Duffy's Famous Fish & Chips invites you to their dining room. They are open late Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and over week-ends and are readily reachable by car. They are found in a neighborhood filled with parks and restaurants.
As a Nova Scotianer, and someone who went to chef school, I have to say that Duffy's makes the best (haddock) fish and chips in the area if you don't feel like traveling to Sauble Beach. I know fish and chips. Grew up on the stuff. My uncles were all fishermen and their sons still are. Duffy's is REALL good. The wine spritzer was also excellent. The service was perfect.
After moving here from just outside of Toronto I was looking for a place I could go to that had good service and consistantly good food. Duffy's has both. A nice selection of Scotch keeps me going back and being a vegetarian, the veggie burger and quesadillas are the best I've had in ages. All my friends say the fish is the best in Bruce County and constantly go back. The owners are great and I always look foward to going back!
I have been going to Duffy's for over ten years. First time in was when Ernie Duff and his Wife Brenda ran it. It's great to see a young couple like Jay and Karen (although Jay can't sing anything like Ernie could), who own it now, making some subtle yet nice changes to the place. A TV has been added, a piano and the menu has been freshened up. There is a terrific selection of domestic and imported draught on tap. An excellent array of Scotch available. The food is for the most part Pub Fare which I usually go for and I'm never dissapointed. Their menu has full dinner items as well. I noticed that some people have critised the service, we live in a small, seasonal town that has to deal with line ups one month and silence the next. I think that maybe we need to get past the instant gratification that Toronto can afford to offer and the staff deserve to be cut a little slack. I have seen lots of happy people leave this restaurant over the years and I'm sure I'll see a lot more. Keep up the good work!
I came in with 7 other people at their busiest time. I waited probably 10 mins for the waitress to clean off a huge table at the front for us. Our main course was on our table 20min after we ordered despite the place being packed & it was great. I think every waitress in the restaurant helped us out, they were all very friendly.
For sure heading back next time we're in town.
My husband and I went to Southampton and decided to try the famous Fish and Chips at Duffy's. Unfortunately we could not..... I am still wondering why the owner and the waitresses completely ignored us....
The restaurant was not really that busy, there were clearly several tables available and we were the only 2 people standing at the door of the restaurant, the rest of the people were seated.....
They definitely knew we were there.... The owner, who was on the phone when we arrived, gave us a couple of looks and kept talking on the phone.
the waitresses didn't even look at us.... My husband and i decided to sit on one of the tables available and wait to be served.
At this moment the waitress that was helping people around us decided to start cleaning the empty tables beside us. she clearly saw when we sat down and she knew we were waiting for someone to help us but she decided to ignore us.
After 20 minutes we stood up and left the restaurant..... We didn't get a greeting, we didn't get a word of welcoming , we didn't get to try the food......
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?????
