Murphy's Fish & Chips Reviews
Murphy's Fish and Chips offers an outstanding fish and fries experience. The fish is expertly cooked, with a perfectly crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior. The fries are golden and crisp, complementing the fish wonderfully. I tried their fish and fries when I was really hungry and took it away, and it was amazing. The quality and taste exceeded my expectations, making it a perfect meal for satisfying hunger on the go.
honestly the best tasting fish and chips ive had in ontario, BC, and nova scotia combined. the batter is so light and crispy and PERFECTLY seasoned. i regret not ordering more pieces. definitely worth getting off the highway for a visit
From the outside it's not a particularly noticeable place, but once you go inside you find yourself in a kind of another small world of the sea, fishing, boats and shells. A magnificent setting that creates its own authentic atmosphere. Very friendly staff who can help you with the menu. Normal prices. My wife and I took their "fish and chips" and another seafood dish. Quite tasty and hearty food. I really recommend this place for visiting in that city.
my first time visiting at this diner and I had a wonderful experience! the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming! the food was outstanding— the fish was crispy and fresh. I would definitely recommend this diner and I look forward to my next visit!
I really enjoyed my Fish and Shrimp combo! The portion for me was big! The staff were extremely friendly. The service was just wonderful. I will definitely be back.
Hands down the best fish and chips I've ever had. Don't pass on this place. You will not be disappointed. Amazing friendly service from Amanda. We will definitely be back!
After a 5 hour drive, we were looking for a nice meal before we headed back and we decided to stop here. We wanted to eat another sea food platter before we left. They do serve sea food platters but they are deep fried. I tried their famous fish and chips and they were amazing. I was surprised to see how fluffy and light their batter was. I would add some seasonings to the fish but that I is my personal choice. Anyhow, I highly recommend this place if u are looking for deep fried sea food.
So far the best fish & chips I’ve had throughout my trip to the Atlantic region. Not too greasy, good batter, good fish quality. Their tartar sauce is top tier, almost finished the entire bottle! Server was very nice, there’s lots of seating available, and the atmosphere was very hearty! It’s a good stop to eat if driving through this area.
