Fin City Fish & Chips in Owen Sound

Yummy

Huge portions. Excellent food at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended for your Fish and Chips fix. Parking: Excellent, great onion rings, very friendly staff. Very clean. Highly recommended.

The only thing that was good was the chicken poutine as the gravy has no flavour but the rest of the food was good

Great fish and chips.

Good prices good fish and chips . Parking: Lots of free parking. Kid-friendliness: Yuppers Wheelchair accessibility: Yuppers

Great lunch special every day. Haddock, fries and coleslaw with a drink for $12.99

Great place. Great people. Great food. I ordered takeout and the woman who took my order didn t close my boxes until I arrived so that my food didn t get soggy Awesome gravy

Best fish and chips we had for a long time

The staff was friendly with big welcoming smiles.

Worst fish and chips ever!! The only reason for two stars is the side order of cesar salad had real bacon bits and the portion was very generous. The fish was rubbery, the fries werent fresh, the coleslaw had so much dressing it was like a soup, and although the table, floors and bathroom looked clean, they were all sticky. Gross!! Will never go back!!

I asked for Philly cheese steak sandwich doesnt come at this place . ok Im ok . But I got the wrap .. I didnt get cheese on my wrap. Thanks for that. And your attitude suck today you where pretty snarly. I dont want to return. Thank you.

Delicious

Got fish and chips with coleslaw +, got an apple crumble caramel desert for someone close whos been trying to survive on hospital slop for a long time. Very appreciative, ate almost all of it, polished off the dessert. The only minus, not enough coleslaw was included, but it was delicious from what I heard. Waitress was exceptional. Will definitely come here again, (hopefully soon). Thanks. Even hospital staff walking by were complimenting the aroma. They were envious, asked if I brought more. Just an update. Food still great, price a tad more expensive, but understandable. I give a 0 star review for designating me with a pronoun on my bill. Not impressed with this nonsense.

Very disapointed. Ive been to this location a few times before. Last time we had take out and the fries were soggy from the fish sitting on top of them in the box. This time i was suprised at the price of the 2pc fish and chips. $24. I could see if this was a higher end restaurant. But this place us just and old outdated restaurant. We sat down and i noticed the table top was all sticky, like they had washed the surface with syrup or something! When the waitress came by to take our order i asked her if she could wipe it down cause it was sticky. She answered oh no! Thats just the way it is, it doesnt come off. I couldnt beleive it, after touching the table next to us, i realized it was the same thing! Thats disgusting, who wants to eat at a sticky table. I have to wonder if its from all the germ killer spray and chemicals they used during covid? But either way those tables need to go. Nobody wants to pay those prices to eat at a sticky table. Also something new since the last time eating inside, they have like 2 of those casino game machines that people are sitting at and playing ??, it was noisy and people talking between themselves and yelling yeh! This is no way for my husband and i to enjoy our dinner. I felt like i was in a dive bar. Now as for the food, fries looked like they had been fried twice, very dark and very crispy..many little crumbs and small peices hard as rock. I was not impressed. The fish didnt taste the greatest like maybe it had been frozen too long? The tartar sauce was lukewarm which made me wonder if it was safe to eat. It wax just a horrible dinner and experience to be honest. I left no tip but did not complain either but i wont be going back either. Better ways to spend my hard earned dollars. I remember the first time we went there a few years ago and we were served by the owner himself, he had told us how he sourced his fish directly from the east coast and it was always fresh..and i have to agree it was delicious back then, but now everything has gone downhill.

Great local fish and chips spot. We live 2 minutes away so having a reliable shop is great

Ordered the cod fish and it tastes soooo bad. They don t season their food just put it in the deep fryer. I wasted my money. And my fries are dark and burnt look like they gave me the last bit of fries that s in the deep fryer. If you want good food , don t go here

Good Friday - March 29, 2024

I recently had the Halibut take out dinner from Fin City. Ive had the same thing there on several occasions. The fish was always great not greasy and lots of both fish and chips. This time the fish was all thick breading and a very very small bit of fish. Almost all breading. I dont usually rate meals but the owners need to know that something is wrong here. This was not a good meal

The fish as always is great. Good size portions at reasonable price. They once made a mistake with my takeout order but promptly corrected it.

Fish was mostly batter and IM SURE the fries were reheated!!!! Terrible food for the money i spent!!!!!

