Halibut House Fish and Chips Inc. in Scarborough

Service here was mediocre at best. We were seated in plenty of time but waited a bit to be served. Got our meals fine but the waiter didn t come even to come back to see how everything was. Our water ran out and the ketchup bottle had a clog so when we went to use it spilled all over. We needed more napkins but no server in site. The waiter was more concerned with the table beside us as it was a party of 12. We paid our bill with cash and he just assumed that the remainder was for him. I ve been to other Halibut Houses and will not return to this one.

The waiter could have been a bit Nicer to me and my friend

My husband ordered two meals of fish fingers for us. His with poutein and mine with sweet potatoe fries. My husband got his dinner but all I was given was the fries! I guess disabled people really dont exist in some places.

Superb m

Big meals serving of fish very good dinner

Great service at kingston rd. Location

Since when is halibut square and 1/2 inch thick? Over priced not worth it Food

The owner there works hard every day.

it was good.

Too expensive for fish. Very hard to communicate with person on phone to get correct order. He made a mistake and had to wait for correction

Great place to visit with family. Awesome service and food.

We dont live in Scarborough anymore. We just came in to see family for lunch. The food was fresh and the portions were great. The service was friendly and attentive.

Lots of batter, not much fish.

I feel satisfied with price and taste , server was so friendly

The server lady is always happy and polite, the food is awesome the oil is never dark like you find at some fish n chip shops. The portions of fish and chips is the most Ive had. I have no complaints

Fries stale fish tasteless

Always fast and friendly service. Nice piece of halibut on their sandwiches. Delicious

Fish and chips was hot and good.

Quick friendly service.

Fries arent great. Not very quick service for takeout.

Tasty food..

Ordered delivery for dinner. Calamari, Haddock and chips. Calamari was very small portion. Too crisp/hard and calamari not good quality. disappointing. Fish was very limp and crust or batter remained uncooked. The fries were very oily and cooked in very old and poor quality oil. The oil had a bad odour. The potatoes were very poor quality and not fresh. The potatoes left a bitter and sour taste in the mouth. Disappointingly very bad food. Had to throw most of it away.

Yelled at me as a delivery driver. Totally ignored the fact that Uber customers are also paying customers.

I hardly see more than 3 tables thats including mine are eating at that restaurant service is slow after your served the waiter disappears, it is clean place and quiet place, the food is greasy!

Winston was taking care of use & he was awesome. The food came out hot and fresh. We ordered the halibut & haddock. Both were good, but I preferred the halibut more. Our table ordered a lot more but I wanted to specifically call out that the haddock was great. I was also a fan of the coleslaw. I highly recommend. Thanks Winston & Halibut House. We ll definitely come back.

Food was ok. The customer service was bad. He was rushing us to order.

Delicious we had the fish sticks. I would not bother with the fish and chips. The fish fingers 5 of them and the best sweet potatoes that I have found so far in this city. Ill be back.

Went for takeout and was surprised how good the fish and chips were. Halibut fish was super tasty and portion was generous. When you order second fish and chips dinner, they give you 50% off. Son had a poutine, which was massive. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely be back again.

We came inside and waited 10 minutes or so and yelled if anyone is there, nobody responded Might be because of our bad luck, I guess.

Good food nice waiter but a little slow to get out. Parking: Wheelchair Wheelchair accessibility: Out front good

Fresh, delicious, friendly staff, quick service, clean environment.

Me and my boyfriend both got food poisoning the fish was chewy and By far the worst fish and chips I had The batter was soggy and soft (wasn t cooked properly ) the fries were too oily and burnt We spent over 30 dollars for two tiny portions of poison basically I still haven t been able to leave the washroom

Ordered 2 pc halibut and fries for $19.99 but was served one piece. Told the server about it and he said that is the price. I mentioned that the menu stated what I was telling him. I did not want to argue with him so I left. In addition the fish batter was soggie the fish was tasteless. Seemed that it has changed ownership. Will not visit again or recommend.

Still a Kirkof family friendly restaurant!

