As far as the grilled fish goes, it's miserable and terrible and not grilled. At best it's sautéed. Likely microwaved. California veggies were boiled to mush and 90% soggy carrots Never again. Maybe fried is better but I doubt it read more

Large portions. Fish was tasty and had that ocean/seafood taste to it. The fries were extremely bland there was no salt in them but they did provide salt in the bag. The fries could of stayed in the fryer a little longer. The wait for the food was sorry and they are located less than a 5 min walk from a park by the lake read more

As far as chain restaurants go, it's a decent fish and chips place. Nothing here really blew my mind but it's convenient and the food was good. Being a chain however, I do wish the service was a bit faster. read more

Had avoided this place is its a chain but once I tried it I was really pleased... real fresh cut fries and nice light batter on a generous piece of cod. Fish was slightly overcooked and therefore a bit too dry for my taste but well within the acceptable range.., found it odd that while coleslaw is included when eating in they charge extra for it if you take it to go.., generous portions for the price served by very pleasant staff.... The restaurant had lots of glass which wasnt very clean so the place had a bit of a grubby look and decor was bland and unimaginative.... They must have taken their styling cues from other franchise chains....with a few tweaks this place could be way better..,, read more

This has been my go-to take-out spot for awhile now. However, my visits have become more frequent since the pandemic began. FISH & CHIPS is the name of the game... so choose from the main 3: halibut, haddock or cod. There's certain days with specials, but you can't go wrong with the three. What I love? - thin, crispy batter around very fresh fish - minimal oil residue - sizeable portions - friends are crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside What else should I try? - fish tacos - calamari - shrimp The food and service at all their locations are consistent, the staff are friendly and kind. read more

This is for the Halibut House in Brampton: (10 Beaumaris Drive). First time: I tried the haddock and chips. It came with a side of house made cole slaw. Delicious!! Generous portion of fish which had a light, crisp batter. Second time: I tried the chowder and fish tacos. Mmmm!!! The house-made chowder was filling and buttery tasting. The tacos had a slightly tangy finsh which made me want to eat more. I was too full after the hearty chowder, and couldn't eat all 3 tacos. My son very happily cleaned them up for me. Service: both times, they took the time to come around and check on us, and chat a little bit. The place is bright and very clean. I would love to see this place thrive. read more

The restaurant is very clean the waitress was so friendly. So when we came we ordered halibut Filet with fries n coleslaw n shrimp with coleslaw. The food didn't took so long and when it was served you could see everything was from scratch. The shrimp was delicious the portion size was huge. The sauces both Tatar sauce and the red one for the shrimp were extremely tasty. Same with the halibut fish. The fries were delicious. The only less star I give is because of the oil the batter was soaked with oil. I think if you would change that it would be much more better. The restaurant is big and family friendly. I would definitely go again if I'm craving fish and chips. read more

Friend recommended this place!!! It was the best I've had so far. The fries are crispy and yummy!!! The halibut was just as good! The slaw was a very small portion- would've like a bit more. But really satisfied. It was a huge portion. read more

Halibut House at Wootten Way, and Hwy 7 has rotten service owners; no etiquette at all for customers or employees.

We've come here a few times, and the food is consistently good with generous portions. The service is fine (servers have often been distracted and difficult to get their attention, but polite, and helpful), as well. It has always been clean and the kitchen pretty fast. It's not the best fish and chips in the city, but a good meal can be had hear for a fair price, and without waiting too long at all. read more

First day opened and they have a buy one get one special (January 10th only). The halibut batter is divine. Light and crispy. Not the dark soggy fried batter a lot of establishments offer nowadays. The fish is full and hearty so it's a fantastic portion. The fries are also light and crispy which is nice surprise. The coleslaw is refreshing and perfectly seasoned. The staff is extremely friendly (it is their first day here) and the restaurant is clean, bright (windows are all around) a great ambiance and use of space. There is also a parking lot (shared with the Pizza Pizza) so you will have free parking. I can't wait to come back! read more

