Best chips I've had from any place in town. The fish was okay, not as good as the chips. 4/5 only because the fish was small portions

We stopped on our way to the airport for one final fish and chips before leaving Newfoundland. I have to say Codfathers was delicious. They were super fast getting the order out and the food and staff was fantastic!

We decided to try out Codfather Fish and Chips in Paradise Newfound and labrador, for a good seafood lunch. We didnt get it here!! Parking lot can be difficult to get in and out of due to its proximity to a busy intersection. The lot itself is a mess with potholes and mud everywhere and no defined parking areas. Access to the dining area is through a small entrance door that would be difficult for wheelchair access IMO. We went to the service counter and were completely ignored by the lady at the counter who after a few minutes went back into the kitchen - we should have left then, but unfortunately didn't. When she did return she was nice enough and apologized for being "busy". We were the only people in the restaurant at the time. My wife, a retired military cook of 23 years, noted that the fish and chips were precooked and sitting on racks in the kitchen. She said this was something that they used to do and then give the fish and chips a quick fry to freshen it up before serving - difference being was the fish was that it was supposed to be kept chilled and not on a rack in a hot kitchen. This way the fish and frys would be crispy for the customer - apparently not the case at this restaurant - when I got my order the fish was crispy but the fries were oil sogged and not very hot. The fish batter was good, but the fish was very dry and tasteless - and I will say the worst deepfried fish I've ever had - and trust me, I've tried a lot!! I grew up in a cod fishing family - this was either not cod or very old cod that has been frozen for some time. I only ate one piece of the three I ordered, which were pretty small portions anyway. My wife also noted that the lady that served us was also getting our plates ready, and that neither of the two people visible in the back wore gloves or hair nets - the latter came into play since my last two pieces of fish came with complimentary grey hairs on them - i had already eaten a piece of fish and most of my fries up to noticing that - gross. My wife ordered the fried "Scallop" meal. When she received her plate she opened up the breaded "scallop" and found it to be processed fishiy something, but definitely not scallops. I did tell her that she should have known what she was going to get when she ordered it!! Lol. My wife did bring up her dissatisfaction with the server, who was adamant that the "scallops" were legit and became very argumentative, at which point my wife told her that she would have her fries and be fine. The server did offer a different meal but we declined the offer. After we finished, I tidied the table and thanked our server, who flat out ignored me. I thought this was funny since I was very polite during the whole interaction. So, in short, poor atmosphere, poor food prep safety, very poor customer service and overall bad experience. I really hope this helps people decide on whether or not they dine here, and what I also wish for is that if the owners and staff are reading this - you could have had a repeat customer - I love fish and chips, but right now, unfortunately not yours.
Parking: Location of the lot is can be difficult to get into/out of due to its proximity to a major intersection. The lot is not very well maintained and is full of mud and potholes.
Wheelchair accessibility: Very small entry door with a lip - I'm not in a wheelchair, but I wouldn't call this an accessible restaurant.

Last time we ordered here they forgot all the gravy on every order even though we paid for it. This time we said please do not forget the gravy this time. Well, I assumed that would be enough but I should've opened the bag and checked before driving back to the office because once again we paid for gravy on all 3 meals and never received it on any of them. Once I understand,mistakes happen... but the second time when we even said PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE GRAVY. Ridiculous. I give up. This used to be our go to spot every week at the office but we will be exploring new options after today

This was the first meal I bought out in 2024 for myself mid April, it offered all the comfort I was expecting and will be returning again.
I had ordered two 2pc fish n chips ...nearly $50..got it home..the chips are soggy with grease and smaller cut than before..the fish is black on ends of the batter..the batter is missing on bottom of portions..the fish is dry and looks to be cooked some other dayI called the two ladies about my order which i had just picked up..told her the above..she brushed it off ..said frys are smaller and cant get crispey..i drove back to get the replacement meals which was passed to me as soon as i entered..she wished me LUCK....i said shouldnt need luck at $50 the replacement is just as bad..i asked for the ower to call..still waiting..keep yer money..also when called back to state no improvement..the woman was not friendly at all took my info and hung up on me while i was speaking..guess theres a reason why the lots always empty..dont waste your hard earned money at this place..i will inform everyone i meet of this hole..be warned