Calm enticing aesthetic, interior design was well maintained and in order; staff were very friendly and accommodating, but best of all, the food was fantastic. I wish I had all the time to visit here more.

Great food owners were super nice

We went here today and let me tell you, for the money we paid we basically got nothing. We were absolutely disappointed. We spent $70 and walked away with only $40 worth of food. Do better.

Stay away from this location. Fish was so thin and when asked for a new piece; the server told us not to come back.

Great food

Dont bother going here. Made an order for take out, cant get the order right, paid extra for poutine which we never got and missing the kids drinks. They are not happy. If you do take out, CHECK your order before leaving! First time here & last time, never had an issue with Whitby south location.

All time fav. We are so in love. Halibut and fries so perfect. Eat in or take out either way. Very clean awesome staff. Prices very good. I would definitely recommend Halibut House East York. Thank you for reading my review.

The best fish &chips I had eaton

The food is very fresh and very large portion! The server was very friendly and the restaurant was empty. It was very friendly to Kids. Food

Very clean, staff was so attentive and ready to jump and service any need you have! Food was plentiful and very delicious!!!

On top of the food being excellent and the service was fantastic, the restrooms were extremely clean. Overall the experience was great.

Went on very busy Good Friday they were doing their best but Waits were very long. the cod fish that I got was very good but the halibut and haddock were disappointing and dried out! Fries were decent. I think I would most likely give these guys a chance on a less busy day to give a more accurate account of their quality and service.

Maan, this place was disappointing compared to the vp location. The sweet potato fries were not crispy like the vp location and the fish felt stale.

Although the food was very good at this location the service was less than desired. There was only two other tables seated when we went yet we still had to wait for service. Once our meals came we were never once checked on to ask if we needed anything at any point. After we finished our meal and sat there for a good 5-10 minutes we had to ask for the bill.

Good food, quiet, good service, my fave place to come for brunch after visiting my chiropractor.

$6 daily special breakfast? Not gonna miss a day

This location has very bad customer service. I have tried this location twice, and both times, my experience was not good. The first time I ordered online for pick up. From the time I got there, it was problems. They did not want to give me the order with my online receipt that was provided from them; they wanted it printed. Then, I ordered 4 fish and chip meals for $70+ dollars with a side salad. I did not get my fries with my order, nor did I get any of the coleslaws that came with the meals. I called about the missing items, and no resolution was offered. Fast forward to my latest experience on Sunday, July 9th, 2023. The staff on site was rude. I asked when the owner would be in and was told I dont know. They left 20 minutes ago. I said, Would they be in tomorrow again? The answer was I dont know. I then asked for the name of the owner and was told I dont know. I was greeted with what do you want when I first came into the store. Customer service is lacking and non-existent here. I will not be supporting this brand or location again. I will not be recommending it either.

Went here twice the first time everything was great the server she was great. The second time food was great the server was bad he never checked up with us and we waited 15 minutes for the check. So it depends on the server if its the woman the service is good if its the guy the service is bad.

Food is disgusting. The fish burger looks nothing like the picture. I got a piece of fish between two buns no sauce, no coleslaw. They had the audacity to charge $8 for that? The fish smelled bad and tastes like they threw some oil and lemon on it. The only good thing here are the fries. I ll never be back.

the stuff are jokes here

Amazing decor and service excellence

Fish was disgusting! Very very fishy and tasted off. Fries didn t seem fresh either. We go to halibut house in shoppers world all the time and it s great, but we were driving home and passed this location so we figured it s a Franchise, how different could it be. Man, were we wrong! I ve never ordered fish from anywhere and didn t eat it in fear of getting sick, but that s what happened today. We ordered haddock and chips to go. When we picked it up the place was empty (that should have been our sign to run) and When we got home we started eating the first bite tasted so bad I couldn t even bring myself to swallow it. When I called the location to complain the man who answered the phone (who is also who we dealt with in person) wasn t helpful, or remorseful at all. He said no one has ever said the food tastes bad . In conclusion, I ll never be back, and I would encourage you not to waste your money at this garbage location either.

