46 Front St N, Thorold, ON L2V 1X5, Canada
Under New Ownership. We've gone back to a basic fish and chips menu, with homemade batter, fresh cut fries and homemade tartar sauce
Cute little mom and pop shop. The fish was fresh and crispy on the outside and well cooked inside. It was missing salt though. Fries are okayish. Also, missing salt. The tartar sauce was really good.
Food was ready on time but under cooked. I had ordered for myself and two friends. I ended up putting mine in the oven at home to finish cooking. The fish was pale (batter undercooked) and the fries were as if they only had the first fry of a two part process, soggy and undercooked. Very disappointing.
Were starting to eat out more and trying different places . Will not return...like some of the reviews , cold fries...served ends of fries that were burnt...fish was under cooked and very greasy that took some time to digest.It's best to be up front so a place has the chance to survive...read the reviews and improve things. Best of luck
Ordered a single haddock and chips. I grew up going to various fish and chip places (my dad used to run 3 prior to my birth), and I have enjoyed them many times over the years. I would agree with a few others here that it's not the best I've had (fish was a little soggy on the bottom), but overall, I would visit again if back in Thorold. I would have preferred seeing plates other than plastic, but that's just me being picky now. Very quiet place around 12:30-1 on a Friday. Meal was shy of $15.
Highly underrated, personally this is a hidden gem in the heart of Thorold downtown. I am allergic to fish, however the fries are cooked in a separate fryer. The chicken is cut from the skewer then grilled to perfection, throw in some cheese and gravy in addition to their house made garlic sauce, you have a perfect combination for a heart-warming shawarma poutine. I highly recommend trying it. Their falafel wrap and shawarma wrap were also amazing, everything is cooked fresh to order, your food is not stale. Will be coming back more often.
The fish was all right. Not the greatest I've had. But I'm kind of biased being from Nova Scotia and used to eating fresh fish. The atmosphere of this place was a real downer. The owner sat in front of his laptop and stared at it all the while I was there. The girl who did the cooking was very timid, as if almost afraid to be working there.. 1st and last time I will ever visit
The best kepted secret in Thorold Delicious and generous portions. Best value fish and chips. Burgers and fries and more. We would order a 2 piece fish and chips, split the fries. We had more than enough for two. Best deal in town
Haddock serving was huge, tender and delicious. Batter was not too thick, which was good. Fries were frozen Cavendish (Costco food court style), which were good but I prefer fresh cut with fish and chips.
Family agrees, best fish we have had all this summer.
Very good quality and excellent service. The owner friendly and helpful. Nice a d quiet place
It just opened up again under new management,I got a two piece of Pollack,the batter was really light cooked perfectly,was very reasonable and it was ready really quick Wheelchair accessibility: They came outside to serve me, Im in a scooter,new menu as its under new management,nice people!!!
Ordered from here Friday night 2 haddock dinners fish was ok a little greasy lots of food for the price
Please don t waste your hard earned money on this restaurant.. they need to make a big effort to improve their food quality!! I m so sorry but this was a very bad experience for the money Food
Friendly, efficient, busy, successful - and close by! For your Friday fish and chips fix - perfect! (Enough for next day).
This is my third time eating here in the past month. I had the 2-piece haddock dinner each time and each time it was fantastic! Generous portions and at a great price too! I ll be coming back!
Ordered ahead still had to wait 20 minutes for order to be complete the fries are over cooked in oil that clearly needs changing fish is good service at the desk terrible completely disappointed wish I could share pictures of how disgusting the fries are
Ordered from Skip, had the halibut, ordered 2 pieces, the fish batter was not cooked properly, when the batter opened it was wet and sludge like inside, it was so greasy, the fries were ok, and the coleslaw was like soup, with a strong taste of vinegar.
I love the food
Fish and chips is one of the best I ve had in the Niagara region. Very light batter and the fish burger is an excellent choice as well. Everything made fresh, so you have to wait a bit.
Best place in town,lgbtqia2s+ friendly, cute little diner for dates
Have never stopped in before. We all decided to eat in as they have some seats. We ordered a haddock family meal for 4 adults and we had leftovers, lots of fish and fries. Wasnt a fan of the coleslaw. Table was dirty, so I requested a wipe down. Food was brought to our table and we all enjoyed it. Thanks!
A great place for food in the Thorold. The popcorn shrimp, pickles, and fries were amazing. Exactly what youd want. Next time we will try the fish and chips but after eating those things we assume its just as good if not better. We would avoid the burger as it was just mediocre.
