    I was the first customer here. lol at the floor and counter area. No excuse to have a dirty restaurant.
    Susie G.

    Dirty restaurant, chips so greasy I could not eat them. Fish was ok not a proper portion. If this is touted as proper fish n chips, that's a very sad statement. I am from England and would never eat here again. Same story over and over every-time the owner opens a new restaurant under a different name. The last failure was the chippy and the great British food company, now the Brit.

    Ordered the poutine. Chips were perfect, a good traditional chip. Gravy was good but could have been a tad hotter. Cheese curds chunks were too big and too cold. They never had a chance to melt and get soft with the gravy. There were no knives to cut them up so I had to tear them apart with the fork and my fingers. If the dish had been built better with smaller chucks of curds would have been great. I'll be back to try the fish.

    Came here with two others for lunch. The place is in a somewhat unkempt part of town, but plenty of parking. The inside is pretty small, and doesn't offer any seating. There's a few tables outside, so just know you may have to eat in the car or outside. Their employees were very friendly, told us about the options of fish, and other items on the menu. Very helpful and courteous. We ordered two of the cod, and one Haddock. I actually preferred the cod, even though the haddock is a couple bucks more. It's a little pricey, about $20/person, so just be aware. I saw two different people pull up and leave, presumably they didn't like the price on the window. The piece of fish you do get is pretty large, and they give you a good amount of chips. The fish was great, nice crisp batter on the outside, moist and flaky on the inside. The chips (fries) were fresh, but the fish was definitely the standout. They make their own tartar sauce, and apparently their curry, which we ordered based on others' recommendations. Overall it was good, we'll definitely stop by when we're on the area and in the mood for more fish n chips. I heard some people complaining that the fish was bland, but that's not really the case. I think they expect you to dip it in the tartar, etc, so I'd imagine eating it plain may not be great. If you don't want the sauce or anything, I suppose some salt/pepper may be needed. No complaints about that, really.

    We came in just before it opened for a Saturday lunch. The place is clean and simple. From the door, you walk to the cashier (about 2 paces) and order. Menu is posted behind the cashier and cooled drinks are laid out to the right side. After you order, you either wait inside until your number is called or you can wait outside where there are tables and chairs. They cook your food after you order so you get it piping hot. The fish and chips come with tartar sauce but you can order sides with it. I would recommend the fish and chips particularly the Atlantic cod and the haddock. The fish is moist and flaky with a light batter that comes out slightly crispy. The chips are alright, nothing spectacular, but they go with the unlimited malt vinegar that's available at the counter. For the sides, we tried the mushy peas which tasted like lentils or mung beans. The curry sauce is also good with either the fish or chips. The same can be said about the tartar sauce. The fish and chips were placed on paper takeout containers while the hot mushy peas and curry sauce were on styrofoam cups. They offer compostable forks for the peas. Service was great. The staff were very courteous and helpful. So, all in all, if you want no-nonsense fish and chips, try Codswallop. It's pretty good.

    Incredible food, passionate staff, great location! We have had our eyes on Codswallop for a while, awaiting their official opening and today was the day. The service was fast even with a small line, the staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and the prices were fair. The environment is very family friendly & a great place for the whole family to come enjoy the sunshine & a good meal. We ordered the fish and chips, cod and haddock meals. The cod with chips is $17 and the haddock with chips is $19. We also got a side of the curry sauce for $4. Tartar sauce comes with your order of fish and chips. Both options were incredible & we finished eating them in a matter of minutes. We carried out & headed to WestFax for $2 off our first pint! They are running the promotion until June 22nd, so make sure to stop at both! The location is ideal, directly on Colorado Ave and just a quick stop off of Cimarron/24 via the 31st street exit. It is the perfect hearty comfort food to enjoy after a day of hiking in Garden of the Gods or wandering around OCC. We will certainly be back and are so glad to welcome Codswallop to the neighborhood. Cheers!

    I stopped by while in town from Denver for work as I love authentic fish and chips. Codswallop did not disappoint! The fish was perfectly cooked with a light crispy batter and the curry sauce on the side took me right back to England! While I enjoyed it with traditional malt vinegar, it was the curry sauce that I dipped everything in. Well done! Can't wait to return to try the mushy peas and beans. There was so much food in the serving that I will have to go back with friends in order to share all of the sides. Authentic fish and chips at a great value with friendly and enthusiastic staff. BONUS- great collaboration with local businesses and I was able to take my receipt to West Fax Brewing Springs to enjoy my take out fish with a discounted IPA!

    A fish I couldn't finish had a upset stomach too unfortunately

    Shop was very dirty looked like no one has ever cleaned the base boards. I ordered cod fish and chips. They unfortunately gave me soggy fries fish was "okay" but completely unseasoned and I'm pretty sure was frozen was a bit rubbery. On a scale of 1 to GREAT BRITAIN fish and chips it was a 5. Work nearby and I don't think I'll get it again. Maybe another day I'll try a steak ale pie or spice bag but sadly I'm a bit let down. Was looking to try it for months

    Greasy fish, soggy french fries, only good think was the tarter sauce, which was only served in a small teaspoon cup.

We noticed that it was happy hour, so chose two beverages that were listed, and they were out of one of them. My brother ordered a tap beer, and they never brought it out, we waited quite a while and then he went back inside and got it. It was a little bit confusing, since they had been so adamant to go figure out what table we wanted, and then they never brought out what we ordered. We probably would have ordered several drinks but since it took so long we decided to move on. The (I think) owner was outside, tending to the patio, and enjoying the music. It was a little overbearing, but I think he was just passionate, giving gifts to the children and being hospitable. The best part was the very good live music, and the large water they brought to our table. I also enjoyed the people watching since it's right on the street.
