    Amazing service and ambiance. They are know for fish and chips and I absolutely agree. Lot of local beers. Indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the water! Seems to kind of a romantic place since I saw many couples. Definitely family friendly!

    The food and service were great!! Our dinners came fast and were delicious!! And our server, Captain Beard, couldn't have been more friendly!! These Michigan, USA citizens loved our experience and would recommend this establishment to anyone!!

    All you can eat white fish

    Amazing food and even better service. I took the family the location on Hwy 6 because they have a great option for non fish lover (chicken shawarma bowl) but went to they Bay location as they are out of fish. Very friendly welcome at their location and I mentioned I went to the other location that was out of fish. Immediately we were seated and the guy that seated us got on the phone to re supply the other location. Not only that he zipped down to their other location to get me a chicken bowl ?!? Crazy good service. Definitely a 5 star meal and service! Will definitely recommend to others and come back when we return to Tobermory. Thank you! All servers are extremely friendly and great ambiance!

    All you can eat Alaskan fish $18.95/pp

    We came here on a long weekend around lunch time and waited about 30 minutes for a table. They only had patio dining and didn't do take out. We ordered the all you can eat fish for $18.95 per person. We really enjoyed the fish. It was fresh and buttery. The first plate came with about 4 pieces of fish. We ordered an additional 2 pieces each afterwards. We though we ate our money worth The fries were mediocre. They don't have lemon. It came with pre-packaged tartare sauce, vinegar and ketchup. The service was pretty good. All the staff were friendly and energetic.

    - one of the servers was rude - fish and chips were good, crispy and yummy with right amount of saltiness - outside patio is nice too!

    We came here as part of bus tour group. Our organizers had asked us to choose between the Fish or Chicken with Fries options for our lunch (along with a pop). Both my wife and I opted for the Fish. Our whole party was seated on the patio which had a pleasant ambience with a nice view of the lake. The service was fast and most of the servers were pleasant enough. There were two servers dressed like pirates who were particularly nice and friendly. Our meals came with little packages of Tarter Sauce and Rancher's Choice Vinaigrette. Although there is salt, pepper, vinegar, and ketchup if you need them, I wish they also had lemon to go with the fried fish. I found the single portions of Fried Fish pretty decent sized and filling. The fish was fried to perfection and the insides were light, flakey, and moist. The fries were pretty good too. If there is one thing that this place needs to improve on, it is the state of their washrooms. There aren't enough toilet stalls and the few they have are poorly maintained.

    If you're ever in Tobermory you have to check out this place! We finished a boat tour and decided to grab some lunch from a local spot. We walked over to this place and it was jam packed with people waiting for a table and take out. We waited only 30 minutes for a table but definitely worth it. We sat down and our server quickly came over and introduced himself. He was super friendly and went over the menu with us. He explained that whitefish was their specialty. I'll admit .. I was hesitant at first because I've never tried it so we decided to order one of the whitefish with shrimp and a halibut fish and chips. The whitefish was the best thing I have ever eaten in terms of fish and chips I was blown away by it. It was flavourful and literally melted in your mouth. I wish we just got the whitefish cause it was that good. The fries that came with our mains weren't good at all.. they lost a star for that. I guess their fish makes up for it? But seriously if they got better fries this place would be 10 stars. Service was 10/10 highly recommended If you're ever in a rush - make sure you try take out form here!

    The fish was fried very well, crunchy to the bread and hot and moist from the inside. The sauce added a good flavor to finish. However the fries was much inferior, along with pricey beverage and an unsatisfying service. If you happened to be around, try to get a take out and eat near the docks instead. There is likely no point for an all you can eat fish and chips, although only 1$ extra, you will likely wait for a long while for a second batch, and you are definitely full after the first round anyway.

    2 slices of haddock + fries, 1 slice of white fish + poutine
    Ivy C.

    Service was good, but the price was a bit $$ for the quality of food... I would say the haddock isn't even at the level of Jane's breaded haddock, as it was quite hard (has some fish skin included as well). White fish was pretty flakey, as mentioned, but didn't have much flavor itself. The tartar sauce was pre-packaged as mentioned and also prices seemed to have increased by quite a bit. Other reviews from a few months ago said AYCE was $21.95 but now it's $24.95. Also felt a bit uncomfortable that the pre-programmed tip options started from 18%+ for a place that's already overpriced to begin with

    Whitefish and Chips

    Some friends and I came on a weekday and we got a table right away. The first thing I noticed was the decor, specifically a skeleton with a missing upper half. It was... something. Otherwise the food was okay, I got the AYCE fish and chips, which was plentiful but very average. The price was a bit steep ($21.95), though I found it to be the best deal on the menu.

