I heard about this place on the radio for a long time and decided to catch up with a friend here and 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. read more

High Street Fish and Chips - fish Chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - North York, Ontario

I will NEVER EVER come back to this place again. After 2 horrible 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. read more

Food is consistently delicious and the portions are huge. The price low while the service is friendly and very efficient. The general vibe is one of laid back relaxation and welcoming. The owner always takes time to talk to my father in law when we go in. We absolutely love this place! read more

I told my friends that I wanted to try some authentic fish and chips. They did not disappoint. The seating and neighborhood comfortable. The staff is pleasant and attentive. The fish is light, fresh and flaky. The fries are not so heavy as to leave one feeling like a stuffed toad. Just a pleasant treat for sure. read more

High Street Fish and Chips - This was the Full Mounty order of fish & chips. - Fish & Chips Near Me - North York, Ontario

This is a solid fish and chips place in a strip mall near Lawrence and the DVP. Great ambiance and they definitely have the authentic English style happening. For those if you familiar, you can even get a pint, mushy peas and bread and butter for a chip butty. We've had the haddock and cod. Both excellent. Light batter, very crispy and they have malt vinegar on the table. Lots of free parking. Note that it can get busy here too, especially on holidays. read more

Have had lunch here many times and find the place pricey and so so service . Now go to the halibut house for my dose of fish and chips .

A group of friends and I like to have dinner every Thursday and try out local eats. Last week it was decided we'd try out high street. Though we at first planned to eat in, we ran a bit late and decided to do takeout instead as they were closing in 30 minutes. First off, it's located in this small plaza just north east of The DVP and Lawrence. It has plenty of parking and is easy to find. It's decently sized with plenty of tables and the staff is super friendly. Food: Off we drove with 3 bags of food as we ordered the summer picnic for 4 - 4 haddock and chips, 2 large coleslaws, 4 pops, house made shortbread cookies and 2 extra orders of onion things (yep that's what they're called), pickled onions and beef gravy. Food was well wrapped and portions were pretty big for the price. We each got 2 pieces of fish and lots of fries in our meals. The fish was tasty though a tad more oily than we expected. The batter also lost some of its crispiness in transit but I suspect it would've tasted better eating in. The onion things were interesting. Lots more batter than I was expecting though. Coleslaw was excellent and the pickled onions had an interesting hint of curry flavour which was nice. Overall the food was good but still can't beat my favourite place - Olde Yorke. The benefit is High Street is closer to home and would be a great option for sit-in dining when you're craving fish n chips. Big portions and pretty decent taste. I'd come back to try in-person. read more

Fast service, nice people behind the counter, tasty fish and not expensive! I will definitely eat there again.

The French Fries used to be fresh potatoes , now seem to be frozen out of a bag. They have shrunk the plate and the Fries are so bland and ordinary like other fast food joints. The Haddock was not good this week although cheaper than Halibut. I may just find another place to have F and C.... read more

What really surprised me about High Street was how not oily everything was despite everything being deep fried. It's obvious they use good ingredients and take time with their prep. The flesh of the haddock was not too firm, not too soft, with good subtle fish flavour. I wish they salted their fries, and I wish the tartar sauce had more tang to it. But this is still a very solid fish and chips place! read more

This is a great spot. We went over long weekend and they had things under control with a more limited menu. Family really enjoyed the food as takeout. We got the haddock, halibut, shrimp and onion on a stick. The fav was halibut and onion. Can't go wrong with those. read more

The Halibut has lots of meat, made to perfection. I never had it so good. My father and I only get Fish and Chips here only.

Walking into High Street Fish and Chips on this Saturday for an early dinner made me wondering if I am in Toronto anymore... I stood out like a sore thumb walking in to have my dinner alone and as Asian in a sea of mature English diners Halibut with Chips ($12.95) - the batter is really light and deep fried to perfect crispiness! Golden crispy... really fresh frying oil!! - yes it is oily... hey it is deep fried in oil but it is worth the extra calories! and deep frying fish is not as bad as chicken with skin in term of fat content - Chips are not bad.. but quite standard... at least they are fresh, made to order!! Services here were fast and friendly! The deco is mostly white and super cute! Seems like the meat pies are their specialities.. either fresh or frozen to be sell alone or as a dozen! By the time I was ready to leave, there was a line up for tables!! And it was only 6 PM, I guess people have dinner early here! :P Closed Sundays and Mondays! read more

