My kids and I like ordering from here. It's a great option here in Oakville for fish and chips. We never order anything else, so can't say how the other food is, but the standard haddock or halibut are always good. read more

Best fish and chips around! Staff is always super friendly at this location and more than helpful and the fish and chips are consistently good! Would definitely recommend. read more

Halibut House Fish and Chips - Fish n chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

The place looked nice from the outside so we decided to try it out. Inside the restaurant looks clean... not sure if it was because recently open for business. As we sat down and saw the menu and price, we started to regret coming in as we see the menu price is more expensive than the other fish and chip place we go in Milton and it didn't have much options as we were looking for. Everything is extra charges. Like kids meal, it didn't have rice option, extra charge to switch chips for rice and it included drink as pop. For more healthy option, kids menu should include rice and not just chips. We ordered 1 halibut n chip, cod n chip and 2 kids meals. Total was $46.89 + tax + tips. The plates were big but foods on it wasn't much. The fish crust is really puffy and crispy. As we cut it, there is a small piece of fish inside covered with fluffy batter. Very disappointed. Kids meal... I thought we ordered kids halibut fish and chip... it looks like fish sticks, 4 tiny piece of fish covered with batter. It was so small for my son that he took half of my fish. The rice we paid extra was in a small bowl, rice were hard definitely not the quality we were expecting. I would only give one star for this place. My 2nd star is for the service we got from the lady with short hair. (Not the Asian lady who took our order and never came back). Anyhow... I probably won't go back to this place again. For half of the price, there is a place in Mississauga for same type of fish taste. My best fish and chip place is still in Milton "heritage". read more

Visited this place on a Saturday afternoon, just before their 3pm special expired (you get scallop, fish, chips, and shrimp for $11.99). The place is clean, staff is friendly (although a bit forgetful, which I'll chock up to them being newly opened). The halibut was delicious and batter wasn't too oily, you actually get a decent piece of fish unlike other fish and chips location where it's more batter than fish. We got our food pretty quickly too. Would definitely go back. On a sweet note, for dessert, they serve dufflet cakes, so if you're craving something sweet go for the truffle cake. read more

This is a new location and it was very busy the night (Friday) I place an order for takeout. Nevertheless, I only had a minor amount of time to wait and the staff were very nice. As for the food, I ordered 2 orders of halibut and chips and I was not disappointed. Very large portions and great service. Will order from this location again. I have found the food quality has changed from my initial assessment. Why too much oil on my take out orders, even after a couple of separate orders. No more. read more

3 and a half actually. First of all I'm taking away a full star for the fact that they only have packet tartar sauce - and it's the really sweet sticky one so it ruined the experience. Seriously, how can you be a fish and chips place and only offer that stuff? Otherwise it was pretty good, had the haddock & chips (came with coleslaw) and 9 y/o had the kids halibut & chips. Way too many chips! Maybe give less chips and up your tartar sauce game. The one other thing I have to comment on that lost them another 1/2 star was that the haddock, while delicious to start with, was a bit heavy and greasy as soon as the oil started to cool down. The batter wasn't the lightest. Overall, we'll be back, but will bring our own tartar sauce. read more

Finally! A fish and chip place in my hood! I don't have to trek down to Caz's on North Service Road when I'm in the mood. This place has just opened. They have a variety for the fish, seafood, and chicken lovers as well. We ordered the cheese bread to start and the seafood platter and halibut fish and chips with slaw. The cheese bread was not memorable. The ends were clearly burnt and they still served it. It was sadly a spongy bun that had cheese put on it and then it was grilled/burned. The fish was very good (both the halibut and the haddock). The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly but I did find the batter a bit greasy. The fries tasted like they were twice fried which results in a thin outer layer that is chewy as opposed to crispy. Tartar sauce is mass produced food truck packets. Why can't fish and chip places make their own tartar sauce?? That would make it the perfect topping for a lovely crispy piece of fish. Service was quick and friendly and the place has a combination of comfy booths and tables with a bright open decor. A good place to come when the mood strikes you. read more

Not sure why the Toronto star is so excited about this place because we tried it on their recommendation and it's like a one out of 10. I will admit the fries were pretty good but the fish and the rice were terrible. Probably the worst fish and chips we've ever tried. read more

