If you’re in Lethbridge and craving fish and chips, this is the place!! The vibe is super chill and the people working there are really friendly. I had their fish and chips, and the cod was cooked perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, plus fresh-cut fries. The prices are way more affordable than you’d expect for the quality you get. I’ll be coming back to for sure!!

We decided to check out the new location this past weekend and were not disappointed! From start to finish, everything was excellent. They took a reservation for our party for 7 on a Saturday evening which was helpful. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. We really enjoyed the spring rolls (house made by the mom!) People in our party ordered - fish and chips, lasagna, liver & onion, and donair and there was not an empty plate (well, except for one lasagna only because it was a large portion!) We ended the meal with shared mini doughnuts and churro's which were fresh and delicious. Extremely reasonable prices for the quantity and quality of food that you get, not to mention a wide variety of menu selections available, something for everyone. We can't wait to go back when we are in town and try other dishes.

The restaurant serves a mix of tasty dishes like pasta, fish and chips, breakfast, sandwiches, and fresh coffee. In the summer, you can relax on the patio and enjoy a lovely view of the park. It’s run by a small family from Lethbridge, so you know you’ll always get great food and friendly service.

Portion sizes are generous, fish is always crispy and delicious. The homemade coleslaw and tartar sauce are also very good. The fries tend to be a little soft and greasy but that is the only, very minor "complaint" I have. Overall I've been very pleased with my orders and will continue to order from here and recommend it to others!

Excellent Scottish style fish and chip takeaway. The haggis was delicious, it had an excellent seasoning flavor and is quite for authentic and a good one to try if having it for the fish time. The halibut was incredible, worth going for the upgrade. So tender with that chicken breast meat like tenderness you get with quality halibut. I will be coming back to try more of the menu!

So I was craving some fish and chips ever since I moved from Calgary and even in Calgary I couldn't find really good fish and chips to be honest with you. So I went to this location downtown and I had shrimp and chips and then added a piece of fish. It was very delicious very crisp very fresh the fries were good the gravy was delicious I will definitely be back many many times cuz I love fish and chips highly recommend! I love the fact that they wrap it in the paper similar to the trucks in England.

What's old is new again! Ok, that is an overly dramatic way of describing Whitbie's Fish and Chips, which first opened on the West side of Lethbridge. Originally run by a gentleman from the UK, it was taken over by a local family when he retired, but they kept up the quality and great service. This second location in downtown Lethbridge, called Whitbie's Diner, offers a dine-in friendly setting with excellent service and an expanded menu. Nice warm colours and comfortable booths, patient and attentive table service, and a menu that goes way beyond fish and chips. Watch the sidewalk for their special of the day, which will free up extra funds to try a new appetizer or salad! A very welcome addition to the downtown food scene and I hope they continue to do well.
