“ I paid $28 after taxes for the Halibut and Chips with Sweet Potato Fries. The food was good but not worth it in my opinion for the portion you get. ”

Lorenzo Escobal

“ I expected a small takeout counter but was pleasantly surprised to find that Thistle is a fully decorated dining place. The staff are all very polite and I appreciate that the music is on the quieter side. It's a great place to have lunch with friends and be able to chat in between bites. I also really liked that their tea is served in a pot rather than a single cup. I didn't need to ask for refills as often, and it could be shared with the whole table. Their battered haddock is delicious but I also recommend trying out the haggis! The prices may be a bit higher compared to other lunch spots, but it is very much worth the price. ”

“ The halibut was a good size and the batter was light and crunchy - excellent. The big chips were just OK, nothing special. I was disappointed that they don't make their own tartar sauce, and you just get the little packets to open. Ordering one fish and chips and an extra side of fish, they won't plate it for 2 people, although you do get another plate with the side. The restaurant acoustics are very live and noisy. With a rather distorted music track playing in the background and all the conversations, it was hard to have a conversation with my partner. Service was quick but impersonal. ”

John Reviewer

“ My wife and I discovered this place about 15 to 20 years ago. It is the most authentic fish and chip pub ever! Very spacious lots of seating and the service always pleasant and polite. The fish and chips are the very best ( I mean shocking the best )we travel over 1/2 hr to arrive there. And the desert comes on a tray “ what a treat “. Have never been disappointed. Excellent meal.

“ Finally they open up again for lunch. We always love their Haddock and chips. The batter is fluffy and crispy, not oily. Fish is thick and not fishy. Good amount of fries and crispy. Fresh coleslaw. Friendly waiter and fast service. ”
