great fish & chip restaruant all seafood selection

halibut still the best anywhere. i found out still run by one Fancy family member and managers have been there for several years. with the price of halibut the way it is i cant believe they can still serve at these prices. i read reviews and noticed a lot of negative ones all the same date and wonder where they came from. have been going to fancys since the early 1980's and continue to go back regulary. lobster tail 8 oz and very reasonanbly priced.

What a disapointment!!! We decided to check this place out a whim, but should have just kept on driving. When we were first seated, our young server took our drink orders. We ordered a bottle of white wine, one of the two selections they had. Upon her return, we were informed that they were out of that wine, so we ordered the other. She came back with two GLASSES of wine, and not a bottle. We corrected her, only to be informed that they did not have the OTHER bottle of wine available, so we ordered a half litre of the wine. She came back with a litre. After placing our order, we waited 22 minutes for our appetizers, which were one bowl of french onion soup and one order of calamari. My soup was ice cold when I received it. I informed our server promptly, and she looked rather disgusted and disappointed about this. She took it back to the kitchen, and returned with it 2 minutes later. Apparently instead of giving me a fresh order, they microwaved my orginal soup, which once I actually started into it, discovered it tasted like it was from a packet of Lipton's. And the calamari was severely overcooked. After waiting an additional 15 minutes, our entrees arrived. There were 2 orders of the battered haddock, and one order of battered halibut. My haddock came with fries and a side of veg. The veg was horribly over-cooked, the fries were soggy, the batter for the fish had the consistency of drywall putty, and I don't know how they did it, but were able to both under-cook one end and over-cook the other end of my one piece of fish. The server did not do a quality check once with us, and merely waited til we were done to come to the table. There was no apology from the ONE server that was on the floor, nor from the manager in regards to the lack of service and the poor quality of food. One top of that, they kept my soup on the bill instead of comping it. WILL NEVER RETURN HERE AGAIN!!! And will tell everyone I know to avoid this train-wreck of a restaurant. "Fancy's" sure doesn't live up to the name!

Best crab deal anywhere!

We travel frequently from Toronto to have Fancy's 'all you can eat crab legs". The restaurant consistantly delivers friendly, efficient service and top quality seafood. We are always eager to introduce friends to one of our absolutely favorite spots to eat!

The pieces of Halibut were adequate for the price, however the fries need to be improved and be golden and crisp rather than beige/brown. The gravy was also a bit salty and lumpy. Overall it just comes up to par for the price. I could name at least ten other Barrie outlets which I have tried and would not even achieve a 4 out of 10. At least Fancy's halibut is WHITE not beige or brown like you get in other eateries. I have had Halibut dinners from a couple of dozen eateries around the province. Fancy's is not the best but neither is it as bad as some of the reviewers make it appear. The reviewers need to get out and try some places outside of their neighborhood, to establish a baseline, before they broadcast their assessments. I have my 2 or 3 favorites but I will not name them here lest it sounds like an endorsement to the competition.

We have lived in Barrie for over 20 years, and dinner at Fancy's was always a treat. Fresh cut fries, and halibut to die for. Recent visits have been disappointing, especially the fries. Last night we decided to give them another try. Mussels fabulous, pineapple ditto, but half way throughthe meal the server brought our entrees!! Well,the fries were definitely confirmed to be frozen!! Halibut was overcooked and dry - they brought a new piece of fish and it wasn't much better. Why does a Fish and Chip Restaurant with such a history have to resort to frozen fries?? Not sure if we will be going back again or not.
