I like to write an update to reviews because consistency for me is key to coming back. I've been back to this location many, many times and its always great. They've expanded the seating as well which is very nice. The quality is fantastic and by far the best fish and chips on the north shore! read more

Great service and a great deal for all you can eat deep fried cod and fries including a soft drink for under $20. The servings are reasonable and not a ton of fries and you're welcome to order more fish alone if you need more. Fish was tender and nicely coated in a crispy batter. read more

The best fish and chips going! All varieties of fish and seafood offered are extremely fresh and delicious; batter's thin and both fish and chips are crisp, coming in very large portions. Quick, friendly service for both restaurant and take-out, with an open, busy, efficient and very clean kitchen greeting patrons on entry - a really good sign! The restaurant itself is bright, well-maintained - not fancy, but need not be, the food speaks for itself - and again, very clean. This restaurant is usually busy and just renovated to include a previous storage area within the restaurant. Not only is the food great but also excellent value. read more

C-Lovers Fish & Chips is my "go to" place for fish & chips on the North Shore. This place is one of my favourites, lots of good memories and celebrations here. I've taken guests to eat here and they've loved it too, particularly the Seafood Chowder. It's a crowd pleaser. There's a sign on their door that says they serve 100% Ocean Wise, sustainable seafood. I glimpsed some Cod, Haddock, Halibut, Alaskan Pollock, Oysters, and Salmon on the menu with optional add-ons like prawns, deep fried pickles, or onion rings. Takeout combos are convenient options too. Pro Tip: Broil your takeout in the oven for a few minutes before serving. They're Ocean Wise partners of Vancouver Aquarium, so when you eat here you know you're supporting sustainable catch or farmed fish - no overfishing. C-You Next Time, C-Lovers! read more

We have been coming here for many, many years and undoubtedly this is the worst meal we have ever had there. The fries were obviously old and erefried in order to revitalize them. Unfortunately, it was an epic fail because we were left with dark, very oily remnants of what should've resembled fries. The fish was substandard as well. The batter wasn't its usual crispy self and a few mouthfuls of the fish were not as expected, leaving an off taste. On a positive note, the service was as it always is, excellent. She was courteous, efficient and anticipated our needs. Prices being as they are these days it's important to keep the patrons coming back. We realize it's a difficult go for all the restaurants and service related industries but if your customers aren't happy, they may not be moved to write a review.....but the end result is that they will not come back and maybe in the worst case scenario they'll tell two friends, who will tell two friends and so on and so on.... read more

I've been here twice now as its near my work. The service is great, the place is clean and each time I've had good portions for the pricing in my opinion. Easy to park which is nice on the north shore! read more

It's been years since I visited c lovers. (My previous review was almost exactly 5 years ago, to be exact!) So on a sunny weekend after a full day of hiking, my friends and I were super hungry and decided to try out their fish and chips. Well I'm happy to report their fish and chips are still pretty good! The wait staff were friendly as always and were attentive in getting what we needed, be it refills and whatnot. It was late afternoon after the lunch rush so we were seated right away so no wait times. My friends and I were very hungry so we all decided to get the buffet deal. This meal included unlimited fish, chips (fries), and bottomless pop for $16. Not a bad deal at all. The fish was not soaking in grease and more on the crispy side (only some were a little more greasy than I would have liked) and the fries were well sized and cut. And of course, the tartar sauce and ketchup they provided made it taste even better. The drinks were not watered down unlike some fast food places i've been to. Here's an important tip: you wanna equally space out your pop drinks, fries/chips, and fish. If you eat too much of the fish and just order that, you're gonna feel queasy from all that deep fried oily batter in your throat. Eating the fries and drinks really help wash out the over greasy feeling of the deep fried batter. Trust me on this. Too much deep fried food all at once is no bueno! The decor of the walls and floors was exactly the same years ago. I'm gonna nitpick here but it's kinda outdated but still functional and appears clean/sanitized. The tables and chairs could be replaced with more modern and cleaner, nicer looking ones but they are completely functional as it is. As of this writing, the pandemic is still going on so every table was separated by plexiglass and spaced WELL apart from other tables. Masks were mandatory among customers AND staff which was great. I felt pretty safe. The place itself is a little small so all these covid precautions were appreciated. Overall, this is a solid place for fish and chips. If you don't mind greasy deep fried food and are really hungry for good ol' fish and chips, c lovers STILL does not disappoint! read more

