“Good GF Option, Often Less Good Customer Service”

Restaurant details
Reviewed November 18, 2016

I love having the option of getting gluten free fish and chips or gluten free chicken nuggets on my home from work.

I've never had the food be bad, the fries like others have mentioned could be crispier, and sure the prices can be higher but we all know to expect that when it comes to gluten free.

What drives me nuts is the customer service. Every year for Good Friday I order massive amounts of fish and chips from a regular place and then need a portion or two that's gluten free for myself. Recently the restaurant has stopped taking call ahead order, I was told due to some people not picking up their food. So rather than show up and wait 20 minutes then go home, it's easier for me to not place the order and cobble together something at home.

Alternatively, a Good Friday in the past I went in first thing and none of the fryers were going, nothing was being made and I was told I couldn't place an order because they were too busy. I tried calling in later and the phone wasn't picked up, figuring it was busy I went back in, in person and was told they weren't picking up the phone and I should have tried earlier because they were too busy.

Been craving fish and chips since going gluten free but have not had the opportunity until today. I was happy to see a good selection of gluten free options not just fish and chips. It was very tasty. My only complaint is I would have like my fries cooked a little longer. Otherwise delicious.

Had the cod and onion rings here (yeah, not much of a fry guy anymore). Cod was very good, great batter, two pieces, but small. The onion rings were disappointing in size; only had seven onion rings, and small in size. This place used to do big giant rings, what happened to those?

Good food, but for what we paid, can go to Churchill's Fish and Chips in Oshawa and get almost double the portions for only a fraction more of the price.

Having not had fish and chips (and onion rings) in a long time (9 years +) Schooner Fish and Chips is the place to go. Very friendly staff, excellent prices, big portions and the list goes on and on. It is really nice to have such attentive staff to ensure that every aspect of your meal is perfect before leaving.

It's also really nice to eat real fish, with real potatoes for fries and real chicken meat for their chicken fingers.

Not many seats, however most of the service is take-out. A must visit if you're around the East end of Oshawa.

We have eaten here quit a few times because you can not tell the difference between gf and not..they have gf onion rings and gravy and tartar sauce. They are very careful and serious about food prep. For those with gluten allergy craving normal food choices will enjoy this place.
