I heard about this place on the radio for a long time and decided to catch up with a friend here…read moreand check this place out. Small quaint place tucked away in a small plaza in a neighborhood side street with promises of offering traditional British fare. Pleanty of parking in the plaza. First thought inside was a tad dated but a cute neighborhood joint . Menu offered a number of British classics like mushy peas and meat pies.. but I came for the fish and chips. Cool thing you can choose you fish, halibut, haddock and Cod. I chose the combo meal with gave 2 big pieces of battered fish, chips and 2 sides and I chose the mushy peas and coleslaw (when in Rome lol). I thought the fish was done perfectly and chips were crispy on the outside and tender. I enjoyed it here, the price was reasonable I thought and our server was friendly. I would recommend this place if you are craving decent fish and chips.

I will NEVER EVER come back to this place again. After 2…read morehorrible experiences coming here. There are no more chances. First off their fish and chips is only second rate. I only come to this place as a back up to "Duckworths" and "Olde Yorke". They are very close by and worth it to go to these places instead. That is where I'll be taking my fish and chips business. Because they are 10 times better in quality and taste. 1st bad experience: I came here about a month ago and I checked their website for their hours as I had to drive 50 minutes to get there. Once I got there they had posted a paper sign that they were gone fishing and closed for a week or two. Now, I know everybody deserves a break or vacation. I'm not mad about that BUT they should notify their paying customers, especially on their website. That is where they failed. 2nd bad experience: so I still came back (ugh) recently because I was in the area. This time I called to make sure they are open. I proceeded to order a superb fillet of Haddock as it is their first menu item. The lady at the desk said ok halibut. I said no the haddock. I had to go on my phone and show her the menu item. Fine, I then proceeded to order a steak pie. I said cooked and she said do you want to cook it at home? I told her NO I want to eat it right away. OMG. I also ordered a small onion rings. This is after literally 4 minutes of ordering just 3 menu items. I mean the lady spoke English so there was no language barrier. She was just, how do you say politely "unintelligent". I thought whatever, maybe it'll be ready in 5-10 minutes. THEN The order taker passes it onto another waitress, it took her (I'm not joking) literally 3 minutes to explain superb haddock fillet and steak pie. Then she asks me anything else. I was completely exasperated, I told her " I ALSO ORDERED ONION RINGS" OMFG. This lady is "UNINTELLIGENT" OMFG I just left And Took my business to "Olde Yorke Fish and chips". Where I'll be taking my business from now on. I am NEVER coming back here again And If you want a decent Fish and chips for the food and experience. Go to Duckworths at Main and Danforth Or Olde Yorke Fish and Chips on Laird and Eglington.

Service was slower than expected...even considering the rush, and a little unorganized. If someone was going the payment only, not trying to also manage everything else, it would have gone much smoother. Staff were almost cordial, as much as expected.

The haddock was good - tasty & reasonably crispy even eaten 15 mins later as takeout. The chips had an authentic British crispiness, so they'd have been better when fresh. The shrimp was coconut shrimp rather than being normal battered shrimp (this isn't mentioned on the main menu, but elsewhere). It was decent, though the slightly spicy cocktail sauce did not really go with it. There was quite a bit of "shrimp" (i.e. reformed shrimp patty with a shrimp tail stuck in). Both dishes came with a small serving (sauce container) of coleslaw. It was decent - crisp & tasty, though a touch sharp.

It's one of those spots that you read about and then hear about through word of mouth. So you know it's good. Though everything we ordered was fried, it didn't feel heavy, the batter was light and crispy, and the fish nice and juicy. Chips? Perfectly fried. Didn't snap a pic, but definitely get the onion rings, they're huge! Because I was with a larger group, we ordered 2 desserts to share - both enjoyed by the group. On Fridays and Saturdays they don't seat you until your whole group is present, so plan ahead if you're coming with more people. The staff was attentive, giving the right amount of attention while the dining room was filled throughout the time we were there. Delicious meal and an awesome experience with great company.

I have no words! Hands down one of the best fish and chips spots I have been to!…read more Fish is fresh, never dry. Batter is super crispy never overdone or greasy. Portions are generous and the coleslaw and fries are amazing and complete the fish so well. I can eat just a plateful of their fries. Service is great, all the servers are so incredibly nice and friendly. It is always packed at lunch & dinner. Def a local favourite because everyone there knows each other. We tried the haddock, halibut and breaded shrimp! I wish I could have shared more photos, but when the plates are brought to the table I can't resist digging in right away! The menu options are great where you can get 3 pieces of haddock or halibut with 2 orders of fries. Lots of parking and plenty of seating inside. Takeout orders are 5% off. The menu is great with so many options! We first tried Joy's 6 weeks ago - we have been back almost every week since our first visit. When it's time to pay they give you a scratch card with your receipt - everyone is a winner. To redeem the card, spend $35 on your next visit for the free item. Some of the items you can scratch and win are , haddock & fries, halibut & fries, Joys feast special, large plate of fries. I'm sure there are more as these are just the items we have won. Options for fish and chips are very limited in Markham, so I love the option of visiting Stouffville nearby for Joy's Fish & Chips. Until next time...

I would have liked the fries to be hand cut. I think they were frozen but to each restaurant their own. The price was very reasonable for a halibut fish and chips. The service was amazing. The 2 waitress that served me were very fast and efficient. Which a 25% tip was deserving. The only down side was the decor and ambiance. The inside and furnishings were a bit on the old and used too much side. I would recommend they do some renovations to spruce the place up. I would also recommend all yelpers and patrons to try this spot as the halibut fish and chips are worth the visit and money. Side note: I didn't try any of the other fishes like cod and haddock so no comment on those.

I haven't been here in like 1-2 years now and came on a whim because I was craving fish and chips…read more Amy's hit the hunger spot though. I ordered 2 of their specials (Haddock and chips including a pop) for $12.50 + tax each. I was a little hesitant about the haddock being fishy? And was debating on paying more and getting their halibut. I was worried sick all the way home. But Upon eating the haddock, I was truly genuinely surprised at how good it was. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between this and halibut which is saying a lot about fish and chips. When my food was done, I saw the cook ( a lady ) and it was the same one from my previous visits a long time ago. Oh boy, I hope they don't change as the lady cook is a keeper! I know that this place was up for sale a while back and that is why I was hesitant to come here recently. But, after seeing that the cook is the same, I will be sure to make a few more visits and into my regular rotation of take out food. To all the yelpers out there. This is by far the best haddock I've tried and is comparable to halibut at a portion of the price. It's an easy recommendation.
