time we rated the atmosphere as a 5 star as well ,the house was full and every patron seem to be enjoying themselves the people cooking and the waitress were all very polite This was just a top notch experience Duckworths will most definitely be having return visits from us Thank you Best always Bernie

Its a hole in the wall place.. but good food great staff

Absolutely delicious fish and chips!

Great fi & chi

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DUCKWORTHS!!! They have the best staff and service! I walk into a amazing smell! The fish is so tender and rich! Duckworths is so kid friendly! I go ever time I vist Canada! Highly recommended!

Fish and chips cooked to perfection.

Great Fish and chips!! Excellent gravy too

Best fish and chips I have had in Canada. Matt and Lyndsey are awesome. Was just in this Friday night and this is the best fish and chips I have had since eating there. Very Scottish in style. Parking: Not very many spots, but there is street parking.

My first time being at this restaurant and I never go back. The smell of old deep fryer oil and fish stuck to my clothes on the drive home. The fish made me Ill to my stomach. I am not sure how this restaurant passes its health inspection.

Great halibut n chips

Great and friendly service food was fast and delicious had the halibut and chips and a ceasars salad, perfect fish to breading ratio and chips were crispy. Think it was homemade tRtR sauce soo yummy. Decent price. will definitely go back soon

This place makes the 3 and a half hour drive worth it! Best fish and chips in Ontario for sure!

House special 2 piece halibut and poutine= $38 for one. I won t give a 1 star only because there were a few pros. Pros-coleslaw was banging! - portions were fair! - staff was friendly! Cons- fish batter had no taste apart from old grease along with being still kind of gooey. - fries were decent but gravy had no taste also. - yes, portions were fair, however if you charge pretty much $40 for that meal, everything should be on par or above. First time there and have wanted to stop and try for awhile now, but can t see myself going back for those prices and lack thereof for food quality. Maybe it was just an off day or I m pretty particular on how I like my fish seasoned and cooked, but when bounty has 2 piece with chips for $20.95, that will play in my head if I decide to go back or not.

Best fish and chips Ive ever had! Price has risen a little, but well worth it! I eat here every time Im in the area. The staff is always friendly and accommodating!

Plentiful delicious plate of food

We have been doing take out here for years. It has never disappointed. Amazing Halibut Fish and Chips. Food

Good food friendly staff

Good food. You can buy pieces of fish without fries if on a diet or diabetic. Unique deserts you should try.

Keeping a family tradition of great fish and chips. Friendly fast and clean. Casual premise good prices. They have a great daily special of blue cod, fries, coleslaw and a drink for $12.50

Family owned, and we used to eat at the original one on the Danforth. Tastes just the same, which is a rarity for franchisees.

The food was good, fish was very tasty nicely done. Service was a bit slow. I believe they have maybe only one person serving on that day. But I definitely recommend this place.

Truly great fish and chips!

Gluten free halibut and chips--so tasty, you wouldnt know it was gluten free. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free batter available. Food : 5/5 |

Very homey place, not fancy, but the food (halibut and chips) was delicious and service was prompt and friendly.

The people are friendly and the food is FANTASTIC! Will definitely be going here again.

Always good food.

We stopped by for lunch before a concert. We got a huge piece of Halibut, cole slaw and tons of home fries and a thick slice of homemade bread. Great taste , great price and super friendly. There we 8 people staying at the hotel and they asked us where we got dinner, we told them Duckworths down the road. They all went for supper there as well. when they got back they thanked us for the recommendation saying they couldnt believe how generous the portions were.

Reasonable pricing for fish n chip dinner. When back in the area thats where I want to go again. We even recommended it to 6 other people we met that night and they were happy with our recommendations

Good value for the money spent!

i just would like to say that the food hear is just plain good it has nice fish it has some great fries I would recommend going hear its worth the drive of 1 hour and 50 mins

Amazing service and yummy fish and chips

Great food and great service. Never fails to impress.

Thgreat food and service!

Always a great meal in cottage country!

