Captain Jack's Restaurant — Restaurant in Guelph

I popped in here since I was pining for some fish and chips, and I will say I was pleasantly surprised.

The atmosphere feels a bit stark with very little personality - but it was very comfortable and welcoming. I wasnt sure if it was a sit down restaurant or a takeout place, but the gentlemen who was there said I could sit. The menu had quite a lot of options, but I did go with the creamy chowder and the one piece beer battered haddock and chips. I was even offered a complimentary coffee! (Which was SUPER good. Definitely recommend.)

The chowder was a bit to be desired, and had a shrimp shell in it and the potatoes weren't cooked through enough. The fish and chips though - MY GOD THE FISH AND CHIPS. Best fries I've had with my fish in a while. Wholley recommend getting the haddock.

The malt vinegar did come in the individual packets which threw me off but it wasnt a huge problem.

Overall I was extremely satisfied, and he even gave me a coupon for 10% off my next visit. Definitely...

Had been here once before the change in ownership and was so happy to have delicious gluten free fish and chips. Unfortunately I should have gone more often because it’s kind of terrible now. Small portion of soft, potato-y fries and fish that lacked any kind of crisp. Tartar sauce is okay but it used to be amazing. Just overall decrease in quality. The old decor was kind of insane but the new space has gone too far in the other direction, lacking any kind of theme or interest and just really beige. Things like quesadillas and burgers that I don’t remember being on the old menu which makes it feel like the new management is in it for the investment without a personal tie or experience to fish and chips. Super...

The fish and chips were delicious, the batter was perfect and just really enhanced the flavour of the fish. The bartered mushrooms had a nice flavour though there was a lot of grease in them. Fries were absolutely to die for. Service was super friendly. Only reasons I only gave it four stars were: -the Mac and Cheese bites were made with KD and it was like 7.95 for like 6 bites. To me, I don’t think it’s worth it when it’s Kraft Dinner and the taste was just not great. -the coconut shrimp had barely any coconut and it just wasn’t great.

We’ll definitely be ordering from here again because the fish and chips speaks for itself, though I don’t think we’d order the other...
