SIR Cedric’s Fish & Chips

Some of the best fish in the city. The place is clean, but a little plain guess it don’t matter with good food. Everyone is nice there and all the options are tasty.

Whenever I visit Windsor, I always go to a different Fish and Chip joint, but my nephew recommended this place as, in his words, «they’re the best».
While the halibut I ordered was good, it wasn’t as good as the other place I visit. The chips were just ok… nothing special. Our waitress was spectacular… she remembered all the regulars and although we didn’t know her, she greeted us warmly. She was efficient and was moving all over the restaurant.
Décor is early ’60’s style… pretty dreary… but you’re not there to get decorating ideas…
While it wasn’t the best I’ve had, I would go back as the piece of fish was fairly large (for the price) and was cooked perfectly.

Been there a few times and the place is consistently excellent. Ash, our server is a natural server who can control the room and time everything perfectly.

Good food, good people, and good service. Nothing over the top, but solid delivery. When my son asked who Cedric was our wait staff gave us a blank stare.

I found this place from the Unilocal reviews. The food is decent but in my opinion the portions are small for the amount of money they charge. I had the Cod and my mom had the seafood combination platter. If you are staying at Caesars it is only a five minute drive down University Street. The lady that waited on me was very nice and I may go back for a second try.
Oh the soup was delicious I had broccoli my mom had clam chowder. That was probably my favorite part of the meal.

Good service, great fish fry. The décor is pretty plain, but the food more than makes up for it. We had the seafood combo, which comes with halibut, shrimp, and scallops, and everything was really good. The servings are generous, too. Highly recommend.

I order takeout and it’s ready in less than 15 minutes… then a craving can be fulfilled. We usually stick to the haddock, which is very good. The Halibut is a little more expensive — but they do sell small pieces you can add to the side.
The restaurant itself, no crazy bells and whistles — it’s a diner, it’s like stepping into a time capsule. But you aren’t going here fro the ‘hipster’ experience. You are going here for the yummy quick and delicious food.
The price, the speed, the convenience– it’s so good. No wonder EVERYONE loves this place as a go to for fish and chips. Of the two locations, this is my favorite.

I’ve been here once and I LOVE their fish and chips. The halibut is SO GOOD! Probably one of the tastiest fish and chips meals I’ve had. Because of overfishing and inflation, the price on halibut has increased dramatically (which really sucks) but if you REALLY love it and don’t mind spending a little bit more than usual, come here.

Juicy sweet!

One of my favourite fish and chip joints. Reminds me of my trips to England.

Maybe we caught the honorable Sir Cedric on a bad day, but we didn’t quite get the four or five-​star experiences described in the other reviews.
Don’t get me wrong: Sir Cedric’s wasn’t bad. We tried the halibut as suggested by the reviews and by Sir Cedric’s own menu. The batter was a nice, crusty British-​style one but could have been a bit crisper, as well as bolder with the seasoning. The fish seemed fresh and its texture was pleasantly firm, but the flakiness you hope for from halibut was verging into stringiness, which isn’t a good thing. Maybe it was a wee bit overfried. The fried potatoes served with the fish were solid, though.
The staff was pleasant, friendly, and efficient. Although I like a good-​hole-​in-​the-​wall atmosphere as much as the next guy, I thought Sir Cedric’s was a little on the dreary side. If you’re kinda old like I am, the 1970s-​style signage outside will send off a nice nostalgic vibe, but the restaurant is grey and dim inside, with dated furnishings and mostly tired nautical décor.
Sir Cedric’s is not bad if you’re in Windsor already, but I wouldn’t say it’s worth crossing an international border for, as a couple of the American reviewers indicate.

Fish and chips par excellence!
You can taste the sea, that’s how fresh their halibut is. Firm yet flaky, a think coat crispy enough to give a good crunch, but without taking centre stage away from the fish. This is one place that knows how to make a good fish and chips.
The dining hall is fairly basic; service adequate and quick.

Fantastic Fish N Chips!
Sir Cedric’s is a nice little diner-​looking joint on University Ave. They are well known around the locals for having some of the best Fish N Chips in the city. The place is gets filled up by locals and can get real busy. The service is incredible and they are extremely friendly and helpful. The menu sticks to what they do best. Various kinds of fish with some chips (homemade fries). Halibut, Cod, and Haddock are their specialties, but they are especially known for their Halibut.
I got the Halibut and Chips and a small order of their jumbo shrimp. The Halibut is a very firm and meatier fish, almost like chicken. The batter on the fish is very crisp. It tastes great too, but could have used some more spices. The homemade fries are great. They are pretty much skin-​on fries that are salted great. Over salted fries are the worst and they seem to appear on fish n chips a lot, but not here. The Jumbo shrimp was alright. Nothing special. I wouldn’t get them again. The tartar sauce must be made in house or something. It was very addictive.
Their prices are good for what you get and they have monthly specials which you should look out for. Make sure you come on Tuesdays because they offer specials on their fish n chips. (Halibut N Chips — $ 8.99 and Cod N Chips — $ 4.99). If you’re a fan of fried fish, make sure you give this place a shot.

If you have a passport or an enhanced driver’s license I advise you go to Sir Cedric’s now.
The halibut is just amazing as are the a’la carte shrimp. Fresh and perfectly coated, just ideal. Firm, flaky, cannot be better in any way. Good tartar but to be honest this fish does just fine on its own. Nice chips, just evil fried delights, a little malt vinegar and a kiss of salt and I was blissful. The coleslaw is even tasty!
My husband really appreciates the do it yourself salt seasoning here. He of course added nada. He also preferred cocktail sauce to tartar and they were more than happy to give him more. They cut their own fish and potatoes on premises, I appreciate that a lot. Everything is just stellar.
Cross the border and swing by. Your arteries may hate you but your tummy will be pleased.

I don’t know what more I can say than what Roger did. Except Sir Cedrics is worth you getting your enhanced drivers license just so you can go here. American f/c’s all tend to be greasy, Cedrics is very light a breading that’s airy almost.
I’ve never had halbut up till now and WOW is it a nice tasting fish very fresh and absolutly no fishy smell to it. Firm, but light, if that makes any sense.
My special came with chips, slaw (AWESOME AWESOME), and a cup of clam chowder which was meh. The chips are deeeelicious, with malt vinager and some salt, yummy in my tummy. The ketchup is different tasting not bad but just different.
If you go it is waitress serviced, i went to the counter to order and was escortedto a seat oops silly american.
Couldn’t check in via mobile phone???

Taking the hint from Brian F., I tried Sir Cedrics today. O my god… The food is delicious. I had the Halibut dinner, with 4 extra Jumbo Shrimp. Sir Cedrics endorses Halibut, but Cod and Haddock are both available at lower prices. I can’t say enough good about Halibut. The fish was extremely fresh, perfectly cooked and breaded just right. The tartar sauce was an experience in itself. Clearly the tartar was freshly made, and had a slight green hue to it. It did not overpower the fish; the taste was enhanced and harmonized. The fantastic vinegar based cole slaw was a lot like the slaw I make, but they use a different white vinegar than I have tasted. Further investigation is necessary. The chips were fresh cut potatoes, perfectly cooked.
On the table was ketchup, as well as both white and malt vinegar. I used the only the malt vinegar (and salt) on the fries. One thing I noticed is the lack of salt coming from the kitchen. Sir Cedrics leaves the salting to the customer! That is the right approach folks.
Too bad you need to do the homeland security dance to eat the best fried fish in the area. Go here people. Think of this as the Pollo Chapin of Fried Fish. Its that good.
