Halibut House Fish and Chips Inc. in Toronto

3 or.4 years ago was my first time there everything was perfect. The last few times over 2 years worsening!!! Til last evening December 2024. Again another waitress...she okay trying to make a Bad Situation look good. I placed my order Halibut and Onion Rings with a side fries... because they dont do Frings...I told the waitress my Fries a little more.cooked crispy outside melt in ur mouth inside....Food came...eating fries found 2.or 3 half.cooked / raw fries. After a few minutes of.getting the waitress attention I asked her to drop mine again. The next few minutes is this Chinese lady cussing and carrying on..So I got so turned off...I.did not wanting those. Any she spit on them or do.something to them. A few minutes later the waitress came.back with dried out awful fries!! Another problem is the place is cold they always have cold.breeze blowing and your.food gets cold and Nasty..Nearly every patron left half theyre food.cause it was ice.cold And outside did.not help...but they have cold.air coming in!¡¡ Never going back to St clair Halibut House To.rude

Big pieces of fish cooked well. Fries were decent and the staff are extremely kind and friendly.

Great place for fish and chips :)

The price is right for the amount of food you get

Was served semi naked fish... twice! Decent special on cod on Wednesdays. Asian lady cook has habit of not completely battering fish. Twice, fillet had maybe 35% naked, unbattered area underneath. Even after specifically asking for well battered, the results were disappointingly the same. On the plus side, the taste is perfect, except for the tablespoon of raw cabbage they give, masquerading as coleslaw. Tastes completely raw. No discernable dressing. I usually add more vinegar and sugar at the table, which helps alot. Prices for some items such as onion rings are extremely high. My regular mom n pop place is better. Small deficiencies that ruin the meal.

good daily specials, nice people.

Was in the area and spotted the Halibut House and with being british, we obviously had to try!! . The clam chowder was not the best, nor were the mushy peas (had an odd aftertaste to them) We tried the deep fried mushrooms, which were delicious, despite the artifical parmesen sprinkled on top! The Haddock was light, fresh, tasty and crispy. The batter wasnt greasy at all in fact it melted in your mouth. As for the Chips they were ok, quite browned but not very hot, wasnt alot of them either. It was very quiet when we were there and our server was lovely.

The fish has been cut in half since the new people have taken over, the food is not as good as it wase

This is our new place for fish and chips. My only complaint is those fried mushrooms are huge!

Great food, big plates, excellent price. Served hot. Strongly recommend

I ordered online & sadly the halibut breading was kinda limp. I even put it in the oven to try and crisp it up a bit to no avail. I d not re-order. the shrimp and scallops were OK Food

With my favorite place closing down after a lifetime this has been a great replacement for me. Not the best I ve ever had but definitely worth it.

Have been wanting to try this place since moving to the area and thought Id treat myself to a take out meal after a long week. Was floored by the fact that it was nearly $40 for 2 pcs of Halibut and Chips and I had to pay extra for a side of coleslaw. Thought about walking out and going elsewhere and I really should have. Fish was rubbery, batter was almost non existent and the fries were still raw on the inside. Disappointing to say the least.

Great fish and chips restaurant, serving haddock, cod, and halibut, as well as other seafood.

Honestly havent had Halibut fish & chips this bad before... Could have been an off-day. They didnt give me any cutlery or napkins for my takeout either. Was at construction site eating with my bare hands

Clean place with nice tables and chairs. Has a TV that plays CP24. The walls are decorated with fish and has decorations all around. The food is pricey but delicious. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get a wheelchair in here and seated at a table. The doors open automatically with a button.

Portion size was good. Tartar sauce was good too. First time here. Would come back if in the area.

Great service with decent portions. Sunday and Monday special is our go to

Apparently they were short staffed and decided not to tell anyone until we had waited 45 minutes and my lunch break was over with no food. Charged me 2$ for a can of coke though. If youre going to be slow you have to tell customers so they can decide if they want to stay.

Delicous!

Large portion. Taste was great

This menu prices are incorrect. The halibut prices are the haddock. Add extra on halibut if ordering from this menu.

The lone waitress was very attentive to detail and cheerful. It was obvious she loved her job. Kudos to her. Will go again.

Great people and great food. Breakfast is awesome!

Had brunch at this location: Haddock and Chips, plus salad. Asked for hot water, in a kettle. The server / waitress said they did not offer hot water, in a kettle (although they serve tea and coffee, in a kettle). This is an example of bad Customer Service, especially if you are dealing with a Senior Citizen.