New owners they just opened yesterday. I grabbed a hot dog and fries! Fries were great and so was the hot dog. Very friendly family working. Would recommend trying it out. Food didnt take long
new owners now and their burger (dry, no condiments, no toppings other than lettuce because thats apparently just how it comes??) gave me food poisoning :< this restaurant used to be incredible and i suggested it to all my family and friends now i hope that no one ends up going because of me
Went in on their third day of being open. Service was fast and friendly. My order was ready for pickup when I got there and the price was reasonable for what I got. Ill be going back - possibly tonight.
Fast service, super kind and hard working staff. Great quality food; I usually don t even like fish but I ll eat theirs. Over all really positive environment and very sanitary (if you look for that kind of stuff). I don t know how anyone could say anything bad. New management has completely turned the place around, ive never seen it look so good.
We heard that the original owners family returned to the location with an original family recipe, so I sent my husband to pick up fish for dinner tonight (family of 5, 2yo twins and a 4 yo) a six piece dinner fed us all beautifully! And honestly Im blown away by the batter, we order fish and chips in Niagara (various locations) every single Friday evening, and this is hands down the BEST battered fish I have ever had. Even better-- all three kids asked for seconds and thirds--Well done! And thank you so much for bringing it back to share! I cant wait to order again next week with my parents!
very good fish and chips. friendly staff!
Amazing fish a chips best ever !! Great portion size
Only thing that would have made it perfect would have been to have malt vinegar instead of white!!
First time ordering from here .Had 2 piece Haddock dinner and one for my husband as well and gotta say it was delicious! The Women that took the order was very nice ,it was fast and fresh .When my husband picked it up said they seemed very nice , I hope you all support them ,Job well done Thank-you. M.Fraser
This rating is meant to be merely constructive criticism. The fish was drenched in oil the fries were cold and the coleslaw was cubed not grated(cabbage) which was new to me. Just saying. I hope you take the time to properly drain off the excessive oil moving forward.
Fish was good fries were mid
Definitely the best fish and chips Ive ever had and its next door so me and my dad love eating there and the portions are huge!! And the service is excellent
Always really good food!
Worst shawarma Ive had in quite awhile. Chicken undercooked and cold, almost tasted day old. Wasnt asked what toppings I wanted and got unwanted onions, tomato and pickles. Barely any garlic sauce which was flavourless. Wont be returning !
I would give more star as well. Generous and kind owner but the food is so tasty. Fish is in full big size and very delicious. Thank you Thorold fish and chips.
Excellent. Will return
Fish was overcooked (dark red/brown batter) to the point that the thinnest parts were chewy. The fish was also very greasy, which is odd as I thought the oil temp was way too high causing an almost burnt fish? Also, steer well clear of the fried pickles. I have no idea what is going on with them, but inedible is the word I would chose as a descriptor. Took a bite, spit that out and threw the remainder in the trash.
Fish sandwich was so light and delicious. My daughter had thr chicken burger and liked it. Onion rings were perfect. Fries were thick cut, unsalted (which i prefer but did not ask for)...perfectly fried. All so good!!
Walked in, stood for 5min in front of register waiting to be served while owner & 3 co-workers watched me wait. Another customer walks in & owner finds time to serve him before me. Then tells me that because I was looking down at my phone, he couldn t get my attention, after having me stand for 5min in front of the cash register. I m sure we all have a voice & a mouth for a reason. Poor customer service, reason for my review.
Not the best fish and chips. Very oily and too much batter. Prices are reasonable i think from what i remember. Its been awhile since i went there. The workers in the back seemed like they were working very hard. Its just the fish and chips couldve tasted better.
A great family restaurant. They still offer very fair prices and the food is delicious. This is one of my favorite places to get fish-and-chips.
Got a 2 piece fish and chips and it was great! Fish was cooked perfectly!
Called for take out.. food was great, fast service..and amazing price .well done sir..
Very good ,took awhile but he had lots of customers, and was all by himself I would definitely go back nice guy
Great fish and chips spot, prices are fair and fish size is great.
This place is a family business with the whole family working together to support each other. The food is excellent quality and the lowest price in the Niagara region. The staff is always cheerfully serving each customer with respect and prompt service. If you go you will be amazed. You will never want to go anywhere else for your restaurant dinning experience because you will want to return again and again for their great tasting and best quality food for miles around. You will never regret following my advice because its just great food
I m absolutely in love with this restaurant! The customer service is of par excellence, and the food is great.
