The food was good however I wish they would bring back real hash browns and not fried chips. Servers are excellent, and they are always busy which is a good thing.
I understand a lot of restaurants have increased their prices, because of COVID, but if the food you're paying for isn't worth the price, then you are losing out as a restaurant owner! Of course the price was outrageous, and expensive, on Good Friday. 3 Fish meals, $64, is ridiculous! The food quality was barely at par. Frozen fries, not hand cut! Dressing was mediocre. Very underwhelmed, and we won't be returning!
We pre-ordered our Good Friday fish and chips and so glad we did. We ordered the family size haddock and fries (6pcs fish and 4 fries) for 6pm pickup. We arrived right at 6 and found out from some very nice patrons waiting outside, that pre-orders were distributed at the back of the restaurant. A young lady came out and took customer names. Took about 20 minutes for our order to be ready. They were very busy. There were 5 of us at home. Each got a piece of fish and fries, and everyone fought over the last piece. Fish was moist with a crispy coating. Fries were crispy. We received tartar sauce in packets but no lemon. We did a trial run a couple of weeks before as even though we've lived in the Cambridge area for almost 30 years, that was the first time we'd ordered from them. We had several types of fish and chips and chicken fingers and fries. All were very good. We'll definitely come again.
I highly recommend this place if you are looking to have a satisfying good breakfast with a good view in Cambridge near the Grand River.The food is great, price is surprisingly affordable and the service is excellent as well. I am glad I followed my son's recommendation. Will go there again on my next visit to Cambridge.
BewareThe 2 piece Halibut and fries costs $40.40. and that's all you get. No coleslaw anything. They do not let you know the price unless you ask. The online menu pricing is 3 years old. The Price's on the takeout menu states may change due to market fluctuations but there is no daily price given. Family of 5. 2 chicken strip meals, 1 Hadok and fries and 2 Halibut and fries came to $144. and change. No drinks ordered.
Great restaurant for that classic fish and chips. Family has been going here for years since I was little. A staple of the downtown!
I have been here many times to eat and not once have I been disappointed. To start off, their menu has a wide range of selections to help accommodate everyone's likings. The prices on the menu are very affordable, which definitely attracted me. The seating areas are large, this is good so you are able to have a conversation with whoever you may be eating with or if you are alone and are doing work for example. Another awesome aspect of this restaurant is their awesome, quick and friendly service. The waiters/waitresses are always very kind and engage in conversations with people, the food comes to your table within 10-15 minutes of ordering and if you have any problems, the staff is always very nice and helpful. I highly recommend Barnacle Bill's if you are looking for a nice, affordable and tasty meal!
First time ordering and pleasantly impressed. The food was fresh, warm and delivered quickly. The fish was nicely fried, full flavoured with a crispy golden brown batter. The fries were very plump, perfectly made and lightly salted for exquisite taste.We also had some burgers in our order. The bun was very fresh and spongey with the perfect amount of condiments. The cheeseburgers themselves were adequate but the whole package was very good.Would highly recommend Barnacle Bill’s, especially for the fish n chips!
It's a nice clean restaurant, I don't know how but their fish and chips are really good. I'd describe it as fresh, and comforting. I'm not the best at food description but you'll have to try it yourself. Would recommend as a fish and chips place. I also got a nice slice of bread with butter and coleslaw which I didn't realize was part of the order but was a nice bonus that I don't see other places doing.
We had order pollock n fries . It was greasy and huge pieces of batter missing fish .The fries were frozen with some kind of batter on them . I was sick for 2 days . We have had better frozen fish and fries at home
