My family and I ALWAYS get food here when we're visiting Kincardine. It's a staple restaurant and I highly recommend stopping by! We had a large party of 14 and didn't have a reservation. It was Friday afternoon around 430pm and they were able to accommodate our party. John took great care of us, as well as all the other staff helping. The fish and chips are phenomenal here, we usually get the cod. I ordered a 2 piece meal with a Caesar salad and upgraded the fries to poutine. The servings are huge, and I split the meal with my cousin. Everything tasted incredible!! We also split an ice cream lava cake that was delicious. I ordered a drink that I can't recall the name of, but everyone enjoyed all the drinks and beer that was ordered. read more

My wife and I have been customers of this restaurant for years and up until today they never disappointed. Sadly today however that trend has come to a screaming halt. Staff was and continues to be friendly however a 2 piece haddock and chips was virtually a chips dinner (3/4 of the meal) with with a side order of 2 pieces of haddock. Way too many fires (soggy as well) for a single side order and the haddock was small. Taste if the haddock itself although cooked seemed to be lacking in taste. This had been our favorite fish and chip location in Ontario for nearly 30 years. Whether it is because of change of the times or Covid this location has lost the magic it once had for us. The price did not match the quality. read more

This is what I want when fish and chips. O tarter sauce, no vinegar, no ketchup. Had the Perch, pond size. All I can say is amazing read more

Erie Belle - a plate of fish and chips with a side salad - Seafood Near Me - Kincardine, Ontario

If I could leave a worse review I would. I just ate here with my family and friends of 14 on August 24. We received the worst service we've ever had. Our server was a male mid 40's with a big attitude. He double ID'd me (26 year old male) and refused to tell me what their draft beers at until I gave him my ID which i had no problem with showing. Then i asked what they had on tap and he said "it's in the book".. He let off a huge sigh when a couple people at our table swapped seats, he tossed down our mints at the end of our visit, my friend ordered the peas and he said "just so you know, they look and taste like baby much just saying." And he had an attitude the whole service. We were honestly shocked at all this and will never visit back. If I were the owner he wouldn't be employed any longer. read more

chips - were horrible - re-fried dried out cardboard, lukewarm coleslaw - couldn't eat both kinds haddock - good but price went from $23 meal to just under $40 meal we go every now and then hoping things have changed and we are always disappointed! read more

Amazing service. Loved our waitress Cassandra. She was awesome and so friendly. The food is good. Forgot to take a pic of the calamari, but that was hella good too. I would definitely come back! read more

I had the seafood platter, the fish was a bit oily but tasty, the scallops, shrimps and squid were good. The service was good too. read more

Had lunch on the Civic holiday during the Kincardine Reunion. My fond memories of the Erie Belle are unfortunately just that - memories. Today's Erie Belle was a dissappointment.The fish was average, fries soggy and service very slow despite not visiting during a peak meal time. The gravy never came despite 3 requests. When the table next to us received theirs it was cold and gelatinous. There is a decent patio - the only reason for the two stars. I would not recommend visiting for anything other than a drink on the patio. read more

Best fish and chips I've ever had? No. But not bad at all for the price point and location, I will definitely be back. Great service and awesome patio. Oddly the side dish choices are all over the place. Hummus, at a fish and chips place? read more

Great pickerel, good fries. The fish is local. Great place to stop for a bite after the beach. The staff were nice and the service was great. read more

Erie Belle - Pickerel, fries, and chips - Seafood Near Me - Kincardine, Ontario

They have a nice outside patio to enjoy a drink and relax. The servers are friendly and attentive. The food wasn't great - the poutine had nice gravy but grated cheddar which was disappointing. One of our party ordered the steak and kidney pie - the meat was so tough it was difficult to eat. Fish and chips was fine. Shepherd's pie was ok as well. read more

I've had two bad experiences in the past year and a half with take out here (oddly eating in is typically very good) and decided to go for a third..... shop local yadaa yadda. We ordered take out on 9 May Shrimp/Fries & Haddock Fries with a side of mushy peas. What came was 2 satchels (good portions) of half cooked, greasy soggy fries. Half cooked fish and mushy peas that were more like uncooked crunchy peas. We called back and to their credit they came right away and delivered 3 more pieces of haddock. That said, I'm. It one to complain much, especially about local restaurants but third time you're out. Advice? Just have a basic quality check of what is coming out of your kitchen. It was totally unfit for consumption. My shadow won't darken that doorstep again. read more

Absolutely wonderful little place by the lake. Excellent food combined with fantastic service. Cassandra was the perfect hostess. We will absolutely be coming back soon! read more

Great location and good food. Fish and Chips (perch) was good but we were a little disappointed in the shrimp tacos. Overall the location and food was good for a quick and easy meal! read more

Went to the Erie Belle restaurant in Kincardine today and it was not very . Service staff was good however it took more than 40 minutes for our order to arrive and the restaurant was only half full.On a Saturday night in July!!!One order of fish tacos was cold and the prices where considerately much higher than before,15/16 dollars for fish & chips is a bit much. Hope the new owners improve quickly read more

At one time... before new owner / management (summer of 2018), this was our family go to restaurant. I have now given them 3 tries. New menu, with less fish selection, no more shrimp plates, and higher pricing. I probably accept higher pricing... but the new menu and quality does not reflect it. Unfortunately it's a cash grab for our summer tourist, what a shame. Michael F. read more

