Summerhays Halibut and Chips

Summerland has been around for 26 years. No advertisement simply word of mouth. The food is fresh and tasty. Love seafood. The atmosphere is lovely and quirky. The staff was so welcoming. The prices are more than reasonable. This will be our new place until we're in our 80's hopefully.

Stopped in at Summerhay’s Halibut and Chips and had the Halibut and Clam Chowder—both were good and hit the spot. The chowder was creamy and flavorful, and the halibut was nicely fried without being too greasy. Chatted with a couple of regulars while waiting, which speaks to the kind of local favorite this place seems to be. It has a fun, laid-back atmosphere with a tropical flair that adds to the experience. Even though it was busy, the food came out fast, and the young man at the counter was friendly and helpful—especially impressive for a fast-paced dinner rush. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the mood for good seafood in a casual, upbeat setting.

Crispy golden batter, flaky fish, and perfectly seasoned chips—this place nails the classic! Tartare sauce is zesty, portions are generous, and the seaside vibe makes it a must-visit for comfort food lovers. A true catch! 🐟🍟

The food is fabulous...the BEST Halibut in town! They have THE BEST tartar sauce EVER...(& RANCH dressing!) Their crab cakes n crab cake sauce is amazing...!!! The indoor atmosphere is pretty awesome as well w/the water feature n palm trees etc...! Couldnt be more perfect...! Except it is a lil pricey...but WORTH it 4sho!

Food break down: Halibut n chips 4/5 big chunks of fish, extra breaded and deep fried and crunchy fries. Could be more seasoned as the tartar sauce was also not seasoned. Overall good. Crab cake combo 5/5 delicious crab cake that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Seasoned well, dipping sauce was sweet and spicy and I got the coleslaw as my side. It was light and topped with a vinaigrette. Calamari 4/5 delicious but small portion. Clam chowder 3/5 good but had a musty/sour after taste I’m not sure was on purpose for the dish but it’s still very much edible. Service was decent and restaurant was clean. Ambiance was very blue and what you’d expect from low key seafood restaurant. We had to order a lot of food between two people to feel full.