We were craving fish and found this little place. We were seated immediately and asked for our drink order. We opted for the unlimited fish & chips. Everything came out hot, perfect, and quickly. The coleslaw was delicious and all the fish was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some fried fish! read more

Had lunch there today in north vancouver , halibut and chips I was craving The best ever ! They put Trolls to shame in horseshoe bay, good on you c lovers. It is not usual for a restaurant after so many years to maintain the QUALITY. But they do. And for that reason I recommend them. The chips were hot, the fish excellent, fresh, and non greasy. Special thank you to the cooks in the kitchen around 2.30 pm and a thank you to my server who also was on top of it all. read more

All you can eat fish and chips is a joke it's all can eat batter you need a magnifying glass to see the fish This used to be a great place to eat I talked to the manager he said that it's head office that sends it the fish and they are sending little pieces of fish I want be going to this restaurant again They are scrimping on the fish I'd rather pay more money and get real fish I am insulin dependent I have to inject the right amount of insulin 15 minutes before eating. And fish is no carbs so I-ordered all you can eat and gave myself 16 units of fast insulin but it was all batter and that put me over on my carb intake and my blood sugar went and spiked. I then had to correct my blood sugar and inject more fast acting insulin to correct my diabetes read more

Been going regularly for a few years. Always the same... great! The quality of the haddock and chips is excellent. However, if you don't order the "dinner " which includes a roll and Cole Slaw, the food comes on a plate that is too small. I know, it's a niggling thing but, the plate is too small. read more

I rarely give 5 stars to any AYCE restaurants but this one most certainly deserves it. Food is exactly what you expect. Tons of fish and chips, slightly greasy. Service is wonderful I wish they have more of these restaurants in Vancouver and richmond This is better than most 50 dollar AYCE places in terms of quality read more

I consider myself a fish and chips aficionado and I must say C-Lovers offers some of the best around. Our halibut was delicious, perfectly fried and melted in our mouths. The fries were crisp and the tartar sauce was just how I like it. I appreciated being offered malt vinegar as well. The portions were quite large- my partner and I ordered a 2 piece and split it and my mom ordered a lighter fare which was also quite large. The North van location was set back from the street but seemed clean and service was friendly and quick. read more

We ordered 2 pieces Halibut and 2 pieces Haddock and chips. We waited for only ten minutes to get our order. When we opened wrapping, we noticed we didn't have any tartar sauces. I'm not sure if we need to ask or order for it. The food tastes great though. read more

This is one good place for some fried fish! I remember hearing, and trying these guys acouple years back at a booth at the PNE. I thought it was good there, and then I got to try it at one of their many locations around town, and this is way better than there frying truck at the fair! Hidden along Marine Drive in North Vancouver behind the Church's Chicken, this place is not cheap, and the day I was there, the food didn't even come out fast, but I will say it was fresh for freshly fried and hot out of the fryer! We did not stay to eat, but noticed that many were here for a sit in lunch, and looking up at the chalkboard menu, they were probably here for the "All you can eat" Fish & Chips for $10.99. I do not know how mucn you can eat of this stuff, really, but if you can eat, I guess this is a deal. We had two pieces of regular Fish and Chips, with a side of coleslaw, and as with any place you do take out for this stuff, it's wrapped in the classic paper, then newspaper. The fish was nice and tender, and they didn't over batter the fish, like some places. I probably will come again if I'm craving a greasy meal. read more

Great food. Reasonable prices. Most everything is deep fried so best to order small portions. Staff are friendly and attentive it's not as busy as it used to be. Always a favourite with the locals especially seniors. They are famous for the all you can eat and drink fish and chips and pop deal or you can order the mixed seafood platter with fried oysters, prawns and fish. read more

Halibut and chips and their coleslaw- all consistently great. I always pick up and the service is fast and friendly.

