Dining area needed some attention we had to ask for our table to be cleaned. Staff was warm and welcoming quick to assist in getting the table cleaned. I ordered the chicken and chips. Chicken had a funny grilled mark look but over cooked and dry. It's obvious not a place for chicken so dis not mention anything Dining companion had the fish n chips. Pieces much larger then our usual Bothell location still fresh and hot read more

Adequately MID. Decent, not terrible, not great. They advertise their KIDD Valley Burgers with a big sign outside and frankly that and the white chowder was the better of the things I tried on this particular visit. Ranking: 1 - White Chowder 2 - Kidd Valley Burger 3 - Fish n' chips I would probably go back only for the white chowder and possibly the burger. Then again, I've had better burgers elsewhere. Staff was friendly enough, the girl working there had an "I'd rather be elsewhere" face. The young man had a better disposition and greeted us. Happy Eating, - Fj read more

We love going to Ivars in Everett. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful. But the prices are getting out of hand. We got two 5 piece cod and 2 fountain drinks and it was $48. The pieces of fish have gotten smaller. Mine fish was over cooked a little on the burned side. Disappointed. read more

We were greeted as we entered the restaurant and helped right away. The woman who took our order, explain the menu gave us some ideas. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The food was very delicious. I got one fish taco and one shrimp taco and I will definitely order them again. The fish and chips were delicious and of course, the famous clam chowder was amazing. We will be back. read more

I mean... Come on? If you didn't grow up in the Pacific Northwest, allow me to introduce you to Ivars! Go here for an amazing cup of chowder! Childhood memories of getting cups of chowder at the mukilteo ferry- nothing quite hits the spot like a good bowl of chowder on a terribly stormy and overcast day by the sea. They have several versions of Ivars too- there is the basic one where you get your fish chips and chowder and they have a very nice fancy restaurant on the pier in Seattle. So, if you have a desire for seafood- one of their restaurants will most likely fit your needs within your budget. read more

Ivar's has been my go to for fish n chips for years. Love the white chowder. And there's variety, fish, jumbo shrimp, clams etc. the Caesar salad is well flavored. I only wish they were more consistent. Sometimes the fish is cooked perfectly. Other times it's over cooked and dry, it even seems like the coating isn't the same light batter. But, I keep going because when it's good, it's YUM! I have been to many other locations but I go to this location the most so whether or not other locations have the same inconsistency I couldn't say. read more

We decided to pickup dinner from Ivar's tonight we've been doing that for years. We went with the Barge which is a fair amount of fish and chips and a couple of cups of clam chowder.I also selected oysters and chips. Ivar's food has always been consistently good we been to other locations and it's been the same there. Nothing fancy but good fill you up food. What's nice also is we haven't had any errors with our orders over the years, when we do dine in the restaurant is clean and well staffed. read more

The pictures, posted by the owner, show this as a waterfront restaurant. Multiple pictures for this location show that but it's a dumpy fast food restaurant in the middle of the city. We got here not long before closing, visiting out of town and because it was late didn't have a lot of options. Decided to try the food anyway and it was horrible. I ordered the halibut fish and chips and I couldn't eat it, I've never had such hard chewy fish, was like chewing on plastic. Five of us went there and no one was happy with their food. read more

Ivar's is my favorite place to go for seafood, because it told me that I actually like seafood, because before I had Ivar's, I would never touch a fish or clam ever. Anyway, it was awfully quiet in there when I went, usually I hear some noise, but there was absolutely nothing except me and my family talking. I can't say anything about the service, it was just "Can I get your order?" And "Here is your order." No chitter-chatter from our server. Ivar's is really good, I recommend it! read more

Ivar's Seafood Bar - Half eaten Bowl of White. - Seafood Near Me - Everett, Washington

We hadn't been to an Ivar's since 2021 because, generally, the food quality had really gone downhill. Recently, hoping that things had improved, we ordered takeout from the 41st Street location in Everett. The staff was great and very nice. Unfortunately, the food was absolutely disgusting. The fish was greasy and had the consistency of rubber, as though it had been under heat lamps for hours. The french fries were soggy and drowning in oil. And even the White Clam Chowder was only so-so. We just threw most of it away since it was inedible. I wish this hadn't been the case because we used to really enjoy Ivar's fish & chips...but I think this was the last time we'll be taking a chance on them. read more

