What Sabine Kaiser likes about Captain John's Fish & Chips:
Excellent food! We usually get the two piece cod which is a generous portion- enough to feed two people. My son is not a fish guy but loves the poutine. And the samosas- OH MY GOODNESS- they are incredible!! And the sauce that comes with them- mouthwateringly good. View all feedback. What Annabel Kuhn doesn't like about Captain John's Fish & Chips:
Clean looking but sticky. Haddock was fine but the fries are greasy mush. A tummy full of grease is not fish&chips. Oh and they forgot my coleslaw. Wish owen sound had a good fish&chips. Servise was polite tho so thats really nice. View all feedback.

Used to be fresh cut well cooked and big portions. Now very greasy. Just isn't the same any longer Have gave a few chances too

Captain John's Fish and Chips in Owen Sound has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have expressed disappointment in the quality of the food, such as overcooked fish and greasy fries, others have praised the generous portions and delicious taste of their meals. The restaurant's move to a new location seems to have affected both the food and service, with some customers noting a decline in both. Despite this, many still appreciate the friendly staff and the convenience of grabbing a quick meal, especially for takeout. Overall, opinions on Captain John's Fish and Chips vary, with some loyal customers vowing to return and others deciding to look elsewhere for their seafood fix.
