1070 Simcoe St N, Oshawa, ON L1G 4W4, Canada
Easygoing local chain for fried & grilled cod, halibut & other seafood, plus fresh-cut fries.
What a fantastic Halibut House location!! The service was exceptional, food was fresh and hot, location was very, very clean. Would highly recommend this location and so happy I chose this location!
What a wonderful experience here. It was not what I expected, especially for breakfast. The Daily Special was terrific. The service was terrific! The server was fast, professional and you just knew that she cared. Thank you. Food was great 👍 👌 and the price was right. I'll be back and probably try what you are named after, very curious 🤔 😏 😉. The place was well kept. Bathroom cleaned to a quality standard. You could just tell. News on a large T.V. and news laid out for your reading pleasure. Amazing! I will and definitely recommend to others.1
It’s a nice place to go if you are craving fish and chips. Price is decent but the food quality is good.
I just had the worst Fish sandwich in my life, and I'm British. It was a square processed fish half cooked in the middle was raw no taste and they put tasteless slaw on top of the fish. It Yuk I put in the garbage. I should of got fish filet from mcdonalds whiich taste much better. Waste of money The only good thing was the waitress was lovely.
This place is a hidden gem. I have been coming here almost daily for breakfast since the place opened. The food is great. The prices are reasonable and the staff are next level. I know them all personally because I am a regular. They make me feel like right at home everyday. Even though I am a breakfast regular I still enjoy the odd lunch and dinner of fish and chips. Never had a bad meal. The fish and chip are great. If I had to be critical... a couple of minor things I would improve on is the coffee, and condiments. The coffee is ok but I have had better. I would use high-quality brand name condiments if I managed the place. Other than that, it's a great place to eat. It has been interesting watching the place get busier over the years. Especially for breakfast. People are finally noticing it as a place for breakfast. It's hard to find my regular table empty. Give it a try. You will be pleasantly surprised.
The service and atmosphere here is great. I only ordered some fish tacos for my first time, and they were pretty good. The prices are also reasonable. They also have a huge variety. Overall, it would absolutely come again.
Very clean and tidy family type restaurant. The decor really does have a fun "seaside" feel to it. The value and quality of our meals was top notch and our server was very attentive and super friendly! Definitely a place to make a regular stop!
I had the one piece Halibut dinner. It had one good sized piece of of halibut nestled on a bed of fresh cut fries. Also a nice vinegar based Coleslaw on the side. The fish was cooked to perfection and tasted light and fresh. Loved the halibut with its golden crispy batter and light flavor. The chips were good old basic fresh cut fries. This is a great place to go for halibut, I will be back again for sure.
The food was deliciously sweet Parking: Halibut house fish and chips, this is on simcoe, in the no frills plaza, Halibut house is beside the Dairy Queen Food : 5/5 |
Really good fish and chips
Love there breakfast & they have great fish & chips
My new favourite
Too crowded. No accessible seating or door openers. Amazing service and food
Fish and Chips were fresh and hot. Our service was fantastic. The portion was perfect. Restaurant was exceptionally clean and tidy. As my wife hates the smell of any type of seafoods, we are both pleased she can join me for the perfect breakfast egg sandwich as she could not smell a fishy dinning room. This is a Win Win for both of us!!
Had lunch with an friend on Sunday May 12th. If I am in the Oshawa area I will be going back. Staff are great and attentive. Food was very good.
Prices are great! Service real quick! Especially on weekends! For breakfast! Food
Food came to my table. It was hot and fresh. Service was amazing. I recommend this place.

Clean place, friendly service, good food!
First time Ive ever seen a fish burger... I had to try it, it was really good!
Loved this place - new look. Great service. Pleasant staff - sense of humour. Great recommendations. Clean a welcoming Food was great- fish lightly battered. Great fries.
Halibut House, fish and chips, Simcoe St. North, excellent. Better than Halibut House in south Oshawa.
Anyvother time we go we enjoy having our fish and chips this particular day the server was great but our food was just awful.. the fish was dry and the fries were old. We mentioned to the server and she told us the cook was in a bad mood and she could only take my pop off.. we will not be coming back here
The restaurant is very clean and intimate and the staff was friendly! The Shrimp and chips was the go too and it did not disappoint at all. Overall a must return restaurant
Great food and service. Wasnt too busy when we were there, everything was quick.
Great breakfast, right up there with the breakfast specialists!!
