If you ask my wife, this place is a 5-star restaurant all day, every day. I suspect her judgment may be slightly influenced by childhood nostalgia. Ed's is a hole-in-the-wall joint that knows exactly what it is and has absolutely no interest in being anything else. What are you going to get here? Fried fish, fried shrimp, fried chicken, fried fries--fried, fried, fried. Is that a bad thing? Of course not. People rave about the house-made red sauce and ranch, and for good reason. The food is simple, comforting, and consistently satisfying. Part of the appeal, however, is the character. The service isn't trying to make you feel like the most important person in the world. The tables and chairs look like they've been there since the 1980s. You can still play Cruis'n USA in the arcade. It's the kind of place that feels frozen in time. While it may not be my personal favorite restaurant, I genuinely appreciate places like Ed's. What it may lack in culinary ambition, it more than makes up for in authenticity and charm. In an era where every restaurant seems to be chasing trends, Ed's simply keeps doing what it has always done and people continue to love it for that reason. read more

Today's Customer Appreciation event was amazing! After a wonderful church service we headed over to Avondale. It was meant for us to dine in because after we placed our order, an employee who was serving as hostess, greeter and crowd control at the door, pointed out an empty booth. The parking lot was staging for the DJ, vendors, low riders and outside dining. We parked across the street and got in the fast moving line. It was nice to see so much support for this business. We ordered Fish & Chips, Shrimp & Chips and Catfish & Chips. They were rolling with getting the orders out and everything came out hot. The staff and other customers made for a great first dine in experience. The food was delicious. Yes, I brought bananas to enjoy with my food. I'm from the islands. :-) It was filling so we had take home for later and hubby has a meal for tomorrow. I don't eat shrimp but he said they were good. Both fish were tasty. You won't be disappointed with the catfish. read more

I have been hearing about this place for over 15 years. Today I decided to order from DoorDash. The food portions are great. The food was decent. I will say that I would've been happier. Had I gotten what I ordered which was zucchini instead of french fries and I paid the extra fee with my fish, but all I received was french fries. The french fries come with no salt, which was fine with me the fish however the batter is just plain there's no real seasoning to it. I also had two pieces of crab and two scallops, which were very good. I would go back and get those. I will say the food seems to be consistent from what I've heard of people read more

Ed's Fish and Chips was so good! The fried food was fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. The zucchini was definitely my favorite -- perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. Everything came out hot and delicious with great portions too. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Used to eat here and the food is pretty good. There are many fish and chips places around here to eat at and all are decent but Ed's has just priced themselves out of me going back. read more

Good simple food burgers fish shrimp fried burritos fairly priced I think I'm going to go get something right now from Ed's .Eds is a neighborhood restaurant in Avondale Az and everyone there knows Ed's read more

Love Ed's I drive from surprise to get their food. I love their fried zucchini and the fam loves the shrimp and chips.

I absolutely love this place! I've been going here since I was a child. It is family owned and has been for many years. Sadly, the mother has passed which led to service not being as great, which is expected during such a hard time but obviously is way better now. The food is amazing, I always get fried zucchini whenever I go. The fact they still make their sauces is amazing and the food is always hot and fresh. I also love the fact they still have the pinball machines inside! One of my favorite restaurants read more

I loved the food! Fish and chips are very tasty. Get the tartar sauce. Deluxe burger was top notch, too. Restaurant is nice and spacious- decor is from another generation, so the time portal feel is awesome. Look forward to becoming a regular. read more

Good food! Prices are a lil high but over all enjoyed the food more than I do at petes.

