Been coming here for years and it just doesn't feel the same anymore. A lot of the staff that made this place what it was are suddenly gone, and you can definitely feel it. It used to be super welcoming and familiar -- now it just feels kind of off. From what I've heard, the new management isn't very upfront with people, which might explain why so many long-time employees have disappeared. Even people with deep roots here don't seem to be sticking around, which is pretty telling. Not trying to stir anything up, just honestly disappointed. This used to be one of those go-to spots, and now it feels like it lost a big part of what made it good in the first place. Hope they figure it out. read more

Haven't been in a while and we were passing by and thought we would have lunch. The fish and chips were excellent and the servers were friendly and provided great service! It won't be so long before our next visit! read more

C-Lovers Fish & Chips - The dinner for 2 is always a hit. Only complaint is she'd like to sub coleslaw for mushy peas - Seafood Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Honestly I was excited to see all you can eat words on menu. So I asked what fishes I can have. The server told me only Pollack! Glad I didn't order it. Instead of that, I had 1 pc of cod fish a d chips and seafood chowder. Cod was medicore. Coleslaw was thick and long cut. Interesting. Chowder was perfect for cold rainy day. I wished less potatoes and more seafood. Overall good balance and delicious. read more

One of the best for fish and chips but sometimes the service is lacking still good though if your craving something different

I had a craving for fish and chips! This place can definitely satisfy your cravings! I like how crispy their fish is, the batter is pretty good and the pieces are reasonably sized! The chips/fries could use more seasoning like salt and I like to add vinegar. Also tartar sauce and ketchup bottles on the side for us to use freely was nice. With the all you can eat fish and chips deal it's $16.99 per person and comes with bottomless pop. I got root beer to drink and it's quite sweet, I got accustomed to the sweetness of it and actually liked it a lot more by the end, also the staff is so accommodating with refills, they just gave us pitcher on the side and made sure there was always pop! The fish was really good in the beginning but by the end it did get quite oily. That's the thing about all you can eat, that's my fill of fish and chips for a while! read more

C-Lovers Fish & Chips - All you can eat fish and chips $16.99 - Seafood Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

During my recent visit to C-Lovers near Coquitlam Center, I had a very disappointing experience. Here are the reasons why I wouldn't recommend this restaurant: Upon entering, I noticed a rather large sign that stated 2 or less to sit at tiny tables. This type of behavior from a restaurant was new to me. It seems they had only 3 people in the restaurant when I visited but are enforcing this rule. When I ordered their fish, it was mostly batter with barely any fish and small pieces. This was very disappointing and unexpected. They only had one waitress who didn't seem to want to be there. This made the service slow and unenjoyable. It seems they have high prices for halibut compared to their competitors. They charge over 30 dollars for 2 pieces that are only 4 oz, whereas the competition charges 25 for 6 oz pieces. Based on my experience, I wouldn't go back to C-Lovers near Coquitlam Center and wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for quality seafood and good service read more

Let me start with the service was excellent and my order arrived relatively quickly. Not to the negative. I've been here before and loved but on this day, not so much. I was hungry and thought I'd try a few things. I got a 2 piece halibut and chips, gravy, 3 dill pickle spears (because why not) and an iced tea. The total came to $44. The fish portions were small and mostly batter. The fries were a small portion in the middle of the plate that while crispy on the outside were undercooked on the inside. The gravy while hot, didn't have much taste and was separating and congealing at the same time. The iced tea was cold but I made the mistake of going "bottomless" for an extra $2. They do have an all you can eat with bottomless pop for $20 which looks like the best deal. I was just thinking of going back to try it until the table in front of me ordered more fish and they got what looking like 2 small chicken finger sized pieces of fish. This sadly feels like another company doing what they can to stay afloat but hurting themselves in the process. read more

Overall good food and great service! Went in for lunch, had very reasonable prices for the amount of food you got. The fish and chips were delicious, definitely a place to eat if you are craving. The waitress was very nice and constantly came back to check on us. Will be visiting again soon. read more

To be honest, I've gone to some fish and chips places in the lower mainland and had to dab the fish with a napkin to take off the oil. Yet, this location is good to make us return customers. It was a sad day when Joe Blows in Maple Ridge closed as it too is worthy of praises. Kerwin Maude,b.a read more

