I had lunch today with Cheryl, at Kingsway Fish and Chips., which is in her 'hood. We both had Halibut & a Few (half the chips), which was good. For dessert, Cheryl had chocolate ice cream and I had an apple pecan crisp. Yum! Our server took good care of us. read more

See all

Superb quality and variety. Fast and friendly service. Love the halibut and shrimp combo with fries. Their coleslaw is good.

I heard that this establishment has been a bastion of fish and chips for 30 years so I had to check it out when the cravings hit. They do not have their own parking lot so try and snipe some city parking on the street. Their specialty is seafood, especially of the battered and fried variety. I was told the fries are very good so even though they had a great option for indecisive folks (Fish, Salad, and a Few - which is a plate with fried fish with the side split between Caesar salad and fries) I got the Classic Fish & Chips. I was starving that day and was assured by my date that the food comes out quick. I'm glad they were right because I was quickly approaching hangry status. The fish is served with a side of tartar sauce and there was vinegar on the table. The fish had a lot of flavour built into the batter without any sauce. I'm not sure if I could have taken down the entire piece of wish without anything to cut the grease. The tartar sauce was tangy and the perfect accompaniment to the fish. I did eventually hit the fish with a squirt of lemon which was also nice. The chips are very good. Had a wonderful crunch to it. Golden brown just like the fish was. I haven't come across a better fish and chips place yet in Toronto or the GTA. Yum! read more

Taking a break from cooking every meal for the last six weeks, we decided to order dinner tonight. The pizza place that we wanted to check out was slammed with orders; fish & chips was our second choice. I have walked by this place many times, but have never had their food. We ordered two halibut & chips with a side of coleslaw and mushed peas. The portion is generous and the food was very tasty. The batter was not too thick and you could really enjoy the fish. Both the fish and fries were light yellow, which is to my liking. I hate when I get deep fried food and it's dark brown. With any fish & chips meal, coleslaw is a must. The coleslaw was tasty and not too heavy so it went very well with the other fried items. Dinner for two cost $45. I enjoyed my meal from here. I can't eat this everyday, but it's a nice break from cooking. Good for: takeout, fish & chips read more

A delish haddock and chips for 17$. . A bit on the pricy side but we regretted not getting more. It was so fresh and perfectly flaky inside. one of the best I've had in a while. Highly recommend. The fries aren't seasoned so dress them yourself. Only thing missing was a lemon wedge and more tartar sauce. . Would get again . Diner vibe and old decor keep it authentic. You could tell there's a lot of regulars that come back too! read more

Kingsway Fish And Chips - Haddock fish and chips - Seafood Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Interior warmly reminds me of 1980's, simple decor. Fish is very good. Like most places, $$$. One of the best on Bloor. read more

OMG $12 for one piece of fish, $20 for 2 OUCH I get it, fish is expensive, I also get Toronto is somewhat expensive, but give me a break $20 for 2 pieces of fish and a side, no thank you ! The fish was not the best we've had in Toronto which knows how to do fish-n-chips. I would give it a 6 on the 10 scale. The place has a great local fish-n-chips feel inside. Service was ok, nothing great. But, you'll go broke eating here more than once a month. To many other fish options in this area, I'll try somewhere else next time. read more

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that they are closed on Sundays, and that's the one day I always seem to be craving this place! But really - they are GREAT here!! Fish isn't greasy tasting at all, it is light and crisp and just delightful. The fries are nothing great, but honestly I douse them in malt vinegar and salt the heck out of them and they are just fine. I love the peas and while I haven't tried the other offerings, I suspect that I wouldn't be let down. I love the decor and coming in here really brings back great memories that I've had in here with my family. I'll just have to force myself to be in the area on days other than Sunday or Monday and I won't be disappointed! If you are a fish n' chip lover, this place should be on your list of must-trys. read more

3.5 stars. The Good - the fish itself was cooked just right - the lobster bisque is decent - our waitress (an older lady) was very nice The Bad - pricey for a neighbourhood family restaurant in Etobicoke (two pieces of halibut & fries is 26 bucks) - taste-wise, the fish was nothing special read more

