Excellent and super fresh White fish "fish & chips" - 2 lightly battered pieces and a generous amount of good fries served up in a paper lined basket for just under 11 $; however, you pay extra for hot sauce ( $ 1.25 !) as well as for coleslaw. Other sides such as guacamole are downright pricey. Tarter sauce is... More

Service was slow. Fish and chips were OK and to their credit they had a gluten free option. However, the fish tacos, which they claim to be famous for, we're not good at all. The fish was mushy and not particularly warm, and the portion was small given the price. To top it off, they wanted to charge $1.25 for... More

Its our annual tradition - we drive an hour from sauble beach. the food is great - fresh white fish. Not sure what it is but the beer taste different here - could be the scenery.

I thought that the food here was pretty good. I tried the fish and chips and the fish taco. Both were good, but the taco was a bit soggy and heavy on the salsa. The best thing about this spot is the location. You are right in the harbour and there is a lot to see, and it also gets... More

We live just 1/2 hour away from Tobermory and this is definiately our fish and chip choice. We get the basket of 6 pieces or more and the fish is always caught fresh and lightly battered - just enough for a coat, not enough to be goopy inside and full of grease. They have yummy coleslaw and the view of... More

Went here with my family last July for dinner and we almost left because the place was so busy and we couldn't find a table for our huge group. We ended up ordering the Family Fish and Chips platter. The fish was a bit oily but you can tell it was fresh which was good. We were a bit disappointed,... More

WE showed up last minute for a meal just before closing. Our waitress was awsome and took care of us quickly. We felt bad for coming in so late but nobody seemed to mind. Food was good, service was great! Will return.

The setting is great, the fish and chips are okay, and the service adequate and designed to keep the tables moving. But the owners are pretty greedy with these outrageous prices. There are two or three places in town with much better value for those looking for fish and chips.

While the rest of my party enjoyed their fish & chips, I had a nice bowl of clam chowder which was served hot with some crackers on the side. Although I would have preferred it to have more chunks of clam, it was still very good.