Ai do as the lassies do here at the High Street and order ye fish & chips or their home made pot pies, and as the Scots all sey, be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead. One of the few true places to get Scottish food aside from the old MacDonalds, you can get haggis and some black pudding here. But tis true, Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight; Red sky in the morning, Shepherds Warning and to marry is to halve your rights and double your duties. At least here at High Street you can reduce some of yer duties and let them cook fer yer lassie. I had me some Chip and Chicken Pot pie, and it was quite lovely. They've got a variety of meat pies, and a variety of fish to choose from. Can't say I'm a true deep fried fish connoisseur but everything looked decently battered, and nicely golden. I found their chips a tad on the soggy end for my liking, but it was acceptable. No I didn't try the Haggis or Blood Pudding, but maybe that'll have to be a future UYE, with a swoosh of alcohol and a bit of truth or dare. I'm not sure how high you can get from High Street, but you're not going to mistake it for crack alley or ho highway, but if you've got a hankering for the fry in this neighbourhood, this be the place says I. Twelve highlanders and a bagpipe make a rebellion. Little wit o' the head gives the feet much to do. read more

Took a half day and brought the in laws to High Street for some British fare. The streak and mushroom pie was rich and flavourful. The crust was firm and crispy and the beef was so incredibly tender. The haddock was deep fried golden bliss supernaturally crispy without an oily or heavy feel to it. Potato scones were nice and fluffy. Will be a repeat visitor for sure. 4 stars read more

After years of 4/5 star food and service, sadly have to leave a 1 star. We placed a sizeable take out order (as usual) and got home to find a long dark long hair in the cod & chips dinner. Called the restaurant to advise and said I have a picture if they wanted me to send it somewhere. The reply was " I'm very sorry about that" followed by dead air, nothing further. I said "is that it?" Reply was "did you want me to do something it?" My reply, "that's typically what happens but don't worry about it I just won't come there again". Can't help but wonder if I was eating in the restaurant if that would have been the same reply? Very disappointed after many years. These things happen, but how you handle and respond to these things is what makes the difference between good and bad customer service. read more

Always the best for me. It's either Haddock or Cod, crispy fresh and massive. Keep coming back here.

The fish and chips are just meh to a little above average. The batter was crispy and stuck onto the fish very well which is hard for some places to do. I ordered the Halibut and found the portion to be quite small. Maybe it was just my order but I found my fish to be a little dry when cutting it up. The fries tasted cheap like it came in a bulk package. I ordered onion rings which turned out to be more like onion peels. If you love onions, then the onion rings is a must get. It comes 6-7 peels of onion on a stick/skewer that is battered and deep fried. The coleslaw was kind of creamy and just meh. The service was horrible here. After I walked in, I had to wait a whole 3 minute for someone to greet me or acknowledge I was there. It could've been because I went during the lunch rush that the ladies seem a bit flustered with everything. I had to ask for a refill of water and ask for bread and ask for them to take my order. For the price I paid, I rather go somewhere else. I won't be coming back here anymore. read more

Found this place by chance on Yelp and I'm really glad I tried it! They have some of the best halibut fish & chips I've ever tasted, really flaky and not slimy like what you usually get at other places. I tried my boyfriend's steak & ale pie...tasty tender beef chunks and really good pie crust. The only thing I didn't enjoy as much were the tattie scones (basically fried mashed potato triangles) which I substituted in place of fries. They were bland in comparison to everything else and lacked potato flavour. I also wish the portion of tartar sauce was just a bit bigger. Although the booths are a tight squeeze for four adults, the atmosphere is really cute and cozy and everything is neat and tidy. Edit: I think the menu said we were supposed to get bread with our meal but we never did... read more

This place is great for fish and chips. My family lives in the area and we come here as often as possible. The hours are the only reason we can't get there as much as we want.

Had a go at this fish and chips. Looked good, quite busy and had and interesting selection. Two things on the menu stood out. Premium Alaskan Halibut and some sort of surprise fish. We had halibut and chips with a side of gravy. The fish was tasty the coating nice and crispy! Now.. the chips. I'm abit confused, biting into them it was firm but dry on the inside. It was odd. Do I not know french fries? It was just off? I did notice 5 fries all stuck together. I tried my wife's fries and they were better not great. I don't understand it. We also ordered the home brewed unsweetened ice tea. Look at the picture. So light you might as well call it the low cal ice tea. It was like my water. I told our waitress... and you'll never guess the answer! "...this is unsweetened". The couple beside us had the same dish and was asked if they wanted bread. I was surprised to find that ours didn't arrive and the waitress never asked. Another person came to clear our dishes and I enquired about the bread and she said that you should have asked or they should ask you. The menu clearly states that each dish comes with bread. ...people reading this review. I don't want to rate a resturant poorly because I got poor customer (no apology/yes the extremely weak ice tea was charged) but more on my overall experience. Sadly enough the rating should be high but it's only the fish that made me smile. Just get the halibut and eat at home. read more