The Food was Delicious! I was Very Disappointed that it took 2 hours to place and receive my takeout order. I would recommend Especially on Good Friday that your restaurant only have takeout and a limited menu. This would make it much more Efficient and Effective and much Less Overcrowding and Happy Customers!

wow the fish and chips here are really good! oil so fresh. fish big and chips fresssshhh

Most discusting !! Worste take out fish n Chips ever . Straight to the trash can . $100 wasted Ice cold and rock hard processed packages of tartar sauce . I cant believe this!!! WOW JUST FN WOW !!!

excellent halibut and generous serving - very friendly staff

Delicious lunch special and tasty clam strips. Very friendly, warm service.

Really great fish and chips

First time here and I had the halibut and poutine fries.(The French fries were massive) Both were good but I was disappointed with the chose for their tartar sauce. As it seems to be just pre package sauce and not a house recipe just tasting like mayo. Maybe because I took it to go they gave package tartar instead of their own. Overall food was okay as along the service/atmosphere.

Fries over cooked and fish was tough. Almost thought it was 3 d printed. Never again

Pretty pricey

Always great food friendly people

What a clean excellent place for a thick piece of delicious Haddock. The Greek salad is absolutely delicious. The service is so quick, friendly and the restaurant has great atmosphere. This is a regular go to place for me.

Great experience with my take out order. Very friendly and attentive Staff!

Food is good, price is reasonable. Good family restaurant to go :)

Breakfast skillet must try. Real Canadian food.

Service was good, the overpriced halibut was awful.

Solid fish and chips spot. Great service

The breakfast is good value. Although it feels like a diner the food is tasty, e.g. the chowder, onion rings, and tartar sauce. Great service. Parking: Good

Very friendly staff. Busy place too. Always a good sign when a lot of people go there

Nice clean place with very good fish and chips - today I had the Haddock but I have also had the Halibut there too which was also Delicious- portion size is pretty big. Waitress was also very pleasant too.

Food was excellent.... delivery was quick

Food was really good! However there was an issue with the menu, it said add 2$ for a salad. But then charged us 3$ for the salad and said its 3$ for the salad we got but the menu doesnt state that. Argued with us and said thats how it is.. poor customer service Food

The best fish and chips place in town. We had grilled halibut and haddock fish. Very neat and clean place. Staff is amazing. Prices are right. Lots of parking. Parking: Ample of parking.

Love the food. Great chef. Reasonable prices

Service is quick and the portion of fries is quite large. The onion rings were delicious. The bathroom was clean. Offers Wi-Fi internet. Parking: Parking uses the spaces in the plaza, and there are around 350 free and uncovered spaces.

Bleach smells. Otherwise an okay diner.

Even though this place is a chain, the food is quite good. Got a burger here and it was surprisingly very high quality. I have also had the breakfast here and it is always great and well priced.

As a expat Brit here in Canada good fish and chips is something that I miss and crave. But I have to say halibut house delivered! The fish was so delicately battered and fried to perfection and the chips were just as I remember them back home. Also got the mushy peas and they were great. What an awesome find for a taste of home. also excellent portion size for the price. Very comparable to how much a fish dinner would be back home! Would have been 5 stars but the food was slightly cold when it arrived. I know thats not the restaurants fault but maybe I would suggest checking the driver has a warmer bag with them for the journey with the food to keep it as hot as when it left the restaurant. Can imagine it would be easily 5 stars if I ate at the restaurant fresh.

First time trying out the food here since its closeby my place. I went on a Tuesday afternoon, it wasnt busy. The person who served me was Kevin, he was nice and very quick. The quality and portion of the food was good. I also thought the price was fair. I didnt end up finishing what I ordered cause it was alot. I had the Haddock onions rings and coleslaw. Ill definitely comeback again and try out a different fish or maybe their souvlaki. Definitely check them out!

I had the halibut fish with onion rings. Pretty decent fish and onion rings. Satisfying meal. I felt it could be less oily though.

Sunday special, I think, is a great deal.

Take out was great

Excellent fish and chips for a reasonable price. Really friendly and helpful service.

Good food, few employees for service

Very friendly staff. Love the specials they offer.

Lovely haddock. Best Ive had in Canada (30 years growing up in West Yorkshire). The batter is good but not quite up to par with home

Excellent dinner! Great chowder and fish & chips!

Had the Sunday special which was good for the price. It was a very busy day so service was quite slow.

Nice little Fish & Chips spot.

Great tasting food jut a little pricey

Rude, my fish was undercooked. This location should be avoided.