Ive had the halibut with fries , and the haddock with onion rings so far, and theyre both quite delicious! Extremely enjoyable!

We ordered two luncheon specials (1 piece haddock, fries and coleslaw) for take out. The entire meal was excellent and the best value for the buck of any fish & chips that I have had in the area in years. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We will definitely be return customers.

Award winning :)

Twice in one week they had no buns or bread.

My favorite fish and chips place in Owen Sound. Reasonable prices, great portions, delicious food.

Great special

great fish, good portions Ill be back Parking: lots of parking Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly

We order perch halibut dinner Over the top full Are stomach is full with left overs Hats off to cook and friendly service We will definitely be back Thank you

Fries were good. Fish was falling apart overcooked. So therefore I did not get my fish craving fulfilled. Food

Up for a wknd visiting, stop here and your fish and chips are awesome! Friendly service

Amazing hospitality amazing food. I dont see why they shouldnt be at 5 stars right now.

I definitely recommend this place. the fish is cooked to perfection the atmosphere is very friendly.

Great food good service and decent prices...

Great portion of cod, perfectly battered and cooked. Fries were cooked well and perfectly seasoned. Thank you!

Ordered through Skip the Dishes, did not receive my full order. I get a credit next time I eat there??

I rarely leave bad reviews but I m doing so in hopes things change for the better, this place has great potential! Our server was lovely and helpful and the layout is cozy. However the fish we got was bland, mushy in the middle and so was the desert, texture of the food was like if it was frozen ? As a former culinary student I would humbly recommend making deserts in house instead of bringing in frozen, taste/texture difference is night and day especially on a simple classic like créeme brûlée, very low cost ingredients to make. For the Fish it would be ok to prep everything the night before- make a nice home made batter for fish- and leave in fridge over night ready to cook next day. Sure buying frozen is a lot easier, but In the long run it will give you a lot of one time customers. That extra effort, can go a very long way where you have a base of faithful customers who love your fresh and tasty food! Thanks again for reading Godbless :)

Went in just as they were closing but they still took my order with a smile. Fish and chips were very good

This is the third time we have had food here. Tartar sauce is too much mayo. Fish is greasy and not to mention first time we didn t get gravy for a poutine for takeout. 3 tries and never been able to say. We should go back. Won t be back now. Batter covers up how fish you re actually getting. Very disappointed

The workers here are always super friendly, helpful and the food is always fantastic!

We arrived Thursday evening 6:15ish. Hope (our server) seated us right away and provided menus. We both ordered the Haddock fish & chips. Arrived 10 minutes later. Came with creamy cole slaw, tarter sauce and lemon wedge. Food was delicious. Hope checked on us a couple of times during dinner. We packed away some leftovers and took the skor cheesecake to go. Michelle came from the kitchen to make sure we were happy with our meals. We were! Great value, great food and great service! Thx!

We ate here for the first time on Friday, the waitress was very friendly and very efficient. Made sure we were well looked after. We both had the 2pc haddock and fries, the food arrived promptly and was very hot and very delicious. The decor is not much but highly recommend the food we will definitely be back

Great food, great service, absolutely loved the nostalgic atmosphere. Everything I would expect from a fish and chip joint in Owen Sound. Never change. Food

Excellent quality fish (halibut) and chips.

Ordered take out. Best cod Ive had in a long time. Generous portion sizes.

good food but they don t pickup the phone or take orders on skip the dishes or doordash

Not good taste for desi people

Large portions for a really reasonable price Clean atmosphere with very friendly service Food

Food is Okish I have had better fish n chips at other places Cashier was rude and arrogant. Instead of welcoming guests; she kept scaring away customers telling them it will take too long to prepare a meal. Plus rude attitude. Food : 4/5

Great spot

Disappointed- ordered the fish and chip dinners to go and get home to find out it was missing the lemon slice , tartar sauce and coleslaw in both meals which made for a blah dinner , called a few days later and not much of a response or apology.

