What Sherlina Minor doesn't like about Shady Rest Fish & Chips:
Shady Rest has been a long time favourite for fish chips. Sadly, I have been disappointed the last two visits. The fish was very poorly battered, greasy poor quality taste. The fries could have been cooked longer. For the price, it was not worth it. I hope the food quality and service improve, as would like to see Shady Rest thrive. View all feedback. What Karen W likes about Shady Rest Fish & Chips:
While visiting Kelowna recently, I saw the Shady Rest Fish and Chips restaurant and decided to have a meal there. The woman behind the counter, sister of the owner, was so friendly and we had a lovely chat about England, where we had both lived. The meal arrived and it was THE best fish and chips I've ever eaten this side of the Atlantic! The piece of fish was a good size and there were lots of tasty chips. I can't r... View all feedback.

We ordered cod and halibut, fresh cut fries, all made to orderThe batter is light and the portions healthyAdd some malt vinegar, and chow down.

The Shady Rest Kelowna is a historic fish and chips restaurant that has been serving customers since 1950. While some recent reviews have been mixed, with complaints about greasy and poorly cooked food, there are also glowing reviews praising the quality of the fish and chips. The traditional fish and chips are served wrapped in newspaper for an authentic experience. Customers have noted that the portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant has a nostalgic ambiance that has remained unchanged over the years, drawing in both longtime locals and first-time visitors. It may have some flaws, but for many, the Shady Rest Kelowna is a beloved institution that continues to serve up classic fish and chips with a touch of nostalgia.