Price too expensive and food was only gave one piece of fish. Normally I bought 2 piece of fish
Everything was good except the bacon was paper thin
Good fish and chips the staff is friendly and greet you as soon as you arrive at the counter
Food was overpriced and small quantities. The bacon felt like it was from the microwave. This will be my last time here
Great service and very friendly staff. I felt at home there! Kid-friendliness: Spacious dining room Wheelchair accessibility: Automatic doors and accommodating seating
Great fish and chips and excellent service.
Server was nice and polite, attentive and quick. Fish and coleslaw was really good. Fries were kinda dry tasting. Which was unusual. Food : 4/5 |
Absolutely loved it! Not a single complaint!
Very expensive for take out, wont be back.
Amazing Halibut and Fantastic service !
Beautiful place food was amazing & the staff were on point ..... Also just had breakfast the other day and it was amazing !!!
Food was delicious, waitress was friendly and helpful, restaurant was clean,l will definitely be going back many times

Excellent as always.
average
Was first time there nd wow was I impressed. Sarah was a great waitress with a beautiful smile and great personality that welcomed us at the door and very fast to serve us. The halibut was so fresh and perfectly cooked fries were nice and crispy and the coleslaw was crunchy and fresh. If I could suggest anything it would be to go back and eat there again as we will be also.Thank you for a delightful lunch.
Food was ready in 10 minutes and tasted amazing! Glad I got the gravy to dip my fish and chips in!
Wow , just had lunch again. Fantastic fish and great service from our waitress Sarah . I will be making this a regular spot. Thank you.
This is my go to for fish and chips. They also have really good breakfast. Service is also great
Great service Amanda. Breakfast was excellent.
Huge amount of fries and giant piece of fish as well. Also its good quality food!
Poor services
Best breakfeast and great price. The waitresses are great here.
Consistently good. Friendly staff
From the last time I ordered from this location Aug 2023 the cost has gone up to $38 for 2, and the cod fish n chips dinner enjoyment was disappointing overall. The batter was sticking to the codfish I had to scrap the fish off the batter which was hard and the fish tasted like it had freezer burn on it. I have had freshly caught cod in NFLD flash frozen that was way better. Even a serving of Captain Highliner fish deep fried at home would have been better with No Name french fries!! I visited this location Sunday 11/12/2023 i threw out chunks of hard batter and dried up fries. I was very disappointed with the server not getting my order right several times and spending so much money on a bad fish n chip dinner. I will simply be better off next time with Pan fried Fish from Captain Highliner for $6.99 and No Name french fries costing $4.99.
Food is very nice with homemade French fries,Fish Crispy and amazing with homemade Terrace Sauce. I love it
It would be better if not for covid but the food is excellent and the takeout is a huge portion, staff are friendly.
Not the best fish and chips place. Fries are always under cooked. Could be a little more crisper.
Always good fish and chips the best in oshawa
The waitress was phenomenal, the food was very good
Always great, friendly service, always perfectly cooked.
The food was good and the prices are very reasonable. The server was expedient and polite and I would recommend Halibut House if you want good food at reasonable price.
Good food great service
Great service awesome fish and chips, clean environment
Food was cooked perfectly and place has amazing friendly staff
Great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very clean and bright. The owners Simcoe and Beatrice location Ken and Lyna very friendly. The servers Amanda, Jo and Grace always smiling, friendly and always recommend the best daily special. Great fish and chips specials. Love this place.
Good food. Excellent server. Very friendly. She has sweet cheeks. Lol If she sees this she will remember me.lol
Very expensive for the size of the order
Fresh Food
Great service and nice staff always pleasant and fast with my order. Great fish and chips.
Food was excellent and the service was really quick. Staff was super friendly. Keep up the good work
Buyer beware, the size of the 2 piece Halibut is pretty much the same as the one piece meal, but you will pay $10 more.....fish is really good but this is something I noticed.
Great fish and chips spot! Front staff was very pleasant!
Finest seafood culinary. The food is absolutely amazing and so is the complimentary atmosphere. Doesn t take much time to prepare whatever you like to order. Also there is someone who serves food with a smile and she is like my own mother. I rate you 6/5 for that as well.
Picked up a rider for Uber.
Beautiful, delightful and Delicious!!
Staff are wonderful and the food was hot and fresh. Parking: Parking behind restaurant Food : 4/5 |
Food was fresh and excellent. Service was professional and friendly. Store was spotless. Very clean. Thank you for a great experience. I will be back.
Stopped at this chain location on a Saturday lunch, surprisingly but not busy at all, we re the only customers at this time, friendly casual atmosphere, convenient location with customers parking, close to downtown Oshawa
Best fish and chip specials you can find. Big portions that taste good.
Chips were ok, fish was good. Paid expensive price for a large gravy. When opening bag 30 minutes away, NO gravy, wasn t doing a 1hour round trip to get the gravy. The small things, disappointing. Will be going somewhere else next time.