Great food great service.
The price and quality are spot on at this resturant.
Ive had shwarma poutine before and yours was missing the best part the garlic sauce also I couldnt even chew the piece of fish I received cause it was over cooked and the popcorn chicken tasted like it was in the freezer for a month.
The fries were cold when we got our food to which we showed up 5 minutes early to our order pick up time. The fish and chips had ok batter but was way overcooked and dry. The chicken burger was nothing special either I would compare it to a high school cafeteria quality. They both came without drinks even though I paid for a combo for the chicken burger and it came out to around $35 I would not suggest this for anyone in the area and will not be returning to this restaurant. For $35 for two meals and an order of mozzarella sticks you should just go buy the frozen versions of these items from the grocery store it will be the same quality but provide a lot more meals for you and your family. Update: We ordered just under 2 weeks ago an was very dissatisfied we decided to let it pass as we understand that it is a though time for small business but then our friends had the exact same experience your restaurant is way over rated on google people should understand that the only thing you will get from this restaurant is the same frozen food that you could purchase at the grocery store. Also the owner rather then taking the review argues it which just make this post even more valid. if you are looking for good fresh local food I suggest you check out the Niagara restaurants facebook page which will give you a list of options that are actually worth $13-16 a plate that you are paying here. Also we ordered the chicken burger not the chicken fingers if you actually want to take the criticism.
Loved the jalapeno poppers and sharma. Hot and fast delivery.
Great fish!! Very unorganized when it comes to good friday... Many people waiting in line for 1 + hours.. then people decide to cut to the front that have only been waiting 5 minutes and go right in and grab fish, they ignore everyone telling them theres a line.. When thepeople at the front try to go in we just get yelled at... They were answering phone and telling them to just come right in.. even though there is people from a hour waiting and still haven t got their food... Also to add to that Fish was hot but fries were cold.
So worth the wait in line. Only recommendation is to make their own tartar sauce.
Was hungry as hell. Went straight in and ordered COD fish and chips. The best fish and chips I ever had, the quality and quantity were amazing. I will definitely reorder in future.
Ordered for takeout this evening and just got it back home to find they forgot the kids meal in our order, but we were charged for it. Also the coleslaw portion is tiny, and they also forgot the tartar sauce for one of our dinners. Just a big let down, not a good first impression. Edit- The fish batter is bland and very greasy, and the coleslaw is VERY acidic. Won t be returning.
Great fish and chips and accommodating staff. I guess you could say they blow the competition straight out of the water!
Great staff awesome food
Average fish and chips at average prices.
Speedy service. Friendly ma and pop restaurant. The fish is always delicious and the fries portion is huge!
Excellent fish & chips, and prices were great too!
The fish and chips were delicious
came to this store 3 months ago and it was not this good, its very clean and delicious food
Wow .. We went last night to this place we couldnt believe it is the same since our last visit last year. New operation staff that are so friendly and the most important is the clean environment that everyone can notice, but the food itself i give 7 stars out if 5. Thank you guys and keep it right.
Great food and service
Amazing food and great service. Thank You!
A shame...we were expecting alot, based on other reviews. Fries were obviously from frozen...very plain...no salt or seasoning. Fish was soggy...not crispy at all. Coleslaw is exactly the same as the one at KFC...which I like.
Just an Outstanding place to Eat. The Owners and Staff beyond true to customer service and Food is Great. Bravo
We have just moved to Thorold and were excited to try this place, so we went there on Friday. Road construction notwithstanding, the place is easy to get to and has curbside parking out front. The shop is small, simple, and clean, which is what a F n C shop should be. The family that we assume are the owners were very welcoming and are taking COVID protocols seriously, which we were very happy about. Unfortunately, the food was a bit of a letdown. We shared the standard 2 pc fish and chips and a chicken shawarma and neither was as good as we d hoped. The fish was not as fresh as we re used to, and only having haddock to choose from was disappointing. The batter was quite greasy and the fries are clearly from frozen - not crispy at all. The shawarma was much better. Excellent flavour On the chicken and the pickled veggies. Rice was a bit dry but very tasty as well. Could have used a bit more sauce. Worth another visit to try some of the other Shawarma.
Excellent fish & chips , could be the best in town for the size, taste & price
Perfectly cooked Haddock and fries. Just one of those rare places where food makes you happy
Great food and kind service. The food takes a bit to make bit it is worth the wait.
