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. read more

LOVED IT! The flavor was good and paired well with the curry sauce. It was seasoned well and not too spicy at all. I do wish the fries were a tad more crispy, but they were solid. Seemed like they were hand-cut fries. The chicken is not the same as what is used in typical spice bags. Regardless, staff was friendly and helpful and the food was good. Portion size was surprisingly filling. I would stop here again and get another bag! read more

Codswallop - Spice bag - Fish & Chips Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

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. read more

Very nice piece of fish the fries though left a bit to be desired. Frustrating as good as the fish was you would hope the fries would be better. It's worth the hour drive down there for anyone in Denver to go there. My wife loves the scraps as they call them or crackling as we would call them in England . Service was prompt they seem to cook to order. And it was quiet in there read more

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. read more

OMG. Incredible fish and chips. No notes. Also trying the steak and ale pie. Lovely friendly service as well. read more

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. read more

Best part of our order was the tarter sauce. Fish was ok. Some was crappy, some sorta not. Did not like the soggy fries. First time having mushy peas and we did like them. Lunch for two (with tip) was $50. Yikes! read more

Cute place and nice staff! The fish is good but the chips are not. They were barely cooked, soggy and very oily. The curry sauce if fantastic! read more

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! read more

No frills place, but damn their haddock and chips is amazing. Crispy and not soggy. O was able to split one of these with my partner. We left feeling happy and satisfied with the authentic fish and chips meal. The owner(I think?) is from Dublin and warm and friendly. We'll be back! read more

So disappointed. Crisp of batter good, but the cod was flavorless. Batter not cooked all the way through, fries were floppy and greased. We just spent $40 on 1.5 meals and wasted the money. Slaw was good. Hard pass on going back even though we just live down the street. read more

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 read more

Lovely haddock and chips, not the same chips as we used to get in England (they have the skin on here) but I love them like that anyway.

Great fish and chips too. I have a suggestion though. You need a better way to give ketchup to the people eating in. Handing someone a couple of packets of ketchup does not cut it. Maybe have a pump dispenser with little cups or even let the customer pump into the fries. Also, you need a better way of salting the fish and chips - those big pieces of salt do not work - maybe have some little packets we can pick up ourselves. You guys seemed very busy when we were in at 2:00 and it was frustrating asking for more ketchup and not feeling like there was a way to get more salt. I will be back it was very good and I loved the real potato fries. I do agree with some that said the place could use some cleaning. read more

They're smashing it with the fish and chips. If your after authentic fish and chips done the way the English or Irish, this is the spot. We had the cod, haddock and poutaine. They were perfect. TRY THEM!!!!!!! read more

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! read more

Was glad to see an English establishment in Colorado Springs. I ordered the fish and chips and the fish was somewhat on the greasy side and lacked some flavor. The fries were somewhat greasy and weren't that great. I understand this is the second day they've been open so I will give them a chance to improve. The price could be lower to for what I did get. There is no indoor seating available and it is a small place. Staff we're friendly. read more

These guys are awesome! The first bites of fish take you right back home! Fries were nice but the fish stole the show. Need to try dipping the fries in curry sauce next trip. It was quick, tidy, and the team was super friendly. read more

Excellent service and great walk-in fish and chips shop. Fast service and option to get malt vinegar and salt on items. Really fresh chips and prepared correctly. Cod and Haddock were fried at the right temperature and perfectly crisp and full of flavor. Benches inside and tables outside . Friendly staff and amazing brown and tartar sauces. Sausage rolls were crispy and flaky and well seasoned sausages inside. Try everything and you'll enjoy these favorites. Wish they had a fish & chips at MLS soccer pitch in Commerce City, CO. read more

Yum Yum Yum! I ordered the Cod fish and chips and it was so fresh and the batter was perfectly crunchy and light and just exactly what Fish and Chips is supposed to taste like. I also ordered the Potain and it was delicious as well. Try the curry sauce, I love curry and this was some of the best curry I have ever had! I like to dip my FF in the curry, I had enough sauce left over that the next day I made some chicken curry. I have a Cabin in Green Mountain Falls so I don't live in this area full time, But this place could actually convince me to pack up and move there full time, I'm already craving another trip back! Go try this place out! You won't be dissapointed. read more

Codswallop - Fish and chips. Very generous portions - Fish & Chips Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

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

Hands down, the best fish-n-chips in town. You get a HUGE piece of fish; flavorful, crispy and proper cooked. Their fries are hand cut, I prefer mine crispy and they accommodate if you ask. You get more than your money's worth at Codswallup. Oh. If you have an inkling sir something sweet, get their Sticky Toffee Pudding served with a dallop of core scream and a bourbon Carmel sauce drizzle over. Holy effin cow. It is SOOOOO good. It's sinful. read more

Just a little too greasy for me, though maybe that's traditional British food. Love their entrepreneurial spirit. They're connected to the British Pub opening up near Wiedner Field sometime in September. read more

What an experience. Simple and well executed. Great staff amazing food. How have I not had mushy peas before? Haddock was unbelievable and huge. read more

Was so excited for this to open! Went in today and the fish definitely needs more seasoning. Salt at the least. I also got the poutine and the gravy was flavorless. They just opened so I'll come back, maybe they're still trying to figure things out. There's not much seating, 3 small tables outside. Inside looks unfinished. As of now, Jack Quinn's fish n chips and poutine has more flavor. read more
