Fish and chips (Haddock) was dry, overcooked and tough to chew. Did not taste good overall. Fries were typical fast food so they were okay. Coleslaw was good. Small portion but it was aight. Chicken taco okay, very oily. Fish taco was better than fish and chips but still okay. Hostess was rude, complained we couldn't sit 2 people at a table of 5 on patio with view when there were multiple parties of 2 sitting at big tables. (At 4pm not even prime time). I rate an L read more

Great view of the harbor! I had just the local whitefish, which was yum. Fun servers - fast and it was packed. read more

Fish was almost inedible - very dry and tough plus small portion. The worst fish I ever had. The coleslaw was also very poor. French fries were OK is you like fast food fries, instead of the real thing. Frozen high liner fish is much better in comparison. On the plus side the service was good and fast. read more

Busy and good fish and chips. Always my go to place in Tobermory. This is the place with mainly fish and chips and some salad . As they are focus on fish and chips, other option available is chicken fingers and shrimp in basket. Servers are very friendly and helpful. They provide extra places and cups for friends to share. Fish is very well done among all I have in the Bruce peninsula area. The outer crispy breadcrumbed is thin and both white fish and halibut is very juicy. She white fish is local caught and not frozen. It is a casual place and kids and family are welcome. Music always on and always make you have vacation feel. Only unexpected is they offer bottled pop instead of cups with free refill. read more

Would not recommend. The haddock is likely frozen grocery store food. It's definitely processed into a block and probably been in the freezer for a while. The food also made someone in our party sick. Server was ok and the beer was fine but this is a pretty low bar. Would advise to go to one of the other near by places or even try the local brewery next door. read more

Would be more of a 3.5 out of 5 if given the option. The food is what it is- remembering that this is solely a fish and chip place and anything else cannot be expected to be spectacular. The menu is limited with everything being fried- would have loved a grilled fish option for the lighter eaters but again- this is a fish a chip place so.... Got the gosh taco, the chicken taco, fries and the desert. The tacos were loaded with mayo with I didn't love but I guess I could have asked for it without- the fish chunks were delicious. The FRIES were delicious- even with ketchup - super tasty- the brownie was warm but missing ice cream on top! The service was amazing!! Our server was super attentive and casual, normal, and quick! The ambience is super casual and dog friendly on the patio! The sign at the front says "Good boys welcomed" read more

Food is good enough and the fish is local which is great. There is an opportunity for better. If they would make more of the menu from scratch (eg tartar sauce, bean salad, fries etc) it would elevate the place to the next level. Prices were not cheap $18.99 for 2 piece fish and chips with no coleslaw or salad. It was good but could be better read more

There are so many fish & chips restaurant around the area, we spoted this place on our way to the LCBO. It was amazing!! There fish was really fresh, their extra light batter was fantastic, golden fired crispy on the outside but still can keep the moisture on the fish. Bravo!!!! High recommended read more

Chill restaurant to have lunch in Tobermory. The fish & chips were quite standard, nothing special. The fish was not tender enough. But they were all crispy. No recommended if you are really hungry since it might take long time to have the dishes. read more

Fish and chips are pretty common in Tobermory...so I think my expectations were a bit high. First off - most restaurants close around 9pm (there are a few open to 11pm - those are the pubs). This restaurant closes at 9pm so make sure if you want to go to dinner - try to go a bit earlier. There is outside seating as well as a few tables inside. So when in Tobermory, do as the Tobermorians do and order fish and chips! 2 pieces of fish and some fries are a decent portion for one person. Unfortunately I found it underwhelming and under seasoned. Some salt and some lemon would have done absolute wonders. It wasn't that crispy battered fish I was hoping for and the fries were mehhhh. If they were fried a bit more with some salt, it would have been a great improvement The server was really friendly - but it only looked like there was one person! I know Tobermory is a small town (I think population of less than 4000) and in talking with the server she said it's hard to find people to work in the area, which is why lots of places close early! Overall I was disappointed with the taste. read more

The Fish and Chip Place - Fish and chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Tobermory, Ontario

$13 for 2 pieces Alaskan white fish is affordable but the quality and taste is not great in comparison to other places that serve Georgian Bay white fish. THE GOOD: Great crust of the fry and there were TONS of fries that were well-seasoned and fried to golden perfection. THE BAD: The fish meat itself is a lot more tougher & fibrous, skin on, drier, tastes a lot fishier (indicating that it's not as fresh), and in slimmer pieces. read more