Nice outdoor patio, friendly service. Beef in steak and kidney pie was too try to eat. The poutine was made with grated cheddar instead of curds. Fried fish was good. Freshly made tartar sauces instead of plastic packets would have been better. Good if you are just looking for a place to hang out for a drink, but wouldn't recommend the food. read more

I love coming here, the food and atmosphere are great. The food especially the fish n chips are amazing the cod is perfectly cooked and the fires are beautiful made. read more

Sorry other reviewers but I have to disagree. This was the only place that seemed to be open on a wet Sunday pm. It's was ok and just that. Things went south when we asked if the crab was real to be told it was fake. Oooch. The fish and chips were bland and the batter waaaay too greasy. And the Tetley's tasted flat. And nearly $90 for f&c for 3 peeps. Give it a pass. read more

Excellent fish and chips and other traditional English pub fare (like mushy peas!!!). The service is friendly and the nautical decor is, in this rare instance, legitimate. One of our regular "must stops" in Kincardine. read more

Disappointing food. Fish didn't sit well in my stomach, and multiple times I have been in the waitress just disappears and never comes back to check on you - especially if you sit on the patio. Decor looks awesome and the view of the lake is nice, but I would not recommend eating here especially considering it isn't the cheapest place around. read more

Awesome pub fare; great place for a bite and a pint!

Good place for fish and chips. Don't go if you are expecting some fancy joint. They have a variety of fish (cod, haddock, perch) and it is fried just how it should be. Greasy. Fries are crispy and tasty too. We went on a Friday evening and it was packed! Crowd cleared out around 7. I'd go back for the great fish and chips. read more

Got a take out order of fish and chips on the weekend. Fish good. Fries were woody. Cut some potatoes and search the Internet on how to deep fry at French Fry. Like holy. They were brutal. We threw out a bowl full. read more

We had great fish and chips here. I had the perch and my wife had the sole. Great view, fast and friendly service. The lunch special was reasonably priced. Smithwicks beer on tap. read more

Food good, I got food to go, they left out items and when I got to hotel and called them, they could not figure out to reimbusre me. Very disappointed read more

Will start off by saying one star is too much! .Wouldn't ever return if this was the only place open! ! .Was not my first choice but apparently Sunday night in July there are not very many options. So you would think a pub near the water should be good. Well let me tell you. For starters. We walked in 8pm not very busy. Staff all standing around! Counted 4 of them. No one greeted us should have been the first clue to turn around and walk out. But give them a chance. Sign says please wait doesn't say wait more than 5 mins but ok first time here! Let me say it's the last time. Finally someone approached us. Even then wasn't very welcoming. Brought us to a table that was wedge up against the bar stools very akward. Another customer tried to sit at the bar and felt so akward he moved outside to the patio. So the food had big expectations close to the water and you would think that the name says it all !..My wife ordered the fish and chips which again you would think you can't go wrong! .But honestly was horrible. Try some myself. Way overcooked and dry. I ordered the steak and kidney pie which again you would think would be good. The pastry was all soggy and meat was very tough and dry. Potato inside wasn't cooked. Our server seemed out of it . Never checked back with us to offer a drink refill or check how everything was. Food was absolutely gross wouldn't feed to a dog! .Definitely total waste of money. Gave me gut rot! .Would never recommend this place or ever return! .They honestly don't even deserve 1 star!.. read more

Ordered their deluxe platter, was more like a deluxe tease. Came with 2 peices of shrimp, 1 scallop, 2 peices of fish and a ton of fries and salad. Used to go here growing up first time being there in over 5 years. Very disappointing read more

Not our favorite place in town! Fish only ok and rather expensive for what you get. They do have a nice outside patio.

Filthy!!!!!!!! The four of us ate inside. I wish we cancelled our order immediately after it was placed because it only got worse. Should have left a tip for the server and left (Server was so kind). Cons - Flies everywhere! Often a few crawling on you at once and buzzing in your face - The dessert/drink menu was so old that the metal corners were rusted and black mold was visibly growing behind the plastic on the paper - The vinegar jar was completely covered in hardened tartar sauce - Large, grey, rotten, rubbery mystery chunk about the size of a nickel found in the coleslaw (looked like rotten fish skin). This was far beyond what you would find in a bag of mixed greens. Was told after "it was fine and just a piece of onion". Either way not sure why that would end up there or why one would chop up a rotten onion? - One chair had to be wiped off because it was filthy - All drink glasses has a strange gritty, poorly rinsed film stuck on the outside - Surprisingly the female washroom looked clean but smelled like sewage - Men's washroom sink was "out of order" and instead a jar of hand sanitizer was placed in the sink as a subtle indication. No sign or warning of this or an invitation to use another sink if needed. The food was ok. Fish was a little soggy but still edible. Kids meal ($7.99) was a very small portion. Three tiny chicken nuggets and a small portion of fries (drink and dessert also included which we skipped). Dishes are old in appearance but this being a concern is subjective. Gagged down the food, the accumulation of the above made for a very unappetizing experience. Over $50 later we left with much regret and frustration. The kindness of the server was the only thing that kept us there. Huge let down! read more
