Fresh halibut and other seafood choices as well. It is part of a chain and is very well organized. Fast service and they also serve with fries, coleslaw and salad, so there is plenty from which to choose. Medium pricing. Go and enjoy yourself! read more

It's the first time visiting this establishment and I thought I would drop by for the advertised $3.99 breakfast special. The server/cook came out and took my order promptly and was very friendly and most accommodating when I ordered the one egg breakfast plate without an egg. She offered to give me an additional sausage instead of the egg. What a bonus... The plate consisted of 3 sausages,2 slices of buttered toast and fried potatoes. I also ordered a tea with lemon. The meal was served promptly along with jams and peanut butter. This was a budget meal no doubt but it was good and filling and a great value. I recommend this restaurant for the service , cleanliness and all around good value. I will return soon to try the fish and chips. read more

Have been going to this location for more than 10 years. The ownership has changed a number of times but the food portion and quality has always been the same. Looks like some new owners but not 100% sure maybe it's the corporate company now dictating more how things are being run. We ordered from them a few months ago and when I go home and opened the bag the box was only half filled where it used to be overflowing. Decided to order again today they asked if I wanted a full order and I said yes. I ordered a halibut and chips and a haddock and chips for a total just over $41. I got the bag to the car decided to look and again a half filled box. I went back in and questioned why the portion was so much smaller and was told it's the same they just now use a bigger box. I said I ordered prior to the new box and said it was half filled. I was told they can't control the kitchen and if I had an issue I should call corporate. Although I'll be sending an email to corporate in addition to this review I want everyone to know I'll never go back. There are other places to get fish and chips and offer better value. I have attached pictures showing what is now concerned a full dinner portion. I'm sure there are others that feel the same way. I know things have gotten more expensive but increasing prices and offering less that what I got before is not acceptable especially when what they are skimping on are the chips. At this point I would have to say you no longer get what you pay for and the local staff don't seem to care as they just refer you to the corporate office. Update: Email was sent to corporate using feedback@halibuthouse.ca and the email was returned as undeliverable. I guess the stores don't want to deal with customers and even corporate has decided it's not worth dealing with customers. read more

I've been here in person many times for the Cod and Chip and it's always been very good. But I ordered from them using Uber Eats yesterday and they sent me a disgusting piece of cod that they would have been embarrassed to serve in their dining room. 1/3 of it was inedible, 1/3 of it was bad and 1/3 of it was okay. It was made more annoying since I had paid Uber an extra $3.49 for their priority delivery so it would get here hot - and it did - it was just a bad piece of fish. My advice, go here in person. Don't order delivery since it seems like they save their sub-standard fish for the delivery orders that are less likely to generate complaints. It will be a long time before I patronize them again either in-person or by delivery. read more

First Impressions ============= Friendly service, clean, smelled very clean. Sometimes fry houses can smell oily or rancid, this was spotless! Food ==== We got the halibut, YUM! In-house sauce was also delicious!!! Would we come again? ================= Any time we a are itching for some Fish and Chips we will be back! read more

Went in the other day for pickup of the haddock special...the quality has gone way downhill since my last visit. The fish did not taste like haddock and had a weird,chewy texture. Also,there is a big,giant colorful poster outside that advertises $8 haddock special. When I paid it rang in as $9.00 plus tax. When I asked about it,the rude waitress said that's the price! Will never return to this location. read more

Light battered halibut, crisp coleslaw accompanyment, perfect fries... and home made tartar sauce?! We did well to come and we ate well. The kids opted for their kids menu and the adults for the half halibut special. I am not sure why we took so long to come here. The location is clean and what would be expected. The staff polite and efficient. We did not wait long for the food. I gave the 5 stars because the fry was perfect in my opinion. read more

$4 breakfast for toast 1 egg bacon and home fries !! Can NOT go wrong !!! Delicious , this place is very clean and the waiters are so friendly. Defiantly coming back soon. Was not busy Saturday morning ! read more

Recently the quality had dropped. It used to be delicious and perfectly cooked. Last time the fish was dry and over battered. There was hardly any halibut. Don't know if it was just an off day but hesitant to return. read more

I always go here for the lunch special. It's not super filling (sometimes I get two fishes with fries instead), but for the price, it's pretty good! read more