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit... what a great surprise. Before I start, it's important to set up a basic- if odd- fact: in Arizona, fish and chips is ALWAYS a square fish patty. It's not like in other places where you get a chunk of fish that's breaded and fried. Here, It's always a patty. Ok. Continue. Yell at me or hate me but my wife and I moved to Arizona from California. Sorry. We love fish and chips and had given up on Arizona. We've had nothing but horrible, bordering-on-inedible versions from Tonopah to Superior with everything in between. This place changed our mind. Ed's is an excellent version of the classic. Why? Because they serve it up ultra fresh and they bread it themselves every day. The coating is light and crispy, browned to a perfect degree. The fish is light and fresh, and obviously cod. The flavor is excellent- almost like the delectable versions you get at seaside towns. It's really good. Second, the "chips" (the British call French fries "chips) are particularly good. Ed's has chosen a particular kind of French fry that captures the essence of a British "chip" perfectly. The fries are not greasy, they're chunky, and the flavor is excellent. They come with- of course- ketchup. Third, Ed's has a ton of combinations so it's ideal for everyone. Fish and shrimp, fish and scallops, oysters and shrimp, and they come in a wide array of combos: 2 pieces with shrimp and fries, 1 piece with scallops, 2 pieces of just fish... and dozens of others- something for everyone. Last, their other fried items are really good. If you're a scallops person, their fried scallops are really good. Same with mushrooms, shrimp, and lots of other choices. Their breading is different on each one so it's not just a vat of the same thing. My only qualm was that their zucchini wasn't my favorite. It was a bit tough and dry. But they were still decent. Ask for tartar sauce because the fish comes with a slightly spicy, tomato-based sauce which is actually very tasty. But I prefer tartar. Also ask for malt vinegar because, well, it's required with fish n chips. Ed's customer service is stellar. It's family owned and has been here for 40 years and it shows. They're very customer oriented. The manager gave us some oysters and scallops to try on the house. Talk about a rarity. The place is in a humble and dated strip mall but it's fine. Avondale is no Paradise Valley, but don't let that stop you. The place is huge inside and what struck me immediately was its cleanliness. You could do lunch or dinner here and have a good experience. It has, of course, a very casual, "vintage" vibe, so there aren't any linen tablecloths, but the food is why you come here. There's some pinball machines in the "arcade" area and lots of dated wood paneling and old photos, so it's the perfect vibe for an excellent version of classic fish and chips. You'll enjoy every bite and it's the best we've found anywhere in Arizona. Wish I could give it 4 1/2 stars. read more

Long wait and horrible food! Absolutely nothing was good about Ed's Fish and Chips. It is located in a sketchy part of Avondale and hard to find a parking spot. Go there at your own risk. read more

That fish looks like McDonalds fish made for a bun. Doesn't look good and have not heard good just over priced.

My Husband and I have been trying new restaurants all over the West Valley. Tonight we tried Ed's Fish and Chips and we were so impressed! You can literally smell the food cooking when you walk in and the restaurant is very clean. We ordered the 10 piece and 7 piece shrimp and chips. We also tried the fried zucchini which was fresh and delicious! The owner Mark told us that the shrimp is breaded fresh daily. Mark also told us that the restaurant has been there for 40 years but that he just took it over last July. The shrimp had great flavor and it tasted fresh not frozen. The french fries were cooked perfectly. The staff is very friendly and the owner Mark was very welcoming. We usually eat everything on site but tonight we came home with some food. The portions are generous. Well worth the drive from Glendale or anywhere in the valley. We cannot wait to go back next Friday. We will be trying the catfish next. We highly recommend this place. Follow them on Instagram. read more

Definitely better than the Pete's in Tolleson, especially the burgers and chicken sandwich

BEWARE !!! I should have read the reviews before going. $35.52 waste of money!!! Ordered a chicken sandwich for the person was very disappointed no taste at all. Very bland. I had what they called shrimp & chips. Pictures below. No seasoning I got up to ask for cocktail sauce the guy didn't even know what that was he said they have white sauce/red sauce & tarter sauce so I asked for ketchup he asked for the container that I already had & he would refill it back up. Mind you I had just gotten my food. So he gave me 2 containers of what was supposedly be ketchup but was so thin & watered down. OMG!! It did t even have any taste to it. Also asked the guy did they have Wi-Fi he was getting ready to give me the password but the young girl at the counter said they don't have it. But it clearly showed up on my phone. And I asked for a to go box the young lady said do you want a paper bag or plastic bag. I was like how will I put my food in there. She said I will show you she came to the table with a piece of looked like waxed paper & covered my food then put it in a brown paper bag. I will stick to what I know. MANDY'S I will never come back to this establishment again. Most horrible no tasty food I've ever had. The only thing good about this place was the Fries. read more

Have been coming here since i was a child, came in and was shocked that the workers didn't greet us like they normally would and then found out that the owners changed! The food was still good and the prices changed slightly but was such a bummer to see that the owners changed. The two working the counter didn't even say hi or welcome in and kept whispering to each other and the workers (who were not the OG's) were no where to be seen. Hope they can start treating everyone much nicer and more professional, Ed's is a staple in the community hope today was just an off day for the workers. read more

Really good hangover/comfort food. Veggie combo my favorite . Plus can't go wrong with the fish.

Love love love Ed's !!! Once I tried Ed's fish & chips I will never go back to Pete's fish & chips . Ed's taste so much better . They are always friendly .:) read more

The food is good, but the service is amazing. Ashley was so accommodating. And the prices are real friendly.

