It's been about 7 years since I've visited this restaurant, and when I had done so at that time, the food was terrific. Our visit there on this occasion was part of a "leap back out" into the life my mother once knew before my step-fathers passing 2 years ago and to say the food has taken a drastic downturn from my last visit would be the understatement of the century. My mother, son and myself all ordered the 2 piece fish and chips, (Haddock) which they cut into 4 pieces prior to breading it. The meal comes with fries and a scoop of coleslaw. The fries were slightly undercooked and were done so in oil that was too old to even crisp the smallest cut of potato, the gravy was good however and the coleslaw was actually quite enjoyable. The Haddock though..... At $20.99 the portion is large however, it lacked flavour completely, some garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper goes a long way in a batter but this was devoid of any type of spices and didn't even come with a slice of lemon. My 3rd piece had some flavour to it, sadly it was not a good flavour and I passed on that and my 4th. None of the other meals had this experience with any of their fish pieces so we can safely assume it's not common and not bad storage. My mother ordered stuffed mushrooms and enjoyed them thoroughly, my son and I shared an order of Calamari, which comes with the tiny babies for further enjoyment. I was extremely unimpressed with the preparedness of that Calamari, it had an extremely strong taste to it, indicating they did not wash the meat before breading it, nor did they bathe it in ice water prior to breading. The baby octopus not only had a much stronger flavour, they also tasted like they hadn't been squeezed prior to breading either. They could benefit from lowering the temperature of their drink cooler by 2 or 3 degrees, especially with how prone this area is to the heat index caused by humidity. This restaurant is not wheelchair accessible which is quite perturbing to me, not only with the Accessible Ontarians Disability Act but with how long they've been in business and serving this community and it's seasonal visitor's they should have made the necessary upgrades for this by now, which would also alleviate that insane 3-inch drop just inside the door.

The poutine was on point as well 👌 the service was great and very friendly plus they gave me plenty of condiments 😃 I'd definitely recommend stopping in if you're in the area its worth the drive 🤤🤤🤤💣🔥💣🔥👋

We had such an awesome lunch date. I've been coming here since my son's age and it hasn't changed a bit! It's a welcoming, home cooked, friendly restaurant and it's still the normal prices it should be rather then paying the gross prices other restaurant's charge these days. As a none seafood eater, this is THE only place I will eat fish from. Their Halibut is perfect! A must go to place while passing through Hastings! :):)

My husband and my neighbour's love this place. They love the Charbroiled flavor of the burgers and the large portion of fish and chips. Personally I thought the charbroil flavor gave me heartburn and the burger contained a mega ton of salt. I cannot eat fish and the restaurant smelled really strong of fish and oil. The service was excellent and they had really amazing detailed Christmas Village display. Photos below.

Best breakfast in town. You definitely get a decent amount of food for your money when compared to what the majority of other places give you. The staff if very friendly and accommodating. The food did not take overly long to arrive and was delicious. For the amount of food you are served they could certainly drop their prices though as nearly $20 per person (including tip) it just silly.
