“ Went here during the lockdown when they only had takeout available. The service was really quick and seamless. I got fish and chip special and pie and ice cream dessert. The fish was incredibly tender and fresh. The fries were good too and the coconut creme pie was not too sweet and went well with the ice cream. ”
“ This is such an awesome restaurant with a patio you can bring your dogs to where they supply ice for the dog’s water bowel. The waitresses are excellent. The food is so delicious. We have had a few meals here. They have a wonderful menu. With lots of yummy gluten free options. You can even get all day breakfast. ”
“ I have enjoyed their delicious food & excellent service for a few years now! Izzy herself is there often, taking the time to give her patrons a special, more personal experience. It is quite lovely, and her patio has the perfect view of the rare opportunity to see a real submarine! Very cool ”
“ We were camping at Port Burwell Provincial Park and ordered fish and chips. The fish was fantastic, lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. The fries were real potatoes! A nice treat, we phoned, ordered takeout and picked it up. Very close to the park. ”
“ My best friend and I went to Izzy's for lunch to celebrate her birthday. We both ordered Izzy's fish and fries. The meal was absolutely delicious. The portions were great. The service was very good. I would recommend this place to everyone. ”
“ We arrived here right after the madness of the Labour Day, as we have been told both the restaurant and the provincial park we were headed to, had to turn people away due to being so busy. That is why we always avoid going at the weekend to such places and prefer to laze around the house than to receive sub standard service due to the staff being over worked. As we arrived just before lunch time with a view to go to the nearby park, we noticed the sleepy town and the part on the left of the restaurant I wish they covered somehow, as it looked so depressing and sub par to the amazing food we experienced. We sat on the right, with no one to disturb us and had our fish and chips, asking for tomatoes to accompany my food (which proved so difficult at other restaurants). The staff, most specifically the slim lady with fringe has been amazing: friendly, lovely, respectful and brought everything to us with a smile. For the first time in a long time, I actually finished all the plate and then went to their back terrace to admire the submarine I would have liked to tour, but it was closed on the Tuesday we came here. People like this lady contribute to actually making your day a memorable one: good food (most surely we will return to try their quesadilla and fajitas or even the breakfast options) then an amazing day in the provincial park. Hopefully next time we will be here the famous submarine (the newest out of all the submarines out there to visit) will be open too. ”
“ Well I've tried Poutine all over London Ontario and I have to say this place is the best. Went with a classic but goody. Local favorite... I was completely satisfied. That thick gravy and when the cheese curds melts its long strands covers every bite. It was just delicious. Chicken club came with real chicken breast cutlets. I thought It was coming out sandwich meat style. No ma'am... They do use whip mayo which brought the home taste of a good sandwich to my tummy, in the back of my mind I couldn't stop counting carbs on this treat. But it was delicious. I'm so going back. The town is just opening again. Close to beach what's not to love. ”
“ I'm a sucker for anywhere that gives me even the slightest feeling beach vibes. We've driven well over an hour just to come sit on the patio and eat some fish and chips here. The view is ...well... different, I mean there's a massive naval sub 100 feet from the patio, where does that happen!? I haven't tried all the food, I hear the poutine rivals anything you can get in Quebec, but the fish and chip platter is where you hit the motherload! The fries are perfectly crispy without that burned oil flavour at most places. The batter is crispy yet fluffy somehow, it's magic. The fish is fresh and so delicious. And it's MASSIVE! The dill pickle fries have real dill pickles and dill on them! They're really good but can use a touch more pickle flavour and a bit more ranch, but it's great just the way it is. Service is on point, very friendly and fast, and the price is super affordable. When you're done here hop across the road and grab some incredible ice cream and take a walk down to the water. Well worth the drive! ”