Excellent service and very friendly

Excellent food and great service

The customer service was very good and the associate was helpful. The halibut was fair, and a decent portion. The portion was obviously commercially pre sized and frozen, potentially battered on-site. So it wasn t the best fish and chips experience. If your looking for fresh halibut portions, this isn t the place. The Chips/ fries were great and a large portion was given with each order.

Very misleading advertising The buy one get one free for june 2nd is dine in only The disclaimer for that if its even on the sign is tiny 8$ extra charge to dine out Very misleading and curt staff, so i dont recommend it Youd think theyd value less work with take out but theyre hoping for tips or extra probably

This is a local franchise fish and chips restaurant. Service is good and food is good too but I can definitely suggest to their headquarters that the franchisees can paint the ceiling white and use sea blue colour flooring tiles thus giving the customers the feeling that they are actually sitting above the sea while enjoying their meals. Kid-friendliness: Of course.

Closed at 5pm with no sign up explaining why. Google maps says its open...

Good portions and friendly service.

Excellent service and food! Mushy peas YES!!!!!

I went today with my family we enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and the food was good. Only problem I had was having two ordered of calamari and when it came it was as basically the portion of one order anywhere else. Enough that my brother argued that the second one was coming because no way that was two orders. Other than that I enjoyed it and will be coming back.

I went in on Father s Day and seemed like they were under staffed. The lady serving us did a great job for what was going on. The food was very good! My only issue is the Calimari portion is very small says serves 2. I was shocked the poutine portion was huge. Would be nice if they added fountain drinks. I would recommend either way! Parking: It s in a plaza so great parking.

This was my first time ordering from this establishment and I will never be ordering again. Nothing wrong with the food but the service and friendliness of staff was disgusting. We placed our order to go, from the dinner menu as staff said we cannot order from the lunch menu. As we finished ordering an elderly man came in and asked to dine in. Staff let him know they werent taking anymore sit ins as they close at 8pm and they close seating at 7:30pm. It was 7:29pm. I felt so sad for that man. He left. At 7:44pm a family of 3 came in and were seated with menus, water and cutlery. They ordered their food and they were allowed to order from the lunch menu with no issues. Truly disappointing and sad to see how staff treat people so differently.

I really wanted to like this place, but literally everything was bland and we ended up leaving more than half of it behind. The only thing I can really say is that the portions were good.

Breakfast is good but they been slowly raising there prices to a point were its not worth it

Way too expensive for fish cooked in oil, but it is very tasty, just not worth the price

Breakfast was spot on, service was served with respect and kindness. Bottomless coffee with the eggs.

Excellent fish and chips with Greek salad. Looking forward to coming again.

Great fish and chips

This is what you get for $21 not the most food thats for sure. It was ok but the fish the star of the show not so good. That being said Ive been to other halibut houses and they are much better. So this 1 gets a 3 but others I would give at least a 4 the one in Ancaster and the one of Victoria Park and danforth both get a 4 better fish and more fries better fries and gravy. We all know at the end of the day its coming down to those fries and gravy .

Excellent food,service thank you!!

Great food great prices

Great breakfast special! Super friendly service.

Great food great people great service

Have eaten here many times in the past and the food was always great. We decided one night to get some chicken souvlaki dinners for take out, and when we went to eat it, it was not enjoyable. The rice was REALLY salty.. and the chicken tasted off. Shame as the food in the past has always been great. Perhaps just a bad day for the cook(s), but our meals were so bad, we decided not to even finish them, basically throwing away $40.

King cod and chips for $12.99 (Wed special), very fast and friendly service. Excellent execution....nice big piece of fish, chips were great and $5.65 for a beer, whats not to love.

I had a very tasty lunch special fish and chips. The service was great in a cheery, nicely decorated setting. Watch for daily specials! Recommended dishes

One of two Halibut House in Toronto. Delicious fish and chips! The chips are golden crispy and flaky inside. Plenty of parking in front. Ate my haddock and chips fore remembering to take photos, next time.

highly recommend this restaurant love the sea food and the staff is very friendly

Great service. Friendly and attentive. Good food. Good portions. Went above and beyond to split our meal of 2 fish on separate plates. Overall pleasant experience.

Best fish and chips

I enjoy the codfish with chips.

This place ripped me off, I called and asked about their specials, and they told me the only special they have is a $14.95 lunch special. However, when I got there I saw not only did they have a $12.99 special but they also have a $10.95 special. Not only did they not tell me the other specials but when I told them that the last time I came I got a $12.99 special and she said no that is our old price. Shame on this restaurant for lying.

Nice batter on the fish. Very tasty. Did not wait long for fresh hot food. Friendly service.

