Fishbowl Restaurant in Timmins

The coconut breaded shrimp and Caesar salad (homemade sauce) were very good! Excellent service and fast too.

Had a great meal. The pickerel is awesome! The best restaurant in Timmins!

Food was really good for a seafood restaurant in Timmins. Service was great!

I can confidently say that you can have the most delicious food and the best service in this restaurant. Thank you and I wish you the best.

Great little place. Service was amazing, and the food was great . I look forward to returning to this wonderful little spot upon returning to the lovely city of Timmins .

Best service in Timmins! If you want quality food and impeccable service this is the place to go. You wont be disappointed.

I used to go there in 1985,my dad was a regular jack McCann use to say to the girls u still take cash here we had some good times and Im gald their still going congratulations

Really cool place for a nice dinner. We went on a whim and was not disappointed!

Waitress should probably work out back and not with the public. Food was ok, makes a big difference if our Waitress would have done her job, or at least pretended to like her job

This is my favourite Timmins restaurant, by far. Love the salmon and atmosphere.

Excellent spot to eat. Large portions of great food!

Good service and good food the fish is fresh

Great non seafood alternatives. Owner friendly and engaging with lots of good gardening tips!

Food was delicious and service was awesome

I ordered calamari appetizer and seafood linguine. My appetizer was just frozen low quality calamari that was overcooked and chewy but the coating and dipping sauce were good. The seafood linguine definitely came out with precooked and then microwaved linguine noodles. The two shrimp in the whole dish were from a frozen shrimp ring and the calamari were beyond edible. I tried and tried to chew them but they were elastic bands. The tiger shrimp Caesar cocktail did not contain a tiger shrimp but ONE frozen shrimp ring shrimp. I sent my food back which I can honestly say I have only done maybe 3-4 times in my entire life. The waitress asked me if I wanted someone else to remake it for me and I honestly thought if anybody working in that kitchen thought sending my plate out in the first place was ok, I didn t want the food they were making anyway and said no thank you. My family of 3 ended up spending 150 dollars on dinner and stopped for fast food on our way home

Fantastic Some new items on the menu. Great service Great food. Food

Good preparation of fish and seafood. I had the pickerel which was simple but well prepared and in no way dried out. Fries are delicious. Extensive menu with lots of seafood and other choices. Huge dessert menu with a very good house made tarte au sucre. Attentive service and a kind of fun and funky underwater decor in blues and greens. We will return when in Timmins!

Just a little bit to much batter on the fish but overall the food was good

Great atmosphere, very clean restaurant, great staff and owners present and food was to die for. I recommend to anyone.

Not enough staff waited 3 hours for our food and seafood linguini was not good it was so garlic and there was no tomato sauce was not good

Is expensive as expected. Nice ambiance Good service Food is not a wow factor imo Service : 4/5 |

Updated Review: fish and chips were perfect once again and tasted like they did back in the 90s. Mushroom caps were good too. One star off because the Stella on tap tasted old and had an iron/tin like taste. The waitress took the draft beers off our bill and we ordered bottles instead. Overall was a pleasant dining experience.

Passing through Timmins for work, I always come back to the Fishbowl with pleasure and appetite. The cuisine is very good, the daily menus often original. I dream of tasting mushroom risoto again, a real treat! And the service is very pleasant and professional. I recommend.

Great place to eat service is fantastic, and we never have an issue.

The server was very rude and in a hurry ..it s not a good experience. The food is not bad but prices are really expensive

Had the lobster dinner. It was over priced and over cooked. It took over 2 hours to get our food! Waitress was very nice however.

Parking: In front of the restaurant Kid-friendliness: Have Coloring sheets for the kids Food : 5/5 |

The hostess was amazing The waitress not so much She brought me a glass of ginger ale half full, and slow service Fish was amazing but the fries were still pre cooked Waited for the waitress to come back For quite some time to ask for my fries to be cooked some more She came I gave her the fries She came back with the fries 15 minutes later and they were still were precooked and soggy. my fish was cold at that point and it just wasn t worth the money.

Beat fish and chips around

The food was a bit overrated. The fish meals were just regular, nothing fancy. Yet, it is a good place to eat when one passes the city of Timmins. Dont get fish and chips sauteed, go for deep fried.

