'A walk down nostalgia lane': Sonny's fish and chips return for one day only
CTV
It was a busy day at Morty's Pub on Good Friday, as people flocked to the Waterloo hot spot to get their fill of fish and chips.
“When we found out that they were coming here, we just thought, yeah, we need to check that box one final time,” one patron told CTV News.
Morty’s Pub and Sonny's shared their collaboration on social media leading up to the Easter long weekend to serve Sonny's famous fish and chips one last time.
“About a month ago, Jay from Morty’s approached me about resurrecting ou Good Friday fish and chips,” said former owner of Sonny’s Paul Noussis. “I'm sure people missed coming to Sonny's for their yearly fix.
"It's a limited menu with just fish fries, gravy. And if you're dining in, there's some drinks if you want to add to that. But we're just keeping it simple this year just to see how things went and maybe next year we expand the menu a little bit.”
“People are loving it, they're taking a walk down nostalgia lane and reminiscing about their great times they had at Sonny's,” said Morty’s Pub owner Jay Taylor. "Just by the sheer amount of orders we got, we had to stop taking them.”
After closing their doors in 2022, and facing demolition this past January, the legendary drive-in came back for one last hurrah.
“It was emotional,” Noussis said. “It was inevitable, you know, but this gives us a chance to kind of relive the moment.”
