Ordered clams and fries. Don’t let the appearance stop you, it has been here for a long time and it shows. Two visits this year first visits in over 30 years. Neither meal disappointed. Nice light batter on clams. If you like fried clams, John’s...Lunch is well worth your visit.More

We all had the fish and chips which were generous portions with homecut fries and coleslaw. We all enjoyed tremendously! Picnic tables outside

After 15 years of waiting to go I was deeply disappointed in the food. It was very greasy . The fish inside the batter was good though. I had the Calamari and it was so greasy and fishy tasting not enjoyable at all and the...batter fell off it and was in a grease pile in the take out container. I spent $110 in a cab to get there and will never eat there again:((More

Good fish and chips. Very large pieces of fish. A little disappointed, the tartar sauce wasn’t home made. I will say hard to imagine being hungry enough to eat a three piece fish meal. While very good, the fish was, for my taste, a little...heavy on the batter. I have eaten the clams and chips here a few times and they are always great.More

Stopped by for a take out pizza after going to the old car cruise in next door. Pizza was hot & very tasty- better than most!

After reading the other reviews and I was really excited to try this local restaurant. I wanted good, fresh fish and chips on a quick trip to the East Coast. Unfortunately the take away was very disappointing. I get that it is difficult to serve...food piping hot with take out, but not only was the fish and chips room temperature, the chips were undercooked and tasted like raw potatoes. The fish was okay, a nice large block, but overcooked and dry. The final disappointment, both orders arrived with no tartar sauce. Tartar sauce was not listed as an extra on the menu, so why wasn’t it included? Hoping I just got a bad night, but I won’t bother trying again on future trips, there are too many wonderful restaurants in Halifax/Dartmouth to waste another meal here.More

Great diner with the best deep fried seafood you’ll ever have. The clams are to die for. Large portions, expect to pay $30/person. A staple of Dartmouth. Everyone should go.

There's a reason this place has been so popular for so many years. We stopped here during our recent visit to the area for dinner. My wife had the fish and chips, which she said were excellent. I had the clubhouse platter, which was also...very good. Decent prices, friendly staff and always good quality. Right now they are only offering take out service, so my wife and I just ended up eating in our car. A really awesome restaurant where you can get some excellent diner food.More

Came here based on a local's recomendation who raved about this place. Was also inspired to eat here after seeing that it had been voted best fish and chips several times. Weirdly, I didn't find the food to be anything special, as it was comparable...to what I can find in countless other places. Maybe I was having an off day, given that many people have positive views of this eatery. However, my experience was that the food was average.More

Without a doubt, the best fish and chips ever !!!! The haddock tips were out of this world also !!!!

I visited here with my husband and 4-year-old. My husband and I shared the seafood platter with scallops, haddock tips & shrimp. Everything was delicious. My daughter had the haddock tips kid's meal and loved it. You could easily order the kid's meal and be...plenty full! We sat at the restaurant on a picnic table outside. The food was awesome and really reasonably priced. I recommend.More

Been five years since my first visit and no disappointments this visit. My wife and I had the Sea Food Platter and it was a beauty to dive into! So fresh! Staff were terrific and called out the walk up window to make sure all...was good with our order! I even got a Johns Lunch mug to take back to Ontario with me!! Look forward to another visit someday!More