About this place, the fish and the coleslaw were delicious. On the other hand, the fries were bland and had no flavour. Not only that, but you also get a ton of them. I had to get shake salt over the fries to make them taste 50% better, and couldn t finish the whole box, due to the large portions they have. If anyone is looking for a place to get fish and chips, I wouldn t recommend going to this place. Although the fish is good, it is also a big piece likewise the amount of fries they give you. Not a healthy choice to get food from. Go find a place where they have the right amount for your appetite.

Halibut fillets were a perfect square, I for one prefer the trapezoids. The batter was limp. The fast food of fish and chips.

The fish was fresh and not greasy. Very good quality. The atmosphere was lovely. The server was excellent. We are going back

Not fancy but good Fish and Chips. Staff are nice and friendly. Can wait to go back!

Awesome

The most oily fried food we have ever had. Also, we ordered Halibut, which clearly was not halibut. Doesnt take a fisherman to know the difference between halibut and haddock, and we were not given what we paid for! The kids chicken fingers were also so oily they wouldnt eat it. This was a decent place when it first opened, not sure what happened... maybe the oil temperature is too low?? Maybe somebody confused haddock with halibut...?? A lot of maybes, but one thing is for certain, the food sucked!

Excellent food and service

Large portion always

This location is fantastic. Fast friendly service, great menu and the food is amazing! Lots to choose from whether dine in, take out or Uber eats. Try it if you havent and I assure you, you wont be disappointed.

When I first came here back 3 years ago the 2 piece halibut and chips was $25 and the quality was amazing. Now the quality of fish is trash and soggy, and it s $36. Definitely not worth it as the price is not worth the quality. The only positive thing about this place, is the servers 3 servers stood out their names are Taylor ( amazing customer service and really well organized) Melissa ( very friendly) and Cindy ( kept checking up on us). The Servers are definitely a 5/5 everything else (food, etc..) is sub par 2/5

Over priced now .good food but way over priced

Oily, unpleasant

They used to give a huge piece of fish with a good portion of fries but since they raised the prices they re portions are ridiculous. Not worth the price for fish& chips.

Halibut and chips were cold and under cooked!!

Cozy little breakfast place near our house, we ordered eggs scrambled with veggie and fish and chips. Loved the coffee. Fish not so much. Lovely spot for weekend morning

I will not go here again. The fish just did not taste good. Fries are underwhelming and do not taste good cold, which is how i received them. The customer service was good.. food not so much. for $25 I expect better

Fresh fish and Golden Fries combined with swift service, makes this my favorite fish place in the neighborhood.

Kid-friendliness: A very warm family atmosphere exists at this restaurant . The food is good and well presented; they have varied menu choices. There is adequate parking here The restaurant is Wheelchair accessible

Service was good but the food quality is very poor!!!! The fish quality was very bad as well and over priced for whatever you re getting!

Fish had a distinct fishy taste and smell. Total waste of money. Batter on fish was soggy

Oily gross food. Not authentic. Order from Mccowan fish and chips instead.

the food was greasy and the chips where awful

Really great food. They were a bit understaffed when we went but worth the wait. Everything was awesome.

I am normally a big fan of the Halibut House. When I ordered I went to pick up lunch and the bag was saturated in grease. Its a shame . Wont be going back.

Love that they serve an all day breakfast until 2pm. Professional staff, well prepared meals. Best bacon burgers in Scarborough!

Went here for dinner there was a hair on the tarter sauce bottle advised the waitress she took the bottle and replaced it with another but when asked for recite she still charged us, unbelievable I would think finding a hair in your handling of food she would at least give us the food for free not even she still made us pay. Poor customer service and just gross to see that hair.

Food was excellent and nicely packaged and ready to go when I arrived.

Male server was not very friendly or welcoming

Servers are attentive and friendly. Their halibut is definitely worth the price, fresh and the portion is good.

Good food, fast and friendly service. Their daily deals are a great price!

Food portions were small. A lot smaller than other franchises of Halibut house. Not enough value for the money.

