| - Chippy's in Queen West = the dirtiest food establishment handling raw seafood in plain eyesight that I have EVER come across. It is unbelievable how they get through inspections. I mean, come on, folks, look around. Just take a peek at the top of the refrigerator, or the range hood. This is a public health disaster waiting to happen. You are dealing with fresh fish, guys!
Some of the reviews mention this is a 'hipster place'. Now is this what a place looks like where 'hipsters' like to eat? Is it maybe part of the attraction even? Is it cool to have dodged food poisoning? Kind of a "I dare you to eat this - man, you are so chill, you really did it', thing?
For my part, I don't get it.
Nevertheless, I risked my life and had fish and chips and they were not bad (not that I ever had fish and chips anywhere else). A little greasy but I ate the whole thing including the Tartar sauce.
I have to agree with some of the other reviewers about the staff being exceptionally devoid of communication skills. Customer service is almost as low a priority as cleanliness is. Perhaps this is part of the 'hipster' thing too, how knew? To not say a word to your customer? Barely notice you? You, who pays to keep this dump afloat?
I can see myself going to this place at 3 am in the morning, fully loaded, and stuff my face with grease before passing out at home; I cannot see myself returning below the legal limit.
