It's my first time at Halibut House and I wanted to try a variety from their menu so we ordered the…read morecod and chips, chicken souvlaki and calamari. The fish and chips are solid choices and they live up to their name. A good amount of chips that come with the meal. I think for the price we were a bit disappointed by the quantity of the calamari and for the chicken souvlaki, a bit sad looking (see pic) and not as flavourful or just below par. Definitely skip the souvlaki here and get what they're known for. Plenty of seating inside the restaurant. However, we just ordered for takeout.

I've visited this Halibut House location in Thornhill, this time for dine-in…read more I ordered the lunch size halibut And Right off the bat , the waitress said it is "this small with a hand gesture". I said ok no problem Upon my food arriving it was pretty small ( look at pic). And I would have given a 1 star review But I must say the halibut (even though miniature in size) was actually crispy and flavourful and even though I didn't take a picture, the fish was pretty thick. Therefore my reason for 3 stars. Also, the fries were not quite right for a fish and chips shoppe. Either they were frozen or they were re-cooked for too long and they were hard, bland and tasteless. I will still keep my review at 3 stars. But I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. Sorry, hope they can do better for other patrons.

Halibut House is a place that specializes in our beloved fish & chips. A small establishment from…read morePort Perry that grew over the past decade to become a large fish & chip franchise in Ontario. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but inspired our fish appetite! Haddock & Chips order had an impressively sized fish fillet piece along with plenty of thick cut fries underneath. For takeout, we were peeved that they used pre-packed condiments for tartar sauce rather than provide some homemade or dine-in option. But the fish itself was golden & crunchy on the outside with pleasant flaky fillet texture inside. Well worth it, and they even offer $11 Sun/Mon specials. As for the Halibut & Chips, we were sadly underwhelmed by our first attempt. The fish is firm, mild in flavour with perhaps a little bit of sweetness. It tasted rather bland. We may have to try it fresh to see if it's an acquired taste. Otherwise we'll stick to cod/haddock. The fries accompanying both were a tad soggy but did a bit better with a splash of S&P. To be honest, we've had comparable fish & chips elsewhere. We've even started to rely on our own air fryer at home to cut some grease. However, for convenience it's good to know that Halibut House is a fish & chip option just a stone's throw away from us!

When I saw the lady making it, I thought WOW it's a big piece of halibut for that price But To my dismay, the halibut was just average. (Honestly I'm not sure it was halibut as it was a little too moist and not firm enough) I was debating on giving lower rating and 3 stars But I must say this place is ok in my books There is one lady handling the rush, I went at lunch time and there was a steady stream of students and workers lining up for their haddock special and poutine. The one lady was awesome taking orders, taking payments and pumping out the food. Kudos to her and her one woman show. Back to the halibut (if it was indeed halibut) I will say the batter was nice and crispy and the home cut fries were amazing. I can see why there was a steady stream of business for the poutine. And, that is the reason for the 4 stars minus 1 star for the ??? Halibut ??? Otherwise everything else about this place is phenomenal.

Prices here are beyond very reasonable. This was a fried take-out treat for my spouse. The chips had a slightly hydrogenated oil aftertaste which was a bit of a turnoff. Fish better than the chips. The owners are very nice to their customers. This is a once in a blue moon thing.

This time we ordered choice of 2 from the lobster festival menu with mashed potato topped with lobster (added $7.99) The lobster was cooked right this time, but significantly smaller than ever. Basically we paid $65 just for three tiny dishes, the presentation is really not something you would like to dive in. The dinning hall is still the same decoration for so many years, but it has its special classic feels. The service is very efficient, our favorite cheddar bay biscuit was brought to us as soon as we sat down, it was quite busy Friday night, but everything was in good order.

It's been over 25 years since I last visited a Red lobster (Honolulu location), seafood was…read moremediocre but their free Cheddar Bay biscuits were to die for. Past by this Ontario location so many times and it brought back memories of my Honolulu life. Decided to come on a Sunday approx 1200, at first I thought the place was closed due to an empty parking lot and no activity at the front entrance. but I guess it was early as other diners started to show up after we were seated but still not busy compared to other places I've gone to on a Sunday afternoon. Hyosung was our server, she took the time to explain the menu and the specials, very nice and efficient, checked on us a few times while we were devouring the seafood. I've waited over 25 years for their Cheddar Bay biscuits and they did not disappoint. Flakey moist crusty cheddary (not enough adjectives) goodness, just like I remembered. We ordered a bowl (not a cup) of clam chowder. A nice delicate creamy soup base with potatoes and nice tender flavorful clam chunks. We went with the Mariner's boil (check out menu), more than enough seafood for two. We went with the garlic butter sauce instead of the Cajun seasoning. Glad we did, if you like garlic and butter, you've just taken the express elevator to heaven without needing to confess your sins. What a huge improvement from what I remembered 25 years ago. Seafood didn't have that frozen salty mushy texture, it was fresh and firm. Please wear the plastic gloves they give you as the garlic butter was dripping down my forearms to my elbows. Kudos to Red Lobster corporate and local management, Red Lobster has risen from the bankruptcy ashes like a legendary Phoenix. I hope previous diners give them a another chance as the improvements made should be recognized.

The 2 waitress that served me were very fast and efficient. Which a 25% tip was deserving. The only down side was the decor and ambiance. The inside and furnishings were a bit on the old and used too much side. I would recommend they do some renovations to spruce the place up. I would also recommend all yelpers and patrons to try this spot as the halibut fish and chips are worth the visit and money. Side note: I didn't try any of the other fishes like cod and haddock so no comment on those.