I usually never review places I visit but this restaurant truly deserves a review. I just need to say.... THIS IS THE BEST FISH AND CHIPS TAKE-OUT I HAVE EVER TRIED. Hutches on the beach is a known place for good fish and chips as well but this place is just as good, if not, better!!! (And for a much better price) I absolutely loved the food. Will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend.
Very friendly and awesome home made food
Absolutely fantastic. We will be back.
Really good Fish & Chips, reasonably priced! Very Happy
Good fish and chips you get what you pay for
Good food, good price. Owner has a great sense of humour.
It was marvelous food and we had plenty of it
Best food around!
Love the fish here
Great hidden gem while checking out the canal! Amazing garlic sauce on the shwarma and the fish is light and awesome!
Excellent fish and chips... looking forward to trying more on the menu!
Great Fish & Chips and a very friendly owner
Great food
I saw local policemen also eating there, indicating that the taste and price should be relatively reasonable in the local area.
Fresh fish light batter very pleased with the service
Good fish n chips. No frills
Clean, friendly, excellent fish and chips!
Best fish in Niagara, period.
They refused to deliver to us because we were out of range however we are less than 10 minutes away... we had to go through 4 different people and waited another half an hour for a call back to tell us we cant order anything, after they already took our order
Good food, you pay for quality.
Great food and service. Keep up the good work.
Best fish and chips I had in a long time, great food, great service, definitely I recommend this place
Great food. Always great service when I go in. Reasonably priced, especially for highschool kids. To anyone in highschool reading this go between 11 and 1. Theres a menu that has specials. I typically get a 2 peice chicken that come with fries. I get a pop and its $5. The staff is always friendly and strikes up a conversation. Very family friendly.Love it. You can also phone in an order and pick it up.
best fish and chips i ever had in canada so far. profession
The fish was huge,well done and oh so tasty.The French fries were not greasy but crisp and really good.I have a new favorite fish and chip shop.Good service..wonderful food.
Great service and food was amazing
Great food

I own Timebomb Gaming next door and eat here alot! Never disappointed and always full when finished! Vic and Moe are great guys who will never let you down!
WARNING DONT EAT HERE! I was going to drive across town to get my Fish n Chips from a familiar chain, but read the reviews here and decided to try this local store. Well, where do I start. How about like this; first and foremost this was simply the worst fish and chips Ive ever eaten, and I do mean ever. The batter could not have been more greasy if they tried. I picked up 2 fish dinners. They were stacked in a single paper bag. The bottom dinner, the paper plate it was on, the paper it was wrapped with and even the bottom of the paper bag were so soaked with oil It glistened! YUK. The batter was slimy and doughy inside. The fish tasted bland and previously frozen, likely thrown in the oil still frozen. YUKKIER THE FRIES.... I MEAN REALLY! Tasteless and also likely previously frozen were equally horrid. Perhaps these folks need to decide what they are... A shawarma shoppe, A cabbab shop, Greek diner, or fish and chips. Concentrate on one thing then maybe get that one thing right. Ill leave the testing of meals from them to other poor unwitting victims lured by reviews obviously written by their friends family and employees, AND neighbours, like I Was. To top off the experience.... THEY ONLY TAKE CASH!! OHH!!! but they were friendly. Trouble is, I wasnt there to make friends. WARNING DONT EAT HERE!
GREAT FOOD, STAFF AND PRICES
Vick is a great guy and the food is A++!
Everything here is great. Food wonderful and staff friendly. Highly recommended!
Best food ever good price big portions
Its OK unfortunately what we had wasnt the greatest and we had to wait for 30 mins for the food.
Family oriented
I for one love this buissness they always seem to run out of cod because its so good i am Newfoundlander and have eating sea food my whole life and idk what they do but its the best tasting fish Ive ever tasted 5 all day
Cash only, Better than subway!! Excellent food and nice services!!
Went for fish & chips, was not disappointed.
Hands down the best shwarma in Niagara, I tried them all and Vic is a master.
Foods good large selection daily deals and the owner is quite a nice guy to talk with me and my girlfriends are regulars due to his customer service.
Lovely owner and the fish is amazing.
Great place with a big menu and reasonable prices. Cash only though
Great food and very reasonable prices. Very friendly staff as well.
Great food, portion size is very good and price is reasonable
Delicious fish & chips served with lemon wedges, tartar sauce and coleslaw. Love their hot sauce!
The owner is very friendly, the servings are generous, great service, worth every penny, I will be going at least once a week! They allso have shwarmas and all kinds of great stuff, I absolutely recommend it!
