Granny Bonn’s Fish N Chips

It was a lovely Friday and there were Fish n’ Chips at the café at work. The problem is at our café the Fish n’ Chips are nothing to write home about. My work friends and I decided that we still wanted Fish n’ Chips and decided to search for a local Fish n’ Chippery that we could check out. We decided on Granny Bonn’s.
The outside of the restaurant was mediocre, which is all you really expect from a Fish n’ Chip shop. We walked in and the small restaurant was ‘cute’. The wallpaper had patterns of anchors and there was a clear ‘sea’ theme… fitting… needless to say I knew what their ‘thing’ was. They had proudly hung their awards on the wall, which claimed that they were in fact «Platinum Winners» of the Fish n’ Chips reward. They oddly had the Discovery Channel playing in the room… a unique touch.
As soon as we entered we were waved over to the order if counter by a very sweet lady. After ordering and sharing a laugh we took our seats. My only critique at this point was that there was no option for credit card payment, however debit was accepted (important to note that there was no ATM inside the store). A mild inconvenience, however bearable. Within 5 minutes our food was in front of us and ready too eat. I ordered the 2 piece Haddock and opted to have tarter sauce and coleslaw. The coleslaw was cool and creamy, however lacked ‘crunch’. The taste was on point however. The chips had a significant amount of potato and were not too greasy. Although not amazing, the chips complimented the plate nicely.
The fish. What we all came for. It was flaky on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The tarter sauce was creamy and delicious. Again, the fish was not the nicest I have ever had but by no means the worst. I enjoyed the meal, needles to say. Someone at my table described the meal as «satisfying.»
For those who don’t like fish but want to accompany a friend to Granny Bonn’s, there are other options. Another friend of mine had the chicken fingers. When we asked her if she was satisfied she said «it was good.»
The room was quiet but picked up near the end, and the lady who seemed to be running the store by herself, and one other person in the back, managed to come around and check up on us.
The overall rating of this store is a 6.5÷10

Best sit-​down fish and chips shop I’ve ate at in the Southern and South-​West region of Ontario.
The fish tastes «fishy» and batter is consistently the same without over-​battering like most sports bars and pubs seem to do. .
I always order their special with coleslaw, fries, and tartar sauce. Realy like their fries too. The owner of the restaurant is always polite and energetic. They have a flow of regular clientele coming in each time I visit.
There’s always something interesting playing on their flatscreen tv such as BBC Planet Earth — but sometimes seeing larvae in HD during my meal is not the best dining experience.
* Remember to tip at the table because you pay at the counter (often you might forget to tip afterward when leaving).

A nice little fish and chips place in Waterloo. I dropped by in the evening to get some take out. One piece of halibut with fries and coleslaw was $ 9.99. I always order halibut at fish and chip places even though it is a little bit more expensive than the other fishes.
The halibut was nice and crispy in batter and not too greasy. If you are looking for standard old-​fashioned fish and chips fare, you will not be disappointed.

This old-​school fish ‘n’ chip joint does the dish the old fashioned way…
Located in the Lincoln Plaza with Figaro’s Pizza and BMO Bank of Montréal, stepping into Granny Bonn’s is like stepping into the past. If you like the way fish ‘n’ chips were served 20 years ago, you’ll love this place! Eating here reminds me of the fish ‘n’ chip places I used to go to when I was a kid.
Wednesday is a special day for Granny Bonn’s: You get your 2 pcs. Haddock fish ‘n’ chips for only $ 7.99 plus taxes, it’s a great deal!
