This has to be the worst restaurant that I've experienced in Brighton. I was given the wrong order, refused it and sent it back. They charged my wife for the dinner anyway. My wife mentioned to me that the windows were filthy as we were...entering and some of the tables had crumbs on them. I'll never enter there again. From now on I will go to Frank's Diner, less than a block away.More

Ordered Fish & Chips on 3 different occasions at our local Brighton location. First 2 occasions were great, good service and food. Waited inside at 1 one of 3 empty blue benches. But last and final visit was terrible. Fish was OK and fries under-done....Asinine fictional policy, had to wait outside for take-out order while there was 3 empty blue benches indoors.More

Take your choice - eat in or take away - either way the fish and chips are always fresh and yummy. Ask for the lunch portion unless you can handle a large portion as they are "very" generous. Good pricing and friendly efficient staff!

I arrived at the restaurant at 7:32 p.m. I was pleased to see that the restaurant closed at 8.00 which meant I was not too late. I was greeted by a staff member who was basically standing near the front door. I said I would...like to sit at a table for dinner. Abruruptly I was told no, the dining room closes ar 7.30. I turned on my heel and left.More

I have been here twice now when I've been in Brighton. This is one very busy place. I thought I would be early for dinner (4:45) and that it would be quiet. No! Most of the tables were full and there were people in and...out for take out constantly. There was a table inside to write down your covid info if you were eating there. Covid vaccine info was looked at when you were seated. Once I ordered the fish with some shrimp and the other time just the fish. Both times it was excellent. Good portion. Coleslaw was very good and so was the tartar sauce. There seemed to be only one waitress and she was definitely moving fast! She did an excellent job! My meals were brought out promptly each time even though it was very busy in there. I highly recommend this restaurant.More

Not many Americans in Canada right now, but here we are. We were traveling from Toronto to Montreal, and headed off the 401 to see a lighthouse on Lake Ontario. We came back through Brighton and stopped at Captain George's. The waitress was really helpful....She pointed out a special displayed on the window we had missed, buy one get one fish dinner half off. I'm so glad she did! Best fish I've had in a long time. She also gave us directions to the grocery store, and overall provided quick and cheerful service. I wish we could stop by again soon, but we're heading back through Maine. Just glad we found it.More

Despite Covid-19 restrictions and a very busy evening....the staff here have a numbered system for ordering food. Halibut is very tasty and the hand cut french fries are absolutely delicious.

Captain George in Brighton make the best halibut and fries ever. The halibut is perfectly battered and cooked and the fries are made to order and never, ever frozen. And the coleslaw and gravy is really good too. We start with their oh so yummy...halibut chowder so give it a try too. Even with all the covid restrictions the staff are always friendly and that is much appreciated. We always look forward to eating there.More

Usually get take out from here. The first time we went to dine in, we had to clear a table, and it was a while before things got cleaned up. It was a Saturday night, and the waitress was very busy, so it wasn't her...fault, but it wasn't a pleasant experience for our first time. Fish & Chips are great though! One of the best, in my humble opinion.More

During Covid, no precautions were taken. Did not appreciate person at the cash handling money and then my food. I asked for a plastic fork and knife as it was a take out order, and she picked up the tong end of the fork and...the sharp part of the knife with her hands. I did not feel like eating my food knowing her bare hands had touched the utensils during Covid, right after handling money. Fries were greasy and black and shrivelled up. I also was overcharged. I phoned the owner later but he was totally indifferent and simply made up something ridiculous about the overcharging.More

Not impressed. Today, I ordered a "Banquet Burger WITH fries"...on the menu it reads...Banquet Burger With Fries -- $12.75...that reads to me the fries are included with the burger. When the waitress brought my order it only had the burger, nothing else. Where were my...fries? I asked her, and she said the order doesn't include fries, only the burger. I asked her politely about it, why it says WITH fries, and she was annoyed as she repeated her answer. I had to pay an added $4.55 for fries. That means I paid $17.30...plus tax... for a burger and fries. They weren't worth that ridiculous amount. And...I left her a $5 tip. How stupid is that? What a ripoff joint.More

Went there last weekend while camping at KOA in Brighton. The staff were extremely friendly, the food excellent and the service was quick. Overall, a very well run restaurant. Will definitely go back next time we are in the area.