When you are hungry, you will eat what is available

Great food Good price Daily Breakfast also (Less crowded then other places) Food : 5/5 |

Takeout. Fish is very tasty. I would come back

The place is spotless. The service was friendly & they dont rush you. The food was great. I had the halibut & and chips. The fish batter was crispy & light and the fries were golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Just the way I like fries.

Slowest service out there. Food is way below average and it is frozen. I wouldnt go back.

We love to come here for breakfast and lunch, the food and service is always great!

My go-to fish and chips spot. Amazing food and service. Would highly recommend!

Dishonest. Wife and I ordered to take advantage of their January BOGO 50% deal. Ordered Halibut and sweet potato fries and halibut and mushy peas. Wife was told mushy peas are a separate side item and there would be a x dollar charge for them, which we were fine with. When we came by to pick up order, was told discount only applies to fish AND chips. Was not told that on the phone, and this itemization leads to the highest possible total. This is, in my opinion dishonest and anti-consumer. No complaints about the food, weve ordered here many times before. There are better places in Toronto for fish and chips, but this is close to home and convenient. However this will be the last time we order here.

Paid for halibut, did not get halibut. Check your fish people. Ripped us off.

Good fish and chips.

Excellent food!!!

Over priced and very oily

Had halibut and chips. Very good. Only complaint is restaurant was too cold. Good service as well.

The halibut is super meaty and cooked perfectly! Love the fries and the gravy is delicious

First time I ordered from this place the food was excellent so much so that I spoke to plenty of my co worker s that they need to try it . Bad news second time I ordered the quality of the food was very disgusting Luke warm more on the cold side almost as it was food that had been prepared at 9am & sat all day then packaged to deliver at 6pm .when a person is paying $60 for an order in these times quality should be first priority would definitely not recommend moving forward

You get your moneys worth

Fish & chips are amazing, coleslaw is great (not the creamy kind) .. Clean restaurant (cleaning to booths, tables between customers), great service! Check out daily specials

Harry certainly earned his tip waiting on my mother and I for breakfast during an emotionally fraught day. The eggs were done correctly and the bacon was huge slices of some antediluvian cave-hog. Absolutely great. Beer is no longer on the menu proper but I saw a bunch of empties so maybe you need to know a handshake or something now. I swear the next time Ill actually get some fish. 10/10 clean washrooms and alacrity of kitchen. Protip: DBAA and bring the damn seagulls your scraps, its good form.

Overpriced and really small portions. Ordered calamari and scallops, ended up cooking my own food at home. I pay that much money because I don t want to cook myself. First time happened to me when I had to cook myself a food after ordering Uber. What a joke.

Service was quick, store very clean and servers very friendly and polite. Food was very good and arrived hot.

Yum! This place has the most delicious fish and chips. The batter on the fish is so crispy and tasty, the fries are amazing and their Greek salad is superb. I love Halibut House!

The food was great but the place was under staffed.

We were immediately welcomed into the restaurant with a smile. Establishment was clean and there is something for everyone. The food was served promptly, serving was generous to say the least and the taste was great. Overall, very happy with the experience and would come back again.

So delicious and great portions !! Always craving to come back. Although the fish is the main star the fries are so delicious too! Greek salad was also great side. We ve been coming back almost every chance we can. Great job !

One of the best Fish and Chip restaurants Ive been to. Prices can be a little expensive but you get your moneys worth.

Best fish n chips place in the city.

I love this place. Everyone is always so kind. I came in earlier than opening time not knowing what time they opened but happy to wait for them to open. The chef let us in about 5 min earlier and gave us coffee and took our order. Thats so awesome. He did not have to do so but he did out of kindness, thank you!

Halibut did not taste good. Portion was small. Restaurant was empty and messy. Tarter sauce tasted old, hopefully I dont get sick. Fries were good, Greek salad was ok. Staff was very nice.

Halibut was so dry and overfried you couldnt even use your fork to cut it, it was like cutting the sole of your shoe. Im not sure how you could screw up fries but they did. They were also so dry and overcooked. Not the crispy outside, soft inside you expect when eating fries. While we did get a ton of fries in the order, they pretty much went to waste because we couldnt eat them. For the price, definitely a disappointment. Will not return.

One of the best fish in town.

Friendly, delicious, clean.

Have had the cod and chips many times, always good

10 stars if I could! I know the foods amazing here but its the customer service that deserves huge praise! Very kind and sweet people working here 100% will be back!

Had fish and chips and burger and chips. Skipped the onion rings as they now use frozen. Good was good.