Food is decent. I have dined in several times and ordered via Uber eats several times. My most recent experience was awful. They were too busy dealing with phone orders to even acknowledge us. After ten or fifteen minutes, we left. I think it's great that they were busy, but there's no excuse for not at least saying hello and letting us know they are aware we exist. With so many choices in Aurora, there is no reason to tolerate poor service. read more

What looks like a typical diner would lead you to believe the food is just as average as the decor. Not likely. I ordered the seafood platter, with a large filet of haddock, 3 scallops and 3 shrimp, all breaded in the traditional way. I half expected the shrimp to be dry and overdone and greasy, but they were succulent, with a crispy batter, and perfectly cooked. But I knew the scallops would disappoint because deep fried breaded scallops always disappoint. I was disappointed--these scallops were succulent, with a crispy batter, and perfectly cooked! The haddock was also succulent, you know... But the crispness of the batter was a real treat! The worst part of this meal? Solar latex tarter sauce in the little packets. This place could rock out a real tarter sauce without blinking! Please chef, I'll be back soon, and I want to see homemade tarter sauce. If not, I would bring my own just to compliment the excellent fish! read more

The fish and chips come in a large portion of deep fried, crispy goodness..if you can look past the dated decor and slow service (which was hard for me as I am very anxious). Up in Aurora, I felt like I was out of town and away from the hustle and bustle of a big city.. the staff were working at their own pace...only one server on the floor to serve a handful of tables.. yet we had to wait a good 10 minutes to receive our menus...and another 10 to order. I would probably come back for takeout in the future but skip on dining in. One tip: Do not use the little plastic packets of tartar sauce..it is no good! Use the homemade one provided by the server..it is much more delicious. read more

I asked if they were new owners and they said they were. I had the grilled halibut with side salad - over $13 for a small thin piece of fish, overcooked and dried out. The salad was limp and soggy. Disgusting. The restaurant was freezing cold. While there, someone came in wanting an order to take out. The server said it was $2 more to take out, so he decided to eat there. I think it's stupid to charge more for take out especially if your heat is turned off (which is what the server told me when I asked why it was so cold). read more

If I could I would give -10 stars. My family used to go there on a regular basis. They changed management there and the quality is super bad. The oil was old the chips were all dark. They only took cask saying their internet was down. Will never go to any of their other restaurants again. read more

Great restaurant with delicious food and amazing service! We have been to a lot of Halibut House locations and this is the best we've been too. The outdoor patio is great in the summer. The food is so delicious. Would highly recommend to everyone! read more

Decided to give this a try for takeout since I live close. I'll start by saying the staff are super friendly and helpful. It might be due to covid times and being slower than normal, but the halibut was a bit too dry and the fries were either frozen too long or cooked in bad oil. Hopefully the quality will be better next time because the staff were wonderful and I'd give them another shot for redemption. read more

Fish and chips dive that serves nice semi-oily battered fish and fries. Good portion sizes and the seafood platter tastes quite good. I'd go again if I'm around the Aurora area. Server was very friendly and kept checking back to see if we were ok. There's a seniors home nearby, just like any other fish and chips place - isn't there always? read more

Always come here for the delicious halibut and chips. The portions are very generous and average priced for what you get. Always made fresh and their tartar sauce is awesome. I think it's the best fish and chips in town, tried many and halibut house is still my fav!!! read more

Have driven by this place several times and finally one day decided to pop in for a dinner nosh. Interior of the restaurant is as one would expect. Money wasn't obviously spent on decor, but I'm not there to eat the tables/chairs or artwork, so that's not too important. We were seated immediately (the place is very large with plenty of seating). Our waitress was over immediately with menus and asked if we wanted anything to drink. Ordered two pops and off she went. When she returned with them we placed our order....2 orders of Halibut and chips, halibut lightly battered. Off she went to place the order. Within a very reasonable time frame, she returned with our order. HUGE portion of chips (3/4 of the plate were covered with them) and the halibut was indeed lightly battered. It was a decent size for the price point. Added bonus was a small vinegar coleslaw (not creamy). Fish was cooked perfectly.....nicely seasoned and flaky. It was a bit on the greasy side, but still delicious. Fries were excellent, coleslaw was a nice accompaniment.all in all, a great place for fish and chips. I'll definitely return. read more

