Fish & Chips Restaurants near North York, ON

“Hidden gem for some AMAZING fish and chips run by a mom and pop duo at Peanut Plaza for ages. It’s our go to place when we are craving some really good old fashioned fish and chips :)

We got the daily special fish and chips combo. It’s $11 with tax (see picture). A steal to find and definitely worth it since it will put you into a good food coma afterwards.

The daily special fish and chips combo comes with a good sized haddock fish, lots of crispy chips, choice of coleslaw or gravy, and a pop. The haddock is awesome. It’s nicely battered to make it crispy on the outside while maintaining that nice flaky fish goodness on the inside. Also, the gravy is a must. It goes so good with the crispy chips.

Heads up, limited seating. It’s more of a take out fish and chips shop.“

“Ordered fish and (sweet potato)chips for takeout and it was excellent! The fish stayed crispy even after the short drive home, and the batter had that perfect crunch without being too oily. The fries traveled surprisingly well and were still hot when I opened the box. Everything was packed neatly with sauces on the side so nothing got soggy. Portions were generous, and the order was ready right on time. Definitely my new go-to spot for takeout fish and chips. Emma was amazing too ⚡️🫶🏻“

“Fish lovers will love this restaurant as you can find many different styles of fish dishes there, such as spicy, stir fried, hot pot...etc. If you don't eat fish, they also offer beef/pork/noodles and rice I'm their menu. We ordered the lotus slice as the appetizer, it's surprisingly good, tiny bit of spicy and sour taste, very refreshing.“

“Delicious Food and the staff makes you feel like family. will be back to try more menu items.“

“Food use to taste 😋 great when he first opened. But lately 😕 it's not up to par. Cheeseburgers use to be great but not any more. The bun was totally soggy from the toppings.
Fries were good 👍 but I tossed my pricey burger in the garbage. The man who served was unpleasant. He looked at me with utter disdain for white non muslim woman of 70..never again will I go there
I was one of the first customers. Owner was not working that day..I will tell him of the lousy food and service“

“I think this Fish 'n Chip shop is great. The owners are pleasant. The place is clean and the customers all seem to be enjoying themselves and the meal.“

“Great people. Great food. Support your local business.“

“This is our favourite fish and chips restaurant. The service is excellent and the food is always hot and delicious. They have some nice cold beer to go with your meal. Even if there is a line up, we have never waited longer than 15 minutes. Worth the wait.“

“All in all good food for good prices. Definitely going back.“

“One of those iconic fish and chips spots in Toronto. This spot has been around for a minute and for good reason.

The fish batter is a light golden colour as opposed to the deep golden colour. This makes it not as greasy which makes for a lighter bite.

That being said, the batter is still crisp and the fish is still flaky. The fries are also really good here.

Service was great. Super quick and once you order, they bring the food to your table.

Parking is tough in this lot since there’s so many spots to eat at and not enough spots for how many places there are. So will have to be patient waiting for a spot when it’s a full lot. As well, if you find a spot, don’t try for a better one, take the first one you see.

Great job overall“

“the food is excellent the fries are really good and of course the fish sometimes at other places you get fish but the fries are not as good. here all is delicious“

“Great food, great prices!“

“My first visit to Queensway Fish and Chips was nothing short of excellent. The restaurant carries a timeless charm, reminiscent of an era when service and quality were the cornerstones of dining. Unlike many modern establishments that rely on mass-produced, frozen offerings and bare-bones interiors, Queensway stands out with its commitment to fresh preparation, attentive service, and a warm, nostalgic atmosphere.