Me and my family went to this place for dinner one evening. It looked like a bunch of high school students were running it (including the cook). We ordered fried and fillets on the grill. The cook took the fillets FROZEN from the freezer and placed them in batter to fry and directly on the hot grill; yes FROZEN. Unfortunately its like a fast-food restaurant where you pay first and get your food later. I asked the cook what he was doing cooking fish when its frozen. He told me that this how its done. I replied that its absolutely not how its done; especially the one he put on the grill. I asked for my money back but they wouldnt give it. I asked for the manager and again, a young high school looking kid, told me that Id have to complain to head office. So thats what youll get from Halibut House of Fish and Chips.

Service is very good and food quality and portions were better than expected

Really good fish and chips at a reasonable price with friendly efficient service. A real positive surprise!

Great spot for fish and chips fresh fish and hand cut french fries with amazing service

Decent food. Friend had me meet there for the Monday special. Happy with choice. Not my regular fair. Certainly clean and safe

One of the best halibut and chips in the area. Good portions, taste and value.

THIS PLACE ROCKS!! great prices. I don t think there s a cheaper place in Toronto to get breakfast. Employees are awesome and super friendly.

Great food and variety. Friendly staff and good service just a bit expensive.

Their fish & chips are just delicious! Highly recommend this place

Slow service and small portion on the unbattered fish. Especially the halibut.

Nice fish and chips restaurant! Staff were friendly and helpful with my order.

Competitive pricing, very friendly staff. I dont like the neighborhood because of the traffic, but the location has good parking and is relatively easy to find. Caesar salad was tasty but also a little watery. Too much of the white crunchy middle part of the lettuce leaf and not enough of the dark green part. I got 2 pieces of haddock, 1 fry, coleslaw, gravy and salad for $42 with tax. Very good gravy. I liked doing business with HH because its a chain and Ive been to other locations and I knew what to expect. I will definitely be back.

Most definitely will be eating here again. Great food nice staff

Staff were very friendly. Service prompt. Food was tasty. What more can you ask for? I will definitely be back. Parking: Lots of free parking in the lot Kid-friendliness: Highchair available plus kids menu

Id love bigger tables as we frequently bring more than just our family, but the fish is good, the chips are as expected, staff are friendly and hustle, whats not to like?

Great food and wonderful staff Parking: Lots of parking Recommended dishes

Got the cod special and it was great! The batter was good, not too much and fried crispy. Good portion. Came with fries, which are unsalted, and coleslaw. The slaw was really good, not too creamy and more on the sour size. Will go again for sure! Staff were friendly.

Very good fish and chips gravy is spot on

I went with my mom and sister, we all loved the seafood chowder and sole fish and chips. Excellent service. Highly recomend it.

I was very impressed, bathroom very clean, food not greasy, tasted great, excellent service friendly, great lunch special, brought my friend and she was very impressed as well. Will definitely be back Parking: Lots of parking in metro plaza Kid-friendliness: Lots of table space for families Wheelchair accessibility: Yes main floor lots of table space

Large plates of food,clean restaurant,large booths there was 3 of us and the booths could easily hold 3 more., very friendly polite and helpful staff. Nice size piece of fish,good coleslaw,lots of fries, tasty shrimp, and nice amount of rice.

I was kind of disappointed. The fries were really dry and the piece of halibut was dry as well and really oily.

The food was great, but this is another business that caters to online orders more than dine in customers. Was never asked if I wanted more coffee, how my food was, no service at all once the food was placed on our table. We left wanting cheesecake and another coffee, but was told they are busy in the back with orders. I also witnessed a family place their orders and sat waiting for 20 minutes before leaving as there food was never made. Too many businesses sacrifice dine in guests to online orders and lose in the end. Will not return to this location.

It was pretty good. A bit of a mix up w the order but it was fixed no problem

Great breakfast, great service and great value! $4.95 breakfast was great value and filling. I will definitely be back!

Although I didnt really like the fish much because it was missing flavor and seasoning I did enjoy the service I received

Very average breakfast

Tasted like old grease. Fries where not bad In some dinners but mostly hard and burnt in others. I would not return to this location. Personally I would drive down to their lakeshore location as I have before.

One of the worst places for fish and chips. The choudar is the worst ever. Totally frozen stuff and taste less.

Food would have been a 5 but the slaw, while flavorful, was a bit oily

Ordered halibut & chips. Got large portions of both. Halibut was good but a bit undercooked. Fries were a bit too crispy. Online menu prices should be updated. The in store takeout menu is about 25% more.

Fresh , tasty and hot . Crispy Fast service .