I GOT TOLD TO WRITE A BAD REVIEW!!! Garbage delivery service! I ordered food at 5:30 and they said 30mins-1hour. I ended up waiting an hour and a half for them to do nothing, I called back at 7:00 and they said we haven t cooked your food yet because our delivery person hasn t answered us back so I e been here waiting for NOTHING! My family is starving and here we are waiting for our food and they can t even call me or anything. Hate this place with a passion now, asked them for something to compensate and got told I should go write a bad review if I don t like it!
The server was very accommodating
Had the 3eggs breakfast with bacon. Everything was cooked to perfection, super fast and the service was great. 5/7 Perfect score. Will definitely visit again.
one item was missing and the fish and chips were quite dark and tasted burnt. I do not recommend .
Feel like fish this is a place to go for sure
Love the food, great customer service, and very clean!
The pieces of fish are of good size I had cod my fav in battered fish I had fish chowder very small take out portion very tasty no spuds n soup whats with that lol Calamari was ok little spicy I like spicy Same Calamari you get at Burrito Boys chain without spicy taste Whish there was one close to me in Brampton
Had dine in! Got the haddock special (reopening special). It was a bit soggy? And broke apart as I tried to eat. Maybe oil wasnt hot enough? Also a lot less fries than I expected. Still good, friendly service and it was quick.
Staff was wonderful. She was polite, friendly and helpful. The food was good too.. A bit pricey but so good
There is a young lady that works there I believe She had some blue hair dye in her hair she is fantastic very bubbly Great service great food
Had take out today and although it was quite a long wait (understandably with it being Good Friday) it was well worth the wait and absolutely delicious!!!!! Definitely recommend this place, was some of the best fish and chips Ive ever eaten
Good friday fish day was busy but they did their best to get the food out fast. Food was good. Only complaint is its expensive compared to others in the area. Thats why only 4 stars
usually order fish and chips from this location. I usually get two halibut and one order of chips which is enough for two people. You get two decent sized portions of fish and the chips are really good. As far as I know prices are competitive. If I order ahead, the meal is always done within the time frame that I am given. The staff are always friendly.
The fish was amazing. Fresh hot and very tasty. The fries and onion rings were so yummy. Restaurant is sparkling clean and nicely decorated.
Excellent food and super waitress Great price and selection. All new decor very bright and cheerful. To be experienced.
Staff is very friendly and easy to order, pickup went smoothly as well
Great food and nice atmosphere, the waitress was just wonderful and the fish battered to perfection.
The waitress did an outstanding job. I will be back
The fish and chips are amazing. The girls at tge country are sper friendly and helpful a great experience over all
Clean, pleasant surroundings, good food and friendly staff. A bit pricey but on the whole, very good.
Exceptional restaurant. I come here regularly when Im craving fish and chips. The prices are good for the quality and quantity of food, especially the daily specials which are a must try. The fish is crispy and the fries are freshly cut. If you like fishnchips, you will love Halibut house!
Friendly and helpful, but you should go here when you are hungry, because you get a lot.
Food and service was great.best onion rings i ever had nice and crunchy. Definitely go back.
Good food decent price
In this last week we Dined in for 5 Had Take out for 3 Sampled Halibut and Chips, Deep fried battered Mushrooms, Onion Rings, and Cheese Garlic Bread All were Absolutely Amazing! All fried foods were cooked to perfection and although we know its not possible they seemed as if they were all grease free Honestly we cant say enough about the quality and taste of the food It Was Fabulous! Service was super friendly, fast and accommodating The dining room was sparkling clean with a comfortable atmosphere We def recommend either dine in or take out 100%
Fish delicious. Service excellent. Greek salad very good.
Great place to eat fish n chips
Excellent fish and chips joint with a friendly staff and atmosphere
Great food, great service
The lady working at the front that took my takeout order was amazing. Very friendly, helpful it was a pleasure to talk with her. She is amazing!
Friendly service, a nice dining area and good prices.
Great, friendly service. Delicious food and lots! Clean atmosphere
Food is delicious. Staff is super friendly. Love the renos!!
Was good.food was good place was clean.it was cold in there. I would go back. If they had the heat on.
Stopped here for a late breakfast, the host was welcoming and friendly. The breakfast food was pretty good.
Nice decor, clean, yummy fries, fish is just ok..
Had not had F&C in forever as my kids dont like fish... well they were out and my wife and I celebrated buying a new Jeep with some dinner. Terrific, made in like 5 mins. So flakey. Moist. 0 to complain about. As usual you are consistently great there. Oshawa institution.