The space is exceptionally clean, and the décor evokes a comfortable, old-fashioned feel that is increasingly rare to find. It’s clear why this business has endured over the years: their fish is cooked to order, ensuring a crisp and flavorful result, and the staff provide service that feels both genuine and thoughtful.“

“We were a Family of 5, with one senior in a wheel chair. Restaurant was accessible. We ordered the family meal. 10 pc of fish, massive plate of fries, big plate of coleslaw, gravy for the fries, and large plate of tarter. The food came out fast, hot, and absolutely delicious. Didn't have time to take more pictures, food was devoured fast. Thank you to this wonder family run Fish and chip place that hit the spot.“

“We recommend it absolutely! My partner and I both had the Haddock fish and chips. We were looking for gluten-free options near the music hall and we found this little gem. She said the fish and chips were some of the best she’s had, not even accounting for the gluten free aspect! We would definitely come here again 100%.“

“As a Brit who hasn't been home for a little while I was craving some good old fish and chips. The cod and chips were pretty close to what I get back home, although not quite the same but the best I've had in Canada so far. Food taste and portions were great but the only negative was that I had to wait 25 minutes for it to be ready. Not sure how the UK churns them out so quickly but wait time here was the thing that let them down. That being said, it was worth the wait if you're craving fish and chips.“

“We just at the single best fish and chips dinner of our lives!!! Holy mackerel!! This was excellent!! Onion rings are to die for!“

“Halibut House in Thornhill has a very good atmosphere with a big, neat dining saloon that feels comfortable and inviting. The staff are welcoming and attentive, especially Rina, who showed great hospitality and made our visit pleasant.

We ordered Halibut and Cod dishes with fries.
The quality was good overall, but the Cod was a bit tasteless, and I’ve had more flavorful fish and chips in other restaurants. That said, the experience was enjoyable, and I might come back to try some of their other dishes.“

“Enjoyed breakfast/brunch on a Sunday morning and boy was the restaurant busy that day! Good space with lots of tables. Lots of parking available.

Service was great. We were quickly shown to a table and provided a menu, followed by drinks of our choosing - ice water and fresh orange juice. Our order was taken promptly. Good number of staff buzzing around at all times.

Now the food!
I love a good eggs benedict so I ordered the Kotsy Benny. Most places give two eggs, but they give three made to your preference. The plate was full, with home fries (went with fried, will try grilled next time) and a salad. Overall the food came fresh and hot, tasted great and I really enjoyed their hollandaise. My wife enjoyed an eggs benedict with steak that looked just as good. We left quite full and happy!

Will look to go back and try some other dishes and specials.

Summary: Service was great, food tasted great, portions were worth it, and prices were very reasonable.“

“my first time trying the halibut house really impressed I ❤️ there french fries really delicious food 😋 😍“

“Sooo yummy! Lots of available and clean seats in this food court. Its inside Eaton Centre’s new food hall and its very modern and has lots of new and interesting restaurants. I had the shrimp and chips and it was delicious. Also tried the potato salad and it was very flavourful and tasty.“

“Maybe its just me but all fish and chips places are expensive these days huh...I got the fried cod for around $16 (including tax) but it was pretty big. Seasoning is great and it was fried to perfection. This is the only place I'll go to for fish and chips. If youre not sure what type of fish you want, they have 3 and will recommend based on what you like. Ex. If youre looking for something less fishy“

“Delicious seafood of shrimp dumplings, crab cakes made with fresh Atlantic crab with garlic aioli and calamari.

Vegetarian options: Cauliflower taco, roasted sweet potato taco, spicy Korean salad, Caesar salad, sweet & salty brussel sprouts, cauliflower bites.“

“Enjoyed my beef sliders. I will definitely go there again after my dance classes“

“Fantastic fish and chips! Fast friendly service!

I've been to a few different Halibut House locations but this one is my favourite.
It's always clean, the service is attentive and welcoming (thank you to Dina), and the food is amazing!

We had the fish and chips, both halibut.
The food is made fresh to order and it is delicious!
When our orders came to the table, the fish was hot and fresh and not greasy or oily at all. It's crispy, crunchy on the outside, with the perfect amount of batter, not too much, just right. The fish itself was a good portion, thick and steaky.
The fries must be hand cut daily, they are amazing! Thick and crispy, fried to perfection, again not greasy or oily. The portion was huge! I found myself tapping out but continued to eat them all... they were that good!
Even the coleslaw was bang on. It wasn't creamy, which I prefer; fresh, with the right amount of tartness.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meals!