Parking: Had the fisherman platter. Was okay, nothing fancy, just plain light fry Food

Ordered take out for Friday Jan. 21st, 4 orders of the 2 pc fish and chips 1 order of ribs. I called the order in. My wife picked up order on way home. Wife arrives a bit early and watched the cook preparing order. Glad to say he was very clean and washed hands continuously as he is prepped food. However, my complaints are: There are no prices on the online menu so be prepared to pay big bucks. We ordered from a local restaurant to support them during the pandemic. Unfortunately, the meal was mediocre at best. Service was great, price was shocking.

I went as a treat for a bday meal and was craving some nice seafood, and previous meals have always been so good! My partner and I both Ordered the fisherman s platter (scallops, jumbo shrimp and pickerel with rice) the pickerel and shrimp were delicious and perfectly cooked but it was downhill from there. The rice I was served felt mushy, old and was not edible. The scallops, which are my favorite when dinning out, were so over cooked it was like chewing gum. My partner ate his but noted they were terrible as well. I cut one in half and you could see it was previously cooked, as though I got the lunch rush s leftovers. It s disappointing when you re paying $60 a plate. I wasn t impressed when I brought this to the staff s attention and there was no offer to somehow make it right. Just okay I ll tell the chef . When I peeked in the kitchen while paying I saw a bunch of kids snickering. I should have just gotten the mashed potatoes because they re always really good. Or stuck with what I know is always fresh which is their signature Fish and Chips. Again I ll say, that dish is always A+. Paid the $150 and left but still irked that I didn t get fresh and delicious, just disappointment and sadness. Lol. Sounds over the top but you know when you re reeaaalllyy craving that one thing and then you go out to a nice place and it doesnt scratch that itch? Plus it was my birthday!! I don t feel like I should say make those scallops fresh please , it s implied when you go to a fine dinning restaurant but oh well. I ll stick to making them myself from home, instead of paying for rubber medallions like a chump. Two stars because I haven t dinned out since the pandemic and finally went out on an occasion, expecting exceptional and received mediocre, and no accountability when I complained just told me I was wrong basically.

In my previous visit few years back I really liked the quality but during my most recent visit I found the food less tasty, I ordered rainbow trout and it was very plain, for the price I expected more. Still good service but I say food is not as good as old days.

Not that good for the price! Very expensive and not that good

Excellent food and excellent service!

Was honestly really disappointed. Wife and I just got back from going out to eat here. It was my first time there since I moved away from Timmins 8 years ago, and its definitely not the same restaurant. Service was really slow. We got there at 4:45, got drinks pretty quick and ordered Calamari and Crabcakes. We did not get them until 5:30. The calamari was great, and the crabcakes were good. It just took forever for them to get out. Our mains took another 25 minutes to get out aswell. I ordered trout, and my wife ribs. My trout was overcooked, with about a quarter of the filet being so hard I didnt even touch it. The flavour of the trout and sauce was good, but it was just really dry and hard. My wifes ribs were cold. They were cooked welldone, just ice cold. When the server asked us how everything was, we let her know the ribs were cold. She asked us if we wanted them reheated... we had been done eating for 15 minutes at this point. We just asked for our bill to leave. I paid $120 for overcooked trout, cold ribs, crabcakes, and really good calamari. If you go, I suggest the calamari. Oh, the drinks tasted good too. Not likely to return though.

New this month ask for the blue cocktail! Everything was delicious!

I haven t been to the Fishbowl for a long time. I went with two people who had never been there before and I m so glad the Fishbowl has not compromised any of it s standards. This is my favourite place to eat that I ve ever been to any time anywhere. The staff is amazing, the food is outstanding even the location is nice. Do yourself a favour and go there to enjoy this wonderful restaurant for yourself. To the staff I say Many thanks for being a wonderful part of our day.

Slow service. Waitress forgot us.

Delicious food coupled with a fun retro underwater aesthetic.

Really enjoyed the food and as a big eater the quantity was also amazing, i had a meal they had ti fit on 2 plates, i would definitely recommend it if you are in Timmins

Service, appetizers and entree were cooked perfectly! Our only complaint was getting only a small lobster tail in our lobster dinner for 49 dollars/plate! Should get a full lobster for that price!

Slow service, over priced meals & unappreciated customers. Vegetarian options: Poor selection & over priced!