I had high hopes for this place and it definitely tasted good, the fish and chips at least. The white fish, a bit unexpected but in a good way. Not highly breaded (good), tasted good, but kinda small. It's not the typical size I'm used to. Otherwise, I'm told the taco is not anything to write home about. It's also not a taco, it's a burrito. It could use some presentation, it came to the table fully wrapped. The bathrooms, in the back, usable. Service, kinda hard to get service. Nice and kind, but weren't always there when you needed. Maybe hard to get servers I guess? read more

Was there over the weekend. Place was busy but our orders came quite fast. Fish ala carte - 6 pcs. I'm no fries fan and so we just the fish. Even with the skin on, it tasted pretty good. Not too much batter so it was all fish. Yummy! Shrimp and chips - they were good and fries were ok. Fish taco was good - perhaps a bit more sauce will help. Also they should call it Fish Burrito instead. Fish on soft burrito to be exact. Chowder - we liked it too. Service was excellent read more

Pros. Beautiful view. Wait staff were friendly, I feel badly for those working here. In effective management and organization and kitchen service effect tip. We were brought our drinks and then waited an hour for our food. Portion sizes and quality did not match price point. Buyer beware. Fish comes with skin and bones. Never have I experienced this. They should include this on their menu as it would have influenced what I had ordered. Just up the street is ship wreck. Their fish and chips looked much better no skin on the fish. Also they advertise a 2 pieces of fish and generous serving of French fries. I personally would not consider the serving of French fries generous. And again no where in the description does it say skin on fish. Again the wait was absolutely ridiculous. Wish I could say it was worth the wait read more

The fish is fresh and lightly battered and not greasy. Unfortunately neither the skin or mud vein were cleaned off fish. Don't get much fish for $18. The fries are not fresh cut Lovely setting over looking harbor and nice service. Purvis Fish and chips in Gore Bay and Herbert fishery in Killarney set a higher standard. read more

This restaurant is located on the hill be the harbour. It has a large patio for those who like to enjoy the good weather. Service - pretty attentive. We were seated fairly quickly and servers came to take our orders at an appropriate time despite it being busy. Food - we had the fish and chips and the fish tacos. The fish they use is a local Georgian bay whitefish (at least that's what they claimed) which is somewhat different than the typical halibut or cod that I'm used to. The fish tasted pretty good - I liked that it had the skin on. It was freshly fried - not overly breaded or greasy. The fries are entirely average - nothing special - pretty sure it's frozen fries thrown into a deep fryer but does the job as the "chips". The tartar sauce comes pre-packaged in those little rectangle plastic sauce packets - again, nothing special. The fish taco is also very average (arguably sub-par). Fish itself inside was fine but really not that much filling. Mainly dough, some pieces of fried fish and RAW cabbage (blegh!) - had some sort of mango sauce but even that was not enough to redeem this excuse for a fish taco. It is pretty cheap though so I guess you get what you pay for. They should just replace the raw cabbage and sauce with their coleslaw as the filling - would make it way better. Also, got a side of coleslaw which was pretty good. It's more of a creamy, sweet coleslaw for those of you who prefer the more vinegar-y kind. I do prefer the creamy coleslaw so I might be a bit biased here. This is a solid 2.5/5 restaurant but given the tourist-y nature of the city, it got rounded up to a 3 due to its price value. read more

Summary: good service, expensive fish and chip that in my opinion does not taste good. A tourist spot. Recommend: not recommend here. Even you just been to Tobermory and want to try its famous fish and chip, do not try it here. Price: at least $15/person Service: 4/5, very helpful and friendly staff Food: 2/5 Recommend dish: calamari Not recommend dish: fish and chip I know Tobermory is famous for its fish and chip, however, in my opinion, it does not taste good. To me McDonald's fillet-o-fish burger probably taste better. I don't think this place processed the fish properly. The fish still has its skin on. So it tasted very fishy and smelly. Some people might like it. I ordered calamari, which I think it is a better dish. I think the fish and chip and St. Lawrence market is cheaper, tastes better and bigger portion. This place has so many tourists. I guess it is just a tourist spot. read more