So the fish is square frozen patties like Pete's but only tough and chewy. The shrimp is terrible. Just mostly over cooked and no taste or resemblance of fish.The lady at the front was very nice and she came and asked how it was and when explained she just replied I am Not the owner or anything. The family setting is nice. It's extremely overpriced. The portions are a good size if it was edible. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff. I purchased a three-piece fish and substituted onion rings for fries. Also ordered the deep fried cauliflower. Food came out quick and hot! The fish was mild and the cauliflower fresh. Way too much food for one person. Ed's makes their own red and white sauce. Not what I expected but tasty. This place is homey and popular. I will be back. read more

Have been coming here ever since I can remember it is pretty good I will say I love the red sauce. It can be a bit bland to those used to seasoning but some sauce definitely helps. The chicken plate and burritos are delicious. The service is amazing, workers are nice and often check in on you. They know my family well and chat with us when we visit. I will say for a while the food was different and went through a rough patch but recently it is back to what I am used to. A small little place that you can tell has been around for a while and family owned, usually nice and quiet. read more

Friendly family owned. I'm addicted. Love everything from here. Always hot and fresh cooked

Have been coming here since I was a kid and is always pipping hot. I enjoy this sit down fish and chips.

I read the reviews in Yelp and then my friend insisted they are so awesome. It is OK. I love mom and pop places, but they are not really making any food. They are cooking and frying up frozen food. Yes, they make they own sauces (white sauce is not tarter) that is why they got 2 stars. Sauce was not bad at all. Yes, they are a deal to feed a family. read more

I absolutely loved this restaurant and it's a hidden gem! They have the best service and everyone is welcoming and friendly! There's plenty of seating and parking. Their restaurant is clean and so are their bathrooms. Their fish and chips is definitely a winner! They also have many food options to pick from so make sure you give their menu a good look over. In the back they also have some arcades so make sure you check those out! I will definitely be back with my family and friends! read more

We were looking for a new fish and chips place and we did not find it here. The service was good however. The fish were squared breading. The was a faint suggestion of fish. I tried the shrimp and it was breaded so heavily that when I peeled it off the was a piece of shrimp. No evidence of a whole piece of shrimp. This should be named Ed's fried breaded crumbs. It was awful to have a napkin full of breadcrumbs and hands that needed to be washed to clean the grease off. read more

This was sooooo different.....customer service was great.... food was ridiculously expensive for the quality... And it was no taste.... Full of bread... I'm was rise in seafood..... 3 out 10.... Never ever again... I'm sorry I more to say..... Who is making the decision to distribute this food that's coming out of this business its too cheap. It's gross and they know it. The fries are ok.... But you can't do frozen seafood like you do frozen burgers and fries if you want quality taste, all of that food is fresh out of a box into the grease. .... They don't batter nor season. I was surprised how fast I got my food. I should have known something was wrong.... the oil they use is ok..... the fresh catfish was good read more

I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. Yearssssssssss since I was little. It's a family owned hole in the wall place but it's delicious. I always get their burritos and they're bomb! I also get their fries and red sauce is amazing. They now also give you free refills on the red sauce. The fried zucchini is also amazing. I definitely recommend! read more

The shrimp was barely there it was mostly breading. There was no season in the batter. Nothing had any flavor at all even the zucchini was questionable. The service was wonderful. I will have to say the only thing different that my boyfriend had the knee was fried oysters and he got sick. read more

Great service but a little under seasoned. But that's just my opinion. Probably won't be back.

First time here. Visiting Arizona from California To visit my girlfriend Double Dee. We stayed in a downtown Phoenix hotel and Dee *had* to have shrimp. We searched long and hard downtown all the while she'd keep mentioning this place in Goodyear called Ed's so we went there the next day (even though we did find her shrimp the night before too). I ordered a couple of hotdogs while Double Dee ordered fish, shrimp and fried zucchini. It warms my heart watching her eat. Never stand in the way of a hungry woman. read more

The fish is like something you'd get from a grocery store freezer and just warm it up. No seasoning AT ALL, on fish or fries. Just three blocks of some sort of pre cooked processed fish. GREATLY dissatisfied. 3pc fish and chips for $17 waste of money; NEVER again. read more

Sunday Mother in law wanted fish and she wanted the catfish at Flavors of Louisiana, but they were closed on Sundays. Used yelp to find a Fish and Chips and Ed's came up. It's the closest and thought I would give it a try. The young man tending the register was very polite and attentive. The others cooking seemed like something was bothering them or having a bad day without a smile or saying hello to customers who are keeping them employed. I'll give 5 stars for the great customer service of the young man, and i would give no stars to one of cooks who needs to work on true customer service, quality, and price of the food. The food is over priced and the quality is not very good. read more
