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.

It all tasted fresh and delicious and "light" considering it was deep fried. The batter had good crunch. We loved all of it...our toddler loved the fries and the decor, especially the murals. We will absolutely be back.

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!

My biggest complaint... they DO NOT KNOW HOW TO make tartar sauce... because of this, I do not need to go their as often, unfortunately. They have nothing in it... I need tartar sauce for my fish... and I may have to make my own and bring it. It's simple... but, for some reason they've stopped adding relish. It's so easy to make, I didn't think it could be screwed up... but, they have royally messed up. I'll still eat the fish. Just a bit disappointed that it'll have to be eaten dry.

Didn't snap a pic, but definitely get the onion rings, they're huge! Because I was with a larger group, we ordered 2 desserts to share - both enjoyed by the group. On Fridays and Saturdays they don't seat you until your whole group is present, so plan ahead if you're coming with more people.

The Crab Cake was acceptable (not as flavourful as other Crab Cakes I've had). There are a few slices of deep-fried jalapeno included. The Coleslaw was ok. The Haddock and Fries were good. The Tartare sauce was acceptable. The Coleslaw was ok. There is an open kitchen. There is indoor seating and a small counter seating. The vibe is of the 1960s, with the majority of the decorations dedicated to The Beatles. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two gender-neutral washrooms downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible; you need to ask for a key. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. There is one high chair for little children. Review 2025-049