Ivar's Seafood Bar - Five 4 Piece Fish 'N Chips, Clams 'N Chips, clam chowder - Seafood Near Me - Everett, Washington

We stopped here on a recommendation. We are from out of town. We got the grilled salmon plate, kids fish n chips and their original clam chowder. This was prob one of the worst meals and cost about $40. The salmon was super dry and hard, flavorless. Coleslaw super sweet. Corn bread - the only good thing. Fish n chips - not good and crispy. Breading sucks. Clam chowder is quite flavorless with a thick paint-like liquid texture. It was odd. Man we felt like we wasted money. We ended up tossing half of everything. During pick up, the servers were very nice though. But I was most disappointed in the grilled salmon. read more

Here for quick lunch as we were going to visit a friend in Everett. The location was easy to find. The place is spacious and they use regular rather than paper plates to eat from. We ordered the clam chowder in a bread bowl, and the grilled halibut and grilled salmon entrees. Brings back memories every time we visit an Ivar's. This is our first visit to this location. Service is friendly and quick. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but man oh man. I Came in on a beautiful and lovely Saturday evening, the food was delicious and fresh. It was made to perfection (thank you to the cook). There was this young gentleman Samir running the front of house like a boss! The way he talks to people just shows me this kid was raised right! He immediately acknowledged my wife and l as we walked in, asked us how our days were, and just all in all made dinner for my wife and I 10x better. Finding respect and hard work like Samir has in the food industry is hard nowadays. THIS is the ivars location you'll want to go to for impeccable food and service!! I'll definitely be coming back as MUCH as I can. read more

Reviews recommended IVAR's as one of the best Washington fast food chains, so we gave it a try for lunch. We got the original fish and chips after going back and forth deciding between the salmon and combination options, which I observed to be a popular order when we were dining near the ordering counter. The original fish and chips came out hot and fresh. We loved them. Our friends recommended the clam chowder but we didn't have the appetite built up to try that one. But I'd trust their recommendation and go for the clam chowder if you can. Before we left, a worker came by and personally delivered mints and hand wipes to each customer. That put a nice personal touch on the fast food experience and left a good taste in our hearts after a good taste in our mouths :) read more

We ordered the seafood combo and the scallops. The clams and the cod were both way overcooked and there was only one small piece of cod in the combo. Kind of a disappointment since I've been to Ivar's many times and my girlfriend has heard me yammer on for years about it. We drove up from the SF Bay Area and it was her first time to Seattle and of course, to Ivar's. She doesn't want to go back. read more

Ivar's Seafood Bar - Both the cod and the clams overcooked and one dinky piece of cod. - Seafood Near Me - Everett, Washington

Silly me thought this was a full service restaurant- it's not, it's a semi-fast food restaurant. Once I altered my thinking, I ordered the cod 3 piece meal & berry cheesecake. Robert ordered scallops & chowder & we took fish-n-chips back to Eddie @ the hotel. The fish is thin pieces- like fish fingers over a basket of fries. The scallops were small, fried. Thankfully we weren't too hungry- because these meals normally wouldn't have filled the boys. The fish was tasty. Clam chowder good & the scallops were good too. Service was pretty fast & they accommodated us splitting an order half dine in & half to go. read more

Great seafood! Service is awesome! Samir is exceptional, we come in often and he's usually always there, a very respectful and kind young gentleman who always goes above and beyond for his customers, if he's there, you're in great hands! Thank you Samir and Ivar's crew for best food and service! read more

I love Ivers chowder and garlic vinegar. I also love the breading they use. This location is pretty consistent with hot fresh food and chowder that's the perfect consistency. They now have online ordering with texts to let you know when your food is ready. It's great and very convenient. They have a big parking lot so there's always parking even at lunch time. read more

