“Updated with those changes:

So I went to this place on a hunch. Saw some pics online, the reviews were solid, and it had an old faded sign... which is usually a very good sign in many ways.

It looked like it had survived the test of time, and I later found out it has been open for 40+ years. That checks out. There was a steady flow of customers the whole time I was there, which is usually all you need to know.

The batter was not like any fish n chips I’ve ever had. I got the haddock. It was flaky, light, crispy, and somehow not heavy at all. Pretty amazing stuff. The onion rings and shrimp were done in the same batter too, and both were great. Price was absolutely reasonable. Will go for Halibut next time.

The coleslaw was also particularly delicious. Diced very finely, creamy, vinegary, and not something that you just leave on the side. Was a perfect compliment to the fish. Chips were proper.

Overall, this place is a very fine fish n chips spot. Easily top 5 in Hamilton. The plaza it’s in keeps it obscure, and doesnt do it justice. But it should be noted that this business is likely the oldest business in the small plaza. This is 100% a hidden gem, and I definitely get the feeling it is legendary among locals as everyone in there seemed very familiar to the place. Staff was lovely as well.

The only thing I would say is they had no salads outside of the amazing coleslaw, and no juice for my son. But honestly, this place is not trying to over deliver on variety. It is simple, knows exactly what it is, and delivers where it matters 100%.

I will definitely bring my father from England, who brought me up on fish n chips. I am sure he will approve with flying colours. What a pleasant discovery Harrys was. Try it for yourself!“

“What an awesome experience at the new Woodstock location - the greeter and servers were efficient, friendly and made you feel welcome!! The Halibut was delicious, light batter, fries and coleslaw very tasty. Well done team!!👍“

“My friend and I drove to B-Side Social from Niagara after winning a dozen free oysters and it did not disappoint! The oysters were so good we ordered an additional dozen along with the caprese salad and it was phenomenal! All of the staff was amazing. The owner (I think) or at least the GM came and chatted with us a few times, she had great energy! Our server Autumn was super cute and did a bang up job! Will def recommend and return!“

“Amazing food, delicious drinks, and outstanding service!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food and service are all top notch! Best steak in Hamilton!“

“My partner and I went out for dinner last night to celebrate, and we had such a wonderful experience. We started at the bar, where our bartender was incredibly friendly, charismatic, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

For our starter, we ordered the bao, which was packed with flavour and absolutely delicious. We both chose pizza for our mains, and they were some of the most authentic pizzas we’ve had outside of Italy. That’s not an easy feat, and it’s something not every restaurant can pull off.

We dined on the covered patio, which had a lovely atmosphere. The only downside was that, because it’s enclosed, it became quite loud and made conversation a little difficult.

Overall, we were very impressed with both the food and the service. It was a fantastic way to celebrate, and we’ll definitely be back!“

“Great place and atmosphere“

“Amazing fish n chips. Huge portion. Ordered the family package and it was more than we could eat. Tons of tartar sauce which in our family is a must. You can call ahead and order and pick up very fast. Service was good. Cash only!! I learned the hard way. $50 all in for family package. You choose the type of fish you prefer as well.“

“I absolutely love this place! We've ordered multiple times, and each time it was great. We will definitely be ordering again.“
