Cozy little restaurant that serves fish and chips. Really convenient and close to the water/locks. Met with friendly staff and service. Had their 2 piece halibut and requested the poutine as the side. Halibut was good. A little greasy but we went right at noon when it was opening. Still the batter was light and crispy and the poutine was melty, gooey with plenty of gravy. No issues when asking for plenty of tartar sauce. Point to mention, restrooms are in the basement so might not be easily accessible for those who have mobility issues. read more

Great service. Quality of food was good; however, we were a bit disappointed with the overall quality of the halibut. Breading was good but not exceptional, and the flavour wasn't as I had hoped--rather flat and tasteless. Live music was really great. read more

Favourite place for really good food, reasonably priced, great service and even been lucky enough to have live entertainment during our meal! read more

Simply said...they are the best. The food is matchless in flavour, the servers are matchless in friendly and the menu is matchless in variety of choice. If you want an excellent meal with excellent service and at more than reasonable cost, this is the place. read more

Went there tonight with my 17 month old that was just diagnosed with celiac disease, they were very helpful and accommodating. Matt told us about the many options they have for Gluten-free, food was delicious! It's nice to have Gluten-free take out or dine in options in a small town. Thank you for an amazing meal read more

Passed by and decided to try this place out. I'm a big sucker for a good pun, and with this place I had to try the halibut. Took the order to go and we sat by the water to eat lunch! Overall good meal. Fish was moist and crispy. read more

Cute spot with great food! Nice to have halibut as an option for fish and chips! Server was friendly and very efficient.

We had a lovely dinner, served to us by Tara! The portions are huge so I'm glad I only had one portion of the haddock. Very yummy!

Love this place. Been coming for 20 years and so happy it's open during all of this COVID stuff. Eating on the patio is great but PLEASE do something about the bees and flies. We have eaten 4 or 5 times on the patio and again I love it and if I could give 6 stars out of 5 I would do it but maybe get rid of all the flower boxes surrounding the patio or spray for bees and flies but when we have 6 or more bees circuiting all our drinks and 10-20 flies on our table it's just not right. read more

We were staying nearby at Fenelon Falls and decided to stop by the town of Bobcaygeon for lunch before our long road trip. If you're looking for the same decor as a Texas roadhouse, you've found the right place. The interior is decorated with guns, bull horns, you name it... The interior is surprisingly deep. We had a hard time getting seated because the waitresses were serving customers in the back. We wanted a small lunch, so we ordered the 1-piece haddock and chips ($9.50) and the shrimp bake ($8.50). We were disappointed with the size of the shrimp bake. It looked deep, but was instead cooked on top of a tall escargot dish. What you're getting is 6 shrimps covered in cheese. The haddock and chips were pretty good. The batter was light and crispy. The fish inside was flaky, mostly juicy, with some areas that were dry. We actually had better (and cheaper) fish and chips in Fenelon Falls the previous day. Service was attentive. read more

Service was great and the fish and chips was delicious. You get your monies worth. Not sure if new owners but place has been refreshed and very nice. Looking forward to next visit. read more

Just for the Halibut as seen on @yougottaeathere . Bobcaygeon Gem! Of course I had to order the Halibut which was fried to perfection The one piece served with chips & coleslaw was more than enough food for me ($13.99 market price.) We also had the crab cakes which I personally didn't enjoy but my SIL orders them every time. My only wish is that they made their own tartar sauce, but after 40 years I'm sure they won't be switching it up anytime soon. The family run restaurant staff were super friendly, they went above and beyond to ensure everyone was happy (including serving us small plate of fries straight away for the unhappy little one at our table.) Highly recommend! read more

A locals spot in cottage country! My family lives in BC so this is an every time I visit place for a reliable meal. Is it gourmet? No. Is it the best meal I've ever had? No. But it is small town Canada on a plate. Service is always consistent and they are BUSY!! read more

Best fish and chips I've had in years. Had the Haddock filet and the batter was super light and very tasty. Also had the Key Lime pie for dessert, amazing! Also the service was great. Can't believe we've had our cottage up here for a few years and never been here. We will be back. read more

I had the halibut and chips and the fish was very good. What bothers me though is the micro portion of coleslaw. It was literally 2 fork fulls. And they served tarter sauce in prepackaged packs. Really a place like this can't make there own tarter sauce??? It's very disappointing to shell out $23.00 for fish and get pre packaged condiments especially if you seated in their restaurant, it's just not right. On the good side the service was excellent and the place was charming read more

Good quality fish & chips, if you are in the area. The fish was tasty & a good value lunch for our small group. Quality community restaurant without too much flash in menu choices & atmosphere. read more

We've been customers of this location for years. This evening we brought a couple of friends along. The service was terrific, especially given the shortage of staff Not sure if it's the lack of cooking staff or some other change but the food was very disappointing. The fries were overdone and the batter much too thick and greasy. Hope they can pull it together. read more

Not sure what all the hype and where the good reviews come from? We asked many locals and read the reviews and expected a great meal, but we were very disappointed. Before I get into it let me say the service was very good and if it wasn't for them I would give this place one star. It was also a hot evening and the AC did not cool the place, I was sweating my _ _ _ off. We had an order of clam chowder and it was a terrible mess, lots of potatoes with a gooey roux and no clams or any type of seafood. It was like a thick gooey potato paste with little flavour. We also had an order of muscles which was nothing more than a bunch of muscles cooked with a slab of butter, and little flavour except for the muscle juice mixed in with the butter. So far nothing impressive and trending towards disappointing. One of our orders of grilled halibut was raw and cold to the point of being frozen in the center when it came to the table. So this place uses frozen fish, not fresh. It was made right immediately, but serving raw fish in a seafood restaurant is inexcusable. So in the end we were not impressed and very disappointed that we wasted one of our vacation meals on this place. read more

