Fish & Chips Restaurants in Phoenix, AZ

“I’ve been coming to Pete’s Fish & Chips in Arcadia for over a decade now, and I’ll say this plainly: eating there is nothing short of a religious experience. I don’t use that phrase lightly — every visit feels like a pilgrimage to the altar of crispy batter, flaky fish, and that legendary sauce.

From the first bite, you’re struck by the perfect balance: the crunch, the hot insides, the salt, the tang. Decade after decade, the consistency is uncanny. The staff recognize my order before I even speak it. The scent of fries in the air feels like home. Even when life is messy, Pete’s has this ritualistic power to center me.

Some people leave negative reviews. I’m convinced they’re just “haters” — probably folks who taste ketchup and think it’s spicy. They clearly don’t understand nuance. They’ve never tasted this special sauce, or felt the communion of flavors that come together in that first bite. Trust me — take your seat, let your senses open up, and you’ll see what worship really tastes like.

Ten years in, I’m still in awe. If you haven’t gone yet, prepare your soul — this is more than a meal. It’s devotion.“

“I normally love Pete's but this time I was a little disappointed. My chicken nuggets were a little dry and my corn dog had a very weird not good taste. My boyfriend loved his fish and chips meal. Typically I always love my food but it just wasn't there this time. Great prices for the amount of food you get!!“

“Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long time“

“Nice little place. During work I come here for lunch. The cheeseburger combo is my favorite. Sorry, for the fish and shrimp combos I go to the other place. My old favorite. This place is nice and clean. Chill atmosphere. My combo is just the right price too.“

“Fish and chips are awesome. Shrimp skewer is delicious. Good value for the price.“

“Coconuts is a pretty great spot, I’m fond of their fish tacos since it is grilled fish instead of super breaded fish. I will say it was odd to me that they close by 8pm though being in such a busy shopping center and the fact that like 30 people came in at 7:30pm but maybe they’ve tried being open later before and it really dies down after that.“

“I used to work right down the road in the 90s and was always glad to call this one of my favorite haunts. Returning to AZ after all these years and eating here again I was both pleasantly surprised and disappointed; the fish was every bit as delicious as I remembered with the portions being quite a bit larger than I recalled, the condiments, however were a huge let down with neither the malt vinegar, tartar nor cocktail sauces anywhere near the quality they used to be. Bottom line, great fish, shrimp and chips, but rather nasty condiments.“

“Cool spot didn't get a chance to really dive in most of the menu but the catfish was a solid taste. Give me a little more season may can get a 10 out of me.. but diffenitly a place to revisit.“

“Awesome every time. Nice and hot“

“We are there pretty much on a weekly basis. No misses yet. Fish and Chips are always on point and the service is fast and friendly! See you next week!!“

“I love Pete's, and I recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick and cheap meal that will fill you up. While the fish may not be the most top of the line, their red sauce makes up for it. However, this location wasn't the cleanest when I went, and there were some unpleasant odors in the dining area. With that being said, the staff on duty when I went were super friendly and fast and had great customer service. Additionally, there were a bunch of cats hanging out there which was super awesome and kept the birds away.“

“Mandy’s is good! We came all the way from Maricopa and were very pleased with the food here. Fresh, hot and taste amazing, we ordered the Mandy’s special with whiting fish, shrimp and chips, fried zucchini, and two sweet potato pies. Everything was delicious!! We will be back!!“
