John's lunch is a must stop shop whenever I visit Halifax. The seafood served at John's Lunch is almost as good as the restaurant's service, which is to say that it is world-class. The portion sizes are incredible by any consideration, but given the very reasonable pricing, there is nowhere else you can eat to get a similar bang out of your buck.

Finally got back there this weekend.   And didn't I really miss their Haddock Tips,  Wow! It is takeout only, currently oh, but they have a gazebo style enclosure beside the restaurant, with your hot fresh order coming out a side window as they call your name when your order is completed. Then sit down and enjoy the best there is!

Always has been and continues to offer amazing service and food. Window order and enjoy a heated deck while you wait or in the summer months a little shade. The portions are amazing and their fish is to die for. Larger than your hand and no holding back you won't be hungry after you eat here

Good food, gravy is terrible I'm not sure if they use nutmeg or Cinnamon but it is the most disgusting gravy. Dirty cups, dirty forks. Great service, very friendly,  They need to change there gravy I can't stress that enough. Pleasant street uses the same recipe I think it's absolutely terrible. I come from a family of Cooks so I know good gravy. Fast service , food was nice and fresh,  hot.

Myself and sister went for dinner I had the 2 piece fish and chips which was delicious,  each fish was a great portion and the batter was crispy , some of the best fish I have had . The fries were very good as well. My sister had clams and a poutine . The clams were great as well I had to try them and the poutine , the poutine had lots of cheese and gravy, the gravy had a bit of spice flavor to it reminds me of a slight cinnamon taste , was not fan of it but would not have stopped me from eating it . Will definitely be back to try other items next time I'm in the area

Absolutely horrible. No wonder the haddock tips were on a special extra 25% off no one wanted them. Grey dried up rubber and served with horrible frozen fries that were overcooked. I thought that a side gravy would help, nope not at all....had to add 3 salt, 2 pepper and some hot sauce to make it somewhat tolerablish. Someone else had the platter, 3/4 of it was completely overcooked as well. Never going again

Went here when we travelled from Toronto to Halifax. Best fish and chips I'd ever eaten! Took out two medium fish and chip. Each set has two very large pieces of fish, lots of fries. Fish is very lightly battered, perfectly seasoned. One piece of fish and half of the fries are more than enough for a lady.

Friendly service. I'm so happy I got my lunch before the rush. I ordered the seafood platter. The scallops are AMAZING. Also the way they call your name for your order took me back to childhood.

The best place to get a literally-award-winning fish and chips—period. Humungous portion and worth the visit!   Quick service and the lady at the front counter Cathy was superrrr friendly. Indoor seating is currently closed but there are picnic tables by the side of the restaurant with a decent lunch-preferred atmosphere to sit in. If you have never visited John's Lunch, well, you're missing out on one of the best fish and chips in town!

As soon as we arrived to Halifax, we called them. They would close in less than 30 minutes and we had to drive from Halifax to Darmouth. The girl on the phone said we had plenty of time.  One of our friends had recommended this place as "lots of seafood and not expensive at all"...seafood is my middle name!!  We got there and hesitated with the menu...ended up ordering a seafood platter, a combo w calamari and haddock tips an digby scallops...3 plates!! We told the girl on the window I wish I could remember her name that a friend had recommended the place, we were from Ontario and loved seafood and had also read reviews saying this was a must place when in Halifax!!!  She was funny and said we would not regret and joked with the other staff, adding she would throw "something else" in one of our plates.  We sat outside in a kind of tent they have and a lady approached us and started a nice friendly conversation, said she has been going there for many years now.  When we got our food we were shocked! So much food and sooooo tasty!!! I thought it was too much but we ate it all except the fries. We could not find room.  Best part of the story is the server gave my husband 2 hats...one for him and one to take to the friend who had recommended the place.  Hands down best food, best service and better yet...awesome people!!! We will be back...save me some scallops!!
