Driving through my home town, I noticed a large new restaurant called the Halibut House right at Yonge and Edward. I love some good fish and chips... so brought the entire family there on Saturday night.
We arrived just before 6pm... so were a little surprised when we found most of the restaurant unoccupied. (well.. new business and all).
The kids each had an order of kids fish and chips... a nice peice of halibut with kids size portion of fries. The kids loved it (such is normally true for anything fried or that has breading).
I ordered a big combo with halibut, shrimps, scallops, fries and salad. My wife just got the breaded shrimp with fries.
The portions were big... quality was sort of in the middle. I've definitely had better fish and chips... but there was nothing wrong here either.
This is definitely fast food fish and chips. Staff were very nice and friendly. The physical restaurant is sort of hard to explain... it reminds me of a diner that I used to go to in cottage country.,. almost like a cafeteria.
The price tag for the four us was just over 50 bucks... seems a little up there for fast food. But fish and chips is never cheap in my experience.
I wouldn't likely go back with the whole family.
BUT something caught my eye... Tuesday nights... AYCE Fish and Chips for under 11 dollars. Wait.. What?
NOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DEAL. So, I will be coming back on a Tuesday night for the AYCE festivities. You can't beat 11 bucks for what will likely be 5 or 6 peices of fish by the time I am done, plus a mountain of fries.
Stay tuned for the results of the AYCE night...