Great fishxabd chips staff excellent

Didnt go in, just stopped by

Bubbly girl server. Happy

Delicious Fish & Chip, the fries are so big that two people can t finish them

Friendly service

Delicious and fast service

Cheap take out brews, generous portions, and a great staff all make a new entry into the go-to fish and chips in Southern Scarborough. Too bad the pandemic hit as this place is a real boon to the community with its friendly atmosphere and breakfasts now no long the same. H.H is a great place to really fill up your family on some comfort fried fishies. Just remember to ask for extra tartar sauce, at least I can never get enough!

Delicious and fresh, friendly service, big portions.

Good food, pleasant staff

This place is way too packed right now

Excellent best fish just the perfect amount of battef. My only comment is there are TOO many fries. My husband and I have to figure out how much. I think one fry is going to be lots for two people

Great place for fish and chips

Its become my husband and my favorite place to eat! For now weve only been ordering take-out! Their Roadhouse burger is delicious as well as their halibut fish!! Clean place and staff is friendly! Wheelchair assessable!!!

Best fish and chips around! Excellent service! Vast menu, lots of specials!

Do not go here! This place is disgusting! The Hostess has no manners and the food is not fresh!

They do a great breakfast snd the staff are super friendly .will try the fish n chips next.

Nice fast an friendly service fish an chips

Service was fast and efficient. Large indoor area makes for good distancing between patrons. The restaurant is clean and bright. The lunch-sized fish and chips offers good value, although my wife was not wild about the chips (I found them ok). A member of our party enjoyed his burger.

Best quality and service

Nice quiet place and food was good. Went there for breakfast. Would definitely go again to try more of seafood. Best place for introverts, better then Starbucks if you want to order food and be left alone. Definitely not a fast food. They took the time to put food on the table but I am not complaining cos it taste fresh and good.

Will definitely come back again for the generous portion and friendly services!!

We went there last night for dinner. Both food and services were pretty decent.Highly recommend!

Service was prompt and courteous. Regretfully the fish was really greasy and the fries were chewy.

Nice place and the halibut fish is fantastic, love going here but sometimes the chips can be a bit on the soft and cool side. Always best served fresh and hot

Mediocre service and quality

Great prices on Sundays for fish and chips. Good service.

I hope I came here on a bad day...but I have to say, these were the worst fish and chips that I have had in my life. And please consider that Im closer to sixty than to fifty. There was hardly any batter on the fish, and considering that the joy of fish and chips is the nice, crunchy crust, that was a total disappointment. The fries were woody and bland. Thank heavens I ordered gravy, the fries needed the gravy to soften them up. And whats with the sign that says no coleslaw with take out orders? As I sit here, with indigestion, I will say that I wont be taking a chance on this place again. (For the record, we ordered two Sunday specials, gravy and onion rings.)

Clean, food great and staff nice.

Just had the Halibut and chips with a ceasar salad with a side order of garlic bread and cheese delivered through Uber Eats. The cost was just over $36 and thats with free delivery. It looks like the garlic bread was just a hot dog bun and the Halibut fish was a nice big piece but the batter taste bland. Lots of fries but again taste bland and dry. Good portions but a little pricey especially for the poor quality.

Good Prices & Food!

Good halibut.

I am so disappointed. Did the franchise change owners? In the beginning the place had delicious crunchy batter and fish fell apart with soft fries. Now I wont go back. Woody hard fries with no salt with rubbery fish. No thanks!

Excellent fish...go on a Sunday or Monday for their special.

Wastage of money. Will never order from here. Ordered for garden salad and Greek salad, received bunch of lettuces. Fries without salt pepper or any taste.

We have been to this location numerous times and it was really good but today it was awful. The halibut was rubbery and fries tasted like day old fries. Will not be going to this location again.

Best place for frest and tasty fish and chips.

The price for 1 order of fish and chips was almost $19

Always good and large portions. I love this place!!!

Where do I start? Out of certain menu items. Over cooked, dry fish that almost tasted like chicken. Items packed awkwardly. Their solution to a issue is to give away more poor quality fried fish. Spent over $100 and had to throw out half of the order.

