Well I was banned from this location today. As I was told by Sandra at the request of the owner. First time I went back in a month, the server, Sandra was going out for a smoke as I was walking in, left me there for about 10 minutes before she came back in. Went in with my sis and great nephew, they didn’t have chocolate milk, My great nephew wanted pancakes, Didn’t have syrup either. Went in a 3rd time, a different girl was there, she was fantastic, I believe she said her name was Kim. . Went in again, , Sandra walked by the table and basically threw the silverware on the table. Didn’t once get asked for more coffee, how my meal was… but I’m the problem. I don’t think so. I need to add how from the get go i was treated with an horrible attitude. I'm not one to sit back and take being treated that way. I will apologize how i reacted but as an customer, no guest should be approached in the manner I was. I also have not heard from anyone from the Halibut House.
It's not bad. But my thoughts this. To really stand out in the fish and chips market you have an opportunity to elevate your dish to be memorable . Things like home made coleslaw and house made tatar sauce. I don't know how to say it. There's no tart in the tartar sauce. Very flat or bland. The fish and chips themselves are what I. expected.
Excellent food, good customer service, fast service, good food portions. Awesome and highly recommended 👍
Go here for the breakfast special The food is great and service us excellent. Fish and chips are superb! Best location!!!
I’m from the South so my idea of fried fish is a bit different than this place. That being said, the halibut was good, big filet and cooked well. We had garlic bread, coleslaw, and sweet potato fries (with vinegar) on the side. What really stood out was the employee helping us. I didn’t catch her name but she wore glasses and had a short hairstyle. She was very kind and hardworking. Will revisit here next time we’re in Canada.
We had ordered Shrimps and chips, and Haddock fish and chips. Everything was perfect and the food was great. I will definitely come back here again.
I just ordered the halibut fish and chips deal for 2. Amazing service, fresh hot and crispy fish and chips. Nothing like it in a cold snowy night. The lady at reception was very sweet and generous. Five stars👍
Food was great with big portions, and my mom- VERY fussy eater, she LOVED it. Service was excellent
Old school fish and chips the way I used to eat them.
Always reliable and a great price
The food was amazing.
The best fish
Great place
Incredible fish & chips!!
Take out. And excellent fish....
I ordered halibut fish and chips it was so fishy tasting Im 99.9% sure it was not halibut
Friendly staff
Always great food service and value !
Very expensive for what you get. I wont be returning.
Didnt really have any Seasoning or flavoring on the food.
It was my first time here today and I can say I am happy with everything and I will be returning. I recommend seafood lovers to check out this place. We got the daily special today, cod and fries. I have to say I was impressed with the portion. The service was great and the environment was welcoming.
Food tasted good, quick service. Will go again
This place is just okay. They are all the same. For some reason, they give you big square peices of fish that dont even look like actual fish. Love the fries and gravy, though.
Great food and good service
Food was great. Staff was attentive and friendly.
Food was amazing
service was quick and friendly. food was good for a quick meal. their Greek salad was very good.
Halibut has a lite fluffy batter and not too greasy! Chips are good but every time I order the garden salad, it is so refreshing! This location seems better then others.
Nice place to grab breakfast or lunch with friends Parking: Wheel chair close to door and multiple spots around building to park on angel Kid-friendliness: Great for kids Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair buttons and tables great height for wheelchair users.
A great little place to grab fish & chips!
Yummy yum yum
Great, fast, and inexpensive.
Great prices for great food. Never disappointed
Awesome breakfast
Stopped by for a mid afternoon breakfast with the kids and we were pleased with the quick service, tasty food and good portions. We had a Peameal sandwich, chocolate chip pancakes and a breakfast poutine Food
Great Service, Thought I was in Halifax
First time at this particular location. Good food & service, all good.
Were frequent regulars at the oshawa location, and we stopped in tonight for dinner and the waitress on shift tall, shorrt brown hair, glasses around 645 pm unsure of her name but came to take our order. I ordered 2 piece fish and chips and the waitress responded are you really going to eat all of that? And I responded yes, if not I take it home. And she had responded shocked. Just for the price was a better deal to order the meal than just fish and coleslaw. But what kind of waitress asks that? Made me very uncomfortable and honestly quite upset. I really like this place however with staff like that Ill reconsider my decision.
We are frequent patrons of this restaurant and consistently order the same items. However, during our most recent visit, we encountered an unpleasant situation with a new server who questioned my partners dietary preferences. This incident left both of us feeling quite dissatisfied. Furthermore, the quality of the food was subpar. It arrived soggy and wet, the fries were cold, and the coleslaw was bland. The tartar sauce was also watery. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially considering the high cost of $86. Regrettably, both of us have been feeling unwell since our visit, and we are uncertain if it is related to the food we consumed.