When I entered, the first thing I noticed was the decor. It was PERFECT. Just enough to look nice but not so much that it s overwhelming. Unfortunately, they didn t have any halibut until their truck arrived, which is understandable. Just goes to show that the food is fresh. I ordered the 1PC Cod Fish & Chips with an Iced Tea. The Iced Tea arrived a few minutes later, and after like 10-15 minutes the food arrived. And it was HUGE. Like 3/4 of the plate was fries, with the fish plated on top. It came with coleslaw, gravy, tartar sauce, and a lemon wedge. The portion size was absolutely worth the $10.99 that I paid for it. Now, onto the food. The cod and tartar sauce were good, nothing surprising there. What did surprise me was the fries and gravy. For context, I m not a huge fan of fries. Most of the time, fries are too salty for my taste. THESE FRIES WERE AMAZING. They weren t too salty, weren t floppy like fast food fries, just genuinely really good fries. And the gravy was incredible. I think it was beef gravy (don t quote me on that) but it was INSANELY good. The only sorta weak part of the dish was the coleslaw; it wasn t bad per se, but I ll admit that I ve had better. Overall, I absolutely recommend this place. Even if you don t like fish, the fries alone are worth coming here for.

A must try

Great taste and portions

Good portions and overall good prices but the batter on the fish was way too thick. It was like biting into a chicken ball all batter. Fries were a lot of little pieces not many long fries and tartar sauce was mainly mayo very little relish I have had a lot better from this place hope they pick up their game dont know if I will go back though

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!! I cannot even review the food because I never received it !! On Tuesday September 19th , I placed an order with Fin City in Owen Sound through Skip the Dishes for delivery . 10 minutes later , I received an email from Skip , stating that my order was cancelled because they could not get in touch with the restaurant !! Before placing the order , I had checked on the restaurant website , which claimed that it was open at that time ( it was before 6 p.m - the website states that it is open until 8 p.m. ). As I was in a motel , I went without dinner that night . And Im still trying to get my money back from Skip . I will NEVER order from Fin City Owen Sound restaurant again - if youre open , you should be communicating with the delivery service when an order comes in . UNBELIEVABLY SHABBY AND UNACCEPTABLE FAILURE OF SERVICE!!

Very good fish, great chips. Will visit qgain

good food ,good service at a fair price 10 out of 10 would recommend!!!

Food is good, affordable. However, they have recently added slot machines to the dining area. If I wanted to eat in a casino, I d go to Rama.

Great staff and cozy restaurant but fish and chips too greasy.

Wheres the fish? Two pieces of fish barely a mouth full of fish in each, all batter. Very disappointing wont be back.

Not happy at all have been faithfully getting these fish and chips for over 2 years now will not be going back mostly thick batter hardly any fish inside the thick batter fries were very well done and dry and we only received one coleslaw for dinner for two and we always get halibut which is most expensive they lost a good customer would not recommend to anyone now

Fish and chips the way it should be. Selection of types of fish, good sized portions. Will probably eat here again.

Great food huge portions and amazing staff! Would definitely recommend.

Fish is fantastic, thick piece and tasty

Love this restaurant really good fish

We had fish and chips take out for a birthday dinner and it was delicious! Crispy batter and chips and a nice light coleslaw. It was perfect and would definitely eat here again.

Loved it just awesome food

Had the halibut fish and chip dinner. Fries were a little salty, but the fish itself was amazing. Prices are fair and the hours are longer than the other place. Also try their sodas if you can. Edit: Just had a halibut dinner months later and I am wondering where the quality went? The pieces were small and the fries were all brown. I paid a lot of money for this and my money just felt wasted. Probably wont order from there again.

Had fish and chips the last day before lockdown.

Had halibut fish and chips about 3 months ago and was very pleased. Good portions and excellent meal. Ordered again last night and was very disappointed, fish serving was extremely small ,not even close to being a reasonable meal serving. For the price it was a Hugh disappointment.

Love their food. They were so nice and gave my husband a dessert for his birthday. Definitely eating here again.

Price was good, speed was good as I walked in last minute on a Friday night! I know the kitchen is hot, but I do enjoy pandemic safety of staff wearing masks.

The halibut and chips are incredible. Probably the best fish o have ever had. And the fries are the perfect fresh cut fries. I will be back again.

Very nice

Very good food, decent prices. And the wait staff was second to none. Well worth a visit

I had halibut and fries there tonight and it was AMAZING. The waitress was SO nice as well! Very friendly and good food!

