  • From the moment I walked in, the owner made me feel as though I was inconveniencing her. She was very rude and not at all helpful. I read the review before going and still wasn't prepared for her poor attitude. The fish was mediocre and almost undercooked.

    I will definitely not return, but will tell others of my experience. The pricing is outrageous for the quality and portion of the fish.

  • Order: Haddock and Chips

  • Out of towners first time there, was impressed with large portion - 4 pieces of fish and huge helping of chips, they were busy service a little slow but ok........only one complaint - too much dressing on the ceasar salad and nothing to serve it with. Will definately go again. A lot better pricing than othr fish n chip places in Sarnia its about time someone gave the Wharf a run for there money!

  • Order: Two Specials, all you can eat Haddock and chips Ceasar salad a coffee and a tea.

  • The food was well obove average for Sarnia restaurants but I was informed that the prices have gone up quite a bit in the last year and portions have dropped considerably. The owner might be well advised to not price her food into mediocrity or get the portions back where people are again impressed with the generous value.
    Just my opinion!!

  • Order: Ordered fish & chips.

  • Fish and chips are a standard menu item...especially at a place that is excusively a fish n chips place. One would therefore expect the quality of the product to be at least above average. First of all, the fries are disgusting, and the fish has a ton of greasy batter...and when ordering take-out, it ends up cold (on more than one occasion). The service is nice, but if you want to enjoy what goes in your mouth, spend a few extra bucks and go somewhere else.

  • Order: fish and chips--take out

  • This is pretty good food. It can be almost crazy walking into this place at certain times of the day and week which makes the waitress somewhat less friendly than when its not as busy. This lady is always taking our orders for take out and serving us when eating in the restaurant. She should hire more help for the busy times because although she is quick she has almost no patience at all.

  • Order: Halibout dinner (includes fries and coleslaw and bun) Double cod
