Halibut House Fish and Chips — Restaurant in Kawartha Lakes

Well, I have to say I was disappointed! My daughter was down visiting me and we decided we wanted fish and chips for dinner, I'd heard great things about the Halibut House so we decided to give it a try. I ordered two halibut dinners to go, the bill was $32.00 and change.

When I went in to pick up our order I realized there was only one box in the bag and I asked the young lady where the second dinner was. It seemed she misunderstood and thought I only wanted 2 pieces of halibut and chips. Wow, $32.00 for two pieces of fish and chips!

Then she offered to get me a second order of chips and since my daughter was sitting in the car waiting I decided to go that route so we could get going. More fun and confusion, she told me she would have to charge me an extra $2.00 for the aditional chips, then she told me sorry, it was $3.00 not $2.00, by the time I finally got my chips it had gone up to $5.00. So, $37.00 and change for two pieces of fish and chips, no coleslaw or lemon. The food was good but not that good and the staff seemed very inexperienced, the one young lady had to get a calculator out to try and figure out change from a $50.00.

So would I go back, probably not, while the food was good I don't feel it's good value for...

I visited this location for the first time the other day, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the haddock special and overall I was very satisfied. The portion size for the price was more than fair and they supply a large bottle of both tartar sauce along with ketchup. The tarter sauce was a nice touch as most fish places you get a tiny portion for a large piece of fish. The restaurant has more of a fast food type of feel which is fine. The restaurant is open and airy and appears to be clean as well. The server was absolutely fantastic. She greeted me right away. Made sure I had a drink fairly quickly and brought out the food as soon as it was done. She checked back to make sure everything was alright which I have found is not as standard practice anymore as it used to be. Overall I would return, in looking at the menu the pricing seems fair overall and the...

I am forced to give it a one in order to post but would not even give this a negative one sadly. We have been a bunch of times over the 3 years that we have lived up here & it has always been great. But tonight was the second time since there was what appears to be a change of ownership, & we will sadly not be back. The fish was so greasy that the bag was coated before even leaving the store. By the time we got home (around the corner) I couldn’t even handle the fish to plate it, it was that greasy, it just broke up into itself. Then once we went to eat it, the fish was not even fully cooked. The fish was mushy & so greasy most of the coating came off while plating. Really sad to lose this once gem 💎😥 in Lindsay. If you go back to your great ways let us know & we will return but like it is now, it will be...