Amazing food -- even better customer service. Owners should look into adding Newfie Fries to the menu. Would likely be a hit around town :)

Was really excited to try this place out, but man what a disappointment. Called at 6 was told pickup at 6:35. Arrived at 6:35. Was told they were running behind 15 minutes. Ok. No big deal 45 minutes later i finally got..... Disgusting overdone fish that was drowning in oil.....i mean drowing.....the poutine was ok, but we didnt get the chicken poutine we ordered. We ate, but only out of desperation. Hungry tired kids and a month of grease later and we wont be heading back to this restaurant

Very busy staff were excellent food was delicious

Amazing as always!! I was able to place my order a few days early for Good Friday, as I knew they would be busy and wanted to avoid the rush. I ordered the halibut family meal and my order was ready to go when I arrived and was absolutely delicious!! Large portions, great taste even we had left overs!! This is the only fish and chips place we ever go to!!!

Best fish and chips

one of the worst places to get food in town The fish is oily and disgusting, and the fries arent much better

This is the first time we were at this establishment. We had the Halibut and fries. The meal was awesome, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone. Hands down the best Fish in town.

Great service, awesome food, large portions.

this place s amazing great portions great servise there was a young man working the other week by himself and made sure my husband and I were taken care of making sure we had everything checing in on us seeing if there was anything he could do to make our experience better it was perfect te fries were a little brown but thats what yo get when you have home cut fies we will be back for sure cute cook great service amazing food people need to eat here more often my husband fell inlove with the fries more than the fish and the service provided even tho semi busy was excellent we will be backand hope for more of those home cookeed fries what ever you guys are doing dont change or stop please

I have had better but have also had worse the chicken wings were good though

Very good food, and awesome service

Super bummed. Usually love the food here but just received my order and its soggy, undercooked and rubbery. I even specifically requested it to be crispy, but instead I was sent something that had clearly been sitting around for a while. None if its even remotely warm and skip wont allow it to be exchanged for a new one. Would have been perfectly happy to just give this one back in exchange for a properly cooked meal.

This place is seriously underrated it should be 5 stars... came here second time and it was delicious one of the best place for fish and chips in Ontario. Portions are huge and satisfying thanks for this gem..

Great fish

I bought a medium fries and they gave the equivalent of a small in a box of medium. the fries are overcooked and they were black. Im disapointed

Worst halibut fish and chips we have ever had! Fish was so dry like leather! Fries taste and look like they had been sitting there all day! Wont be ordering again!

Sunday July 31. Great atmosphere with friendly staff and delicious fish and chips. 4 different kinds of fish. I have to say that, there is a polite and friendly young lady who is working there.thank you

Food was good,and lots of it.

So I am in Owen Sound on business and decided to get fish and chips. What a better meal to get in a lakeside community. So I googled best fish and chips and up popped FinCity. Well they must do things in reverse order around here. The halibut and chips was by far the absolute worst fish and chips that I have ever had. The soggy, grossly thick batter was as if I was chewing on a wet triple folded paper towel. By the time I got down to where the actual fish was it was tasteless and chewy. The fries were horrible too; soggy, greasy, burnt oil taste with some bonus crusty pieces from previous meals. If you like fish and chips DO NOT GO HERE. Most of my meal went into the garbage; pretty sure that s where it belongs.

Last two visits were awful. Have they changed staff? Here was my 1st review: My hubby and I were in the mood for English style fish and chips and we were not disappointed! Great portion size, friendly staff and the lightest batter on the halibut! I ordered one piece and he ordered two.... and we brought some home too! Parking: Plenty of parking right at the store.

Worse place to eat. Place is dirty and flies are flying around. Don t recommend.

So I found the lady at the counter a bit rude and uptight with no sense of humour. The menu on google is outdated and my meals were $2.00 more then when I arrivedc their website doesn t even disclose the prices. Gravy was $.90 for a small and my small was half full but it was delicious. Fish was greasy and some fries were over cooked and some were ok

Good food and pretty good sevice

It was okay the mac and cheese bites we expensive for 6 but tasty had Tuesday special for pick up wasnt given drink coleslaw was not good imo fries and gravy were very good fish was good small peice but for 10 bucks I enjoyed enough to try it again

Absolutely the worst fish and chips around! All batter and extremely tough fish, and the chips were cold and they were what you would get at the end of the shift, the crusty gristle..couldnt even eat them. The whole meal tasted like it had been sitting for days! Will NEVER eat here again!!