Great food great service
Halibut house has the best salmon I ever tasted . My granddaughter just loves the haddock and fries its our favorite place to eat in Oshawa on Bloor Street
First time going to this location (for breakfast) and may turn into our local spot for daily breakfast! The daily special (1 egg, choice of meat, toast and potatoes) is very generous on portion size. Same goes for their Grand Slam Combo (3 eggs, all meat). Eggs benedict was also ordered and was impressively delicious. Highly recommended, great value!
The portion size is smaller than before, but the taste level has not dropped.
Highly recommend this restaurant if in the Oshawa area
They have an amazing breakfast and the waitress Sandra is also amazing she takes really good care of us
Good food
Some of the best fish & chips my mother and I have ever had.
Great prices, food and service, staff are always pleasant.
One of the most underrated places to go to for breakfast. Their portions and price make it an easy fit for me. Servers were friendly. If your going for fish and chips always order the halibut, the extra price is always worth it.
Great food, best fish and chips in the region
Excellent service and really good food. Very pleasantly surprised. This was my first time here. Fish batter was light and perfectly cooked. Would definitely go back.
Love their chips! Fish is great also!
Fish good fries needed to be cooked a little more Parking: Okay Food : 4/5 |
Breakfast was the best, clean washrooms, very pleasant experience. Highly recommended!!! The waitress was wonderful also.
Ever since they opened up multiple locations the food quality isnt as great. A little less tasty but the prices sure climbed. My son found his potatoes under cooked and tasteless, his toast wasnt fully toasted and his scrambled eggs were quite runny Food
My husband and myself go here at least 3 to 4 times a week they have an amazing breakfast deal. We were here this morning our waitress to us. Sandra was very good.She is very pleasant and friendly always asking us if everything is OK.she is very good at her job always cleaning and filling stuff. This us my go to place. Parking: Parking is very good here Kid-friendliness: The staff are always very good with the kids. When I bring my granddaughters in they always talk to them and ask them how they are
Solid specials, all you can expect from a fish and chips spot and the staff were very friendly! Will be back!
The Cod was delicious. Halibut is also very good, just really expensive.
Food was fresh hot and tasty. All you can ask for. Parking: Ive never experienced there not being available parking. Food : 5/5 |
Excellent place to dine in. Food was awesome. The staff were very friendly. Kid-friendliness: High chair, kid friendly staff Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Excellent halibut and chips. Very pleasent waitress.
Prices are up way up as is the case every where. It appears that they are having a big sale 2 for 1 next month might have to take advantage of there offer.
Was there june 1 worst halibut fish &chips Ive ever had never ate it couldnt even cut the fish with a knife just paid 2400 and left never going back
Overall such a great experience! The Halibut was so good ! Thats beautiful crunch with the fluffy inside . The fries were crispy and delicious as well! One of the if not thee best fish and chips in Oshawa I have had the pleasure of eating.
Good service, friendly atmosphere. Had the lunch halibut. It was light batter and good. I will go back.
Very good
Excellent fresh food and great service.
Nice dinner feel and reasonable prices! Food portions are huge, and staff is very friendly!
Need better bacon for the breakfast
The food here is always amazing good. Service is excellent. My Mother and mine favorite stop in our area. Kid-friendliness: Treat kids extra special. Make them feel welcome
Get the breakfast! Its insane
Great food and great place to eat we get delivery all the time at work around the corner
Wish I could give 0 stars! Received a coupon for buy 1 halibut lunch get another for half price so decided to take my dad there and give it a try. When we presented the coupon the waitress said it was a misprint and instead of $13.95 it was actually $14.95. We let that slide, and then we were told we couldnt upgrade the fries to a salad for $2 as stated on the menu because it doesnt apply when you use a coupon! Lol, ok whatever! Anyway turns out their halibut was most certainly not halibut! It was terrible but we decided to just bite the bullet and eat the meal and get out of there without making a scene. I had several indicators to just leave before we ordered so will chalk this one up to lesson learned. My advice is to save your money and get a filet o fish instead, at least you know what youre getting and how much youll be paying. The owner of this restaurant should be embarrassed!
The food was fresh and well cooked with a great flavor.
The Halibut, tho To Die For, here! Fast, Friendly service and great food for a decent price. Highly Recommended!