9/10-Great fish, Great service, Good atmosphere, Needs a signature. Nothing earth breaking but if you're in the mood for fish and chips i couldn't recommend another option over here. An excellent cut and batter with a nice portion size. The fries have the perfect texture, outside crunch and inside is soft, wish they salted them right out of the fryer but its not a deal breaker.The coleslaw was a great little side, full of flavor in a small bowl so it won't get your fries soggy. Finally a fish and chip place where they care about their food, they don't just plop the food on a plate, its plated like a proper restaurant meal. Everything works great together on the kitchen side. Service was quick and courteous. They can be overloaded so bear with them. If I had to make a recomenation to them it would be try something new, would be nice to see something on the menu that felt more unique to Halibut House over other fish & chip places. read more

Driving through my home town, I noticed a large new restaurant called the Halibut House right at Yonge and Edward. I love some good fish and chips... so brought the entire family there on Saturday night. We arrived just before 6pm... so were a little surprised when we found most of the restaurant unoccupied. (well.. new business and all). The kids each had an order of kids fish and chips... a nice peice of halibut with kids size portion of fries. The kids loved it (such is normally true for anything fried or that has breading). I ordered a big combo with halibut, shrimps, scallops, fries and salad. My wife just got the breaded shrimp with fries. The portions were big... quality was sort of in the middle. I've definitely had better fish and chips... but there was nothing wrong here either. This is definitely fast food fish and chips. Staff were very nice and friendly. The physical restaurant is sort of hard to explain... it reminds me of a diner that I used to go to in cottage country.,. almost like a cafeteria. The price tag for the four us was just over 50 bucks... seems a little up there for fast food. But fish and chips is never cheap in my experience. I wouldn't likely go back with the whole family. BUT something caught my eye... Tuesday nights... AYCE Fish and Chips for under 11 dollars. Wait.. What? NOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DEAL. So, I will be coming back on a Tuesday night for the AYCE festivities. You can't beat 11 bucks for what will likely be 5 or 6 peices of fish by the time I am done, plus a mountain of fries. Stay tuned for the results of the AYCE night... read more

I had the grilled Halibut. The halibut was not seasoned at all and was simply grilled. The piece of halibut I had was maybe 80 grams cooked. The salad that came with my fish was good but for $13.00, I found the portion size weak. I definitely would not go back. I think if you are looking for a place to eat deep fried fish and fries it's probably fine but not if you are looking to eat something on the healthy side. read more

What a cool place! I never really liked diners, but this is a diner that cooks halibut, and cooks it to perfection, and i think it is around $10 for a piece. Do I need to say more? I'll be back soon. read more

This was my second time to the place one one opening week and here a year later nothing has changed. The fish was very light and crispy, but the Chips on the other hand were stale and starchy. The price was average for fish and chips. read more

Was out for a glorious day ride on my bike with my beautiful wife when we were stuck with impending starvation , just then we stumbled upon this amazing little gem . As luck would have it our waitress Molly was on her first day ever and was amazing ,we ordered the fish chowder and halibut plate for two , everything tastes amazing and was cooked to perfection! I'm impressed we have tried so many horrible places all over Toronto and Mississauga area and to find a gem like this ... Well makes me so happy we're keeping this one in our must go places! There should be more places like this with more people like this to go to in our great city and suburbs . read more

Just left halibut house. One serious warning: do not go there with hungry tummy. And absolutely do NOT go there on Good Friday. We arrived at 5- got seated right away. Good sign, right? No. We sat, ordered right away. Then wait. And wait. And wait. And wait some more. I mean, how long does it take to fry some fish and chips? After over 1 hour, one order of cod & chips arrived. Then wait some more. Another 20 minutes, and after the first plate almost finished, my house special plate finally arrived. Yes, it took 1 hour and 20 minutes for 1 house special. The waitress was apologetic - but they couldn't make the food came any faster. The food itself? Good fresh fries, mediocre cod, good halibut and scallop. Ok shrimp. Frozen stuff onion ring. But definitely, not worth the wait!!! On the bright side, we were not the only angry customers. Practically the whole restaurant was full with furious customers, sit down and take out. The table behind us got there before us and didn't get their food until after we finished. That's how bad it was!!! read more