Halibut House - Halibut and fries with coleslaw! Image taken on my iPhone 7 - Fish & Chips Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Went here 3-4 weeks ago and I have to say upon first impression, it is one of those cosy fish and chip diner that you take your family to on Lakeshore after a afternoon stroll. I fortunately went on a Sunday afternoon and was quickly enticed by their Sunday special. It was 3/4 packed with seniors enjoying their fish. The waitress at this location was very funny and energetic and provided comedic humour while we waited for the fish and chips. The portion was very generous and they have their house made tar tar sauce in a clear squirt bottle. I will be back when I am around that area. read more

The fish isn't fresh, it's very compact, a bit rubbery and not flaky like it's supposed to be. I'm fairly certain everything comes from the freezer. The shrimp is advertised as grilled shrimp, but it seems like it's never seen a grill - no sear on them at all and also a bit rubbery. In a fish & chips place, you should be able to just get a good piece of battered and fried fish and some good fries - neither was to be found there. The fries are embarrassingly prepared for a restaurant with chips literally in the name. Undercooked, under seasoned and limp. For $100+ meal I'm not impressed and not going back. read more

Halibut House - Shrimp - Fish & Chips Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

It's hard to find good fish and chip restaurants in the city. No one wants supermarket Captain Whatever TV dinner stuff. Stopped in at Halibut House on Lake Shore Etobicoke for the Special, Haddock & Chips Take out for only $7. Sunday and Monday. At that price you can't expect much but It was delicious. It was all freshly made, full size meal, not greasy, and the service was fast. I was surprised how good the chips were. Lightly cooked in fresh oil. Perfect. I will be a regular customer. Because Yelp uses automated software to filter reviews, sometimes good reviews are put in the hidden section at the bottom.Not sure why. read more

the staff is absolutely incredible, and the food is such a bonus. I love coming here for breakfast, and most of the people I know love the souvlaki, the fish and chips and pretty much everything else. All around great restaurant. So glad it came to my neighbourhood. read more

Couldn't wait to check out this newly established fish and chips place.. I believe now there are 3 in all of Etobicoke. Upon entering it is immaculately clean and spotless I like that. We waited to be seated but were told to seat ourselves. Service was prompt and they did check to see how everything was. Ordered the usual Halibut and chips. Fish was excellent but the fries were all the same can't complain. Everything looked fresh and it appeared as if they change the oil frequently so that's always a plus. Tartar sauce was a little runny i admit but tasty still. I wouldn't consider it a go to place but it's nice nonetheless and good for the locals. read more

Personally I think it's a bit overpriced for mediocre food. I'd rather spend my $15 somewhere else!

I was not feeling fish and chips so got the grilled halibut. It was very good!! I find that fish and chip places rarely have grilled options. With a salad it was the perfect dinner. If I do get a craving for fish and chips, I will definitely go try it. I mean if they can grill fish really well, they must be able to make a very good fish and chips right? ;) read more

So tasty. Best batter I've ever tasted. Large portions. Very friendly staff. Ample parking. Great prices.