Very clean. Shiny. Floors and kitchen are spotless. Friendly staff. Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp is accessible. Close to parking and the front door. Food : 5/5 |
Amazing breakfast
Very good place for fish and chips... loved it
The special is the perfect size for me. One egg, your choice of bacon, ham, or sausage, hash browns, and your choice of white, brown, or rye toast. All for $5.
Great service awesome food
I am thrilled to have Halibut House in my wonderful little town of Brooklin, Ontario Canada. Restaurant is very very clean, excellent service and delicious and flavourful food. Thank you for opening your eatery here. eatery here
Had a very good time here. Food was great. Service was wonderful. Thank you
The breakfast here is pretty good especially if you get the garlic potatoes. Which people dont know about. I think they changed their bacon though :(. Very thin. Still good. Fish n chips here is always good :). Place is clean and the staff are great.
Hands down the best breakfast in the area. The eggs are always fresh and cooked to perfection exactly as requested; the piping hot potatoes crispy on the outside and soft inside, the sausage rich and juicy. The welcome is warm and the service outstanding; I felt like a regular from my second visit on.
Good breakfast .
Best Halibut
Well-maintained restaurant. Very nice customer service. The Fish and chips were fresh and yummy!! The Tartar sauce was so good.
Great food and ample serving size.
I got the halibut n chips & a side coleslaw. The food was delicious. My fish was cooked perfectly The best part though was the service. The most wonderful waitress, Carrie, did me a huge favor & delivered my food to me at home. I had an accident & currently cannot walk on my own. Carrie went above & beyond and offered to bring me my lunch after her shift. She is such a sweetheart. This world needs more people like her, someone who truly cares about the customers. Great job
Ordered take out. Food was hot and fresh. Very tasty. Batter wasnt too thick on the fish and thats what I like. Server was very nice, friendly and professional. Restaurant was very clean inside. We will be back.
We order tonight, Best Fish and chips ever. Large portions! Will definitely be getting again!
Been going for years. Good food good prices
Fresh fish. Great food.
Consistantly good fish and chips every Friday when we go. Light crispy batter and fresh moist fish. Fries look and taste freshly cut.
Fabulous fish and chips!
Amazing house special. Chinese guy so friendly and servicing. I love this place
Superior Best waitress ever
Good quality fish and chips friendly staff clean environment.
Crispy and delicious halibut! Best consumed right away
This place was great!! Service excellent. We had halibut and chips. The fish was perfect lightly batarded. You give it a try.
Great food, great staff
Expensive but good food
Food is ok
Love the halibut and chips, friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, decent prices.
Was here a few years ago and it was ok, the new menu is great, really enjoyed this breakfast!!
Good fish & chips with large portions. Will definitely go back
WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!!! it has changed so much quality has decreased fish is terrible I feel this location has just gone under so fast in the last few years with being cheap on quality after the pandemic
Deliscious food. Crispy batter. Great service. Lovely waitress. Definitely coming back.
Food was good but waited almost 30 minutes for my food and there where only 4 other customers
Halibut/Haddock and chips was great! Service was friendly and price is moderate. Clean restaurant, well lit with good air conditioning.
Best fish ever, love it!
Great food and service was great!
The Halibut House is awesome, but Halibut is not cheap.you can get less expensive dishes though
Ordered the Sunday Special, first time there, staff was nice, polite and the halibut was great and quantity perfect, will snap a photo next Sunday. Price was as good as the food!
Always consistent fresh and delicious
Went today it was gross my breakfast tasted like creamer and mayo . waitness was rude !!!! Never going here again !!!!
Family breakfast, We found it to be friendly, clean,
Good food and staff. Affordable decent quality breakfast.
The Halibut House is amongst my favorite stops. They always provide me with the greeters welcome. They do that for everyone. No matter how many people are in there they always provide exceptional customer service. The only knock on these chains is you have to come a certain day to receive certain types of specials. Unless youre order the Senior Special. Thats every day. Their breakfast are done well. Prices are good for Breakfast. The fish can be pricey depends on how much youre ordering. The more you buy the more costs are tied into it. A saving there would be really good.
Atmosphere is a bit old taverns country style. But the customer service is great and the food is served fresh been there at least three times while I venture in Oshawa and havent been dissapointed in the taste of the food. I just wished the Cesar salad portion was larger along with the Haddock or sole but overall its good spot. they have good breakfast deals which Im unable to enjoy due to timing but one day I hope to try it out.
