The fish and chips were the best I had in Rupert. The batter was crispy and I'd definitely come back.The service was top notch too. The lady and her helper literally ran to clear a table and served up a great meal in short order.Top notch all around with a great atmosphere.

Both the chowders on the menu are a must try and the chicken salad was awesome. Welcomed with a smile, stay true to their name

This place has been around forever. And then some. When you walk inside, it’s like a time capsule. I would bet the fish and chips have been made the same way since this place opened.. It’s not a tourist trap. The locals eat here. The food is good. Chances are you know the guy sitting on the side of the restaurant. If you have a chance to go try. It’s worth it.Fish and chips the way it should be .

Interesting little place very quaint food is very good and lovingly prepared, larger portions and better quality than their competitors, service was a little abrupt but I believe this was more due to English skills than rudeness, it was still attentive and swift and obviously with the purpose of my comfort and enjoyment of my meal. The place is family owned and not a huge corporate chain so I’m happy to patronize places like this that are the true fabric of the community, I love the dedication to local history displayed by the numerous photographs displayed throughout the restaurant it results in a very warm comfortable atmosphere that adds to the dining experience, the numerous customers all seem to truly enjoy their experience and I could help but to enjoy the positive energy generated by this place. One of the most pleasant dining experiences I’ve had in this region.

I recently dined at this incredible seafood restaurant, and I was blown away by the experience! The service was prompt and attentive, with staff who genuinely seemed passionate about their craft. The food was the star of the show—perfectly cooked fish, delicate shrimp, and a crab dish to die for. Each plate was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with a nautical theme that creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Definitely a must-visit for seafood lovers!