Food is amazing

Generous portions, attentive wait staff, love the lighting and decor, fun atmosphere

Came in for dinner while visiting Timmins for work. Food was excellent and our server Carol provided us with an exceptional experience!

We arrived at 4:30 since It was my moms birthday and she loves the Fishbowl. I am not a fan of seafood but walking in the special was chicken parmigiana and lime chicken. Was happy to see we d have something delicious on the menu. My husband and I ordered the chicken parmigiana but the waitress told us they only had one piece of chicken parmigiana and one piece of lime chicken left. How strange since we were the first people in the restaurant and that was the special. My husband took the only chicken parmigiana so the Waitress suggested the lime chicken for me. Order arrived cold and the chicken parmigiana was delicious but the lime chicken was disgusting. It tasted like lime only, no spices just lime. When the waitress came to ask us how are food was I told her it wasn t good and could not eat it since the lime taste was too strong and her reply is what did you think you were getting, it like chicken! I thought I was getting chicken with spices and a bit of lime not drenched in lime and no other flavour. Paid $30 for a special that I did not eat. One piece of cold carrot and one piece of cold broccoli and 2 scoops of cold mashed potatoes. Can tell you I will never be back too bad because the even though I am not a fan of seafood had they not lied about only having one piece chicken parmigiana this review would have been a whole lot better. Fun fact: the chicken parmigiana was still listed on the board as a special when I walked out very disappointing

Fish and chip very good.

The Fishbowl is a Timmins staple. The food is always excellent and the service is always fantastic. The owners, Louise & Lise, have worked tremendously hard to keep this little jewel operating throughout these last few years. This is our favourite restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Great foid great owners

Food and service is perfecto.

We celebrated a friends birthday at The Fish Bowl. Our server was fantastic and very attentive. The meal was overwhelming... There was lots to take home. If I had to make a suggestion, it would be brighten it up. Paint and fresh lighting would go a long way. Either way we would go back.

The fishermans platter was small compared to twenty years ago Just charge more and give us more!!!!! Food

Very nice place!

Vegetarian options: Enough choice Dietary restrictions: To my diabeties Parking: To my satisfaction

From of was good. Service was slow for drinks.

Always great service! Love this place! Great timmins grm!

Was looking to get fish and chips, only clicked on menu cause there was a glass of Full Beard Brewing beer, only to find out they dont support Full Beard. . . So I not going there to order anything anytime soon

Great food .. however the i believe owner was rude and keep sheffling us (party of 6 ) back and forth in the entrance like we have no where else to go ... maybe next time well goto a better eStablishment with the owner isnt too clustered to do her job which is called customer service you serve the customer when they get to your restaurant not make them wait back-and-forth with a party of 6 at a bar entrance for 20 mins.. unreal besides that the food was great bill was over $300 so unless you want to spend a lot of money I recommend going somewhere else.. And after covid 19 has happened you would think private restaurant owners would have a bit more respect for customers who go out and spend their hard earn money at the restaurant and they really dont seem to care I expect that from Tim hortons but not a restaurant thats privately owned thats trying to make it in this world owner needs to get off her high horse and realise that shes not better than all the customers that are coming there.. Long story short wont be spending my hard earn money in that establishment anymore..

Delicious and great service.

Idk man never liked it. U might tho.

Was in town for work. Ordered the 1 piece fish and chips for take out. The fish was very fresh and delicious! The batter was excellent. The portion was huge. Will definitely be back should I be in town again.

Great fish and chips!

Good food!

Do not order the lobster ravioli. (Unless hopefully they have removed it by now) I went here 2 years ago when visiting the greater cochrane district for a few months. My experience left such a bad taste that I decided to finally share my thoughts. The first time I tried going here, the hours said open but they were closed. So we had to go another day. The lobster ravioli looked beautiful, but tasted horrendous. The sauce was fishy, broken, not well tasting and was way too salty. The lobster inside was cold and tasted like it came from a can. While eating I removed what could only be described as a piece of plastic from the ravioli, so maybe the ravioli comes frozen in a bag I m guessing. Waste of like 22 bucks. My boyfriend had the muscles and he said they were sandy. Service was decent but it took a while to refill our glasses when they were clearly empty for a while (especially after the super salty sauce!), Food took very long to come out and there were only 2 tables other than ours in the whole place. After I took home the ravioli, I tried eating it to no avail and had to throw it out. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because the alcoholic drinks I had while waiting were pretty good, the caesar salad was good and so was my boyfriends pasta, just not the seafood in the pasta.