Good portions sizes and just the right amount of batter. Very happy with this place

Great battered fish!

Brutal. 2nd time I travel across town to buy lunch and they are closed despite hours on door saying open. Yet a sign on the door says call for take out but nobody answers. Phone message won t allow for messages. Why can t the phone message be updated daily to say if they are open or not? Gas and time wasted.

Omgosh! Split halibut dindin with my PA! More than enough to fill our tummies! Cooked to perfect! Real Gravey too...whoo whoot!

A chain restaurant to pick lunch/dinner, special for Fish lovers

Loved the fries. The fish was ok and the prices are reasonable. Staff are very friendly on the phone and in the restaurant.

Very reasonably priced and good portion size. Love the halibut. Staff is very friendly

Ive had the food from here twice, both times I ordered the haddock dinner (halibut was out of stock). Everything tasted fresh, was served with an abundance of fries. The fish-to-batter ratio was on point as well. Reasonably priced, decent portions, and the coleslaw is exceptional too! The staff are friendly and honest. I give this place five stars, and look forward to eating their food again.

Worst fires , soggy fish had that fishy smell as well .

Best fish and chips will be back many times to come.

great service friendly really busy place had sold out of most fish on a Sunday I got take out and it was ready promptly dispute the dining room being full I totally recommend this fish n chip place

First time visiting and it was delicious. Food was fresh and the fries were fresh cut and not frozen. Staff was wonderful. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely family owned and operated atmosphere. Breaded mushrooms and Halibut were delicious! I appreciate not biting into a piece to fish to have my mouth filled with grease and hard overcooked edges. It was very fresh and perfectly put together. The best Fish and chips Ive had in a very long time!!!

Excellent, fish, good size portions, fries are fresh cut, but to heavy on the salt!!

Great food at reasonable prices. And great people working there. Our new go to place for food.

We had the fish and chips (cod) to take out It was really tasty and generous, amazing value for money A loooot of fries (homemade), big pieces of fish, coleslaw and tartar sauce. The lady at the counter was very nice Will definitely come back when in this area

Good fish and chips

Great service and great prices

We were very disappointed by our recent first experience with Fin Citys Owen Sound location (last Friday evening). We looked up their menu online and noted their favourable prices. Encouraged, we tried to phone in our order, but got a message stating that their voicemail could not accept our message, as the mailbox had not been set up. THAT was puzzling! So, we drove to the restaurant. Upon arrival, we observed that many (but not all) tables were occupied, and no lineup. We approached the cashier and shared that wed had trouble trying to call in our order, and wanted to buy three meals for takeout. The cashier literally shrugged and said the their phone was working OK, and that our order would take about 30 minutes. We were quite dismayed by two things; the Staff members couldnt care less lack of concern about both the phone issue and the exceedingly long wait time for an order (when the restaurant did not appear to be overburdened), with no explanations for either of these customer concerns. We left and bought our fish&chips from a competitor (in 1/2 the time). Its not likely that we will return to Fin City!

Tried calling 715 to place an order , no pick up, tried 2mins later, still no pick up, drove from hotel to the restaurant to find this. 728pm and closed. Website until 8pm, the even left the sidewalk sign out. Thank you for being unreliable.

Extremely good fresh Halibut and generous portions

Good food ,nice service !!!

Had seen an ad on FB and was looking forward to trying their fish & chips. Checked the website for the menu. Was disappointed to find they were closed at 5 pm on a Sunday even though the website said they were open. Thankfully I didnt have to drive far to get there.

Waitress very friendly. Food was descent. Will go again.

Fantastic fish and chips. Fresh cut fries. Great service, great prices,

Food was excellent we got halibut and haddock meals, we needed a nap after wards lol. The lady that took my take order was super nice and cost was reasonable and again the food was great, so far best fish we ve had in Owen sound !!

Great food, awesome people and great service. Love the atmosphere and energy from the staff. Matt and Kelsie are both great people and I would definitely come back

Fish and chips here are amazing. Superb taste and good portion. Amazing customer service. Would definitely recommend this place!!

Good food great service I would recommend to anyone who is looking for fish n chips around owen sound area I had to repost this at 4 stars consistency is not what I expected 2 out 4 meals I just had recently really small portions of fish was a bit disappointed the 2nd time going.