Went with my father and his girlfriend and might I say this resturaunt is an absolutely amazing place, service was wonderful and so was the food. Going into a small bit more detail, our server was a super nice guy (older male with a New Zealander [?] accent), striking up friendly conversation while also balancing work. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere gave off a soft late 80s-early 90s pub vibe, with a hint of modernity and all in all I thoroughly loved this place. Will be asking for more family outings here when I can!

Best fish and chips hands down! Must go if youre passing by. So fresh and excellent prices. They definitely have great service. Always a smile.

Food is great, service is always amazing. Dine in experience is limited and could use a clean and update. We usually order for take out. Have also eaten in a few times.

Best halibut , fresh french fries and amazing coleslaw. Very friendly staff!! Dietary restrictions: Awesome gluten-free halibut! Food : 5/5 |

Best fish and chips, must stop if your passing by

Food and service were great and friendly

This is a great local place to go to. Very good fish, crispy and not greasy. Need to go here if you are in the area. Food

Very good fish and chips. If you are close to this place STOP and get some fish and chips.

Great everything. You have to try it!!!

DIRTY!! The food was good, service was good, the staff were friendly, but the place looked like it hasnt been cleaned since it opened! The front door was almost opaque with finger prints, everything looked dirty. The bathroom was disgusting...filthy sink and taps, actual white stuff dripping off the already dirty brass door plate, I could go on. Makes you wonder how clean the kitchen is.

Just got my door dash delivered from here and I must say as a first time customer AWESOME. Cooked perfectly, tasted amazing and fresh, will be back!

Best fish and chips in Ontario

Awesome food, fun experience, thank you!

Absolutely delicious well be back!!!

Looking for excellent fish & chips? Look no further.

Arguably the best fish and chips in Orillia.

You can dine inside and the food was yummy and portions are huge.

Delicious fish and chips and Ceasars side salad on take out. Perfectly battered halibut! Thank you

Food is always good but we felt silly being told that masks were required coming in to the restaurant, walking 3 paces to our table and being allowed to remove them.

Small hole-in-wall but the food and portion sizes were excellent. Staff are super friendly. Best part is the prices were reasonable

Great food. Great service. Small restaurant but very fast and fresh.

There calamari is a must have

Best fish and chips I ever ate anywhere

Service was good. Fish was awesome fries were not the greatest they were soggy.

Come here whenever im going to the cottage, its a staple. Fish n chips are unreal. The batter solid the fish is fresh. The chips are crispy. Go here. Highly recommend

Best fish and chips e er

Had dinner tonight with my family at Duckworths. The staff are super friendly and the food was amazing. Definitely recommend

Great fish and chips..... Best Ive ever had.

Excellent Food very good as was the service

The fish and chips were very good. The fish, especially, tastes very fresh. Limited hours here. The one thing that stands out is that the moment you enter the restaurant, there is an overpowering smell of raw fish and it takes a few minutes to get used to.

I ve tried them all and they re the best around by far, trust!!

Wanted to share 2 pieces of halibut and fries for $24 with my hubby and was denied. Said that is for one person so would cost more. We just left as other places let us shsre . Not a good experience

Fresh and delicious fish, fries and gravy!!

They have amazing food. There is even gluten free fish and chips. If you are smart order ahead for pick up there is a small waiting time if you dont. We ordered on Good Friday and they had a limited order to choose from, they are so good things get sold out, but dont worry everything us good just pick something else. Enjoy!

So tasty! Very friendly staff! Highly recommended

Totally agree with most reviewers: - Fish and Chips are GREAT ! Portion sizes are good and variety on the menu is good as well... Costs are on par with most Fish and Chip restaurants. The last time we were in the restaurant, we were absolutely TURNED OFF by the filth of the dining area... Dirty floors, dirty walls and disgusting bathroom, which is the reason we have not been back. I am hopeful that the owner reads these reviews and takes steps to Spruce up the place and assigns staff to make sure that a cleaning regimen is adhered to so as not to offend patrons. I think it is important for the owner to understand that consumers / customers do have dining choices.

