Great food. Friendly service and a quiet patio to eat on! We also got a few local recommendations for dessert! Don't sleep on the cod, it's wonderful. read more

It's an old well kept building that's must be close to 80 years. There charm is all over it. You walk in and they have fresh flowers at every table. The ambience is great. Servers are very friendly and the food is great. Fish and chips aren't greasy or watery like other places we've visited. Fries are crispy. Grab the takeout and take it to the beach read more

Of all the fish and chips places in White Rock, this one is the best! The fish is done perfectly and the potatoes are fresh and crisp without grease. Friendly cook and servers seem to know that this family-run restaurant is a cut above the other options in the vicinity, but they don't brag about it. They are by far the best option on the beach. Definitely recommend giving Montgomery's a try. read more

Best fish and chips I've had. I came in on a rainy Saturday. I was the only one in there and chatted with the chef. Super nice and friendly guy. The restaurant was cute and clean. This will be my go to for fish and chips from now on. Super light batter on the fish and the chips were nice and crisp. read more

Best on the beach!! Try the deep fried dill pickle!! Yummy no oily fish or chips in this cozy place. My family always eats here. Staff are friendly. Keep up the excellent work guys!! Footnote time to open on Sunday morning is WRONG on the site it is 11:30 not 11:00. Jade read more

This is a cozy hole in the wall where many regulars dine here and it is highly recommended by local shop proprietors. Montgomery's is family owned and the servers are friendly and attentive. I ordered the 2 piece cod and chips and chocolate milkshake. To cut down on plastic, cardboard straws are being used! My shake was very thick, chocolatey, without being too sweet. The fish was lightly battered and flaky on the inside and fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Truly a stellar lunch! read more

I've been coming here for 68 years and it always has been and still is the best fish and chips on the West coast. Sean and his staff are wonderful and make it feel like you are at a family dinner. read more

Best fish and chips... hand down. My family eats here every trip back to Vancouver and use to eat here for 40 years prior. Fish is fresh with a perfect deep fry.. no hard coating. Chips are always cooked to perfection...no bottom of fryer here. Coleslaw is perfect with fish and chips. This place has been here forever and so don't expect fancy decor. That is part of the charm with the same pics and hockey stick on the wall. Will be back next year for my fish and chip fix read more

So sunny and busy on Sunday noon at White rock. We spent over 20 mins to look for parking, and busy for all the fish & chips places. We didn't want to wait for an hour at Moby Dick, that's why we pick Montgomery's Cottage to try. It was great!! The waitress was so friendly. Fabulous food!! Halibut + yam fries + old fashioned milk shakes. read more

We love stopping here when we are on vacation. Great service and good portions! We had the cod + fries and fried pickles. Ask for tarter sauce (not packaged) and sit outside & enjoy the sunshine. read more

Ive tried them all on White Rocks water front and hands down this is the best place for halibut (not a cod eater) and chips. The batter is light and crispy as are the home fries. The halibut fresh and firm. On a rainy day you can sit inside, the large mirror makes the place bigger, brighter and reflects the view. Occasional train going by entertains the kids. I stop by and then eat at one of the picnic tables on the waterside of the tracks, ask for a box to make carry your food easier. Theres tables out front and on the side and you can have a beer if you like. Open all summer and on nice sunny days in the fall and winter. If you're driving down in the off season phone just to make sure their open. The counter staff always friendly and courteous. If its busy could take some time but for me always worth it. Make parking easy and trouble free by using the paybyphone app. read more

Decent food, nothing to write home about. BUT - Service was incredible, Give that Alberta College shirt wearing lady a MASSIVE pay rise, so friendly compared to every other place on the "Strip" (We went to 4 or 5 places before hand - who all gave us about as much welcome as a poop on your shoe). Thank you! read more

Headed to Vancouver and originally planned on stopping in Blaine but decided to try a place in Canada instead and was not disappointed. Literally the best fish and chips I've ever had!! read more

This place is SO flippn cute and cozy, the owner hand cuts the fish, and for people who are watching their weight, he can also GRILL YOUR FISH Best fish and chips hands down. I hate super oily/greasy and cake like deep fried batter, but Montgomery's is light and SO tasty. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This is the ONLY fish and chips you should go to at White Rock. Consistently excellent for the TEN years I've been going here. Everywhere else changes owners, cuts corners and disappoints. Only Montgom's stays top notch every season. - superb fish in light, crispy batter - great selection of fresh fish that they cook perfectly - addictive and authentic chips - not fries I've been other places over past two years because Montgom's used to be closed Mondays. Others are so bad I have resolved to never eat fish and chips on Mondays and never go anywhere except Montgomery's. read more

So disappointing, certainly was just an okay fish and chip place. Had a take-out 1 piece cod, asked during the time of ordering "Does Tartar sauce come with it? The Server replied "yes". At time to pick up , I asked "Is the tartar sauce inside?" She then pointed to the Sysco 'House Recipe' packages of sauce on the counter beside the ketchup and vinegar. No lemon either. First and last time customer. Will not recommend. Nothing exceptional about the food. read more