Good fish, not so great chips. Plus, the onion rings disappointed me (too much onion, very thin soggy batter, and no crispiness). It tasted like I was eating raw onions which, personally, I can't do. We visited on a Friday evening around 7:00 PM, and it was reasonably full. We weren't too hungry so we had one order of fish and chips (the halibut) and a side of onion rings. The fish was delicious but nothing out of the ordinary - fried well and very crispy, with a decent amount of fish. It isn't anything I'd come back for immediately, but it was just fine. The place overall is a bit dated, but is basically the perfectly picture of a traditional, charming diner. Service was friendly. Prices were average. There's street parking available right in front of the restaurant. There are definitely better spots for fish and chips in the west end, but if you're in the area, this isn't the worst spot to find yourself in. Overall, just average. Our order, with tax and tip, came to just around $20.00. read more

My husband and I happened to be in the neighbourhood running errands and popped in for a quick lunch. Truthfully, we were both a tad hungover from a 40th birthday bash the night before, so we craved some greasy food and the small lunch sized menus hit the spot. It's a favourite of locals in the Kingsway, you can tell by the clientele...mostly elderly people. They tried to keep the English theme with teapot decor. Simple and classic. Get the halibut! The staff are super nice and efficient. read more

Kingsway Fish And Chips - Because sometimes you need fish and chips! - Seafood Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Fantastic classic fry basket. The halibut fish and chips was generous and had a perfect ratio of fish to crispy batter. Light, flakey and flavourful, the batter isn't overly greasy and serves as a great balance to the tangy, creamy in-house tartar sauce. Make sure you venture around the menu and try some of the other crispy, crunchy fries treats. The scallops, jumbo shrimp and battered cheese curds (yes, you read that correctly) are must-haves. read more

I have been coming this this place for many years with my kids at it still makes one of the best plates of fish & chips in the city. Great service and prices! read more

Excellent. Asked for crispy. I got crispy. I would eat there again in a heartbeat. The portions were good. A little steep for the halibut but these guys gotta pay bills too. Go support your local restaurant. read more

Had a great dinner at Kingsway Fish and Chips. The halibut and scallops, fish tacos, salad with grilled shrimp and everything down to the coleslaw and chips were delicious. Hot, fresh and tasty! Great service for our large party as well. read more

I think this is one of those spots where you pay for where it is located. On Bloor West it is nestled in the middle of million dollar homes where this fish and chips place clientelle has so much expendable money, they don't mind paying for the convenience of walking from their home to this place. One small piece of fish, a handfull of chips (child size hand), and that it. All that for 14.99$. Sorry, but the atmosphere of the Kingsway isn't worth spending almost 100.00$ for only four pieces of fish for my wife and kids. It's pretty bad when you spend that kind of money and have to come home and have a sandwich because it didn't even fill up my seven year old daughter. Save yourself some money and frustration, find another place for fish and chips. read more

Nice fish and chips. But really... no Greek salad!? They have a mandarin with pecan salad ..but no Greek salad??? Crazy! Pricey and for the money I really do expect some decent thickness in the fish for what they charge you here. But it appears that coating a piece of fish in the city of Toronto with batter has its challenges. So far this is the only decent place around. read more

Having grown up in the east end, I was raised on Duckworth's - definitely one of the best options for fish & chips in the city. Now, living in the West end, I've been in search of the best local equivalent. Kingsway Fish & Chips is definitely comparable! The age, decor, and stellar food are all reminiscent of my favourite place in the east. We ate in, which I don't normally do with fish & chips, but upon arriving, we noticed the decor was clean (albeit dated), the place was busy (a good sign), and the service was friendly and efficient. The staff seemed to genuinely care whether we'd enjoyed our meal, and were attentive throughout too. The fish batter is fluffy and crispy and delicious (but as far as greasiness goes, this is high up in the rankings!). The chips were also fresh, nicely well-done and tasty. A bonus: pop refills seem to be free! I think that now that I've settled in the west end, this will now be my go-to for a good fish & chip meal. read more