Fish was very dry
Fish was very thin and dry
No delivery???? A Seriously bad decision considering the times
Was looking on the google page, seen that the delivery option was not available. I called the restaurant, asked when called, why that is. Turns out yes there is delivery available, just a mistake. Ordered fish and chips for my daughter and I. Was delivered for the time asked for. Hot & delicious. The buy one halibut and chips and get the second half price is still on.
The fish and chips were amazing,huge piece of Cod with a very light batter so you really get the taste of the delicious fish,bit pricy though,but a real treat
For the price, the food and quantity was good. But zero salt and pepper in any of the food.
Best around
Nice people, the fish was good lightly batterd but small, flat like a pancake
Food was good, portion was big n super friendly service, definitely will be going back.
Horrific ! My husband went in and ordered 2 - 2pc Halibut and chips for take out and gave them a generous tip ! Get it home - not what we ordered - got 2 - 1pc fish and chips . The fish is definitely not halibut - it was a pressed flat square! Called them about correcting our order and got told we could SAVE the other ones for another time ! What ! How does that work ! That doesn t feed my family of four NOW ! Sorry- it was good before Covid but now .. won t bother wasting my time .
Really lovely and clean place to meet up with friendsand enjoy a meal spending time chatting
Also open for dine-in. Went to the only other Halibut House for dine-in so didnt want to order same thing. Weird that McD in neighbourhood isnt even open for walk in service, let alone dining in, but these two independently owned and operated places are (area left lockdown week or so ago as of this visit). Remember to support your local businesses! Ordered dish that was removed from menu but they could still make it! (not telling :-) and that gets them the fifth star! I usually only give 4 because there is always room for improvement but these guys went out of their way to make money today.
First time in awhile we ve been able to dine in and it was great. We were wanting something different and had a craving for fish and chips. We both had the seafood platter, which has a piece of haddock, 3 shrimp, 3 scallops and fries. I substituted onion rings for $2 more. Fish was perfect, nice light batter. Great service. We will be back
I enjoyed my meal and a great service
Good service
Sole was fantastic and a great special
The staff are friendly. The fish and chips are delicious. I gave four stars because the packaged tartar sauce is disappointing.
Nice staff and great food
Great service and food
Best cod fish i had it was delicious
Ordered halibut for the three of us. Spending 100 bucks to get home and find raw potatoes and under cooked fish. Had to re cook the fish and fries...brought my sons food back and was told what do you want me to do about it....every time there is something wrong with the food people bring it back....that is what the owner said. And my reply was ok so others bring food back...and the owner said nope never your the first. I will never come back.
Nice place good food
As always, fresh
We ordered last night the halibut..it was amazing..such large portions..and when l called in my order the lady was so friendly..will definatly be ordering from there again
We had lunch, fish and chips (take out) yesterday. We were thrilled to finally find a place that served real fries and the fish was lovely, lightly battered perfectly, yummy will be going back here soon. My husband said the waitress was run off her feet but was doing a fantastic job and still smiling. Thank you
Great Plc
Great service. Great food
I enjoyed my breakfast and coffee. The waitress was every polite and professional. The meal was great at a decent price. I will be back.
Best fish and chips in the city
Nice place
Great breakfast and service, thank you!
Got a halibut fish and chips and poutibe Nice big portion.Fish was nice and fresh and poutine was great. Server was super sweet as well. Would definitely go back!!
Friendly servers looked clean covid protocol in effect enjoyed my meal
Delicious food, super friendly service. It was a happy accident that we happened on this restaurant as we traveled through the area. Definitely recommend
Weve always wanted to get into the Halibut House and we traveled to Oshawa for the weekend and we are not disappointed. Fantastic food, great service very friendly. We had lunch but going back for supper. Well have to try the one in Kingston when we get home.
Friendly and fast service
very nice waitress great atmosphere. Food is great there not greasy
Very good portsions
Fast, friendly service, lits of specials, and yummy! Our go to for fish and chips since moving to oshawa!
The fish is always good and friendly customer service
Pretty disappointing. Our regular fish and chip place was closed and decided to try here. It was very greasy, and bland tasting. We got the 2 halibut 1 chip take out, and I am 100% positive this is not halibut. It doesn t taste right, and furthermore it looks like strips of white fish flattened together. Will not be returning. Lesson learned.
It was my first time here and it was the best fish and chips I had. I will definitely go back.
Great food never had food issues.
Servers were very friendly.
Sorry to say....I was not happy at all. The fries were not cooked through, the halibut was really greasy. On the positive side, the slab of halibut was a really nice size. $20 for 1 piece of fish and a boxful of fries and a coleslaw. Sorry guys, I wont be back.
