This would be another 3.5 star review - if only we could do half stars!!
Tim's has started advertising specials on Tuesdays, and if last night was anything to go by, it seems to be working! $9.09 for 1 piece and fries; $11.99 for 2 pieces and fries. Does not come with coleslaw.
Five or six people lined up for their orders, while 1 woman ran the show by herself - taking the orders, prepping the food, taking payments, and taking orders over the phone. What a show!
At one point, I heard a loud noise in the back so I took a peek; it was a cylinder placed on a stand at torso-height, and it was rumbling loud enough to wake the dead, while pouring water out the side into a sink. I thought, "ok, it's laundry." Even though I could not see where she was even using towels. After a few minutes, the woman went to the contraption and turned it off, and placed a metal bowl in the sink. When she opened the cylinder, it contained peeled potatoes!! Magic!! Then she very efficiently took each potato from the open contraption, using a knife, and put it in a french fry cutter bolted to the wall, and quickly cut long slivers of potatoes caught in the metal bowl. It was all very quick and efficient, as well as entertaining.
This place, like so many post COVID, is take out only. However, there isn't room for tables here, even in better times.
My portion of fish was tasty but small. But the meal was filling!!
Here's the caveat: last year I compared pizza joints, and this year it's fish & chips. There's lots of competition!! Tim's is good, and the price is great! But the fish at Manollo in Brockville is better (it is also takeout only, and I've reviewed that too).
So I would probably go back to Tim's coz it's very local and not bad. And I enjoyed the show! read more