This place is OK. I think New Toronto Fish and Chips is better because they have larger portions and the halibut is consistently juicy - as well the price is lower at New Toronto. However, I do understand that the rent is probably quite expensive at Kingsway Fish and Chips since it is right beside Royal York subway. The fish and chips is pretty good at Kingsway. The one thing that really iffed me was that my husband and I are in our 20s, and we were discriminated against by our much older waitress. She was very short with us, and kept saying she couldn't hear us (lack of hearing aid much?), then would go and chat up the older patrons in the restaurant. Not only did this waitress favour older customers, the only time she took out to talk to us when she wanted to shoo us out of the restaurant. Oh well - I think the young owner at the front was great though, she asked us how our experience was and obviously because I am so passive-aggressive we said it was good. read more

When I have to work around this area, I definetly make sure I take time out during my break to grab a taste of fish and chips. So far this is the only place in the GTA I think, that makes amazing fish and chips. I've been to quite a few and this one definetly stands out. I believe that it is a family owned restaurant that has won so many awards for its fish and chips. When you take a look at the walls in the restaurant all you see are plaques of best fish and chips from 2000 to the present date. The place is consistently full of customers, majority consisting of families and older people. During lunch time it is very hard to get a seat and on friday's you might as well call ahead to pick up your order unless you have alot of time and patience to wait for a seat and or for take out. The food is very good. The batter that they use is very well done, not to salty and very light, not like other places where you're eating mostly batter. There are a few choices to choose from you can have fish, either haddock or halibut, shrimp and scallops. The fries here remind me of swiss-chalet fries. They also have onion rings as well which are huge, kind of reminds me of a blooming onion you would get at ribfest. Lastly their bowl of clam chowder, mmmmm, now I was never a fan of clam chowder before but after tasting this one, I am officially hooked. Items to definetly get - fish and chips (haddock) - onion rings - clam chowder read more

Hands down my favourite fish and chips joint in the gta, from the great customer service to the impeccable food, not to mention the cleanliness of the restaurant overall. Really impressed with this restaurant and quite honestly wouldn't go anywhere else....definitely a 5 star in my books read more

Delicious halibut! Very friendly service! Downside: - The fries are soggy and not really crispy at all. - The place has a very odd odour that is quite unpleasant read more

Very delicious fish and chips restaurant with all the traditional favourites. We came in here for lunch and I ordered the lunch haddock with fries and coleslaw which included a drink of choice (I went for the coffee). I also ordered a side of mushy peas. Everything was yummy. The chips were crispy and the tartar sauce was really good. The prices are very affordable, especially their lunch specials. The service is beyond friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back. Such a great lunch experience! read more

My favorite in the west end. I usually get Halibut and a few (smaller portion of chips) Always great service and staff whether eat in or take out I've had shrimps and scallops in a combo with halibut Apple crisp dessert is nice Lineups Friday but moves quickly In the east end High Street fave read more

If you have any Brit or Irish blood in you at all, fish and chips is something you shouldn't mess with. Kingsway has been doing it right since they opened their doors. Whether you're looking for a Scottish meat pie, Irn Bru, or the delicacy of halibut and chips - you'll never go wrong at this fish shop. The service is rapid and friendly. The food always fresh and hot - made to order and no heat lamps. The ambiance is typical of a fish and chip shop - you'll love the teapot collection. It is a bit on the pricey side. There's no denying that, but it's better than any other fish shop in Toronto's west district. Forget what they say about McNees. They don't hold a candle to Kingsway. read more

First time here and did pick up for the family. Staff were great with questions. I had the fish and chips. The fish was great but the fries were slightly undercooked but still good. Bonus points for having malt vinegar. Will definitely be back to try again. read more

Some of the best fish and chips in the west end can be found here. Even though they have a reasonably big dining area, Kingsway Fish & Chips does a pretty brisk business in take-out, and there's space to hang around while waiting for your order. In fact, most of the time I'm here, I get it to go--somehow fish and chips is just better unwrapped out of greasy newspaper than off a plate. The only downside is that there's always a bit of a wait, since it's quite popular. Kingsway Fish & Chips is right in the middle of their fiftieth anniversary, so they have extra specials and giveaways on right now through mid-September. Yeah, I'm starting to sound like a bad commercial, but they're definitely worth a visit. read more