Fish and chips is a Tobermory must do. They use white fish in the Georgian Bay Area instead of cod. The difference is real. It's lighter and tastier. The breading is lighter too. I'm not a huge fish and chips fan. When I do indulge like once or twice a year it had better be worth it. It is worth it at The Fish and Chip Place. Get there early as there tends to be a line in July and August. Tobermory has been discovered:(. read more

Definitely the best fried fish in Canada! (The chips/fries is just average, kinda soggy) But the secret is the fact that they fried the fish with skin on (soooo damn goodddd!!) Their fish taco is also amazing! It's big, equals to 2 tacos for me. It's just sad that I have to pay extra for hot sauce :( next time, I'll bring my own hot sauce LOL My boyfriend and I ordered a fish & chips (2 pcs fish + loads of fries), 2 fish tacos, and a clam chowder. We're so stuffed after. They do give you lots of fries! However, I DO NOT recommend their clam chowder. It's pretty bland and has a texture of a pudding than a creamy chowder. It's very confusing dish to me. It was also only warm, I would've liked my chowder served hot. My recommendation? Just order the fish fillets, fish tacos, and maybe a small fries if you really need carbs to fill you up. read more

We told by a friend that if I visit tobermory, I must try the fish and chips because they are really good. I visited this restaurant with pretty high expectations but I was extremely disappointed. We ordered the fish taco and the fish and chips. They both weren't good. The fish taco had too much sauce which overpowered the fish. The fish inside the taco had bones. Same goes for the fish and chips. The fish and chips were not crispy. They didn't have that nice crispy battered crust. It seemed like it was literally little battered fried fish. The flavour was bland and there was also bones in it. The fries tasted stale and soggy. The only good thing was, they were pet friendly and dogs were allowed on the patios. They had dog water bowls too but the water bowls did not contain fresh water. The bowl were dirty and had crumbs inside. Overall, the food was not fresh and hot. Would not recommend it. read more

Our server welcomed us and told us they'd be right back with water and proceeded to forgot about us for 20 minutes and we hadn't even ordered anything yet... We got fish tacos, an order of 6 fish and a bowl of fries. The fried fish had skin on them. The fish tacos had vanilla yogurt in them. I repeat, we ordered three fish tacos and all three had vanilla yogurt as the "tangy yogurt sauce." We waited an hour for a disappointing meal. If you're looking for sustenance, eat here, if you're looking for an enjoyable meal, go somewhere else. read more

By far one of the worst fish I have ever had, first off watch for bones, skin is not removed and it tastes so fishy that I only ate one piece, it was like they just put the whole fish in the fryer and btw it is whitefish that you will be eating for $12.95 with fries The famous tobermory fish taco is first of all a burrito not a taco, and it is basically one piece of the fish & chip wrapped in a Tortilla with some salsa and cabbage....not very good at all Quite disappointed at this place The service was good and the patio is nice facing the harbor but I can't justify how bad the food was....you've been warned read more

The fish taco tastes as if a child made it for me. I gagged for a couple minutes in the bathroom afterwards. One time my super skidly friend Chad made me a taco with cold cuts, lettuce and Old El Paso Salsa that tasted better than the tripe they serve at this place. I would rather go to the doctor, remove a rib like Marilyn Manson once did and eat my own ass then eat at this garbage restaurant. read more

Their signature Fish and Chip is quite good. The fish is very tasty and actually have a high level of fish content compared to some of the other fish and chips I've had. There are two pieces of fish per serving, along with a handful of fries. I also tried the Tobermory Fish Taco which is slightly disappointing. It could be a lot better if the tortilla wrap has more taste to it. Great place to eat after a long hike (lessens the guilt too). The restaurant is located right next to the harbor and the patio has a great view. Service is good, however very slow. It takes about 15-20min for the foods to arrive. But I guess read more

Okay, so it may be called 'The Fish and Chip Place', but that doesn't mean that it is a 'good' fish and chip place. Right in downtown Tobermory, it has one of the very few prime locations. The space itself was a stand and then they seem to add an area that is covered to make it a 'restaurant'. Seated ourselves as the sign said and then got some menus. Ordered the Fish and Chips, figuring it would be the best thing as it is essentially in the name, but it was a bit of a let down. The fish itself was a little bland and dry inside and the fries were on the soggy side. The service was bit slow, but there was only 1 server the entire time we were there. She had to tend to about 7-8 tables at the same time, so I really don't blame her. Overall, not a spot I would recommend if you're looking for a meal while down in Tobermory. Not many other options in the area, but would say give something else a try. read more