Great food and service

I love this place. Food is amazing, and so is the staaff.

Great dishes!!! The House Fish batter is so light, tasty and not greasy.

Good fish and chips

Great Restaurant! I love their food and service.

Fantastic Ribs! Try the deep fried mushrooms, too. Delicious!

Always great food and friendly staff.

I brought my girlfriend here for dinner and we tried mussels, stuffed lobster mushrooms, shrimp Alfredo, lobster dinner, cheese cake and polished for delicious cocktails! I am no food critic but the food was phenomenal and dont forget the staff, very friendly and approachable. Best part about going to these kind of restaurants is that they arent chains so its a night out that you cant pass up on!

Wow.. what a great place to go and eat. Food was absolutely amazing. From portion size and flavor.. mmm mmm mmm Staff.. friendly and polite. Place was decorated great and very clean. Will definitely recommend and also return to visit again

Please did not look very clean inside. Gloomy atmosphere. Slow service. Food was disappointing considering all the hype about it.

Good food... friendly people.. wife was happy so I was too lol.. will go back for sure..

Super

Servers were all lovely. Went with my husband and two young children (well behaved kids) and they were all super sweet, made sure to have our kids order in right away. Food was good, martini was delish. My husband had the salmon and said it was very nice, I had the lobster linguine which was quite good and we shared the lobster dip which was nice and cheesy and fresh. Would recommend this place for sure. Very pretty decor as well, my daughter was impressed with how blue everything was.

They will be back to 5 stars when they get back to their complete menu.. Great food, great service, friendly staff!!!

We drove through Timmins and went for dinner here. The experience was fantastic! The best steak & lobster dinner I ve had in a long time! The service & atmosphere, absolutely everything was great; I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! Definitely a must when in the neighborhood!

The fish and chips meal was delicious. The service was attentive and helpful.

Wonderful restaurant, friendly, well trained staff and delicious food. We went back for a second meal because the first experience was so awesome. I had the pickeral twice..so delicious!

If you are in Timmins, you need to stop at the fishbowl! Great food and service.

Very Slow service, quality of food acceptable but not great. The ambiance isn t great and decor is outdated

Amazing seafood but great servers makes. Best service in town.

My husband and I had a date night at the fishbowl last week, we used to do this regularly before covd but havent been in a while. The place we have returned to over and over to was quite disappointing in all aspects. The restaurant was pretty slow just a few people here and there yet the wait for food was over an hour. Our app came quick enough but was literally at best half and order of calamari an it was just little bits and pieces.( calamari is something we order everytime we go an it didnt measure up this time) Our one meal a seafood pasta was cold and had barely no sauce. The fish and chips was great but our server was asked 3 times for vinegar and tartar sauce. Our ceasar cocktails were horrible. The server was not the best at her job and had zero personality! We took Pina colada cheesecake home and it was only a 2 on a scale of 1-10. Very disappointed this time around.

Insanely amazing restaurant and the staff were so nice and friendly.

Fish & Chips are the best I ve had in Northeast Ontario - and that s significant coming from a Brit!!! Home cooked food, local owner, fresh fish (good for a northerly restaurant) and friendly staff!! Will be back!!

The food is really great there, there ceased salad is very good along with the fish and chips.

A great place to celebrate our 50th anniversary, great service and food.

Fantastic food - awesome service...highly recommended!

Great Dinner, Thanks.

Amazing food

Had a fine evening with friends, the meal and service was fantastic, our waitress (Carole) 2 thumbs up for her service. Management please pass on my (our) experience to the staff working February 22nd.

Great food.

Food is great staff are miserable and salty

Very good service welcoming service in French excellent food. I recommend it to you.

The battered fish is amazing

Great fish and chips

Best fish and chips around! Calamari was outstanding also...

The food was delicious albeit the service was super slow.

Amazing crab cakes!!

The fish was not bad. The artichoke and spinach dip is the best in town! Very cheesy and creamy .

Delicious fried mushrooms, great food, a little slow on our visit with the service but was worth the wait.

