This was the first time in many years when we choose something other than Chinese food for New Year’s Eve dinner. We ordered 8 meals of fish and chips. I specifically asked for tartar sauce and indicated that we had 8 dishes so please keep that in mind. Normally you would get around 3 packs of tarter space. We were short changed on tartar sauce. Very disappointed. The portion as well was small. They are known for large portions but not tonight.

I ordered for delivery, fish bites, chips deluxe. I'm disappointed with my meal. Everything looked great, until I went to eat the fish bites. My fish bites were mostly batter. I can't believe that the restaurant would let that leave as an order. Also, the complete order took over 1 hr and 30 mins to come, and I actually had to call to see, how much longer, the order was going to be. I believe it was really busy there, but the time it took to come, and the fish being mostly batter, with very little, to no fish inside, is shameful.
This is the first time I've ordered from here, and I really think it is the last. Don't waste your money here, its not worth it. The phone call was filled with crackling and static, on their side. Just stay away.

I find the oil the fries and fish is cooked in was old. It makes it for an unpleasant meal even though the fish was very good I noticed this the previous two visits. We've asked them when they change the oil they say they do it daily but I really don't think so. Yes even though it's fast food it should be fresh food.

I had breakfast with a friend last week. The food wasn’t hot. The hashbrowns were dried up, the toutons were almost inedible. They were tough and I could hardly cut them, the beans were luke warm, the fish cake was horrible, dry and crumbly. Everything had bits of egg on it from being cooked on the same grill I’m assuming. Same grill is fine but I mean, I was picking dried egg off my food. The bacon and the coffee were the only decent things I had and the coffee wasn’t great. It was a huge waste of $30 that could have been spent anywhere else for a good meal.

I haven't had Big R for almost 15 years. Was home for just a few days and wanted Jiggs some bad. This restaurant was the only one that had it on a Thursday. To say it was the best feed is an understatement 😋 it a spot I didn't know need to be hit! Also picked at my company's fish and chips and it tastes the same as it did as when I was a kid. Wish I had more time to stop by again but until next summer 🥂

Bought seafood chowder a a few more items came to $50 food was slapped together anyway at all this is what they are charging people 10 bucks for not real seafood chowder at all looks and tastes like a mix
We had the chicken (leg/thigh) and chips and shrimp and fries. Both were very good. Comfortable seating and atmosphere. Good down home cooking. Simple, but good!

I paid 11.30 for a medium fries d&g and the plate was not even filled. signage in store says " You always get big portions at the Big R", I certainly beg to differ. disgraceful cost for a medium fries. Last time.
Service was fine, friendly bunch. Fish was so bad, very greasy.