Ok
The food is great
Awesome fish and chips! Breakfast items on the menu at a few locations...really good!
Great food, service, price.
Great prices for there good tasting specials and nice people,
My kids and I absolutely love eating here. Food is great and service is perfect.
The food selection is good, though the quality often has leaves room for improvement. Its not a bad place to go, but mostly its their breakfast menu thats good. Their lunch menu is overpriced and usually not done well.
Good Halibut and fries. Easy walkin and pickup. Wait in A/C.
Friendly service and good food. Proper distancing measures in effect
Im a halibut eater. But was told haddock wasas good if cooked right! I have never liked haddock! I tryed it and yes they cooked it and tasted as good as halibut!! Im shocked
The food is excellent and the service is amazing.
Fish too oily, full of flour, just awful and too expensive.
Asked for tartar sauce when I placed my order and asked again when I picked it up. Was told everything was in the bag. Got back to work and not a tartar sauce to be found. Very disappointing. I even gave a tip. Never again.
The best! A little pricey but its worth it.
Congratulations to reopen after renovation, delicious fish & fries!
Doors open but no AC. Odd parking
Four bucks for a CAN of pop? At that price I don t care what the food tastes like.
It was great
I go for breakfast all the time...great prices
I have never seen a restaurant so badly managed. I went in 3 months ago and waited over 1 half hour for my take out as supposedly they forgot my order. The counter person was extremely rude, I asked for my money back and the refused and she made out like it was my fault. I waited 3 months to go back and again had to wait almost 25 minutes for my take out order, I was the only one in the restaurant and again the counter person was rude when I complained about the amount of time it took for my order . The restaurant had no air conditioning and the debit machine was not working. I will never go back.
Good fish and chips
Nothing fancy, good food and fair prices.
It was terrible. 50 bucks for breakfast and fish and chips. The breakfast sausage qas rotten. The server was pleasant, fish was ok. Last visit for me.
Service was great fantastic breakfast
Good Halibut. Fast service.
So first time going to halibut house and i have to say im not impressed. The fish tasted like it had been frozen and processed. It did not taste like halibut. The waitress was amazing she tried to accomodate us but the owners wouldnt budge on making things right, basically you ordered it you pay for it. Would NOT return. I would give 0 stars but it would not allow it.
I would rate this place 0 if I could I ate there tonight August 20 2019 and it was horrible I am not a big fish eater but I do enjoy the occasional halibut it was not flaky it was a perfect square and it was very fishy and if you know halibut these thing are not good,it cost me 20 bucks for 2 bites of fish and maybe 7 fries just really bad,on the other hand our waitress was excellent and truly tried to get my meal reduced but the owner would have no part of it I have never seen perfect squares of fish in a fish and chip place
I had the haddock and chips and it came with a good amount of fries and one huge piece of fish. You can get another piece of fish for like 4 bucks (I might be a few bucks off) but one is definitely enough for most people. They also give you a small amount of coleslaw. The fish was well cooked with a light, crispy battered shell that had really good flavour. I had to dock one star because the fries were not as crispy as I wouldve liked (probably not double-cooked), plus they only had generic tartar sauce in little packets. Homemade tartar sauce is easy to make (mayo and relish, basically) and tastes a lot better. Still, the service was fast and the staff was very friendly.
Service was good. Really quick to get our food. It was really good.
I love this location as me and my boyfriend go every Sunday for breakfast. Severs is fantastic and the price is great and the food is done correctly. Occasionally we go the same day for the fish special for $8 and as alway is was fantastic. This is the place for great fish and the portions is hugh. The fish batter is not over done or too thick and lots of fresh fries. I was recommended by a friend and I will not go anywhere else.
Good hot large delicious portions. Simple and clean. Friendly caring staff.
It was great the food and service was wonderful friendly and clean all that you could ask for
Very good service
Always very good.
A great, reasonably priced, unpretentious, mom and pop Fish $ Chips restaurant in Oshawa...they also serve great hamburgers as well. I really like this sleepy, friendly restaurant!
Awesome food. Friendly staff.
Great service food was ok
The food is nothing to write home about and the price does not match the quality or lack thereof.
Far too expensive for second rate food.
Was ok.
Great breakfast
Awesome as always
fish crispy batter friendly service my favourite fish and chip restaurant.
Delicious and real Halibut with crunchy and tasty fries and old-fashioned cole slaw for $16 plus tax. Friendly service and a no-stress, relatively quiet atmosphere.
Delicious haddock and great service. My only regret is that I have been living in Oshawa for a couple years and only today tried this place. It is a clean, quiet diner that I will be visiting again soon.
