This is gonna be a tough one for some of you... I've been here a couple times now and here's the deal. The fish and chips is alright at best. The chips don't have enough seasoning and I asked for my chips to be well-done, though they had the color they didn't have that crunch. It seems that the starch isn't removed before frying and the chip moves like a worm when you wiggle it. The crispy crunch one would want or expect isn't there. The fish is well seasoned, fresh (no fishy taste) but doesn't have that crunch tradition fish and chips normally have. Also potentially still healthier then a deep fried battered fish it doesn't hold that traditional fish and chip feel. Another big issue was the ratio of chips compared to fish for $18.50. I wish we got a bit more fish and a bit less chips. The 2nd thing we got was the 40 creek burger and a poutine. The burger bun was good, toppings were okay and burger patty was a average frozen patty that's thawed and grilled. It's not a custom in house ground and seasoned kind which I feel would take it to the next level. The 40 creek smoky flavored sauce was nice had a great smoky taste but I feel something was missing. Maybe more of a creaminess to it? The poutine with cheese curds was real nice but again I wish the fries had more of a crunch...a side of gravy on its own is a bit salty but on the fries it gives it the seasoning it's missing. I can see the appeal and easy off the road access to food but truly I've had better fish and chip elsewhere. I also don't like the after meal feeling. If your a person that loves greasy heavy food then this is the spot to stop, personally I like to feel light and energized after a meal. This left me feeling sluggish and tired. If you wanna feel nourished and light maybe the chicken wrap or salad would be better options. They have a nice indoor and outdoor dining spot and all the wood craved structures are beautiful There is a convenience store there but some of the stuff is real damn expensive. You can get the same type of amber maple syrup from the farmers market for less. The hids there are beautiful but again real pricy