not what I expected, would be what came to mind. this location is in the same plaza as a club in the basement, a sex novelty shop, and a pizza pizza...so you can get some food before some fun? I was very excited to finally come to try this establishment out, anticipation got the better of me, as the signs for this restaurant came to be about 2 months ahead of the actual opening day. so every night when I would come home from work all that went through my head would be...I wonder when this place is going to open. finally just after new years day, a posting was in the window saying "January 10th, walk in special buy two pay for one", welp, missed the day, but was able to come 2 days after the opening. the location is very clean at it is brand new, and you could tell that the staff was super excited and eager to help. I couldn't help but notice the small offerings available with the selection of seafood's, but then the various options or combinations of food available after a base meal? so for example you had. fish by itself fish with fries fish with salad fish with salad and fries it was a tiny bit confusing to find out which selection fit my hunger at that moment. placed the order and was told it would be a ten minute wait, which I was cool with as I like my food cooked. had a seat on the waiting bench and just watched the whole ten minutes pass by, there is an audible dinging that happens every once in a while that is slightly confusing and frustrating all at the same time. one of the fridges had absolutely no beverages in it, and the tables all had markings on the side which came across like it was bought second hand? upon receiving an announcement that the food was ready, I had a look into my bag to make sure everything was there which was promptly met with "its all in the bag! no need to look!!!" I had a nice little laugh over that, also requested more malt vinegar\ketchup\other stuff and that was met with "oh but we put lots in the bag" I was starving at this point so I wasn't terribly focused on retorting. got the food home and what I can say is this. the actual seafood (fish and scallops) are awesome, lightly battered, very fresh and flavorful. dare I say clean as well. the chips, not so great, you can tell that its frozen and not fresh chips, the consistency is way off from what fresh cut chips feel and taste like. the gravy is decent, in every shape and form, even though it feels like a stock gravy. the battered mushrooms were a great idea, but with a big of a sign as the restaurant has promoting them, it should serve as a warning "hey! don't eat these" it really does taste horrible. a couple of inconsistencies(when comparing to order fish locations) no lemon? no coleslaw? no seafood\cocktail sauce??!! after months of anticipation I was very much so let down, yes it is definitely a seafood place, but not much else, wasn't impressed with the attitude either, I know its a bit of a drive but there are other options not even five minutes away, and if you walked, I would recommend pizza pizza. transit options are the 501, and the plaza has a dedicated parking lot which is free all day, but a tiny bit of a nightmare to deal with. read more

Pricey. Average food. Ugly decor. Friendly staff. Little value. Avoid the halibut. If you like bacon you will be disappointed. read more

Our usual spot for breakfast was busy. Tried this place... Surprise. Good service, great food and my pet peeve... Undercooked well done fries not in existence. Good job guys! Will come back and try the fish read more

Terrible service. Two young waitresses rolled their eyes when we asked for the third time for a refill of coffee. Had to ask several times for ketchup (I guess they didn't have enough bottles for every table). One waitress had the nerve to ask us to give up the table before we'd even finished because one party was waiting at the door. Better service at McDonald's. Greasy. Never go there again. read more

Went for dinner, ordered the Halibut & Chips with coleslaw. The piece of halibut was a decent size. The fish batter was meh...nothing great, was not crispy at all and it was a little undercooked. They use old oil to cook the fish as it came was brown, not at all golden and crispy batter as the pictures are. The fish itself had a a fishy taste to it because it was not cooked long enough. The coleslaw was dry, not much vinegar dressing on it at all and had no taste. The fries were OK, not at all crispy, they were very thick and mushy when you chewed it. They must use cold storage potatoes because they tasteless and the potatoes must have been old, not fresh potatoes and not crispy. Cost for the meal was $ 18.00 bucks plus tip. I learned that Halibut House is an American chain and I'm not a fan of chain restaurants, you can tell that the quality and taste is just not there. Kingsway Fish and Chips on Bloor St. is much much better if your craving good fish and chips. Would I be going back, no. read more

The food quantity to price at Halibut House makes this very very poor value. Very very small fish portions!!!!! The chips are not chips in the classic sense. They are processed somewhere else, frozen, then fried in the store. Nothing special. Coleslaw, nothing special. Not in house tartar. I think the very rapid expansion of this 'chain' is showing increasing problems in quality and attention. It doesn't really feel like a family run business. Hate the décor. If anyone remembers H. Salt Fish and Chips, I think Halibut House will disappear too. We will stick with places like Harbord, John's, Kingsway (a little too snooty and pricey tho) and a fav of ours in Shelburne Ont, Hyland Fish and chips rather than ever return here. I think there is room for scaling up by good fish and chip businesses but not 18 stores in 15 years. Feels commoditized. Again, fish portions are skimpy, chips are not good. read more
