    I had dinner at Digby's with my husband and father-in-law. Overall, the food was good. Decor was kitschy nautical, but the place looked a bit rundown. To my father-in-law's chagrin, they do not have a liquor license. I had the Salmon Dinner ($19.75). You can have the salmon baked, grilled, or poached. I chose baked. It also comes with 2 sides and I got a tossed salad and steamed vegetables. The salmon itself was delicious. I loved the seasoning on it. It was a steak instead of a filet, but they removed the bones and sort of flipped it inwards, so the skin was in the centre (if you look at my picture, you'll see what I mean). I have never had a salmon steak presented to me like that, but I liked it. The vegetables were just steamed carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. They were not too mushy, but not too al dente either, so just right. I really liked that they didn't drench the vegetables in oil or butter. Instead they give packets of butter on the side (I didn't use any though). The tossed salad was romaine lettuce, with cucumbers, tomatoes, red cabbage, green and red peppers, celery and onions. Ingredients were fresh, but I found the salad a bit boring. Maybe a crunchy element to give it some texture or a more exotic ingredient to give it some oomph would be a good addition. I asked for balsamic dressing on the side and it arrived as requested. My husband had the Crab Cakes Dinner ($18.50). It also came with 2 sides and he got fries and a Ceasar salad. His meal had 2 crab cakes and they were deep-fried. He said they were good and he could taste the crab. I had some of his fries and they were just ok in my opinion. They weren't too crispy and they tasted too starchy to me. His Caesar salad was romaine lettuce, powdered parmesan and croutons. No bacon. (On the way out I noticed a sign that said that the restaurant is Halal, which explains why the Caesar salad didn't have bacon and why there is no liquor license). And he got some bonus coleslaw too. My father-in-law had the Shrimp Dinner ($19.95) which consisted of 10 shrimp, either lemon butter, garlic, Cajun, or battered, and he got them battered. His dinner also came with 2 sides and he got fries and coleslaw. He also opted to get an add-on of battered scallops for an additional $6. I tried a shrimp and a scallop and I was impressed with the size of the shrimp. It was pretty large and tasted good. The scallops were a bit smaller, but also good. The batter on both was pretty thick though and they were definitely greasy. I was happy to try one, but I would not have wanted a plate of them. Service was friendly, but very casual. It's a very casual type of restaurant. I would say more of a place to take the hungry kids to eat, or a place to go when you don't want to cook, as opposed to a nice evening out. The atmosphere felt like a diner to me. Less of a corporate feel than Denny's or Perkins, but I think the same level of casualness. Decor was nautical-themed and a bit kitschy with fake lobster traps and plastic fish adorning the walls and shelves, and marine life painted on the walls. The booths looked a bit dated, but that might be part of the diner-esque charm. It was incredibly busy with dine-in guests and customers getting takeout. The restaurant is in The Centrum, to the left of the Chapters and Walmart, near the Dollarama. Plenty of free parking.

    Located in the centrum near the Subway store in kanata this fish and chip spot is pretty darn good. A group of 4 of us went there for lunch on a Friday and it wasn't that busy. We all got the shrimp, scallop and Pollock plate with different side dishes. The food over all was delicious and the side dishes were great also. The main Pollock pieces were a bit on the small side and a bit greasy but I suppose I can't expect more from fried fish. Overall experience including service was great enough to warrant a second or third visit!

    This would be another 3.5 star review - if only we could do half stars!!…read more Tim's has started advertising specials on Tuesdays, and if last night was anything to go by, it seems to be working! $9.09 for 1 piece and fries; $11.99 for 2 pieces and fries. Does not come with coleslaw. Five or six people lined up for their orders, while 1 woman ran the show by herself - taking the orders, prepping the food, taking payments, and taking orders over the phone. What a show! At one point, I heard a loud noise in the back so I took a peek; it was a cylinder placed on a stand at torso-height, and it was rumbling loud enough to wake the dead, while pouring water out the side into a sink. I thought, "ok, it's laundry." Even though I could not see where she was even using towels. After a few minutes, the woman went to the contraption and turned it off, and placed a metal bowl in the sink. When she opened the cylinder, it contained peeled potatoes!! Magic!! Then she very efficiently took each potato from the open contraption, using a knife, and put it in a french fry cutter bolted to the wall, and quickly cut long slivers of potatoes caught in the metal bowl. It was all very quick and efficient, as well as entertaining. This place, like so many post COVID, is take out only. However, there isn't room for tables here, even in better times. My portion of fish was tasty but small. But the meal was filling!! Here's the caveat: last year I compared pizza joints, and this year it's fish & chips. There's lots of competition!! Tim's is good, and the price is great! But the fish at Manollo in Brockville is better (it is also takeout only, and I've reviewed that too). So I would probably go back to Tim's coz it's very local and not bad. And I enjoyed the show!
