3-piece Alaskan true cod fish and chips. Hot and crispy. I wish it were battered instead of breaded. But it was still good.
Big E.

Up until now, I had zero experience with this local chain/brand. I found myself unexpectedly on this end of town and decided to give them a try. I might have been the first customer of the day. Very friendly person at the counter. I asked about allergens and ingredients (because I'm a no lactose guy). At first he wasn't sure, but then consulted the chart he had behind the register and showed it to me. I would've tried more items like the chowder, if I would've had some lactaid pills with me, but decided to go with a 3-piece Alaskan true cod fish and chips and a soda. The food came out lightning fast. I don't even think it was 5 minutes. I was surpised that it was a breaded style. I usually prefer battered. But it was hot and fresh tasting. Fries were hot and crispy as well. I really, really wish I had some lactaid pills with me. I wanted fried clams in a bad way. Next time. Anyway. It didn't knock it out of the park for me. But I didn't feel ripped off either. I still can't get used to the 10% restaurant tax in this area. So after tax and tip, over $20 is a little steep for lunch. But you'll be paying the same or more at BK or McD's, right?

Salmon and chips 4 piece
Adam C.

I've been to a handful of different Iver's, all of which have maintained that same high quality of food and I'm happy to say this location continues to follow that trend! Mom and I split the 4 piece salmon and chips and the salmon pieces are so incredible. Large pieces, hot and fresh with that signature minimal breading we both liked and barely any oil residue. They were so delicious. The fries were fine, nothing that will blow your mind but you get enough to split and that's what we did. But the salmon dipped in their tartar sauce is THE BEST. It's always a good time to eat at Iver's :)

Fish tacos

Although we don't stop here often, we always enjoy it when we do. For starters the place is clean. I compare this to other sit-down and fast food restaurants. They might be fooling me, but I don't think so. Next, the staff-like they enjoy their job, appearing to want to be there, friendly and professional. This is key when looking for a place to eat. Many employees go by the numbers, no smile with little courtesy. This crew is customer focused. The food was hot and delicious with good portions. Everything considered we will return.

Jumbo Prawns 'N Chips
Makaila O.

YES YES YES ! I love this Ivars so much, I have honestly been there 3 times this past month and it's been on point every single time! The food is always hot, fresh and flavorful. I always get the fish and chips half Cajun and my mom gets the clam chowder. We splurged today and got the Cajun baby shrimp and jumbo shrimp and you guessed it; it was amazing! And to mention that the customer service is always on point. They are so kind and definitely give you all the crackers and lemons when you need it. I even got extra cod today! The soda is nice and spicy too yum! The place is always clean too, which is comforting when you're eating good food. And of course, I'll be back!

4-pc classic cod/chips $14, hot, fresh and tasty. Wish slaw included.
Carol H.

Would give 4 rating due to everything ( cleanliness, food quality and menu options), except prices. Although I do know good fresh seafood not inexpensive. I must say though one of my favorites, like many is the famous clam chowder. Hadn't been here in a while and this time we noticed it wasn't as thick/creamy, stronger on bacon flavor and shy on clams, so that was disappointing. Hoping it was an off' day. We also got the classic 4-pc cod/chips $14, very tasty but should have come w/ bit of slaw too so we ordered a side $3-4. Also got a clam/chips basket $10 also good. Portions are smaller than remembered. We asked for two small sodas than realized their only reg. size is 16 oz. and $3.25 each, ugh. I hate paying $3+ when don't usually get a refill. $7.50 for one cup each kills me but she also should have said they don't have small. Nearly $40 later for lunch, we had it eaten in under 15 mins. and just had chowder & slaw left to take home. Good but definitely need more specials and rewards to get people drawn to their good food. I'm afraid it's going to go under at this Puyallup location as eateries next to it we're busy yet only couple other tables while we were there. Also wish they had hush puppies.

NO Super Clams, , just Super Breading

No more clams I like Ivers Fish and cl chowder always hot and yummy, but don't get the Super Clams $12 but I could not taste clams, just soggy breading. After eating 3-4 pieces I decided to remove the breading so I could taste the clams. To my dismay I could not find a clam in several smaller strips and the larger ones Har a miniscule piece of clam and were 75% breading So if you dislike clams but like breading go for it Me? I will not order again and I fed my breading to the parking lot crows

Clams
Michaela D.

I had been craving clam strips for the longest time! Up in Washington visiting family, but where I live I could not find quick clam strips in the area (especially during the whole quarantine). I knew about Ivar's, but only recently got into seafood the past few years. We went through the drive thru and it was fairly quick even though we were behind a good handful of people. Still hot by the time we got home all the way past downtown! So delicious, definitely filled my craving! Enjoy this originally Seattle restaurant!

