    We had an amazing time having some fish n chips and chicken tenders. The food is so good and the prices were cheap too. Definitely worth checking out, this is a great hole in the wall spot. Can't wait to go back again.

    Cashier and counter area! You can also see all the awards they have won!

    A Kelowna classic! If you are familiar with Vancouver's Pajos ( popular fish and chips spot) I think this is better! The pieces are bigger and cheaper. The oil does not taste old! This is also quite traditional to what British fish and chips are. Also supporting local is great!

    They've been here for over 60 years. I'm sure it's had a change in ownership over the years, but what's unique is that it's a fish and chip joint that is nowhere near an ocean! Firstly the chips aren't half bad. Right out of the fryer they're good. They have halibut and cod and prawns. All dipped in a very thick batter . We had the fish and prawn combo. Came to over $25 for halibut and prawns. I knew not to expect Pajo's level of fish and chips. Firstly how fresh can the fish really be? It would have to be frozen for Kelowna. The ocean is quite far. Here's my breakdown. 1) Nostalgia, being here for 60 years means something. 4 stars 2) style, ambiance - the dated look is kinda cool. I like the styling. 4 stars. 3) Halibut - batter kinda too crispy, more harder than anything else. Maybe a bit overlooked. Not much fish inside. 2.5 stars 4) Prawns same as above, overcooked and crunchy. 2.5 stars 5) Chips were good. I have them a 3 stars. Overall? 3 stars. I'm sure they can do better and I may have come on a day just after the lunch rush and missed out on the good bits and the fresh oil for frying. I do like the ambiance of this place that just seems to pop from out of nowhere least expected. I'm glad I got the chance to try it out.

    Cod & halibut, fresh cut fries. Made to order. Add some malt vinegar and chow down

    We ordered cod and halibut, fresh cut fries, all made to order. The batter is light and the portions healthy. Add some malt vinegar, and chow down. This small place is in a residential area with a small eating area so we sat outside and enjoyed our meal. Luck people who live nearby.

    2 piece halibut & chips - to go, plus tartar & gravy

    Quick friendly service. Best fish and chips in Kelowna! Not a big seating area. Take out orders wrapped in newspaper. Very British!

    I had lunch with my daughter here today. What a treat! Small restaurant but it lacks nothing. The…read moreservice was great. Our meals were fantastic. Everything was fresh & cooked to perfection. This is a very comfortable place. No loud music, so we could carry on a conversation easily. We shared a dessert it was more than enough for two. Fresh pineapple fried in a tempura coating laid up on two scoops of wonderful ice cream with a Carmel sauce. If you're looking for a great fresh meal of assorted fresh fish this place can't be beat. The service is spot on. There when you need something otherwise you're left alone. No one hovering over you. There is a small patio if you like to sit outside. Have a bear or a glass of wine with your meal. Adjoining the restaurant is the fish monger. Stop & give this spot a try I'm sure you'll be pleased with your meal & the service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Broken Anchor to anyone looking to have a great meal if assorted types of fish & chips. There's something in the menu to please everyone. My daughter & I will definitely be going back for another enjoyable lunch. Thanks for the great service Broken Anchor & a meal that was fresh & delicious.

    We haven't had fish and chips for a very long time but decided to check out The Broken Anchor as…read morethey offer a gluten free batter. They're located in the Guisachan Village Centre. We dropped in on a Friday (around 6:15pm). The inside is small with about 5 tables. You order up at the counter and pay first. The menu consists of shares, tacos, bowls, sandwiches, fish & chips and family packs. They also have a very small, limited happy hour (1:00pm to 5:00pm). - Wild pacific cod ($21.55 for 1/2 lb) - the cod was extremely disappointing; completely dry and overcooked. The fries were the same. Soggy, limp and bland. Coleslaw was passable but oddly not cut evenly. - Steamed clams & mussels ($19.00) - came with four pieces of buttered bread. The white wine sauce and garlic was decent but something you could replicate at home. Would have liked a little more clams and mussels for the price point. Was hoping to find a gem but left Broken Anchor disappointed. Try somewhere else for your fish & chip fix.
