    Sweet spot for some decent fish and chips. Their specials on Sundays and Mondays are very reasonable priced, great quantity, and decently priced. Definitely going to keep in mind for future times!

    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.

    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!

    Shrimp

    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.

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

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

    I had lunch today at New Toronto Fish & Chips. Apparently it's been around for about 90 years. It's…read morenot a fancy place (and I'm okay with that). I had haddock and chips. The quality was excellent and the cost was insanely cheap ($15.88 for a piece of fish, fries, coleslaw [which I passed on], a can of pop and gravy and that included tax!). Joey was the server and she was extremely friendly. I left about half of the fries but Joey insisted I take home the gravy so wrapped it up for me.

    Two magic words: Beef Tallow…read more I happened into this nondescript house-like restaurant just off Lakeshore on Fifth St for a fix of deep fried decadence.... and nutritious halibut fish ;) The moment I bit into the old school fresh daily cut double fried chips... I KNEW it was cooked in the best fish and chip oil... beef tallow. Same with the light, crunchy fish batter. To any old school fish and chips aficionado, beef tallow, once the standard for deep frying fish and chips is now the Gold Standard. It does not taste 'beefy' at all. It just has this clean, unmistakable 'je ne sais quois' rich flavour that brings out a secret something special in a fried russet potato. Coleslaw, tartar sauce, condiments, furniture and ambience could use a facelift... nothing objectionable.. but it would shoot this place into influencer cult status. Hopefully it doesn't! ;-) Oh, and the sweet charming waitress reminds me of Flo on that 70's TV show "Alice" at Mel's Diner". . Except without the southern sarcastic "Kiss my grits" wit!

Perhaps we'll try dine-in next time. Quite spacious in the restaurant with good parking outside. Fairly pleasant service. You get a bit of a discount if you pay by cash.

    Finally, fish and chips are back in Stouffville!…read more I've been to Joy's Fish & Chips a few times since they opened mid-2024. I've eaten in and taken out, both of which were mostly positive experiences. The service is consistently friendly and pleasant to interact with. It feels like everyone genuinely enjoys working here, which is a big difference maker. The only minor issue is when dining in. In the first few months of being open I find that the restaurant is often packed and service can be a bit slow (as of December 2024). Other than that, service has been fantastic. As I mentioned earlier, the restaurant often seems busy if you're dining in. However, since I live so close I prefer to take out. As of now they don't have any delivery services but if you're willing to pick up for yourself they're pretty quick. I've had big orders that's I've called in and told it would be ready in 20 min. When I go to the restaurant and order (a smaller order) it's only usually about 10-15 minutes even when the restaurant is packed. The food is very, very good! The fish is battered and cooked to order, which you can see for yourself from the takeout counter. It has a delicious crispy batter while the fish stays moist. The fries (chips) are nice and thick and perfectly fried. My only minor complaint is that the fries need more salt. But that's something I can add myself. I've also tried their scallops and shrimp. Both are really good but not quite the same level of their fish. While I don't know if they're battered to order, they're still juice and fried perfectly. Worth trying! Lastly, I just wanted to mention parking. They have a few parking spots to the right of the building, which is perfect for takeout since the takeout entrance on the right side of the building. They have a few parking spots in front and then also quite a spots to the left of the building. Plenty of parking! Overall, I'm super happy Joy's Fish & Chips! I've been going fairly regularly and I've only had great experiences.

Calamari Dinner ($19) + 1 piece Crab Cake ($4). 2. Haddock Dinner ($19). Dinners come with two pieces of fish, fries, Tartar Sauce, and Creamy Coleslaw. The Calamari was good. The Crab Cake was acceptable (not as flavourful as other Crab Cakes I've had). There are a few slices of deep-fried jalapeno included. The Coleslaw was ok. The Haddock and Fries were good. The Tartare sauce was acceptable. The Coleslaw was ok. There is an open kitchen. There is indoor seating and a small counter seating. The vibe is of the 1960s, with the majority of the decorations dedicated to The Beatles. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two gender-neutral washrooms downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible; you need to ask for a key. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. There is one high chair for little children. Review 2025-049

The tartar sauce and coleslaw were separately packaged. The fish was crispy and flakey, and not too oily. The fries were hand-cut and were good. I enjoyed the tartar sauce and coleslaw. Overall, we had a good delivery experience.