    Ok let's start with the positive amazing location :) now the food let's be honest we all couldn't finish our meals.. we had the fish and chips, hubby got fried shrimp and my daughter got the fried chicken! The fish was super duper oily and the fish inside was not flaky or good the fried chicken my oh my had cartilage inside we thought it was more like chicken strips but no! I asked for a lemon wedge to put on my fish and the waitress says we don't have any fruits here our stomachs didn't feel well the rest of the evening!

    Fried Fish and Shrimp over Fries 10/10

    Worth the wait and the food at Shipwreck Lee's made our day trip to Bruce Peninsula. Pros: - My hubby and I had the Fried Shrimp and Fish, Fried White Fish (1pc), and side of Coleslaw, and it was some of the best Fish and Chips I've ever had. The huge portions of fish were perfectly fried, and the inside was super flavorful, flakey, moist, and light. - I also enjoyed the Coleslaw, which was a vinegar versus mayo version. - Vivacious service, there are a couple of waiters who are fun and spastic

We ordered a poutine to share while we waited on our pizza to go. The poutine was amazing! Lots of gravy and cheese curds on fresh cut fries! We had the pizza for dinner and I loved it! We went back for lunch the next day. Burgers were really good and we had poutine again! The portions are generous. We had to take the poutine home. Service was amazing! I highly recommend this place!

    First of all the food is mediocre at best. They say you get a lot .. which is true if you like the…read morefrench fries. The protein, we had fish and liver and the portion was over cooked in both cases. Though we each had two pieces of fish the size of each piece was about half of what you would get in any other restaurant. The liver was unpalatable, over cooked and gristly. The service was the major issue .. specifically the "manager". We were a group of 7 and had approached the restaurant at about 4:30 pm to ask if they could accommodate us for dinner. We were told yes but that they had a reservation for a group at 6:00pm and we would have to be finished by then. We arrived at 4:45 and ordered our meals as I've already talked about. We were finished and a person, not our waitress, came and cleared the table at 5:37pm. We waited patiently for the server to return which she finally did at 5:57pm. She asked us if anyone would like dessert and 3 of us did order. About 2 minutes later the "manager" came to the table and said, rather rudely/confrontationally, that 'we knew when we arrived we had to be out by 6:00pm and we would have to leave now'. We explained that we had been watching the time and had sat waiting for 20 minutes. She said her girls were very busy. Too bad for us. When we explained that that wasn't our fault she just nudged the waitress making a comment that she could have sold the dinners we ate to someone else. Never an apology or acknowledgement that the problem was theirs ... all we got was attitude and rudeness. This was clearly a management issue but as it turned out the "manager" was anything but. There are limited eating establishments in Mindemoya and if Mum's (excellent experience there) isn't open I'ld recommend picking up something from the Foodland's kitchen.

    We were directed to this food truck when we checked into our hotel in Tobermory…read more It was a great find! The fish was fresh, the breading was tasty and the homemade tartar sauce was awesome. The chips were amazing as well. If this was down the road from my home, I'm sure I'd be there every week. Just a note, it is not hard miss. If headed towards Tobermory, it will be on your right shortly before you get to any of the entrances to Bruce Peninsula National Park. If headed from town, you will pass both the Cypress Lake entrances and the one just south of there (don't remember the name). Look for the Lonewolf Drive Thru sign Fish is served from around 11:30 with the last order taken at 7:30.

    I came here based on all the good reviews on Yelp. It's a cute little chip wagon (now a renovated…read moretrailer) We ordered a large fry and a large poutine just as travel food. It took 30 minutes for them to call our number. Granted, they were pretty busy... But 30 minutes for 2 orders of fries is a little crazy. My fries were good (although not 30 minutes good) but could have been a little warmer. The person I was with said their poutine was good. I don't eat meat so this review is based solely on the fries and service. I'd still recommend checking it out for yourself! OH and the address here on Yelp didn't take us to the chip wagon. We had to continue driving until we saw it on the left hand side (leaving tobermory) which was about 7km.
