    First off, I need to say that I wanted to take a star off for service after walking in on a Friday night and having to wait 40 minutes for my order. After eating my long anticipated meal though, I thought better of it, realized that they were insanely busy, and that good food is worth waiting for. And it was indeed worth the wait! Next time I'll definitely take J's advice and phone my order in, then come and pick it up later. Even with the place as busy as it was; and even though I had gotten a little cranky after my wait, the staff remained friendly, accommodating, and kept working up a storm. I'm not sure who was cooking the fish and chips in the back, but they must have been going full tilt, and J and his helper were quickly and efficiently taking orders in person and by phone, packing stuff to go, serving in house customers, and even cooking burgers at the counter for those who ordered them. And in all of it, J still made sure to give every person a nice comment, a thank you for coming, etc. Now for the food: To put it simply; it was AMAZING. Juicy, tender fish, light batter, freshly made thick cut fries, and all piping hot still by the time I got home with it. All for an amazing price. I'm not much of a fish snob, so I just went with the haddock, and for $6 for a nice piece of fish and more fries than I expected, who could complain? They also offered many other specials, including a $9 halibut and chips, a $6 burger combo, etc. This was some of the best fish and chips I've had. None of that greasy "it feels like someone painted the roof of my mouth with lard" feeling during or after eating. I will DEFINITELY be going back

    Was in the area and saw this restaurant. The food is great, not too much batter on the fish and they give you a tray with ketchup, vinegar, mayo, coleslaw, and salt. The tray is neatly organized showing their attention to detail. The owner comes and asks if I needed anything. Very good service. Price is very good as well, I got their $8 lunch special. Very decent portions.

    Good service. Halibut is good, fries could do a bit less brown, too dry if over fried

    This is our go to fish and chips place. We get takeout a lot. Our older son loves loves everything…read more Only on one occasion did I find a bone in the fish. But after so many times doing takeout it only happened once, so not bad at all. Halibut: 4.75/5 crispy and then soft inside. Yum. Sometimes could be a little more tender but most times we have ordered it was perfect. Chowder: 6/5 So good. So much flavour. Mushy peas: 7/5 How do they make it like that?! Never will peas taste that good. Chips: 5/5 Great chips! And excellent gravy to accompany. Onion rings: 4.5/5 Pretty good! Sometimes the batter is a little consistent but they are good overall. Highly recommend!

    Finding a good fish & chips spot can be tricky at times when you think about balancing price,…read moreportion size, the batter, and the chips. This spot did a pretty good job overall. The batter wasn't too thick, greasy, or salty, and the fish filet was thick enough that it retained its structure when eating (instead of becoming a flaky mess). Chips were decent, but not the standout for me. Even their seniors portion size of fish & chips is quite filling. I also really enjoyed the seafood chowder, though it was on the saltier side. Shocked at how large the bowl of chowder was for the price, and they did not skimp out on the ingredients. No one wants a chowder that's 80% roux/cream base and 20% veggies with canned or frozen seafood mixed in. Be forewarned that finding parking on Main St Newmarket can be challenging during events and busier times/seasons!

    Not bad yet not phenomenal. Ordered the Joy's Special for takeout. Good fry but portions were not…read morethat big compared to other fish and chips locations. 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.