My husband and I stopped by for dinner last night. It was extremely busy but we were sat right away! The service was amazing and the food was to die for!! The waitress was very friendly, our dood came pretty quick and she made sure we were happy on numerous occasions. We had the coconut shrimp to start. They were delicious! We both had the halibut and chips, the portios were perfect, the breading was perfect (not too thick or soggy at all!) And the gravy was perfect! We loved it here and will definitely be back!! Thanks again!! read more

I love this place great food great owner best place in town to eat. Just wish it was over looking the lake

I am very disappointed in this restaurant. I have been going here for a very long time. I was up there the other day and thought I missed having it. Staff are the same, same lady I have seen for over 20 years. I gave up fried food. So I got a BLT with chicken. When it arrived no chicken fine I'll eat it. I had the first and only piece way too much grease. Fine I take it home for my husband. Bill comes unfortunately I didn't see it until after we left. But the change me for BLT with chicken not a plan one. $11.00. The family I was with we're also disappointed. The quality of food has gone downhill a lot. read more

Precious gems are rare and hard to find! Found this place on Yelp and info provided was accurate and helpful even allowing me to message the place and make reservations on a day when they were closed. The online menu was impressive with a lot of good choices. We arrived today and parked right in front FREE! The place is very pretty and quaint, inside was extremely well decorated and clean, (we were in the cleaning business and notice these things) I order the seniors steak and the wife ordered shrimp in a basket. WOW! Steak was great, fries were the best we have had, inside was as soft as mashed and the outside crispy so when you bite you'll hear a crunch. We now wish we lived in Bobcaygeon as we would go there a lot, as it is we will visit once in a while. Waitress was efficient, pleasant and not over bearing. Superb to find this gem. read more

Nice decor. Very friendly staff. She was very attentive. I had the cheese shrimp to start and the husband had breaded mushrooms. I was a little disappointed with the shrimp. There just wasn't enough of them but the sauce was delicious and the mushrooms were home breaded. For the meal the husband had the bacon cheddar burger and a pulled pork poutine. Both with great and big serving. I had the lobster / crab cakes and the seafood chowder. The crab cakes were great flavour but they were mush. No solid meats pieces. And the chowder which claims was a secret recipe is left over vegetables and a very bland. I added vinegar, hot sauce, salt and pepper and it was okay after that. The price was great and generally enjoyed it. We will go again! read more

Best restaurant in Bobcaygeon. Not just for fish and chips. I think they do everything very well. For as mobbed as they get the service is excellent. The owner is a very nice guy and he works the room like a rockstar. I was wearing my bowler so he gave me an Original J 4 Halibut white ball cap. Very nice and in NO way influenced my Woohoo review. read more

Amazing food, always. The mussels will make the most sceptical seafood eaters love it!

Good food I've always gotten takeout sometimes it's a hit, sometimes a miss. Have gotten poutines, a burger, and fish and chips. They didn't give the mushy peas we ordered which was disappointing.. and once they gave our poutine to someone else and they ended up chasing them to come back and switch the order. Lol. read more

One of the best family owned restaurants in our small town . Always busy but little wait times . Great service with an exceptional line of house and local brews.! Staff is amazing and always goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Great portions . Good prices . read more

Stopped in for lunch while in Bobcaygeon today. Had a nice Greek salad topped with a small-ish but excellent piece of grilled salmon. Friendly service, good food and - this was a most pleasant surprise - a GREAT selection of craft beer on tap! They had offerings from Muskoka Brewery, Mill Street, Railway City, etc. WooHoo! read more

We really like this fish and chips place! Been around forever!! Lots of craft beers. Right in the heart of downtown

The best fish and chips and seafood around! It's a little on the pricey side, but totally worth it. The calamari is a must try. It's very tender and not at all chewy. There isn't a single thing I've had from their menu that I didn't like. They also have an amazing selection of craft beer. read more

I loved the fish and chips and they had an amazing selection but very disappointed with the coconut cream pie. The pastry was great the filling was fantastic but it was not cream on top it was "whipped topping" yuck. read more

Great halibut at reasonable price. Not a fan of fake ketchup brand and tartar sauce in package seems a bit cheaper and doesn't taste great.

I've been here twice and enjoyed both my visits. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. The first time I went, the staff had brought the wrong order and when I informed her that she brought the wrong thing, she was very polite and apologetic. Also their ice tea is delicious. read more

On August 7th 2016 my husband and I decided to get takeout from here..we ordered two 1piece halibut dinners $10.50 each and a lg greek salad..took it home , opened it up and omg..the pieces of fish were so small and completely dried out..fries were limp and cold..so disappointed...the only good thing was the greek salad..very good! I won't be going back here or recommending it to anyone I know. read more

Six of us stopped here for lunch on a Thursday a couple weeks ago while on a houseboat vacation. The place was highly recommended at the marina and a pleasant walk from the lock. The server was very friendly and well-paced. The decor was a bit drab. The food was only so-so. The crab and lobster cakes had a strong sour taste. The rest of the food was mediocre. Would not recommend. read more

Packed even on a wed. Need a reservation. Halibut is $18.99 market price today. Lots of seniors! Location is messed up in yelp. Wouldn't let me checkin. Doesn't seem to be in bobcaygeon. read more