I was not having a good White Rock day. I call it a WR day 'cause I'm never in WR. I loved our little walk at the beach but once we got to Marine Drive, it was like being trapped in a busy tourist town with nowhere to park. We were hungry. It was a fish and chips day again. We ended up here just because it was the first fish and chips place we passed. There was a small outdoor seating area. We wanted to be outside 'cause it was a nice day. That idea didn't last long, the outdoor table we mentally reserved as we were ordering at the window disappeared on us. Alright...so trying something new, I went for the scallops and chips. I asked the girl at the window what she would recommend, shrimp, oysters, or scallop and she said scallops. 8 pieces of scallops and chips for $14.95. The scallops were the size of multivitamins. Ok, maybe pieces of elephant snot. Honestly though, they were the size of mini (emphasis on mini) marshmallows with deep fried coating that didn't appear or taste freshly made. The coating that comes on frozen fried foods was the kind of coating that was on these scallops. This person was not happy. I was also not happy with the yam fries. Apparently the cod and chips were decent. We bought ourselves some ice cream to help us forget about the fish and chip experience. On the way back to the car, a bird pooed on me. I was just happy none of it got on the ice cream. read more

My favourite fish ' n ' chips place on the east strip. Batter is crispy and not overdone. Fish is wonderful; I usually get the salmon as I love the flavour. Seating inside is tight but the outside has expanded since they widened the sidewalk. Great for quieter visits while listening to waves and seagulls (which don't come in to attack you). Have been here 10 times or so. The beer is not cheap but I don't need it anyway. Take out service available and usually open 30-60 minutes later than eat-in. Call ahead to find out if they're staying open ! Service always friendly and quick. read more

My daughter and I ended up here after the place we were trying to go for lunch was unexpectedly closed. We're vegetarian so our options are fairly limited at all the fish and chip places. We ordered the deep fried pickles and yam fries. The Pickles were great. So tasty. The yam fries were good. We didn't try any of the mayo dips with them as eating a completely deep fried lunch was enough fat for my digestion. Pros- the staff was very friendly. The pickles were great. Cons- the place looked dirty/dingy. May be attributed to all the deep frying? I was afraid to let my purse touch the floor. The prices were a little high (which I know is attributed to being on the beach in White Rock). Overall it was okay. I would order the pickles again. Maybe they could offer a deep fried tofu?? read more

Love the cod and halibut. Sometimes they give extra pieces. Prices are a bit steep but hey, it's fish n chips at White Rock! The tartar sauce they make in house is the bomb. But sometimes the staff don't want to give you any of the house made tartar for free... That's a shame. Usually staff are friendly but it's odd that we have to pay extra for better tartar. Don't get the fried scallops either. They're super small... Try the different Montgomery's at Lonsdale Quay for better fried scallops. read more

The best fish n'chips in White Rock. Hands down better quality than the others. Get extra home made tartar sauce and try the deep fried pickles. read more

For being all fried food, it was great. We had deep-fried pickles for an appetizer (sliced into six planks and fried), fish & chips (cod), and a deep-fried Mars bar. The server, Kandy, was friendly, attentive and so good with the kids. The food was a bit expensive for being all fried good - approx $80 for two adults (1-pc and a 2-pc cod fish & chips) and two kid meals, a fried pickle, and one fried dessert shared. read more

I've lived in white rock for over 40 years and I've tried all of the restaurants. We continually come back to Montgomery's as it's the best fish & chips. The bonus is that the lines are not usually as big as some of the others. read more

The facts say the restaurant doesn't take reservations, but it most certainly does! In fact, you often need them, as the five quaint tables inside often fill up fast!!! Call 604.536.7779 to make sure you get a spot! Fish and fries are both fried in 100% canola oil (but separate friers, so the chips are gluten friendly. You can get your fish grilled too!) and the fish - cod, halibut or salmon, is all cut fresh every day. The potatoes are done on a hand held cutter in the back, just like the good old days! Try the deep-friend dill pickles with their homemade dill ranch sauce. To die for! read more

Hands down the best fish and chips in White Rock. Generous portions, fresh fish, crispy fries, and fast friendly service! We paid for 40 minutes on the meter at lunch time and had time to leisurely order and eat and get back to the car before the meter expired. Kitchen and restaurant are older but clean and "authentic". read more

We live in south surrey and have never gone to Montgomery's before. We decided to try it on a sunny busy holiday Monday. We were expecting it to be closed Ike several of the other restaurants on the strip but it was open Kandy was the greatest waitress we ever had in a long time. We tried the deep fried pickles and they were great. My son had a custom made hotdog and my daughter had the cod and chips. My husband and I had the halibut. It was all very nice and hot. Montgomery's turned our day around after not feeling wanted at 3 other local restaurants we felt welcomed and valued here. I highly recommend it read more

I come here all the time... Its a family business that takes care of its customers... I met the Dad and son before, super nice ppl... I used to drive from Delta to come here, now Im glad I've moved to White Rock cuz' I'll be here much more often. The food is amazing, great fish, great burgers... didn't expect them to serve beer, but Im all up for that... read more

pretty dissapointed , ordered the halibut and fries , did not get halibut .. as an ex commercial halibut fisher it was easy to tell ..was cod , i was already home and did not want to take back .. fries were crap , like the end of frier.. a bunch of crispy little tasteless pieces , saw the big "best fish on white rock award " but that was not done by the kids they bring in for the summer obviously .. waste of $25 .. for crappy old cod /pollock read more

This is by far the best for fish and chips........have been going there forever and have never been disappointed. The Montgomery family are great, always friendly.......they get to know their customers and always greet you with a smile. Good homemade tartar sauce, yummy deep-fied pickles...........all in all, our favourite place for fish and chips. We tried another place recently a few doors west because Cottage Lunch was closed...........never again. Our family and friends love this place !! read more