This is now my favourite fish and chips place on the north shore. No, it's my favourite in the lower mainland. Yes I stand corrected . How could I say this after only eating here once? Well, it's the crispy batter that wasn't too thick and it was the fresh steaming fish cooked to perfection and it wasn't greasy compared to some other places I've been to. You hear about White Spot raving about their fish and chips and they don't come close. They might as well be serving up Captain Highliners frozen paddock as far as they're concerned. This place at C-Lovers is legit. The cod? get it. The shrimp and other little morsels that is done up battered and deep fried got them too. Soup? Yes....... I got it. And I think you will too. read more

after years of Good Friday get togethers with friends for fish and chips from here, 2024 is the last time. Suspect rancid oil was used; dinners for 7 went into the garbage because they were inedible. I don't know what's happened because for years this has been our go-to. Very disappointing. read more

Great place to get seafood! I ordered halibut and the C-food chowder. Both were wonderful and good sized portions. Staff is just as good as the delicious food. Loved the local beer too! You can't go wrong here and the prices are great! read more

Ordered the all you and can eat fish and chips that came with unlimited pop as well. The fish and chips were served after a short wait and came pipin hot and crispy. The fish was delicious, especially with some lemon and tartare sauce. They also had some malt vinegar that paired well with the fish. Such kind and friendly staff that delivered us fresh fish, chips, and pop when asked. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone with a fish and chips craving! read more

This location of C-Lovers is as good as it gets for Fish n Chips. The fish is tasty and perfectly battered. Not over battered like in Cockney Kings. The fish pieces are bigger compared to the pieces served at the Coquitlam location. Nice welcoming atmosphere. & the Servers are pretty. read more

Had the AYCE fish and chips today. The fish type is limited to haddock but it is limitless fish & chips, as well as bottomless pop. The fish is freshly fried, and it is crispy not oily. Service is great. The place is well sanitized and follows good COVID procedures such as taking down numbers, etc. All in all a good establishment with sold foods. Next time we would try a la carte due to the limit choices for AYCE fish and chops. read more

My dad loved the all you could eat fish! Will go back anytime we are in the Vancouver Canada area. They cut there own French fry's, and make great batter. We enjoyed the corn dog and other fired food. But they should add mozzarella sticks read more

Delicious all-you-can-eat Fish & Chips, all the time, with a menu of other Fish & Chip shop selections if you prefer. Nice fresh coleslaw, the tartar sauce is great, too. It's simple food, but easy to mess it up badly, and in all the years I've been coming here, they never have. BTW, the chips are natural, freshly cut, and crispy! read more

I have been to various C-Lovers and enjoy the AYCE. Was recently at the N Van location and was very disappointed. Asked to have the fish lightly cooked and both plates I had came over cooked. Dark brown and very crispy dry fish. This has happened the last 3 times I've been there. Will not go a forth time to this location. read more

C lovers fish n chips north shore all you can eat fish n chips. Not much to say here . The fish is ocean wise which is always important for sustainability I believe it's cod. Batter always very crispy. Fries always crispy . Tartar sauce nice n tart . All the condiments on the table right for you salt pepper both vinegar and malt vinegar ketchup. Take out counter in the front. This a must for fish and chips lovers. Try the prawn add on read more

Gone downhill. Fish with AYCE is tiny. Long waits not uncommon. The only redeeming qualities is the batter isn't too thick and fish oily. Their coleslaw is way too sweet. No Coke, only Pepsi. read more

We ordered fish and chips on Mother's Day from the NorthVancouver location...it was really busy in there I'm sure because it was Mother's Day..but we ordered the three Piece halibut with fries and a large coleslaw..the halibut was so over cooked it tasted horrible..we were craving fish and chips for awhile and it was a disappointment to say the leas..my hunny said he saw all the orders lined up on the side so I'm sure ours wasn't the only over cooked fish that went out that ev just got a phone call from the boss saying he would replace our meal for us..awesome customer service read more

Should not have ordered the all you can eat fish and chips. I assumed that it would be cod fish but it was not it is Pollock which I found to be dry and plain tasting. I wish they would say this on their menu, maybe I missed it somewhere. The onion rings and fries were really good but I wish I would have ordered the cod and fries instead of the all you can eat. read more