What is better on a rainy cool day than a faceful of yummy fish and chips. I was very impressed with the thoroughness of the COVID protocol check on arrival. Nice to see folks embracing reality. Well done. Our server was friendly and engaged throughout. I had the one piece dinner of halibut, just for the .... (sorry) and was very full at the end of the feast. The fish portion was excellent, with a crunchy tasty batter that is not too heavy, not too light. Just right! A healthy serving of french fries (oxymoron?) and a side of slaw. The slaw was the only weak spot on the plate. Nice and crunchy but lacked any real flavour. Love it and highly recommend! read more

Went here for the all you can eat fish + chips for lunch. Got there just about noon and there was plenty of open tables, nice looking clean restaurant. We both had the Fish + Chips plus a sleeve of beer for $17.95 The food came quickly as we devoured our plates the server asked if we wanted more, we both said yes and another plate of fish and chips arrived for each of us. as we were finishing up, the restaurant became full. The service was great and the prices and food was good. I will be back soon! :+D read more

Went to this establishment over 20 years ago. Consistently went here on the days that had All you can eat. The fish pieces were bigger back then. And the waitresses were young pretty college girls. Was here last week. Usually went to the Burquitlam location but they closed down. They gave good sized pieces there. Ordered the AYCE. They give small pieces roughly the same size of a sharpie pen that has been battered up. Very good chips though. Crispy on the outside soft potato inside.When I ordered 3 more fish they were a bit bigger. & three more after that. Washed it down with pop. This location has large windows where you can watch the traffic on Pinetree. Will go to the North Van or Surrey location next time. Or perhaps I can give cockney kings another chance. read more

Yummy! We got the dinner platter for 2 and it was worth it. Their deep fried shrimps, cod and onion rings were yummy. Coleslaw was good too and their dipping sauces. Service was great and fast. Will be back again:) read more

Ordered take-outs again, and I don't know why we still bother. EVERY time we order they get the order wrong. Tonight we called back, spoke to George, who literally told us "I don't have the time for this" and hung up on us. When I called back, something happened. RUDEST staff ever. They should be shut down! read more

We walked in & 1 table left , but it was a 4 seater & the hostess said u can't have it , just in case 4 ppl come in So we left , stupidly when ppl leave after eating tables are available, so they lost out on 2 customers & we'll Never return again , so much for customer service & loyalty read more

I'd give quality a 3.5 stars but the service 5 stars! Decently clean place and simple decor. A convenient location with bus stops and skytrain station at walking distance, and a parking lot right outside. Decent portion and reasonable prices. They have quite a few options for the menu. They offer all-you-can-eat and it's all day, everyday, but you can't choose what kind of fish. I don't really mind that I couldn't choose and the fries were fresh and good. The fish is not bad but could be fresher and not the best fish & chips I've had. Good for hangovers and when you crave fish & chips and don't want to travel. The sauce is good but tend to be heavier compared to without the sauce, depending on how much you eat. The server was extremely friendly and attentive. She made us free very welcomed and comfortable. Would go back once in awhile as it's not bad for the price at all and the service is really good. read more

Close to the city, kind and friendly staff, there isn't much better than this. We ordered the all you can eat, and as much as it is tasty, it is a bit on the pricey side, with the average of 3 people being 50$, however, it was amazing overall. read more

This was a super lucky find. Needed to feed the kids in a hurry, we thought the quality was very good and excellent value too.

I really enjoy fish and chips. C-lovers is not the best but it is still very good, however I would only recommend it on the all you can eat days because the prices of the regular meals are getting a little bit too high. If you are a fan of fish and chips I would recommend it, but it isn't the best option out there. read more

If you enjoy pre-frozen blandness. C-lovers is for you. I was amazed it didn't come to the table in little triangles in a handy blue box. The person who wrote a good review for this joint also wrote a great review for Tim Horton's - so I guess they are a true gourmet and can speak with authority. Go next door to the Thai place, at least you won't get the gout. read more

I would love to try the food but unfortunately we got there at 7:40 on a Saturday night and they were already closed. On their site it says that they close at 8. Very disappointing! read more