First of all I will say that the fish and chips were good. My problem is with customer service. My 94 year old father has not been out for one and half years. He wanted to go out for fish and chips so I checked out Halibut House and saw there was a ramp going to the patio. When we got there it was locked and I asked for it to be opened for my father and his walker. They refused saying someone was sitting on the patio near the handicapped walkway. We went in through the store and basically had to lift him up the step as it was much higher than a regular step. Upon leaving the customers that were sitting near the handicap ramp had left so I asked if they could open it. Again I was refused. It was not easy getting him back down the high step inside and his bad leg (he had broken his femur last year) is still very sore a week later. What is the point of having a handicapped ramp if you cannot use it. read more

This is my second trip here, first time for dinner, it was tasty and I ate everything on my plate, today I went for breakfast it really hit the spot. I can't wait till I go back read more

Went a few months ago was quite good. Went again 2 weeks ago was awful! Paid $24 for 2 pieces of Halibut and received 2 squares of spongy....who knows what, but it wasn't Halibut or even a fish I've tasted before! Was a take out, so called them on the phone to tell them - was just told she didn't understand what I was on about and left it at that. I will not be going back! P.S my stomach was hurting all night after having eaten a portion of that so called fish. read more

mushy peas was juicy and tasty, which also could barely be found at other fish & chips places in GTA, truly recommend to English traditional dishes lovers.. Fish meat was skinless boneless fresh, wrapped with a properly fried flour, chips were good too. Waitress was genuinely friendly, she made us felt that besides good food, we got excellent customer service. read more

I went for dinner with my wife to try this place out. We looked through the menu and decided on a menu choice. When we asked the waitress to exchange fries for onion rings without a second thought she just said "NO". Being a little confused I asked why? She said because onion rings are $4 more. The annoying part is they are the same price on the menu. Extremely annoying when a waiter/waitress doesn't accommodate a customer. So I decided no to order anything. On a positive note the food looks good but they need to train their staff a little better. read more

Great breakfast. Great service. Great food I will be back sometime for dinner. Today I was super hungry so I ordered the Grand Slam, they let me change a couple of thing in the order which was great,I'm not a fan of breakfast sauages so ask to change to bacon. I was very surprised that they served fresh fruit with my order that was a bonus. read more

Terrible service, terrible food. Place is crowded and server did not acknowledge us when we arrived. This is the second time we have been here and we both were the last to served where others arrived before us. I would definitely not go back nor would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Since the new owners this place has gone down hill. The service was horriable. We ordered the halibut meal and wanted to substitute the fries with onion rings but was told that is "not possible" and that we would have to order a side of onions rings which is $4.50. Pervious owners allowed to substitute for $1.50. We ordered our meals noticed that the portion sizes where almost cut in half. Please keep in mind the meals are $16.95 for one piece of fish with fries and salad that was drenched in dressing and soggy. The fish and fries were so oily you can squeeze the oil out with your fingers. That is all we heard from her. Didn't check in once, even though we are with our 20 month year old daughter.They ran out of the kids size portion of the halibut, so we forced to order the lunch size portion that was more, the owner didn't even have the courtesy to match the pice even though the price difference was $1.00. I receive my bill and and was charged a extra dollar for my daughters meal, I asked the owner to make the changes because our waitress disappered. She was busy refilling the ketchup bottles with older ketchup bottles from other tables. The owner explained that she added the soft drink charge to my daughters meal and didn't charge me the extra fifty cents. She continued to go off saying that if you want to pay the extra fifty cents you can. Please note that the owner is yelling this in a full store with customers over fifty cents. We will take our business somewhere were the customers are appercaite and the waitress are friendly and not busy reusing old ketchup in and placing them back on the tables. read more

I had been to this restaurant a few times mostly for their eggs breakfast and a couple of times for their halibut fish and chips which was ok, decent portion size. I went there again with a friend just a few weeks and was I disappointed with the halibut. It was half the size and when I asked the server answered so quickly as if expected because I did not even finish my sentence. The server said " that is the lunch portion". This leads me to believe that there must have been complaints. Also the increase in price, no soup and it did not taste good either. The server must be new also. When we first sat down at the table which had some food crumbs, the server when wiping the table, swept the food crumbs towards where my friend sat, onto his lap. She did not even realize it... very unprofessional. Because of the server's unprofessionalism coupled with the restaurant's "rip-off" very small portion and not so good halibut fish, I am not so sure about the other dishes that I used to order before so I don't think I shall return to this restaurant again and therefore my rating for this restaurant is "poor". read more