Can someone explain the open hours of operation of this place??? It's closed Sunday, Monday AND Tuesday, and opens only from 4 pm to 8 pm the other 4 days of the week. COVID hours for sure. In terms of the Fish & Chips it's average at very expensive. I live pretty close to this place and it would have had a lot more of my business if their wasn't some sort of entitlement about it that I can't quite put my finger on. Recently I ordered a Large piece of Halibut and Chips for $28.30 and my said we got ripped off after eating it. read more

We were visiting from the USA and my mom who lives here wanted fish and chips. Took my mom to High Street Fish and Chips yesterday after reading Yelp reviews. The food was excellent and the service was even better. Kim was our server. She was very kind to my mother and made some dinner suggestions that were great. Bottom line, I would highly recommend this place, the food and service are great. read more

WHAT? This place is awesome. The best halibut and chips in the city I have tried yet, and I've lived in Toronto for over 30 years(staff is also super friendly and deserve a raise no matter how much they're making) . This is the spot, no matter what part of the city you live in, it's worth a visit for sure. Not sure why they close so early, but I think 9pm or 10pm would be more acceptable even for the family crowd who like to eat a little later on weekends. Still, the food is so amazing and fresh, I still give this place FIVE STARS ALL DAY, SON! ***** read more

If you are looking for a traditional Scottish fish & chips, then High Street is the place for you. The restaurant is situated on a quiet street in a small shopping plaza. The interior of the restaurant is super cute and very clean. Both the staff and customers are older, and everyone seems really nice and professional. They offer a few different types of fish but I always ordered the "mystery" one when I ate meat. The side options are fries, creamy coleslaw, mushy peas, and onion things. Aside from fish & chips, High Street also sell a few types of meat pies and fish cakes. We've tried a few meat pies and they're pretty good except I am not a fan of the cold ones but that may just be personal preference. I definitely recommend eating in as the fries do get soggy when you get take out. read more

If you want really good fish and chips, then High Street is the place for you. High Street is a small but brightly decorated restaurant where almost all the local people flock too, especially if you're from the British Isles. High Street is more that the average fish and chip place, they have so much more to offer, hence the name High Street Fish, Chips and... Come here and try something different, perhaps a Melton Mowbray (pork pie), or have the tatty scones instead of chips or one of the delicious meat pies. If dessert is you thing, then I highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding. I think I've said enough, get out here and try it for yourself, but come early because they close a 8pm. read more

Have been to Highstreet several times over the past few years. Fish and chips have always been good as has the service. On my last visit they had Mahi Mahi which I loved! Overall still one of the better and consistently good fish and chip joints in the city. Establishment clean and well kept. My only slight disappointment this time was the price increase across the board. read more

Reviewers were right... this is the best place i have ever been to for fish n chips. Batter was right, fries were good and most important, the fish was big. You do get a very generous size fish when you order haddock n chips. The size of the fish is like a size 7 in shoes size. Can't really think of another way to describe it at the moment. Chips are more than enough as well. The only thing missing is a side of coleslaw. I always thought fish n chips would come with coleslaw but this place didn't. It did come with bread and butter. We also ordered the clam strips. Nothin really exciting here. Not bad and not great. Price for two dinners came out to be $24. Will i come back... yes. If in the area, would definitely come back. read more

Wasn't anything to drive for again. The service was decent but food was a bit too greasy. Portions were too big to finish and the fish was fresh. Best part of the meal is the pie! read more

Took my mother, mother-in-law, wife and 16 year old son. Went "early" at 5:45 on a Saturday and there was already a line up - but it moved quickly. I grew up in this neighbourhood and it seems that the people around my parents age love this place. Food was good, waitress a little funny steering us certain ways (We have Guinness, but not on tap. And not the good cans with the widget, just the bottle...) but at least she was honest! Food was very good and satisfied all ages. read more

Excellent fish place. Went there last night for the first time. Good pricing, good serving size, excellent tartar sauce. Area to improve: service- I had to ask for someone to take order, had to ask for bread, and had to ask for a water refill. read more

I went the first week they opened, lived nearby everything was always great.Thought they were the best since Duckworth s. The Mcnies owned it. Wife always friendly, I was at least a once a week regular. Moved and hadn't been for a while (3 years) Went last Friday it was OK but not quite the same. I asked the server and was told the original owners had sold. Before it would be worth a drive I thought it used to be 5 stars now just 3. I live in the west end now. So Kingsway Fish and chips is my go to spot now. read more
