Couple of these joints exist in St John. Was recommended by a friend from Ottawa who travels through here. I had the seafood platter, to give everything a go. Clams and scallops were very good. Best scallops I've had since Digby, NS. The haddock was good, tasty, but a lot of dough. Glad I tried it, I'd go again. The fries look like frozen fries, but they are fresh cut and very well done!

★★

We had the two piece fish & chips. The fish was extremely greasy and heavily breaded. Actual filets were too thin and the oil wasn't quite hot enough to get that lightly dried taste people love with good fish n chips. Fries were not hot like they should have been. Friendly helpful staff yet we didn't feel like sending food back b/c place more of a fast food feel

★★★
July 28, 2024

Portions of fish have gotten smaller. Too much fries.You get enough fries on one order to feed 2 maybe 3 people. It's like they are hiding the small portion of fish. Vert greasy.

★★★★★

This is a really good place to come get a delicious bite to eat! Food portions are very generous, and the staff are always so welcoming and kind. Love this place!

We always visit Deluxe Fish and Chips while on vacation in Saint John. The dining area is very dated, with worn table tops and stationary seating, which makes it uncomfortable for larger patrons. This is far from a healthy meal choice; however. The fish is thickly battered and greasy. The hand-cut fries are hit and miss. They are either cooked perfectly or full of black blemishes.

★★★

Pretty average. A lil soggy fries for it to be called deluxe. Coleslaw tasted like fresh cut grass idk how but it’s supposed to be a good smell, but not when eaten

★★★

Had Deluxe a couple of days ago and the fish was good but the fries were mediocre. Price is good.

If there was a no Starr only negatives I would have chosen a 10 negative . It's awful a guy named Scott cooking wow all I can say I'd love to talk to a owner . I asked for crispy bacon on my clubhouse plate and it was raw because the clerk autumn didn't tell him what I ordered . So I ask for the meal to be remade with crispy bacon then they sent out only a sandwich so the old fries where cold at this point then when I got the sandwich the bacon was but to a crisp almost to the point of setting of the alarm tale a look below very ignorant then when I asked the he cook he somewhat smirked slightly saying well that's crispy so very rudely . All I can say is u never know who a secret shopping so thank u very much for my review with the company . Thank u very discussed

We went in for my first time. They had just closed off the eating in area. Want their fault but really took away my excitement for eating in and treating their food fresh. Ended up taking it to the hotel, where it was cooler. The fries were awesome, fresh cut, and the burger was good Wheelchair accessibility: It wasnt the greatest getting in. Luckily i fit between the stones laid for parking. I couldnt get in on my own. There was a Lip to get in building and had to get someone to open second door so I could get in. Inside was great accessibility wise

I can not comment on the food as I didnt order any due to the manager saying my son could not swap his fries for Onion Rings Every restaurant does this for an upcharge but this man said no. Im not from SJ and this Was the worst Deluxe I have ever walked into in my life and wont be returning, there are too many other great locations that will do this for a child. Completely unprofessional and Ignorant. The woman at the cashier was very nice and tried to help, it was all the manager, he was so rude and didnt care to lose money for the company .

Got my order right except two extra pieces of fish,tried to correct this they took my 3 piece platter out of the bag and tried to give me a two fish platter,i said no I want the 3 piece plus two extra pieces,mean while everything is out of my bag 1/2 the order is ice cold,the manager is hollering at me for holding things up,when all I wanted was what I ordered!so I asked for my money back,she the manager gave me $46 well I had paid on debit $56,I asked for my original receipt 3 times the manager just made fun! So I was willing to take the $46 and leave but now she is playing a game where she is holding the money to get chest and won t give it to me,I had to threaten to call cops before she would hand it over! This happened today April 1 between 3 and 3:45

The food aside I would love to comment on the service. We were those folks who came in close to closing time. The staff working were gracious, engaging, kind and obviously happy. They have great advice when ordering had fun with each other and us. To me customer service is abo it how the staff make you feel. We were welcomed as friends , treated as valued persons and left feeling recognized and as if we just made great friends. Thank you kindly for the wonderful experience which is not so common in fast food places!!! You should value your employees as they made us have a wonderful experience!

I ordered the 3 piece fish and chips. They didnt arrive. I called back. They insisted my phone wasnt working. I said Im talking to you on it now. So she said shed send my order. I live quite near to them. Maybe a 5 minute drive. Another hour, still no fish and chips. I call back. Then she insists that I ordered chicken. So I just said cancel the order. But she insisted its on the way. I said no, cancel it. My stomache had shrunken by then as I was upset. I hung up and suddenly theres a light tapping on my door. So I open the door and theres this old fella there with my food. And so I pay him and sit down to eat and open the bag and guess what? Chicken and chips!! So I call them back and she fights with me some more. Then after several minutes she says she will put me down for a 3 piece order of fish and chips. At this point I think I am not even going to bother. Its just too much stress. And the chicken is awful there btw. It tastes very bitter. Maybe the crows will eat it. But I dunno

Wish I could give this location zero stars. Paid for our eat in order, went to grab a seat and wait for our food to be ready. Walking to the dining room a huge rat ran out in front of us. We went to ask for our money back as who wants to eat with rodents running around. The cashier asked if we wanted our food to go. We said no, we couldnt eat anything prepared in this establishment. We were given a refund. The sad part is, staff acted as if it was normal to have rodents running around. Floors were Aldo dirty and table tops.

They treat the ones that look like locals like family. If you are bipoc you are getting your food last. Ordered 1st in line, waited 20 mins to get 1 meal while the 4 that came after were all served larger orders before me. A customer literally commented how im still waiting and then right on cue they bring out my food which was also pretty oily. Never coming here again, ive never felt so disrespected. Terrible service and mediocre food, and high prices. Awful location.

December 23, 2021

Just left there 15 minutes ago. I probably wont be back. I ordered a three piece chicken dinner. The chicken was way over done The cutlery/ condiment napkin had...a fork in it. Thats all.

The food is always good, never any complaints until today. When arriving at Deluxe on Rothesay Ave, saint John NB, I realized I forgot my mask so I covered my face with a brand new white cloth, it covered my nose and mouth completely. As I vwas standing waiting for my order I felt belittled as though I did something wrong from some of the staff. They continued to glare at me which made for a very uncomfortable experience. Yes mask are mandatory right now, however I made the best possible effort to cover my face and did just that, however with 2 of the employees it wasnt good enough. I will certainly consider other locations before going back there anytime soon.

Manage your expectations and youll be super happy. It serves fish and fries and other stuff in a variety of sizes for all appetites. The fish is ok. The batter can be greasy. Its not to everyones tastes. The price is ok. The food is quick. If you want superior fish and chips you can absolutly find it out here and youll pay double the price and thats 100% worth it at those places. This is not that place. Dont rate it based on what else you can get elsewhere. You cant get ANY other decent fish and chips at this pricepoint. Keep up the mediocre work guys! :D

The Rothesay Ave Deluxe is the one we usually go to when we go to Saint John and they are awesome. With Covid 19 going on their dining room is closed so they are only doing take out and delivery but they still offer the same friendly and quick service as always. Our last visit, we werent able to get our usual whole clams so called ahead this time and was assured that they were available this time. The waitress even asked if it was me that had called when I placed our order so that was nice too. She was a sweetheart
