Painted Post Fish - Scarborough

These guys are the best by far from anywhere I have tried Fish Chips. I truly don't go anywhere else now to get my craving of Fish Chips. LOVE THEM!!

Painted Post Fish Chips date visited : February 26, 2018 This was our first time at Painted Post Fish Chips after how many years of just passing by. Wife and I were the mood for fish and chips, and since it was a Monday, St. Andrews Fish and Chips happen to be closed. So luckily enough we decided to stop in to Painted Post. The decor is rather spartan, but don't let that dissuade you from trying the fish and chips at this Scarborough gem. Service : 3/5 at the time of our visit only 2 people on staff. Language could be a slight barrier, I found the lady behind the counter a little difficult to comprehend. Food : 4/5 Now to the food. We ordered the 3 person Haddock Family pack, which includes : 6 pieces of Haddock, a double order of chips and either coleslaw or beef gravy for 21.49 before taxes, along with a greek salad. Now since I manage gout, had to skip out on the beef gravy and opted for the cole slaw, which my wife was interested in. Myself can't touch the coleslaw either due to the cabbage gout. Dropped 1 point due to non creamy coleslaw along with use of tartar sauce packets. Coleslaw : you may wish to skip this or inquire about substitution for maybe more chips, it wasn't the creamy variety and apparently to my wife's palate little heavy on the white vinegar. She only finished half of it..she left the other half behind. She prefers her coleslaw on the creamier side. Haddock (6 pieces : these were awesome for both of us! The batter wasn't too heavy at all, and not greasy (which we usually prefer the less greasy when it comes to fish n chips and anything else fried . Glad we ordered the 3 person family pack, it was just enough chips for us and we had 2 pieces of haddock left over for take home, which was my lunch the following day : Chips : 2 orders worth, cut on the chunkier side and NOT FROZEN :D Greek Salad : we thoroghly enjoyed the greek salad, really generous on the feta cheese and for 2.95 (pre tax it was nicely portioned Now they also have other dishes available other than Fish n Chips. They also have burgers, pork and chicken souvlaki, scallop n chips, shrimp n chips, onion rings and calamari. Value For Money Spent I would say this is a “good bang for your buck” type of resto. For individual foodies visting here I would say this falls into the single (as per yelp rating . Normally for our couples budget we have a range from 15.00 30.00 CAD and this falls nicely within that even for the 3 person Haddock Family pack. 3 person Halibut family pack less of value, since you'll end up with only 3 pieces of Halibut, but I think the actual portion size ittself may be larger. May have to try that out at a later date and verify the portion size for the Halibut. Worth visting again? Yes most definitely. Curious on their portioning of individual order of Halibut/Haddock/Cod/Shrimp/Scallop chips. Payment : as of our visit here, cash and debit are accepted along with credit card.

Fantastic local eating experience. Generous portions of delicious, crispy fish and freshly fried fries. Not too oily, plenty of sauce. The restaurant was always very clean, the staff was very friendly and I could see they work very hard to make each meal come out perfect. I've never been disappointed. Makes me crave fish and chips every time I drive by the area!

Food was good. Came here on a whim and the food was done freshly on front of us. We ate in, uncomfortable seats and wobbly tables so I wouldn't recommend eating in 7 less you really want your food to be that fresh.

Wow. i have came be two years ago and i was disappointed by the look inside the restaurant. BUT Recently i've been around the place and thought i gave it a try one more time. and it turns out that it is now under new management and they have renovated the place, its not as dirty as before. FOOD WAS AMAZING and its a small restaurant but i like to support small biznesss
