Oh my goodness, I have to say what an Amazing experience I had at John's Fish & Chips. I walked 25 minutes to get here and it was worth it. The moment I walked through the doors I was greeted with a Beautiful smile and a very warm friendly Welcome! I had the Haddock with fries and coleslaw and it was Delicious! The batter was crispy and light , so full of flavor. This is a Wonderful family Owned business and it's now my new favorite place to get Fish and Chips. I had a wonderful conversation with the family as I was dining alone. I will Certainly be back.

For me and my family This place replaced the old Spot we LOVED with all our hearts. IT'S THAT GOOD. Years of family tradition ripped to shreds by DELIGHTFUL and WONDERFUL food and service. Haven't had such a nice dining experience in a long time. I had the lobster roll. YES it reflected the price of good lobster. No it didn't have any filler, Just succulent lobster and a wee bit of dressing. PERFECT. a kind of "step back and look around and remember there are good things in the world" kind of first bite. The bun was toasty, the lobster was the perfect temp. Idk how they did that. Fries were also exceptional (yes you can ask for gravy on the side). What the rest of my fam ordered looked killer. Imma need to keep trying dishes until I'm sure the lobster roll is still my fave. I'm told the actual fish and chips are also lovely. Yes, I am ordering it next time I go. Yes, I will update this review (I think I can do that). The staff are so lovely, and are also family. It's both cozy and welcoming. They are great. GO AND EAT HERE. EAT AT JOHN'S!!

Have been going here for an about a year and actually don’t live close by but for fresh food it’s worth it . First time today had their lobster roll . It has to be the freshest and least overloaded in filler like many with mayonnaise. The lobster fresh taste shine through . To find a better one in the city would be difficult. We also enjoy their fresh salads , I usually get Greek , which I believe the owner may be and we all know Greek restaurants deliver affordable quality . The lunch fish and chips plate is a bargain , plus you can have the fish cooked any style . It’s compact for parking but across the street the paid parking ends at 4:00 PM . The class of the owners was notable after my wife left her purse there with and all her cards , of course 2 days later realizing we were overwhelmed they had it in safe keeping , unopened .

We had the most wonderful experience at John’s Fish and Chips! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome. The service was incredibly personal and thoughtful—truly above and beyond. We went to celebrate our daughter’s 6th birthday, and they made her feel like a princess! From a warm welcome to special little touches throughout the meal, it was clear that they genuinely cared about making the night special for her (and for us!). The food was delicious! The fish was perfectly crispy, the chips were just right, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

So good! The fish was so meaty and the coating wasn’t too thick. We got a side of gravy for our fires and, wow! Coleslaw was good and tartar sauce was nice and garlicky.

Gluten-Free Options: Yes - but risk of cross contamination Halal/Kosher: Unsure Vegan Option: Yes Vegetarian Options: Yes Nut Free Options: Yes -but risk of cross contamination Dairy Alternatives: No First Impression: A cozy family owned restaurant. Order: Halibut fish and chips and grilled halibut with coleslaw and fries. Favourite: The fish. It’s high quality and has a great taste even when it’s fried or grilled. Make sure to get their homemade sauce as it really complements the fish. Critiques: Adding dietary restrictions to the menu could be helpful to some customers. Bonus: Their menu has a Greek twist to it with items such as Greek salad, baklava, saganaki and dolmades. Take Away: A hidden gem in the city. We will definitely be returning.

I'm SO GLAD I stumbled on this place today! I made an Uber Eats pickup order today trying the Halibut with chef's salad. The fish was so fresh and cooked to perfection. The batter is probably one of the best fish batters I've tasted, so light and crispy. I also appreciate how it's not greasy or oily at all. The fries were crispy and excellent, and the salad with house dressing was very fresh and tasted excellent and paired well with the meal. Even though I didn't dine-in this time, I did notice the interior was very nice, clean, and had a great vibe. And the 2 people working there were so nice and friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to visit them again and try the other menu items! This is a local business I highly recommend.