2 stars because the food was pretty tasty, and the portions were pretty big. However the price was pretty high for fish and chips (like $20) and the service was beyond terrible. When I went with my friend there were literally only 2 other groups of customers there. After the waitress brought our food she literally never came back to check on us. Both her and this other Asian lady working there were constantly checking the other tables so I have no clue why we were ignored the whole time. When we were given the bill literally no one came back with a card machine or anything for like 15 mins, so I had to go up at the counter and wait for the lady to finish chatting so that I could pay. When we left none of the people working there even acknowledged us, they just kept talking to the other customers :/ read more

What a let down. I ordered souvlaki, because I had a hinkering for souvlaki and I noticed in their menu that they made it, so I gave it a try. There's not much good I can say about it except it was tough, dry and tasteless. I'm sure they make good fish, but Greek food is something they need to avoid. The staff was quick and professional, so I didn't wait long for my food. However, if I want Greek food, I won't be coming here. read more

I phoned and asked about the Monday special. Was told two pieces and fries for $31.58 !!! Thinking the woman may have misunderstood, I popped by since I was in the neighbourhood. Asked again just to be sure and when I got same answer, I politely enquired if fish prices had gone up recently? The woman sniffed and walked away, leaving me standing there. Couldn't believe it. Walked out and don't plan to ever return. Too bad because fish used to be good and prices reasonable a few years back. read more

We decided to go out today and try something different. Something greasy. Im glad we hit up this place. It's a new and clean place with delightful service. Despite older reviews, the food was great. We ordered the haddock special. (Mondays and Sundays) Before you criticize, make sure you know your fish. If you like soft and moist go with the haddock. Their special came with small side of coslaw. The portion was perfect. And price was very affordable. Definitely coming back. Venue 5/5 Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Price 5/5 read more

Not a bad place however the tartar sauce was packaged which is kind of crazy for an authentic fish and shops place. The service is mediocre not the best but ok. It seems like they're nicer to people who spend more money there. Fries were decent for onion rings were ok but their batter is greasy for all 3. read more

Slim piece of Halibut, pathetic tasteless soggy fries, not inviting slaw for$20.... bad deal. Fish taste,..3 stars.

Passed by this place a few times and thought I would give it a try and reading reviews . We ordered the takeout special of 5 halibut and 3 fries. Decent value for halibut and chips for the family. Service was decent. Had to double check order and yes she did forget something ( the gravy). I read in previous reviews that they where forgetful, so we double checked. The food is average at best. The fish and chips did not have that jump off that old time fish places give. The batter was thick not flaky. It was not bad, Just not the up there with some really good ones I had. Would I go back. Maybe, if really had a craving and did not feel like driving to our go to place. read more

Overpriced!!! Not tasty either. The fries are absolutely disgusting and the fish ( salmon) was too salty to eat. Don't bother going here if you're a fish lover. read more

Awful! Just plain awful! The halibut was decent tasting but a little too soggy, the fries were disgusting, similar to KFC fries, the salad was definitely not fresh and to top it all off, you call yourself the "Halibut House" and you have tartar sauce packets!!??? What kind of fish and chips place gives out packets and pretends to be top of the line? Never coming back here again read more

The Halibut House in Oakville (Dundas and Trafalgar) Feb 22, 2021. I went in to order 10 orders of their Monday special (as stated on the website) for $9 you get haddock and chips. I work in law enforcement so we are always looking for a great lunch deal ! The older asian lady was on her cell phone when I arrived and took a few minutes to acknowledge me. I asked if I could order the Monday special for $9. She snapped at me and said, "NO SPECIALS AT THIS LOCATION!" I said, "But the website says ..." She reaffirmed "NO SPECIALS HERE!" I said, "OH I guess you don't need business." She gives me a dirty look and sarcastically says, "Have a nice day." And watched me walk out the door , your loss ... $100 order potential ! You know what people say, you never tell anyone about good service but you tell EVERYONE about bad service. Cheers ! read more

I went in during lunch hour. They were not busy and I was seated right away, I ordered promptly and was even given some water. I waited for over 20 minutes with no meal in sight and no follow up. I have never done this before but I just got up and left. I don't think they really cared much as well. read more

Not a heavy reviewer but I have to let folks know what you are getting. I have to say I was disappointed. I ordered pickup dinner. Ordered the 2 halibut and 1 chips, the fish chowder and the coleslaw. First the fish, the batter was very greasy, halibut inside was VERY dry, and to be honest very small piece of fish compared to the batter. Chips - Not the best but not the worst. Fish Chowder - bland, not much flavour..not full of fish as you would hope. Coleslaw - probably the best thing we ate, and it was a small side! Crispy, tangy and sweet. Packets of tartar sauce - awful, sticky and overly sweet. Do not recommend you eat this. The pickup was quick, staff friendly, but most important aspect: the food was subpar. I would not go back nor recommend to any friends/family. read more

