+5
I use a (5) 4 point rating scale for food. It's a 1 if you don't particularly care to finish your meal. 2 means it's pretty good. 3 means it's quite tasty (you're likely to go back, for instance). 4 is reserved for those moments when you take your first bite, the heavens open up, angels start singing, and you just need to take a moment to process the experience and wait for your brain to catch up to your tastebuds. 5's can only be awarded months later, if you're STILL thinking about that moment.
As you can imagine, 5's are few and far between. This place has ruined fish and chips for me forever. It's been more than a year since my last visit (I, alas, live nowhere remotely close by), and I still think about my last meal there fairly regularly.
The ambiance is pretty standard sports-bar type, although the live jazz music really makes it stand-out. It's certainly not a formalwear type of place. But, it's comfortable and the service is friendly (although the food is so good that I tend to forget the other details).
I hope this place stays open forever, because it's comforting to think of getting to go back when next I visit the Pacific Northwest. And yes, I would travel to Portland from, say, Seattle, to have dinner here. It's just that good.
It's always great! My wife loves the classic halibut with malt vinegar. I can't stay away from the catfish, just perfect. The slaw is very refreshing, the fries are done just right. The only think that would make it better for me would be if I could get some fried okra with the catfish. Instead of walking over tonight we ordered from Grubhub, and it was just as hot and crispy as eating at the truck. If you crave some good fish and chips, or some catfish that anyone south of Amarillo would find more than acceptable, do stop and try The Original Halibut's for yourself, you won't be disappointed!
BEAUTIFUL Alaskan Halibut fried to perfection. The fish is fresh and excellent quality! French fries are also delicious dusted with sea salt and coarse pepper🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The food is amazing! Best chowder I've had in Portland! And the salmon?! So good! Service was amazing and we'll definitely be coming back!
Food is great. Fish is fresh. Had the Alaskan halibut and it was delicious. Proper batter that’s thin. Crispy piece of fish. Highly recommend
Best Alaskan Halibut fish and chips period. 4 piece halibut w coconut shrimp and couple sodas w tip will run $40. Worth it in my opinion. I am not a chowder fan but his chowder is damn good too.
And you don't have to drive to the beach!
Again...can't go wrong here. Delicious.
Oh my gosh! Absolutely amazing! The halibut is super fresh and completely melts and the outer crust on the halibut is so crispy. One of the best halibuts I have had in a very long time. The owner is super nice and very honest. Definitely try the oyster shooter it will wake you up!
After my adventures with baris and JJs in the piedmont food carts (see my other reviews) I said to hell with it and got what my wife was having even though I worked for a seafood house for 6 years. Cod 2 piece, came quick and hot and seasoned perfectly. Only complaints is cocktail was like 80% horseradish, and slaw wasn't salted enough but it's a fine line because if you over salt it pulls more moisture from the slaw. I also would've liked my fish done a little more since it was cold out since the moisture caused it to get soggy quickly but it was done and more of a preference thing. Good job for someone who doesn't like seafood that much
FRIENDLY FRIED FABULOUSNESS
I’ve stuck to the cod and halibut here, but want to try their clam chowder real soon. Their fries are always fried fresh to order so they are tasty, but are nothing special coming from a freezer bag. Sauces are very tasty and I highly recommend the tartar sauce.
Great spot to grab a pint in a nearby beer cart, and get yourself some truly delicious fish and chips. Don't forget the chowder! I could eat a gallon of that chowder. Nice and crispy batter on the fish, fries are as they should be. Friendly staff! Will be back!
Full on delicious fish and chips. Really enjoyed the fries and of course, I recommend the halibut! The clam chowder is out of this world good, and everything was fresh as can be. Great quality fish
I must eat here twice a month. Cat fish is so damn good!