Great neighbourhood spot. Friendly and fun. The fish and chips are a great feed and the pies look great. I had a Cajun grilled halibut that was lightly spiced and perfectly grilled. Good timing on the food and really fantastic service. read more

Excellent Fish and Chip resto. They have been there decades, they know what they are doing. Fresh Fish, supper batter, fresh fries, and cole slaw made on-site. You will spend a little more than other places, but you will leave satisfied and well-treated. Great place for families and kids. Service has always been friendly and professional. Take out and eat-in. read more

Awesome Fish and Chips. One of the best, great for families and always quick and efficient. We just dropped in with our kids the other night after a busy long day and found things a little greasier than usual. I also find the washrooms in the basement have always smelled awful. Even my kids hold their noses whenever we go down to use them. It's odd because the restaurant area is always so clean. Even the stainless steel in the kitchen area is super shiny all the time. Unfortunately I am writing this after an experience which left my husband and I feeling that we won't take our money there for a little while. We left after an average experience and I discovered that my keys were missing when I got home. I knew they must be on the floor under the table where we were sitting as my coat had fallen under there. Hubby went back to check and they were waving him away as they had closed. Even the server who we had just given a good tip to was not letting him in. He is very recognizable. Finally someone came and he said he thought my keys were there. They claimed they hadn't found them and reluctantly let him go look himself. Surprise, my keys were under the table after all! read more

Why oh why do people rave about this place? Why does the media use it for Good Friday filler? It is overpriced. The fish is undercooked. The chips are way overcooked; I was told the chips were fresh/not frozen, and I did not see any evidence of this, especially in the taste and consistency (they were tasteless and grainy). Over half were inedible. The portions are small. I was charged $1 for a tiny side of mayo (and wasn't told this would be extra). The menu is inconsistent and confusing (Full size, half size or "a few" are not accordingly described, provided or priced). The atmosphere/ambiance is strongly convalescent home bordering on funereal. The service (three staff that interacted with me) was perfunctory. FYI, it is a sit-down restaurant and not diner-style; perhaps they feel this allows for the over-pricing. read more

Went here for Good Friday and it was PACKED -- and for good reason!!! Finally fish and chips that aren't greasy or heavy! Delicious good quality halibut in a light, not greasy, breading and good ol French fries. Had the apple pecan tart for dessert too and damn it was yummy. Good service and good food -- will definitely be back! read more

Kingsway is the go to spot in Toronto for Fish n Chips in my opinion. It is by far my favourite fish n chip spot, I've been going for years now and I highly reccomend it. The breading on the chips is unbeatable with a perfect golden flakey goodness. The halibut they serve is also top notch. Fries are of course amazing, take-out is served in newspaper which is of course necessary. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very home timey and service has always been great in my opinion. Don't be fooled, if you are looking for Fish n Chips GO HERE! You won't be dissapointed I promise. read more

Okay. Fish got smaller over years though

Excellent fish and chips. I was here a few years ago and didn't think it was that great but today (and it was super busy with Good Friday crowd) they impressed me. First off there was fast, efficient and friendly service from the start. My dining companion and I both had halibut and chips which is the staple here and one of my all time favourite fish varieties. The batter was thin to medium and super crispy and the chips were a crispy golden brown- both perfected with malt vinegar! For 13.99 at today's prices and $5.50 for an imported beer, I was pleased by the price and quality - great value! read more

i LOVE fish&chips. And this is my fave place. It's been around forever and the decor inside doesn't hide that (either does the sea of white hair). The service is simple and friendly, but miore importantly, the food is delicious! They must change the oil on a regular basis because, the fish batter is light tasting. I also think they use different oil for both the fish and fries - which I don't think all places do. The prices are reasonable and the tarter sauce is great. I would recommend this restaurant for families! read more

Nice fresh fish and chips. Service was good too. The only issue was a vinegary smell in the resto. read more

Food was great and so was the price. The only problem was they don't have pictures on the menu. I would definetly eat there again.

The best fish and chips I've ever had in my life great speedy service wish there was more salad selections though and reasonable pricing. read more