This was my fourth visit since the end of August. They consistently provide friendly service, and promptly deliver a fresh, hot meal. Both the Halibut & Haddock are amazingly delicious, clean tasting and not overly battered. Best fish in Oakville, hands down. I recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Glad this fish and chips chain popped up in the West end. Although I can't say I always go for fish n chips but this new gem in Oakville definitely hits the spot. As Halibut House is in a newly built plaza, you cannot complain with the exterior or the interior, everything looks new and nice. The booth set up is great especially since you can move the tables and seats around for more space. For dinner on Sunday and Mondays, they have a haddock special which is so delicious and it is fried to perfection! I had the Halibut and which was yummy but I think I am a haddock girl...nothing wrong with Halibut but the haddock texture is my preference. The meal definitely was satisfying and we left happily and full. Lastly, I wanted to point out that the staff was great. Service from the start to ordering to getting our plates food was seamless. We were well attended to. The staff asked for feedback as well as they acknowledged that they were a new establishment. Additional notes: If you are not into fish, not to worry! They also have various specials, including lunch and breakfast. Although, I do not remember the price of their early bird breakfast, but it is ridiculously cheap from what I recall. Oh and there is a television...you gotta come here for dinner and watch baseball or hockey right?! Another new place to try :P read more

Great service! Clean atmosphere and the halibut fish was so good and crispy. Food was served promptly and was come in a big portion, it's way more worth than the price on the menu. read more

I ordered a gyro on a pita this evening and it was horrible. Dry thin sticks of meat, very little sauce on a cold dry pita. I'll never make the mistake of ordering it again. My wife did enjoy her fish though. However they only packed commercial tartar sauce packets. For a fish and chip place to not make their own is just lazy read more

Service was friendly and take out order was ready in good time. Unfortunately the food doesn't make the grade. The fish was very tough and very greasy. The fries had that same grease coating to my mouth after eating. Portion size was out of balance - decent sized piece of fish, but enough fries to feed 4 (and I was hungry). Such a waste to throw out so much. The death knell to this place for me was the packet of fake green stuff that was offered as tartar sauce. If a restaurant wants to charge $12 for a one piece fish and chip order, make your own tartar sauce! read more

Found the service incredibly slow for an empty restaurant. Didnt feel like they cared I was there at all. The fries were cold and mushy and the slaw was tasteless. The fish itself was good though. The light batter was a welcome change to the traditional thick shell from most fish and chip shops. I don't recommend this place overall. I've been 3 times because it's close to me and I wanted to give them a real chance. Don't waste your time. read more

Went in for a quick take out order. Ordered the halibut fish & chips combo. The service was great, everyone was friendly and I was in and out relatively quick. Now in terms of the food itself, the fish was mediocre at best, the fries on the other hand were horrible! They tasted like burnt paper mixed in with old oil, just a horrible overall taste. I'd say skip this one and try another fish & chips joint. read more

Nice to have fish and chips close to home. They have improved a great deal since they opened. Portion sizes are pretty good too.

Good fish and chips at a reasonable price. They just need to sort out their service issues. Slow to get a seat and served as people who sat down after us. read more

I've been here so many times already. Favourite fish n chips place! Fast, friendly service every time and the owner is super nice. If you like soft and moist fish, the haddock or cod are excellent choices. The halibut is good too if you like a firmer fish. The fries are freshly cut, but I'd suggest asking them to make it crispier if you like it that way. read more

This restaurant is new to Oakville. I dined with a friend and we both agreed that it was a good experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the Halibut of course, and it was a good sized portion and it came with a fresh salad. I'm picky about my salads being fresh and crispy and this one was certainly fresh and the ingredients also. The premises is new, fresh and clean. I think you will be pleased. read more

This is a pretty good fish and chips place. it is not yet LLBO licenced as they are still waiting for their permit to be approved as they only opened a few months ago. The fish is excellent. The batter isn't too thick and the fish is cooked just perfectly every time. The fries are fantastic. The staff are very efficient and the food comes quickly. There is ample seating space. They do a very brisk take out business here but the wait staff do an excellent job of balancing their responsibilities so you aren't left wanting for service. The menu has recently been expanded to include other standard pub fare such as burgers. My last time there I had the special which included a big piece of halibut, several shrimp and scallops, fries and a large salad. I'm a pretty big guy but I couldn't finish it all. The only thing I've had that I don't care for is their garlic bread with cheese. Not good. read more