3 Piece Fish 'N Chips

I am so surprised at the size of the fish pieces each time I go it seems the pieces get smaller and smaller I also ordered my fries crispy and they were not crispy and had no flavor. Been eating ivars my whole life and it's gone down hill will be looking for a new fish place

The first issue was the seating. Instead of putting our party at an area that had tables that could be moved together five of us were put at a booth meant for four people. The area with more capacity was by the door that leads to the outdoor dining, and was being used by other patrons, with more room available. A chair wa placed at the end of the table for the booth we were in. The legs for the table were such that I had to "tuck" my feet under the chair I was sitting on. This was very uncomfortable for someone who had seven knee surgeries. During the meal I had to place the plate with my biscuit onto my knee to get my coffee refilled, either that or the server would have needed to reach over me to refill it. The food was a bit of a disappointment for two of us. I had the chicken fried steak with country potatoes. My wife had eggs Benedict with loaded hash browns. My county potatoes were actually cool, not cold, not even warm, cool. What made them semi-warm was the gravy on top of them. My wife's potatoes appear to have been sitting around. They were more than crispy, being hard, and cold. The eggs for the eggs Benedict were almost completely hard cooked. The yolk was not at all runny, to blend in with the sauce. Her fruit cup had lots of water in it, and the melon was not as ripe as it should have been. She remarked later she should have gotten the biscuit. We did not complain to the server. Had we done so everyone else in our party would have finished their meals by the time our replacement would have arrived. Well over $100 spent for a disappointing experience. The first we can remember at a Black Bear Diner.

Awesome! Couldn't have enjoyed our visit to Crockett's any more…read more We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch. It was relatively busy, but our server was great! The fried zucchini were prepared in a manner that we haven't seen before - long, flat pieces. Excellent! My wife had the Sloppy Joe - and she couldn't have been more pleased. Seasoned to perfection. I opted for a Wedge Salad, which was another item prepared in a way I hadn't seen before either - it wasn't a big rock-like salad, it was sliced and laid sideways. Perfect. and with lots of bacon! We'll definitely be back to Crockett's! (We'll just have to find a reason to go to Puyallup.)

Came here per their suggestion, because I'm a food snob, and I'm glad we did. Cool little place, super clean, nice decorum, yada yada yada. Our server was Jessica T. I am very neurotic, and she was very patient, and even engaged in back and forth banter. She came to take our drink order, and if you know me, I always have a lot of complex requests. I started off ordering a boring vodka and soda, but then switched it up to cucumber vodka with muddled lime and mint with soda. Visibly and vocally unperturbed, she took my order along with my counterparts. The bartender whipped me up a couple of those bad boys and let me tell you, it was refreshment level: EXPERT. And props to the bartender, whom I thanked on the way out. After I drink order, I started ordering all sorts of ish. We had, an order of grilled sourdough, which was phenomenal and I'm actually going to start making that at home, if I ever get there, me and my (non-romantically involved, strictly platonic cuz I don't swing that way) partner both had the Cavatappi Ragu, and his wife had something with meatballs, that's all I can really remember. Man, even a my standards the food was so good. I'm very grateful that my folks picked up the check, and I feel bad because I ordered so much stuff, which I wasn't expecting because I went Ham on the menu, but damn man.... I think you can actually eat cheaper at a comparable restaurant in LA... Prices were pretty high. Even for me hahaha BUT all that being said, the next time I come see these clowns, I want to go back!

We've been super excited to come and eat some seafood boil and having to wait till 3pm till they opened, we were starving! We were sat down very quickly and the waiter took our pretty fast too being that we were the first ones in. Our order: Combo #3 with added sausage with no spicy house special sauce Kids chicken tenders with fries Shrimp fried rice 1 order of asian bread 1order of steamed rice Total $130 We've been to this location 3 other times and the experience and food were all terrific! Unfortunately this time we left pretty dissatisfied and disappointed with the quality of the food. Me and my husband always peel and crack open the shrimp and crab first before we start eating just so it gives us some time to let our baby's food cool down for a bit. We finally got it all cracked, peeled and opened when we finally got a taste of the crab and it was SUPER SUPER SALTY. In total me and my husband ate 1 crab leg each and left the rest, and we never ever have leftover crab typically. Our crab batch was just so inedible that we didn't even take it with us to go. The chicken tenders and fries were good, can never go wrong with that and my daughter loved them! The shrimp fried rice was also good but the shrimp seemed a bit rubbery, but we took it home and decided to just take the shrimp off. With having to spend $130 and not getting to eat both the crab from the expensive boil and the shrimp from the fried rice I'd give this experience a 2, we specifically went here to have the boil but ended up not eating pretty much any of the crab. When I asked the waiter why the crab was so salty he said they they add salt to keep it fresh, but the fact that it was severely salty kind of wondering how much salt did they have to use to keep this specific batch fresh? I'm not sure if we're planning on coming back but I hope the next batch is better for everyone else!