Good value and great food.

Excellent halibut and chips, cole slaw, gravy, fresh bread and deep fried mushroom dinner yesterday. Friendly, quick service and pricing is reasonable. Nice to dine in again but their take-out is just as good Highly recommend

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend this fine establishment. Food is as spectacular as the service. Another visit planned soon.

What a great little place for fish and chips. Best Halibut Ive had, their fries are very good as well. Great tasting fish, generous portions and their home made tartar sauce is the best .

After waiting nearly 3 years to get back up to Orillia I could hardly wait to get back to Duckworths for the best F & C ever. BUT what did I get? Very thin soggy battered fish, and poorly made fries. So disappointed I cried. Never again. Fortunately, on my way back to the southland I had dinner at a Bob Evans and ordered their version of F & C, not expecting much. BUT it was bloody great! Go figure.

Good as always. Parking: Limited Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entry and washroom.

Great food, great prices

Food and service was excellent as always

Our meal was absolutely delicious! It was delivered piping hot and portions were huge! Much care and thought went into preparing this meal for us. Thank you very much FYI fish & chips special rocks!

They fish was so fresh and the staff were so welcome and friendly ! I love the atmosphere, it s a really great dining experience ! Try the deep fried Mars bar too!!

Its just British food, weird ocean fish, nothing special. But the service is excellent.

We enjoy going there for quality and price. We come from Barrie, Ontario. Yes Danny fish and chips is also good but the price is higher.

Paid $ 47.00 for 2 - Halibut & Chips (including tip & tax) RIDICULOUS !!!!!!

Great fish and chips, friendly efficient service and really good value for the $$$$

Excellent as always! Kid-friendliness: Kids sized menu Food : 5/5 |

A little out dated but the staff and food are good

Enjoy the food and the family running the business. Hurry and open up we miss you

Never disappointed. Friendly staff. Wonderful atmosphere. Food exceptional quality, served with a smile. England beware, you have been bested by these Fish and Chips!

Excellent food!! Excellent service! Thanks Duckworths!!!

The best fish and chips

The best local fish and chips.

Delicious as always!

Best Fish & Chips, the homemade Tartar sauce is great

Yummy!

First time this year for ordering. Staff very friendly and order was ready on time. Large portions of halibut and fries. Very tasty. Homemade tartar sauce was included and was delicious. Definitely will order again.

Was very but not as good as the Duckworth restaurant on Kingston road

Great food-we are stuffed! Grabbed takeout for dinner, gravy is on point, homemade tartar was delish, and the man at the door was soooo friendly and helpful! Cant wait to go back!

This team understands fish and chips. Consistent excellent product and you have to try their homemade tartar sauce. Great little restaurant- a must visit!

Highly recommend good portions and tasty. Service was great

Coconut shrimp delicious!

Best fish & chips Ive had in a while. Definitely worth snacking down on some deep fried pineapple and mars bars.

Always fresh. Never greasy. Great price

When we go to Orillia we try to plan around the time Duckworth is open. Love the service and the food

Great food!!

Visited this summer for take out after not eating there for a few years due to issues with the cleanliness of the restaurant. Didn t get to go inside so can t say whether or not that has improved. Fish was nice and was the highlight. Mushy peas tasted like they d come out of a can rather than being homemade. Fries were soggy and greasy. Wouldn t rush back.

Great service. Great food. We will be back.