The first time I went to C-Lovers 7 years ago, I loved it. I thought their batter was nice and light and that their tartar sauce was very good. I remember going back to this particular location several times. the last time was about a year or so ago when we took relatives from out of town who were craving fish and chips. Sad to say that on my last visit on Tuesday last week, my family and I were very disappointed. We went for the all you can AYCE fish and chips with bottomless pop. I think money-wise, it was a good deal for $11.95. Sad to say that was all that was good about it. Service was alright. We received our orders promptly and the food was served nice and hot. The fish tatsed like it was fried in stale oil. No matter how light and crispy the batter was, the flavour of the oil ruined the taste of the fish for me. The tartar suace that I used to love lacked flavour. It tasted like straight up mayo. I had to add a bit of vinegar and salt to it to give it some zip. Service was alright. We received our orders promptly and the food was served nice and hot. Because of this experience, I don't think we wouldbe going back to C-Lovers for fish and chips anymore. read more

Absolutely the best fish and chips I have had in the Vancouver area. For about $7.00 I got the one piece cod and chips, and I could have easily split it with a friend. The chips are homemade, the fish is fresh, the pieces of fish are large, the batter is perfect and not too thick or falling off. Nothing is oversalted. It has a decent sit down area, but of course for fish and chips I almost felt I had to do take-away. The menu is fairly limited to fish and chips, but they had halibut and cod. Also some oyster and prawn dishes that did not interest me. Overall, if you're in the area, a must try. If you're not, it's worth a drive. read more

Most definitely, hands down, the best fish and chips place in Vancouver. I've been to quite a few of em, and this is the place that I keep thinking about whenever I get a hankering for some good ol' fish n chips. The batter is perfectly crisp, and is much lighter than the other places I've been to. The light batter doesn't engulf the fish's taste, and it doesn't fall off the meat. Onion rings and oysters....delicious! And gigantic! And I always say that a good down home restaurant can be defined on how their fries are, and C-Lovers fries are done just right...! Let's face it, fish n chips will always be oily. But because of the thin batter that they use, it's not nearly as oily as the other heavier battered fish n chip places, that leave you feeling like an oil tanker. My favourite has always been the North Van Platter (or C-Lovers Platter, in other branches apart from the one in North Vancouver), which has a little bit of everything that I like. I'm not too fond of the price hike since I first started coming here, but it's definitely worth it. After all, I don't think it's a good idea to be eating fish n chips more than once a week (maybe two time's at the most), so the prices are quite affordable for a treat. You want fish n chips while you're in Vancouver? C-Lovers is the place to go. read more

My boyfriend and I used to come here every week and then we started getting really fat. We still come at least once a month. The all you can eat fish and chips are GREAT quality, an amazing price (although, they upped it $1...sneaky bastards), still a great value. Extremely nice waitresses, except we did encounter one problem with a girl we don't usually see there who was quite rude, our usual waitress and the ones that are there for the post part are WONDERFUL and always check up on you, get you refills, make small talk, etc. Really great date night or family restaurant. 5/5 Would recommend. read more

I have been to this place before couple years ago. The most attractive part of this restaurant is about $13 all you can eat fish n chips. This deal still exist but they give you smaller cod than they did in the past, although you won't expect them to survive too long if everybody order this. But overall the quantity is still good as the the fried fish and fries are very hot when served and the coat on the fish is thin. read more

We stopped at C-lovers to grab a parcel of fish 'n chips to take with us on a picnic at Cleveland Dam (the bottom of Grouse Mountain). The staff were a young team of friendly guys and gals and although we didn't eat in, the dining room seemed clean and pretty comfortable for a fish 'n chip joint. The prices seemed a little high for me ($12.95 for 2x haddock and chips?) but I totally admit that I may be in a time-warp when it comes to fish 'n chip prices. Fish 'n Chips were a Friday staple throughout my child hood in New Zealand and the expression "cheap as chips" was correct - you could feed the whole family for $15! BUT, that was a solid 20 years ago so I'll cut them some slack. The haddock we got was nice and fresh and firm, the chips (fries, ok...fries!!) were OK, not great but I have certainly had worse. I did sample the "Oyster Burger" - 3 deep friend oyster served in a bun with coleslaw. Kind of crazy, fairly yummy, definitely give them points for originality! Overall, C-Lovers was A-OK. Nothing to write home about, but certainly no complaints. read more
