Haven't been there for a while but annoyed that I have to drive into Edmonton every time I want a decent fish and chips. So... decided to finally leave a review.There used to be a solid staff but when these owners took over they made bad decisions anddrummed out all the experienced staff. There was a girl being trained by an experienced staff member and she would argue withhim and treat him poorly. My wife and I could hear everything that was said in the kitchen. The food was still good as theexperienced staff member wouldn't let standards slide. He didn't last long, a short time after he left my wife and I stopped in.My wife loved their clam chowder but with the changes she asked if it was still made in house and the girl serving hesitatedthen said "yes". My wife got the soup and she knew it was Campbells out of a can. She asked if it was Campbell's and the serveradmitted to lying. My fish was soggy. We went one more time and I was asked do you want your batter crispy? I didn't know whatto say to that as there is only one way to serve a fried fish. Batter golden, and fully cooked on the outside, fish cookedperfectly flakey meat, and melt on your mouth on the inside. That is not what I got this time the fish was dry. There is no hopefor this place. I almost forgot they used to have a boat with an inflatable man in it on their roof and it looked terrible. Thecity had asked them to apply for a permit for the signage or take it down. They were asking patrons to sign a petition to letthem keep the sign up. I asked how much was it for them to get the permit they said the city would charge them $80.00. We askedwhy not just pay for a permit? They said it was too expensive. We did not sign the petition. I assume they didn't get the permitas they let the inflatable man half deflate and left it up there for months before taking it down. No respect for the communityat all and the food is trash good job Dochertys! Read more

Who is running this place? They were out of half the items on the menu. Save yourself some time and ask them to tell you what... they aren't out of. They don't open until 4 PM and apparently close at 6 PM even though their sign says open until 8. Why evenbother being open for just 2 hours? I also agree with some of the other reviews here. The lady working there lacks people skillsand comes across as rude. Food was just okay. Read more

If you're looking for decent-priced really-good Fish and Chips, Docherty's is the place to go! Current construction to... "Beautify Downtown Spruce Grove" has made getting here difficult, but going through the back alley and parking in their rearparking lot is really a lot easier than parking on the street and trying to back out. I didn't realize there's a parking lotback there! The quality of fish is great - the breading is light and crispy and I wish I bought an extra order of fries -they're awesome! Their home-made tartar sauce is better than you'll get in a bottle and try the malt vinegar - it's MUCH milderand still gives a "bite". Read more

Food was terrible!!!! Completely flavourless. Tatar sauce is just mayo. Chips have no flavour. Waitress was unpleasant. Rather... pricey. Will not be back Read more

Made it out for 3.14 pie day. Chicken pot pie was good. Restaurant was clean and tons of street parking available outside. Was a... little chillier inside so be sure to bring a sweater if you run cold like me. Staff was pleasant. Read more

Really bad experience. Woman working was totally disinterested and rude. Our orders were rung up wrong and our table was dirty.... Half the menu was ?sold out?, they didn?t even have lemon for the fish. Used to be a nice place to go. Will not be going back. Read more

Just not a good experience. Staff are rude and disinterested and dining area is dirty and unkept. Fish and chips looked... promising until we pulled a never ending long hair out of the deep fried breading. That was enough to lose one?s appetite. Read more