Fish and Chips. Yes!!! Halibut was tasty. Not greasy. One of the best fish and chips I have ever had. It was just done right. Quality piece of halibut. Friendly service. Prompt service. I have been to another location twice, and food was mediocre and service a tad slow. This location will be the one that gets all my business.

I enjoyed this restaurant. Haddock and chips were delicious, very friendly staff and nice and clean dining room.

Great fish

Great when you want a late breakfast.

Good prices for breakfast

the service here is great! all the staff are friendly, and the food is good as well

Great taste and value!

So good..we always have a good dinner at Halibut House once every week. Winston service is great..thanks.

Excellent halibut and chips. Highly recommended.

Had the breakfast..for 3.95 was ok...the fish looks nice havent tried it yet

Fresh , relatively big portion order

Great food, good service and clean.

Halibut House is a chain with several outlets. We have eaten at a few locations, including this one on Kingston Road which is the worst we have experienced. The chips werent appetizing and the fish was overcooked - even the grilled fish that I had. We have never had a problem at any of the other locations we have eaten at.

Was surprised at how big this restaurant actually is inside. The place is clean and staff is friendly but the food severely lacks taste. We went in for breakfast, ordered the pancakes with chocolate chips, french toast, orange juice, and coffee. Serving size is huge but sadly there is no flavour. Thought the orange juice would be fresh or at least a Tropicana, but I was handed a bottle of orange cocktail. Lame, especially for a breakfast/brunch restaurant and for the price charged. French toast was soggy, didnt have the nice crucnh on the outside and needed cinnamon or some sort of flavour to mask the egginess. Pancakes were massive but again no taste and barely any chocolate chips in them (which they charge extra for). Servers never check on how you are doing or offer the coffee refills but if you call them up, they do help and are cordial. Wouldnt go back.

Visited a few times over the past year. Fish and chips is pretty good, breakfast is good. However, recently a family member and I ordered their Fish Chowder. The chefs clearly used too much flour or cornstarch (most likely in attempts to thicken the soup) , it was absolutely discusting. Looked terrible and tasted worse. Also, kitchen staff seem to talk to their waitress staff with disrespect. Not acceptable.

No TASTE AT ALLLLL

Good Value and Nice Service

Always good service and amazing food and coffee

Service is good. Food is okay but 4110 Kingston Rd-Halibuts foods are much better.

I sat down and I had a best fish and chips ever

Nice place to take a good and cheaper breakfast

Got sick after eating the king cod special 2hrs after! These east end Scarborough halibut houses are not the same quality as the ones ull find west like Oakville

Friendly staff, big portions

Just been for a visit. Food was excellent. Friendly service from the waitress. Would definitely make another visit.

Delicious fish, the batter is delicious; not wet with oil, not too thick very light. I had the halibut and greek salad. The sever I had was an absolute gem, and I will definitely be coing back.

Came here for lunch, and food was good and not very expensive! Was talking to our waitress and she says they don t treat the employees very well... but other than that I would totally recommend the place!

O was not impressed.

Good fish and chips.

I enjoyed the fish and chips. It is family friendly. Free parking. Very clean environment. Kid friendly. Affordable. Loved it.

After hearing their jingle on the radio for a few months I decided to finally give them a try. This particular one seemed dated. Old furniture and the stench of and old mop or dirty watered rag used to clean the table. That alone almost made me walk out. I stayed since I already ordered. The fish was nice. Batter was light and not overpowering. Since they are a chain resto as Ive seen 2 in Kingston Rd, I will give the other one a try.

visited on a non special day...there are a few promotions that HH has. We ordered the halibut and chips (2 halibut and chips). Portion size just more than enough for two people but it was a little pricey. Its worth while to visit with the promotion days and to use their coupons that are located in the circulars that get delivered to the home. It wont stop my visiting again.

Found a fly under my chips! Then they were going to charge me really? Not a good way to get new customers...just saying.

Love the food hate the service. I had to wait till waitress was talking with friend before she would talk my order. Wont be coming back
