I am currently still feeling nauseous after their haddock and fries . It was just greasy and the onion rings were really greasy - and it's pretty pricey too! I know it's deep fried - but doesn't mean it needs to be greasy with a bad taste! The staff were rude and the Manager at this place was so unprofessional.... More

Good Friday @ this dump! Service was unorganized with phone order customers having preference despite paying customers waiting longer for their orders. The front counter cashier messed up my order and overcharged me. The girl who prepared my order asked if I wanted condiments. I said "sure" which typically means YES! She didn't include the condiments. Overall a horrible experience... More

Not sure why, but their fish can often be greasy. Portions are good. I think the key is to go in on a fish and chip day, (Friday) early when fat is hot and there are not too many fish cooking.

We order take out fish and chips from here about once a month. The food is always ready within 20 minutes after placing the order and the quality is consistent. We usually order the haddock and it is very good. They have a fish platter, which has large shrimp and scallops along with the fish, it is delicious. It is... More

The best fish and chips anywhere in Niagara. The place isn't very fancy, but who cares when the food is that good!

I've tried the halibut and haddock many times and both are great. Not to greasy, batter is crisp and light. Halibut seems to got smaller over the years: (. Cheese balls are a good app too. Washroom on the other side of the kitchen Is weird, so stick to takeout.

We travel to St. Catharines every Labor Day weekend, and my parents arrive there for the entire week beforehand. We always order takeout at the Fryin' Guys at least twice during our visit, and my parents order it several additional times. It is delicious! I love their English-style batter, which is SO difficult to find here in the U.S. The... More

We love fish and chips and try them in whatever town we're traveling through. These are by far the best anywhere in the province. Would recommend them to anyone.

We live nearby and love to eat here. There is some very good competition in the area but they rise to the occasion. This is the best fish in the area, not cheap but high quality. There are several fish types to choose from so you can vary what you order. I think we have only gotten take out here... More

Fry'in Guys offers up the best traditional fish and chips I've ever had...in Canada. The Haddock and Halibut are both outstanding and their English style batter is second to none. Always trying to keep up with trends, they have recently added to their menu an array of home prepared salads and the crab dumplings are fantastic. Owner Lori and her... More
