Normally we just get take out and I always enjoy my halibut from Pat & Hanks. The Tuesday specials are great value. My son had the New Zealand Blue Cod and the portions were huge. The fries taste exactly like they did when I first started eating P&H back in the late 60’s South Windsor.

November 30, 2024

Just got our order from them and the fish is so mushy like the baked it halfway. We put it in the air fryer and thank god I had the time to look at everything else because the rolls were moldy. I'm sure eating mold while pregnant would not have been very good for me.

very disappointed in the portion size of the full halibut meal for the price. Everyone had to reorder hot fries which we received and one person had to request a soup spoon for the chowder. However, the company we were dining with was exceptional..sorry won't be back..

Came here on a Tuesday and got the Cod special for $13.99. for 2 pieces of cod, fries, coleslaw and a bun, it's the best deal!!! Very very good.

I finally made it out there to try Pat & Hank's fish and chips and here is my review based on what I have ordered. I went there at lunch time on a Wednesday and the place was empty. I had met the cook outside before I walked in and I told him it is my first time here, so he recommended the tilapia fish, which is their signature dish. So, I gave my order to the waitress and she said that the order comes with bread roll, fries and coleslaw and it should not be long to have it ready. She went to the service station and right away I heard the her place the bread roll in a microwave at the service station which was few feet away from me before she served it to me (not a big fan of microwave) and I believe resturants shouk not use a microwave to heat up bread because it makes it chew. Not even 8 minutes later she brought my order and I can tell that it was not freshly prepared. It looks like they prep their fish pieces with batter and freeze it ahead of time. The fries were not cooked properly and were still raw from inside. After all, It was a decent experience but I think it is not something I would crave to have again and I will be on the hunt for the best fish and chips in the Windsor area. Customer service was excellent and deserves 5 stars.

This’s our first and last time to order from this place. The service was perfect but the food was really oily. The popcorn shrimp was a day or two old and heated up by microwave or refried. I don’t recommend it but you can give it a try that’s my opinion.

My opinion Pat and Hanks is a little more on the expensive side for halibut but my wife prefers it so thats where I purchased it. This was a take out but that being said, service was excellent from ordering to pickup.

September 23, 2024

Ordered the tues special, got home and it was 3 of the smallest pieces ever. I called to complain and was told I wasnt the first to call with a complaint. I was offered 1 extra (tiny pc) on my next order. Next order?? Ill never waste my money there again. If you know the pieces are small, add extra to save your customer. The first piece I bit in to was sooo fishy! I was too mad to call back. Ill be spreading the word about this rip off. To reply to their comment, $13.95 plus tax and tip, cost me $17. We have way better fish frys at home, and were not a restaurant.

Ive been ordering from this restaurant for a very long time. Today, I realize after getting home, there was no tartar sauce. I phoned them to inquire about it and received a snarky reply from the boy that I did not receive any because I did not order any! No apology, just sarcasm. Never in my life have I ever had to order tarter sauce packets with fish dinners. So all the way back to the restaurant I go. Thanks Pat & Hanks for a nice cold fish and shrimp dinner after a long day at work. Much appreciated.

This place is a second location of a Windsor staple. Some would say that theee guys have the best fish and chips in town but honestly I dont know that I have the pallet to be able to make that call. Its delicious though and the only thing fishy is how awesome the French fries are.

We moved here in Nov/22 and fell in love with this place. The food is wonderful. Unfortunately, over the last couple of months, we have noticed that the portion size of the junior pack has decreased by 1/3. Today was the worst yet. Every piece was tiny and the amount of chips was down by 1/4 to a 1/3. We are so disappointed as this was our go-to place to take-out.

I have been coming here for years. I was in for lunch with a friend about a month ago. When our fish n chips arrived it looked nothing like the usual golden batter and fresh fries, it was very dark batter and overcooked chips. I asked if they had changed hands and they hadn t. I told the waitress how bad it was and she apologized and didn t charge. She said the oil probably needed to be changed. There were no other patrons in there. Why would you serve food like this. I will probably never go back. I went to the new Frydays on Manning and it was excellent so that is the place to go.

I have been ordering from this location for over 20 yrs. Decided to order halibut instead of the cod dinner and the portion has changed dramatically. When I called I was made to feel like I was trying to receive a free dinner when I just requested a change to the cod dinner. Terrible experience from someone that works in the customer service industry

The food was delicious and large portions. The server was nice . It was so full 2-3 people were sitting at tables set for 6-8. Serving time was ridiculously slow for drink order/menus and to actually be served our order. Will eat again but only as carry-out. Updated on May 4th 2020 to add: tried carryout tonight. I got the halibut and shrimp combo. The halibut was delicious. That is all I have nice to say. Now as the halibut was gold, the shrimp was quite brown in color as were the fries. All you could taste was overcooked and oily. Will never order here again.

I havent ordered food here for about 6 months. I ordered 2 full sized halibut dinners. When I got home and opened containers, there was alot less fries and no buns. Its also not like you get a large portion of fish either. Im not in hurry to come back but when I do the only deals are the specials for $10.00 or the big family serving of fish for $55.00. Then one could add their own sides. As it stands I paid $52.00 for 2 fish dinners and a hamburg. deluxe