Excellent food and service albeit a bit slow. Still awesome experience

Great place and not as busy as it should be!

Service was slow, but food was great as always. Keep it up!.

Pasta was good but the seafood was overcooked

Love the food. Love the server. Enjoyed a good supper

Take this from someone that has travelled the world!! see my reviews Best local fish ever!!

Great restuarant. Great food and excellent service!

Fabulous seafood. Was very happy with my meal.

Best place to get seafood in town

Service was amazing! Food was delicious.

Ordered the Surf and Turf Burger. Good call.

Great place to eat good food

Birthday dinner, food was excellent and service was the best we had in a long time.

Great place for some fish

Food excellent as usual and waiter was very efficient

Food was good fountain pop taste like fizz water extream disgusting and server and manager answering with bad attitude not listening to customer when speaking to them.

Fishbowl tries way too hard to be a fancy 5 star restaurant the staff is nice but the menu is very limited and most of the food comes out cold. At least they got my order right though.

Disappointing, had to wait 15 - 20 minutes to get drinks then another 20 minutes to get our order. When it arrived there was a long hair in the fish, no charge for the meal plus a free desert, but nevertheless we were all put off a bit. This must have been just a bad day. usually the fish & service are fantastic.

The place has really gone downhill. The drive thru window is a really stupid idea, the food is awful and the fish & chips are nowhere near as good as it was 15 years ago. The batter is very greasy (two bites and you will start to feel dizzy) and the fries are very salty. The restaurant itself was redecorated and it looks really ugly on the inside. I know this is a really harsh review but the owners of this place really need to think about bringing it back to what it used to be because it used to be a fantastic place to dine.

When in Timmins got to visit this eatery

Great food for a good price

Very good menu but a hit pricey I feel

Great food!

Great service and very tasty food...Excellent ... everything was great for our our reunion

Great Food. When out of town guests come to town this is the go to place.

Good fish and chips... but the lobster bisque is fabulous!

Consistently good food.

Service was awesome!! Food was great, my 9 yr old said it was fantastic

The way things are cooked. 3 separate occasions throughout the year.. used to love this place.. - mushy lobster (didn t know lobster could be mushy ) - way over cooked flavourless steak - lobster in lobster linguini must be from frozen because there was ice bits on some cold pieces of lobster in the pasta

Stopped in for dinner and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. We had crab cakes, maple glazed salmon and whiskey arctic char. It was cooked very nicely and it was very tasty. I would recommend this place and I would go back. Its not a very fancy place, but I would say its slightly upscale. For a place in the middle of Ontario, they do seafood right. The view of the river is pretty good, too. The service was excellent and we were checked on often enough to make sure we were happy.

Pricey but good

Had fish and chips more batter than fish! Otherwise it was good!

One of the best meals Ive had in a long time.

Very well managed restaurant with great food.

Great fish and chips

Fishermans platter was very good.

Very great place for high quality food!

I ate at Fishbowl for my first time yesterday, it was also where I had my first martini. The portions for the Fish and Chips were phenomenal for the price. Next time I will have to try a few appetizers. I was very pleased with this restaurant and if you ignored it for many many years like I did it s time you pay a visit!

Fish and chips were fab!

This is the place to have fish and chips when in Timmins. The staff were super friendly and very attentive. The food quality and french fries were absolutely superb. Ill definitely be returning here for fish and chips next time I am in Timmins!

Fantastic food

My husband and I ate at the Fishbowl Restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was so disappointing. Our waitress was unfriendly and though my husband said he would soon like a second cup of coffee, she did nothing. She did not check on us till we were done. Our meal was just warm, not hot. It was not what we had hoped.

Their original fish and chips cant be beat.

Pleasantly surprised with the quality! Couldnt resist that cheese cake though. The gentleman who served me was superbly polite and ensured everything was satisfactory. Lobster Linguine was to die for

My husband was laughing, because all he could hear me saying is...Yummmm Mummm yummm. Melt in your mouth scallops! Will definitely come back when we can! Enjoyed chatting with Louise, one of the owners.Thanks for stopping by our table. Fantastique Seafood!

Best fish and chips in town

Excellent food and service

Fantastic place to eat. Food and drinks were perfect, service is really good!

Place is cozy n lively but service is very slow. Casual attitude of staff. Salad was served after the main course rather than before. Food quality was average.
