Finally, fish and chips are back in Stouffville!…read more I've been to Joy's Fish & Chips a few times since they opened mid-2024. I've eaten in and taken out, both of which were mostly positive experiences. The service is consistently friendly and pleasant to interact with. It feels like everyone genuinely enjoys working here, which is a big difference maker. The only minor issue is when dining in. In the first few months of being open I find that the restaurant is often packed and service can be a bit slow (as of December 2024). Other than that, service has been fantastic. As I mentioned earlier, the restaurant often seems busy if you're dining in. However, since I live so close I prefer to take out. As of now they don't have any delivery services but if you're willing to pick up for yourself they're pretty quick. I've had big orders that's I've called in and told it would be ready in 20 min. When I go to the restaurant and order (a smaller order) it's only usually about 10-15 minutes even when the restaurant is packed. The food is very, very good! The fish is battered and cooked to order, which you can see for yourself from the takeout counter. It has a delicious crispy batter while the fish stays moist. The fries (chips) are nice and thick and perfectly fried. My only minor complaint is that the fries need more salt. But that's something I can add myself. I've also tried their scallops and shrimp. Both are really good but not quite the same level of their fish. While I don't know if they're battered to order, they're still juice and fried perfectly. Worth trying! Lastly, I just wanted to mention parking. They have a few parking spots to the right of the building, which is perfect for takeout since the takeout entrance on the right side of the building. They have a few parking spots in front and then also quite a spots to the left of the building. Plenty of parking! Overall, I'm super happy Joy's Fish & Chips! I've been going fairly regularly and I've only had great experiences.

Review My wife and I…read morehave been wanting to visit the Puffin for some time, after attending Sunday night's Jig Dinner event I can honestly say it was well worth the wait. The restaurant is small, but it also works because of the intimate setting and is comfortable. Parking Though there is not a lot of spots available, there is enough if you arrive early, the staff was supportive in helping us find a spot, so despite what some other reviewers might say, the parking is adequate. Seating We both found the seating comfortable and spacious. The seats are comfortable which is important especially when you start to get invested in the entertainment that was provided during the dinner. Cleanliness This might be where my only complaint will be, the restaurant itself is clean, it smells fresh and has a very homey feeling which is very refreshing. I found that while waiting for dinner it was nice to look at some of the pictures and novelties that are the Newfoundland culture. What I didn't like though was the state of the washroom. The toilet seat was broken and one of the nobs on the tap faucet was missing. Entertainment I cannot say enough positive things about how talented, sociable both John Prince and Donny Wood are. If you do not get caught up with the music, you need to check your pulse. I cannot remember the last time I had so much fun during a dinner engagement. Staff First let me say, from the moment we arrived until the time we left, the staff and owners were attentive to us, very friendly (including come out to our car to let us know they are opening the door for seating). You can tell this team works well together and they enjoy and is appreciative of the community that supports them. Food This is where the Puffin really shines, the portion they serve you is well above average, you will not leave hungry, and the turkey, beef and vegetables are cooked to perfection. Leaving the restaurant, we felt full, and enjoyed every bite. Overall Definitely worth the trip, tasty food, good times, and an experience you will not want to forget. The team was on par, friendly and sociable. The entertainment was a five star experience and the food made you feel it was time for a trip to Newfoundland to enjoy the culture. Other than the facilities (which let me be clear is clean) I would rank this as one of the best experiences I have had in some time. I give this a strong 4.5/5

But after so many times doing takeout it only happened once, so not bad at all. Halibut: 4.75/5 crispy and then soft inside. Yum.

Never will peas taste that good. Chips: 5/5 Great chips! And excellent gravy to accompany. Onion rings: 4.5/5 Pretty good! Sometimes the batter is a little consistent but they are good overall. Highly recommend!

Finding a good fish & chips spot can be tricky at times when you think about balancing price,…read moreportion size, the batter, and the chips. This spot did a pretty good job overall. The batter wasn't too thick, greasy, or salty, and the fish filet was thick enough that it retained its structure when eating (instead of becoming a flaky mess). Chips were decent, but not the standout for me. Even their seniors portion size of fish & chips is quite filling. I also really enjoyed the seafood chowder, though it was on the saltier side. Shocked at how large the bowl of chowder was for the price, and they did not skimp out on the ingredients. No one wants a chowder that's 80% roux/cream base and 20% veggies with canned or frozen seafood mixed in. Be forewarned that finding parking on Main St Newmarket can be challenging during events and busier times/seasons!

January 9/2025: Lunch with Val…read more This was a really good lunch at the F&C spot. It's chef/server owned so maybe consider supporting your locals. I have the Halibut & Chips ($14.99). Generous serving size as well as perfectly fried French fries. Meal came with delicious coleslaw & we had a gravy on the side. All of it very tasty! It's a small restaurant but has a great feel to it. Authentic is how I'd describe it. I think this is a do-over.

The service here is pretty good too, especially given that it's a quick service place. The only downside is the tartar sauce which was mostly mayo with not much pickles or herbs.

For a little over a year now Fry Days has been run by new owners, and I'm happy to say that things…read morehave definitely taken a turn for the better. The last few years things had been hit and miss here, but after a few transitional pains (service was slow for a bit back in 2020 as the staff got used to how things worked), things are running smoothly, and it's now by far my favourite food truck. I've tried many of the things on the menu, but I'll review those I've had multiple times. Tied for my favourites are the fish and the poutine. Not exactly sure what they're frying in, but the fish batter is spectacular, and doesn't leave the greasy feeling on the roof of your mouth that some other places do. I usually go with the haddock, but the halibut is great too. As for the poutine: while the gravy is a little darker than traditional poutine gravy, it really tasty. What really makes it are the fries and the cheese curds. The fries are cut fresh, and are really tasty. And they sure don't skimp on the cheese curds. Unlike some other places, there's no need to wonder if you'll have enough curds and gravy to go around. The burger is homemade and tasty. Doesn't come with a toasted bun though, so be sure to ask if you like yours toasted. I also love the dill pickle chips. With so many chip trucks in York region, one needs to be pretty special to keep me coming back regularly. Whatever they're doing here is working though, and I find myself here a lot during the summer. Keep up the great work!