Got take out Cod & Chips (2pcs) and Popcorn Shrimp. Fish & chips were wrapped up in paper/newspaper and was still warm once we got home. Opened up the packaging and found 2.5 pieces of fish. Great surprise. Split the fish among 2 of us and it was just the right amount of food. Popcorn shrimp was pretty good too!! Will go back another time to have the all-you-can-eat option. read more

I have been here twice in the past 8-months. The first time, I ordered the 2-piece Halibut dinner and the pieces of fish were fairly small. The table beside us was served these nice LARGE pieces of fish, so I thought perhaps I should have ordered the cod. Today I visited again and decided to get the "All you can eat" fish and chips. I specifically asked the waitress for larger pieces of fish. My order came and received chicken strip sized pieces of fish. Most likely they do this so that you eat more batter and get filled up quicker. I then asked for one more piece of fish and no word of a lie, it was the diameter of a sharpie felt pen and about 8" long. I'm sorry but I can t go back here again. The people being served these large pieces of fish must know the staff or owners because I don't understand how we keep getting these small pieces of fish. read more

Well I have read the bad reviews and I admit thats totally what I expected when we went a couple of weeks ago but it sooo good! I could complain about being charged for tartar but lots orf places do. The inside was surprising nice not what I had been expecting. In fact maybe thats what made it taste even better. But overall I was impressed with everything. My only regret is I didnt have the beer special with it. read more

Charge twice for single meal on my Visa. Watch out for this. No response for a request to credit to my Visa. I have been waiting for over 6 weeks. Food was tasty. read more

We've only ever gone for take-out. It is expensive but I really like it so we splurge now and then. The only thing that gets on my nerves is how expensive the tarter sauce is. You're already paying a lot...for take-out. And there's nowhere near enough tarter sauce. I mean, I figure if I'm paying for it they should give us lots right? No. The tarter sauce is yummy but it's a MAJOR rip off. read more

I am a British ex pat. So Fish & Chips is right at the top of my list of favorite meals. I am also very picky when it comes to Fish & Chips. I have gone to C-Lovers since it first opened in 1984, and one thing I can say is it has always been consistent. The restaurant it's self is always clean & tidy. And although it is a bit on the pricey side if you start adding things on. like their great authentic mushy peas or Battered Mushrooms. It is well worth every penny. and you leave with a full belly. They are the original owner/operators, and that is something I like, because you get to know people and they get too know you too. The food is never greasy or heavy either. read more

The best mushy peas in the lower mainland. The fish and chips are pretty good too.

Great, classic fish and chips. We did take out and it was fantastic.

I have been a customer at this location for several years and always been pleased with the service and quality of food. This evening was so exceptionally good that I felt I wanted to write a review. The dining area was completely full and every customer was receiving excellent, efficient, and friendly care from all of the servers as the cooks kept things moving at a quick pace. As always, the food was delicious. What more can I say except that I commend the staff and recommend the restaurant with the highest rating! read more

When I'm in the mood for fish n chips this is the place we go to. Not that there is really any other fish n chip place in the area. We get take out. The chips are quite good and the fish is large pieces but heavy on the batter. If you eat inside they do have a great toddler special that's one small piece of fish and chips, great for kids who are to young to eat off a kids menu, this is definitely something unique that should be available at other family type restaurants. Overall it's OK fish and chips but when you live in the Tri cities there's slim pickins when it comes to good old fashioned fish and chips.. read more

My favorite fish and chips place in the lower mainland! They have the best tartar. My family often gets their take out and it always comes with a generous serving of fries. I enjoy thier dine in all you can eat fish and chips. Note, the fish they use for the all you can eat is smaller pieces, the odds and ends. If you want that big piece, go for the regular meals! Love it! read more

Visited the restaurant for a sit down meal. Ordered a take-out for my brother. I am disappointed that there was no tartar sauce or ketchup in the bag. I was especially disappointed that I wasn't asked. When I go to Salty's Fish and Chips for take-out, they always ask if I need condiments. I think that the fish and chips were good but the take-out service could be better. My brother was disappointed opening his dinner at work with no condiments. Lesson: if you order take-out at C-Lovers I guess the responsibility is on the customer to remember to ask for condiments. That's not good service. So don't forget. read more