We ate at The Fish and Chip Place on Sunday 8/18 in the late afternoon. The restaurant is right next to the bay. Most of the seating is outside and the restaurant opens completely up so even the patrons inside feel like they are sitting outside. First thing to note is there is typically no hosting/seating service. The seating is first come first served. We didn't realize this even after a man and his two kids (12ish and 14ish) pushed by us to claim a table while we looked for someone to seat us. A young woman (who later turned out to be our waitress) was extremely helpful and helped scan the restaurant for patrons finishing up so we could claim our table by hovering over the seats of the poor people. Once we were seated, our friendly waitress found us again. We loved her! We ordered Fried Calamari for an appetizer. We really enjoyed it but I was tempted to think that it was frozen because it didn't seem fresh and there was little flavor. My husband and I ordered the Fish and Chip Plate which came with two fish filets and french-fries (I substituted mine for onion rings). My daughters ordered chicken fingers and the fish bites. My husband and I also shared two *cough* pitchers of Sleeman Beer. Overall the food was average and the servings were pretty small. Despite the serving sizes, we left feeling satisfied-perhaps it was the beer?? :) Overall, the real value behind The Fish and Chip Place is the location and the local Tobermory ambiance. And let's not forget our waitress. I wish I knew her name to give her special recognition because she was fantastic! read more

First, the menu is pretty much the name. Second, if you only do fish and chips you better do them well! This place is a Tobermory 'must'! Local whitefish, served mainly outdoors def motley brings the crowds. The service can be a bit slow, usually because the spot is packed, but have a beer, take in the view and relax! The food is worth the wait. Thin strips of battered fresh fish and a bed of fries will be your reward. Not high class, but damn good. read more

We ate dinner today at this little fish and chips place. Wait staff was very nice and the speed of the food delivery was excellent. The fried fish was good, though they offer only little, plastic, single serving tarter sauces. Fries were so so, nothing special. Fried shrimp were also good. The clam chowder was creamy and had a good enough taste, but it was 99% potatoes. The fish tacos were not that great. The fish it self was good, but the rest needs improvement. Don't get the edamame bean salad, not good! Onion rings were okay, but nowhere the top of the list. Dinner for 2 adults and 3 kids ran ~$100 Canadian. read more

Hmmmmm. Famous fish taco was so cold and old. It was served wrapped too tight so everything was squished and .....well I asked waiter if it wasn't supposed to be served hot and he took it back, very willing to correct it. When it was served again, immediately, the shell was hot but the insides were those same old cold ones. What a disappointment! Highly recommended but execution was a fail today. read more

Visited Sun May 28 for lunch. Pros Fish and chips were fresh and tasty, fries a bit bland. FIsh is locally caught. Cons Coleslaw tasted like it was from a can. Tartar sauce was just a store bought Kraft sauce. I was expecting homemade tartar sauce. Fish taco was good, but not amazing. Spiders and cobwebs in the dining room. Protip - Can't think of anything unique about this place. Damage - $28 after tax before tip. read more

Staff was great, very friendly and quick. Food was a big disappointment. Tried the infamous Tobermory Fish Taco. Never expected a dish taco to taste sweet? Weird thing was that everything from the taco to the coleslaw to the hot sauce seemed like it was full of sugar. read more

Liked the outdoor seating and genial service but the food was mediocre at best. Fish and chips, which in Tobermory should have been outstanding, were soggy, fries nothing special. Fish tacos were enchilada style with wheat as opposed to corn tacos. Fish pieces were minuscule. Or perhaps I lost the plot there? Extra extra extra for a tiny bit of sriracha and guac! read more

This spot looks more appealing then some of the other fish and chip places in town, but don't be fooled. The fish and chip bites were great, but their "famous fish taco" was probably actually the worst fish taco I've ever had. Our server was very friendly but was the only server working outside during a very busy dinner rush on a Sunday evening. So needless to say everything was very slow, from ordering, to getting our food to getting our cheque. Again, not the servers fault. He still did a great job considering how over worked he was. The price of the food and their fish bites saved this spot from getting 1 star. The prices didn't make me cringe like everything else in Tobermory. read more