Good fish. Only take out with limited hours (summer 2021) so order ahead

Hands down best fish and chips in town

Its a shame that you abanded us during the covid crisis while so many others stepped up to look after the public. Even now you serve with very limited hours to suit yourself and not the public. You have a great product and I really enjoy visiting but will not patronize your business until you open for inside service and have better hours. I hope others feel the same. I wish to offer an apology to the owners of Ducksworth Fish and Chips for my comments not knowing the circumstances around the reasons you were closed. In all fairness to me I phoned weekly to see if you were open and the recording I received was to the effect do to covid 19 and to prevent the spread you would remain closed . Had you have said due to illness I would have understood. Thats what had me so upset. I am a front line worker and worked all through the pandemic and I feel everyone has an obligation to work when they can as long as they are safe. In your situation I fully understand and I give you my sincere apologies. You have the best fish and chips in Canada and I was worried you would never open again and that would have been a great loss. As far as you having trouble to get staff the Government has to stop paying people to stay at home when there is work available. This is ruining small business like yourself as well as driving up the inflation in our economy. Once again Im sorry and look forward to patronizing your business in the future. Larry Olds

Some of the best fish and chips that youll ever have.

On our first visit today i ordered Halibut and fries and my mom ordered her favorite Haddock with coleslaw and they offered up the homemade tartar sauce as well. We both agree we havent had a nicer fish and chip dinner anywhere, including the spot on Tartar sauce and fantastic coleslaw. Thank you Duckworths!

Great customer service, quick and tasty.

First time ordering. Was great! Nice breading on the fish, tartar was tasty and the fries were cooked to perfection. Delivery time was on point.

The meal was good with a good portion and great price.

A solid value for a delicious lunch. Family owned and operated.

friendly, fast service and delicious!

Fish is over priced and the fries are to thick to be fully cooked. I will not be back for Battered grease.

Friendly, quick, portions are big and worth the money.

So I have heard a lot about this place some good some bad I always decide myself. This place is a dive though in my opinion the glory of its days are over. The fish was not good and was over cooked.

Wow I m surprised by the reviews because this place is very dirty have you seen in the kitchen and seen the washrooms they are disgusting next time you are there actually take a look so you trust to eat here and not get sick. Me and my husband were scared to try the fish and when we did it was greasy. I agree with some other post close down to clean the place up!

There is very little parking. The fish was overcooked. The fries taste like cardboard. I was very disappoint with this experience as I only heard good things about this place, not going there for fish anymore.

Fantastic as usual

Fantastic Fish & Chips and good service.

Best flsh and chips ever!!!!!

You dont ever answer your phone. I would love to try this restaurant to really give it a review

Best service very friendly and the very best fish and chips around

My husband and l travel from bradford to have the fish and chips..it is so enjoyable.

Great food best fish and chips anywhere.Fantastic coleslaw and youve got to try the deep fried mushrooms amazing

Amazing place for the BEST fish n chips !

It has got the best fish and chips and awesome and very friendly staff I would recommend this place to everyone

Good service , great halibut and chips

Not happy with the food or service.

Great food, just wish it didnt feel like everything had a thin layer of oil on it, like its almost in the air. Even if they closed off the one serving window to contain the grease from the fryers in the air, everything just needs a good wipe!

Good food

Great halibut and cali tonight! Woulda hit that fifth star but my fries, although still enjoyable, were not as crisp as I d like. Small detail though. Well worth the money. Always an enjoyable experience interacting with the staff.

Absolutely awesome

Everyone says this place is supreme! We went last night before Roger Hodgson show at Rama. 2 halibut and chips. Great price, as other places charge 17.00 for the same.............. The fish was good, but we both found that the chips tasted heavy I would say heavy like homefries..... Although you get a mountain of chips, its too bad they are heavy tasting..... I would go back and just ask for 1/2 the chips.....and ask to adjust the bill accordingly. Service was great...and really fast.....

Food was very good and great price. All homemade.

Lovely people

The white fish and halibut were delicious! Awesome home made chips and sticky toffee pudding. Excellent specials too.

Great portion sizes!!!

Food is #1 bar none. I know it s difficult because they are very busy but the place needs a thorough cleaning and washrooms are disgusting! They usually have plenty of staff and when they are not busy should be assigned to cleaning chores. Perhaps closing the access between the fry area and dining area to staff only would limit greasy air from dining area. Patrons should use the front door. Otherwise my go to place for seafood!

Great fish n chips cooked just right!