Dina took care of us when we were there and she was great! She's one of the reasons why this location stands out above the others.

Excellent food and service at a good value, highly recommended!“

“Was there on Saturday for lunch. I got the cod and it didn’t disappoint. The fish and the batter were flavorful and the fish was moist. The batter felt very light and not greasy. I usually take the halibut (which is always great) but this time I decided to go with the cod. It was a very nice compromise for quality/price. The fries were excellent. Although there is no table service, the staff was extremely friendly in our interactions.
I’ve been going for years and I will continue going there. I highly recommend it.
Just be aware that there is only outside seating and the space is limited.“

“Had a fantastic experience at The Carbon Bar and Grill! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and casual — the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal.
A special shout-out to Norah for her exceptional service. She made us feel so welcome and truly added a personal touch to our lunch.

We ordered the Halibut Fish and Chips — absolutely delicious! Perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food, a cozy vibe, and outstanding service. Will definitely be back!“

“I usually go to another fish and chips place on the Queensway and I was very reluctant about trying somewhere new (the other place was closed Mondays). To my surprise the fish and chips here was very good! The orders are huge and the lady that was working was very very kind. I’d reccomend the half order of halibut and chips or shrimp and chips. The coleslaw is nice and creamy, the gravy and tartar sauce was spot on however I wasn’t crazy about the calamari. Overall very good, I’d definetly be back!“

“This Fish and Chips place never fails to impress me. Whenever I’m in The Well, this is one of my constant favourites.
I usually order Cod and chips and the other day I came and order it with extra piece of Cod. They thought the original pieces were too small so they gave me extra 2 pcs! This is how you do business, some places would just try to be sneaky if the pieces are too small and it is just up to you to voice it out.

They will have my business for life.“

“Revising to 5 stars on the kind assurance from the owners that the issue with the chips was indeed a one-off. Looking forward to my next order!

They changed the chips 😞. Please tell me this was a one-off and you've already gone back to the previous chips, which were always proper. These ones were obviously manufactured and cooked from frozen, with some sort of 'crispy coating' on them. Not entirely bad, but not right. Captain John has been our reliable go-to for years now, with consistently fresh tasting fish, crispy batter, and (until now) a generous portion of chips cut from fresh potatoes. Delivery is fast, the food is still piping hot on arrival, and it's packed in carboard and paper so everything stays crispy.... I might give one more try but if the chips are still the new and NOT improved ones, I'm not sure I'll continue ordering from here.“

“Just finished an amazing meal (BLT with fries and a fresh fruit salad) with the kindest server (the owner) it had a very welcoming, happy vibe too! We also enjoyed the art up on the walls. Will come back for sure!“

“Great food, excellent service.“

“GREAT BURGERS, ONION RINGS and SERVICE!!! I can't wait to go back and eat there again!!! 10 outta 10!!!“

“I don't think it's fair to give this place low ratings for not meeting the superb standard that was set by the previous owner. This place is not a franchise.

I went for dinner on late Sunday night. The restaurant looks old and not very well lit. As other reviewers have mentioned, the restaurant is run by only one staff. He tried to make my dining experience comfortable: offering counters with a wider seatings and turned on additional lights while I read the menu.

I ordered the halibut fish and chips, and the fried fish checks all the boxes. It is not dry, flaky, not over-battered, and have fair portion size. Fries can get a bit dry after a few minutes, but I was allowed to use as much condiments as I desired with the large squeeze bottle. The tartar sauce is standard to
the majority's taste bud - not overly sour or sweet.

Sure this place may no longer be the "hidden gem" or "the local's favourite", but it still has its own charm and imperfection like any locally own restaurant. It offers budget option (the lunch size halibut) which are all under $20. It runs from 7am to 9pm everyday. It is halal friendly. The dining area is rustic but good for those who wants to have a quick yet decent meal without sitting among the crowd (something that seems harder to avoid in Markham as times goes on).

I will eat here again whenever I get a craving for fish and chips.“

“Best place ever! Service impeccable, food always amazing.“
