| - *PRICES HAVE INCREASED*
Came here one Sunday to fulfill a fish and chips craving. I have never been but have driven by numerous times and was always curious.
Dated diner feel inside, with wood paneling on the walls and a bit dank and dim. Don't expect anything fancy. Not too big but we were able to get one of the last two empty tables around noon on a Sunday without a wait.
Reasons for only two stars:
1) Price - ridiculous. One piece fish and chips is $19. Two pieces is $35! This is insane for a diner meal. Yes, the portion is quite big (mainly fries tho, the piece of fish is large, but not large enough to warrant the price). I wish they would slim down on the hefty fry portion and then slim down the price with it. Although it was good (good. not great) (also - fries were overcooked and not hot) and gave me my fix was definitely NOT worth $19.
2) Tartar Sauce - if you advertise as a fish and chips joint and charge insane prices for said fish and chips, at least serve some proper tartar sauce. Doesn't need to be 'house-made' but get a pre-made tub of good stuff like other restos do. Instead they serve those nasty solo packets that you would get in a food court setting which imo is the nastiest tartar sauce out there. But for real - if you are charging me $19 for one piece of fish and chips, you better compliment it with proper tartar sauce...
3) DON'T SIT NEAR THE BACK!!! - we learned this the hard way. Aside from it being very cold in the back, it is also right beside the back door, which is also the door to the washroom. And every. single. bloody. time. someone exits or enters you have a nice huge whiff of OUTHOUSE stank. Smells like musty sewer and the smell is overwhelming. How can I enjoy my overpriced $19 fish and chips with crappy tartar sauce while smelling and almost tasting TOILET& SEWAGE. Believe me. it's tough.
4) Service - tbh it wasn't terrible and they were friendly enough considering it IS a diner. But it lacked in a lot of ways. When we entered, instead of smiling at us or guiding us to a table or simply telling us to 'take a seat anywhere' the waitress who was holding a broom and sweeping just looked at us annoyed and asked us to move, as she wanted to sweep where we were standing. Not sure what to do we sat ourselves at one of the two last remaining empty tables which was covered in droplets of milk. We then waited 15+ minutes to even get a menu. We encountered the same wait time when trying to get a container for the leftovers and the bill. Yes, it is a diner. But if your 1 piece fish and chips served with fake tartar sauce and a side of bathroom is $19, I think you can up your service just a tad.
Overall, food is decent, prices are crazy, and seeing that we live in a city filled with great food choices, I would pass on this place.