Hello. My name is Eric and I love Ivar's clam strips and clam chowder. For over 20 years, anyone I travel with into Washington has had to deal with my obsession with Ivar's clam strips and clam chowder. I first discovered my love of all things Ivar's way back when they had a food court location at Bellis Fair mall. I now have to trek quite a bit further to get my fix. Others enjoy their lightly breaded fish, but I come for the overly battered clam strips. Stay clam everyone. Since I find it usually isn't enough, I also order the clam chowder. I prefer the white, because tomatoes and clam chowder should never be in the same pot/bowl. As their prices continue to rise, I hesitantly only offer 4 stars as the value has gone down. Fortunately for them, I will continue to spend my money at any Ivar's I encounter! read more

Dropped by the walk-up Ivar's down by the Mukilteo ferry dock. There is no substitute for going inside the restaurant and sitting down for a great dinner. So, do that if you can. It's great. The grab and go is good though! I had the three piece fish and chips and Red Clam Chowder. They were all hot and warmed me up on a cold day. The chowder and chips were especially good. Their chowder is absolutely awesome. The chips were a bit crispy on the outside and what seemed to be tad under cooked and a bit wet (not moist, wet). But I think this was just a one off. They've always been great. It's been awhile since I've been to Ivar's. Way too long. I need to go more often. The outside is a good business move. It was helpful to me tonight. Yet, if you've not been inside and sat down, I highly recommend it. But, really I recommend you get it however, and when ever, you can get it. read more

Stopped in today for fish and chips at Ivar's. Food was served fast and hot. Five piece True Cod and a piping hot bowl of clam chowder. Restaurant was 2/3rds full, tables and chairs were clean. My only complaint is that it would be nice if they had a better choice of drinks. Nobody drinks diet soda anymore. It's all sugar free soda. $15.99 + tax. Proving once again Ivar's is my favorite Fish & Chips restaurants. read more

I personally am a fan of good fish and chips so I was really looking forward to eating at Ivars - Seattles renowned fish and chips restaurant. Stopped by this place on our way back from Mount Baker. We ordered the original fish and chips & cajun fish and chips. While the cajun fish and chips were great the original ones lacked some seasoning. The fish tasted fresh and melted in the mouth but it defintely lacked some flavors and seasoning. Food is priced reasonably and customer service is great. If i do stop by again I will definitely recommend having their cajun fish and chips. read more

We normally go to the Mukilteo location, but today I decided I didn't wanna drive all the way there, so I grabbed some salmon and chips, fish and chips and a Caesar salad at the Everett location The cod was fine, but the lettuce in the salad was all wilted and brown and the salmon was grey. I always get the salmon and chips and it's always the right salmon color. I'm pregnant so I decided to play it safe and not eat it. read more

Fish and chips 3pc with a "tanker" of clam chowder for me please! Wasn't sure what a tanker was but at $10 it sounded like a deal and oh it was! I Probably got about 4 bowls out of it. The fish and chips never disappoints me, they're perfectly battered and have just the right crisp. This time they were perfect as well! I came by on a Wednesday around 4 and it wasn't busy at all, i was able to walk in with nobody else around and waited in my car next to 3 other cars who were also waiting for there meals to be brought out to them. What a great customer service touch during COVID! There's another walk up location is in Seattle in Pikes Place Market. It's a must whenever Im visiting Seattle and I'm glad i found this location which has dine in seating so once that's allowed, keep ivar's in mind. read more

I got chicken strips they were very good basic crisp chicken strip the staff was nice don't like fish but

Really disappointed with the service and food at this location! I ordered 2 orders of the 5 pieces of fish and chips. Which I did by DoorDash. I specifically called and asked for extra tartar sauce to be added...We got none!!! How do you eat fish and chips without tartar sauce. To add insult to injury I had forgot an order of cornbread and it cost $5 more to add cause there a $2 charge by door dash to add it and the cornbread tasted old! The order for two people cost $50 with tips etc. and it was completely disappointing.. The fries were not even redeeming enough to feel at least something was good in what was delivered... and to top it off when we called to complain their response was to go through DoorDash! - To do what? Send the driver back cause they forgot the tartar sauce!!!! What happened to "good customer" service when getting food from restaurants??? In the old days, a manager would send someone to fix such a disaster of an order!!! Especially because we are 2 blocks away with no car! read more
