Petes Fish & Chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

While it's not the greatest being cash only. The prices DO reflect just being cash. Probably the cheapest fast casual food you can buy but certainly good food at the same time. The onion rings weren't to my liking but the fried pickles are awesome! read more

I find myself craving food from here every so often. Similarly to fast food like KFC or something. Just every blue moon I need to satisfy my craving for unhealthy, oily, greasy, food for the soul and I'm good for months xD. Same applies for Pete's. I mean, it is exactly what it is. You come here for a reason and that is greasy fried food. I am from the east coast and used to hit up long john silver's. Not many of them in AZ but Pete's satisfy that exact craving. Fish is decent, overall if I compare them to a fancier restaurant's fried fish, is a solid 6.5. Which for the price, speed, casual takeout, no need to rsvp, deal with wait staff, etc etc etc, is tough to beat. Also, these workers work hard, so please have patience, be polite, be friendly, get your food, and get your butt home. read more

This place is pretty good. The customer service is excellent. The food is cheap but still good. Sometimes the drive thru can get backed up during the lunch rush. Take cards already! Why are you still cash only? read more

Petes Fish & Chips - petes near sky harbor airport - Fish & Chips Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

They save the food they don't sell at night and serve it when they first open, which is against food regulation!!! So if you want Fish and Shrimp recooked come to this place but be careful the GM is irresponsible and does not care about health code. How do I know this? I worked their for two years and it's just awful. The manager NEVER told the workers to wash hands when they first came in. So if you like your food made with messy hands and no gloves go for it. read more

I've driven past this place for years and finally decided to stop and try it. The food was OK. Not great. The staff was friendly and my order came out quickly. The best part about Pete's is that it's a local business! I read some of the negative reviews, about the quality of the food, and I can somewhat agree. But since there are eight locations in the area, they must be doing something right. If you're in a hurry, you might want to give them a try? read more

The staff was super great! I usually go to the location on Mesa Dr in Mesa so there's a couple differences and required asking questions but the staff was awesome and knew what I was talking about lol Same delicious fish, sauce and onion rings though so that was excellent!!! I do really love the awesome sauce and rice krispy treat from Mesa though sooo I feel like all the locations should have those lol read more

Pete's has been one of my favorite places to grab a fast meal on a budget...n tastes good! However, as far back as I remember Pete's has been notorious for getting the order wrong and even though I have made it a must to check before driving off...today I didn't. Don't you just hate getting home after building anticipation with the hot frie aroma...then you sit down unbutton your jacket and prepare yourself to enjoy your meal....WHAT!!! I didn't order shrimp and chicken nuggets?? Yup, we drove back, had to wait, and still had to pay for the order again. Yes, the lady said "can't give you free food" naturally I replied that's fine just give me the correct food order! I am very dissatisfied and disappointed with Pete's on Buckeye Road and do not hold them on favorite places list anymore. A message to Pete's owners...when you deliver the wrong order and inconvenience the customer to drive back, wait all over again and then charge extra...you should bite the cost and refund the money! After all it was your mistake. As a paying customer, my time and fuel are NOT free either. Great food...just poor customer service. read more

Every now and then you've got to get your Omega-3 fatty acids, so there's your rationalization for chowin' down on some righteous deep-fried fish and chips at Pete's! I'm not a huge french fry nut, but there are some things that just go together... like peanut butter & jelly, gin & tonic, Tigger & Pooh. I started my descent into addiction for Pete's Fish & Chips by ordering the Combo #2: Super Seafood Combo, and I have not deviated from it since. It's perfect... 2 pieces of fish (square), 7 pieces of shrimp (and these appear to be butterflied longitudinally, so they make an impressive fried shrimp "stick" perfect for dipping), 3 cups of Pete's Sauce and a 32-oz. fountain drink. You don't think you will need three 2-oz. cups of the red sauce, but once you start dippin', you will understand the dark appeal of Pete's sauce chemical dependence. My best guess is that Pete's sauce is ketchup + vinegar + sriracha, but what I indeed know is that it is addictive. I actually like to double-dip in tartar sauce and then Pete's sauce (tartar costs extra). I don't know if that makes me a double-dippin' freak or if I am the member of an as-yet unidentified Pete's patron subculture. If you haven't gotten your fishy-fish on at Pete's and you want to know what all of the underground hype is all about, you gots to get over here and sample the goods. The batter is crispy and delicious every time, and you will be surprised at how much traffic pours through this side-of-the-road parking lot/food court. Judging from the sheer volume of customers (and at a cash-only place, at that) they must be doing something right! read more

If the boy does not want to work, don't give him any shifts. If he wants to work he needs to work on his manners and the way he talks to costumers. I got to the speaker/ window and was not greeted. I asked for a few sides and he kept talking about "i cannot make this a combo" please don't bring this energy into work, costumers do care about their food and the respect offered by the restaurant. read more

Location is random but the food was delicious. The cashier was nice and welcoming. They do have tartar sauce in 2oz. rather than ordering 5 Oz. (Some locations only have the 5oz). Just be careful because it does come to-go on a plate rather than a box. read more

Petes Fish & Chips - #1 Combo - Fish & Chips Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm a super proud Phoenician and have been to Pete's many times and to different Pete's locations. The whole neighborhood shows up to Pete's. For what they serve and what it is, a fish and chips restaurant, it is a solid option. The chicken, fish, shrimp, fries, Pete's sauce, etc..it's all solid. It's not everyone's top priority when thinking of what to eat, but the people always keep coming back! read more

Pete's, when you're just too lazy to heat up the fishsticks in your freezer. I was really expecting something more... read more

So disappointed that the shrimp is nothing like it used to be. They have obviously changed the recipe so drastically (the batter) that it just leaves you sad if you ate here in the 70's and 80's. If you haven't tasted how it used to be you might like it. But for me, I'd rather someone wake up the owners and help them come to their senses!!! Tru Que's, it's better in my family's opinion... until they go back to the old recipe! Really sad. read more

I'm pretty miserable being a transplant from Chicago. Food out here is unconscionable. U have to spend way up not to complain. But Pete's has quality, value and it is delicious Service is quality Servers are in a good mood Must have cash But a reg fish n chips plate is around 4$ A big burger is under 2$ And it's great food I've ate there 7x and I can honestly say it's a gem Terry Bernard read more

It's all in the sauce! My friend and I have been talking about trying this place for years. Tonight was the night as it was convenient for both of us. This location is actually very clean. There is only outdoor seating available, comfortable picnic tables. They are well maintained and they were just fine to eat at. There is also a drive thru and you can order ahead of time by telephone. Cash only! Pete's only accepts cash, but if you forget to bring some, there is an ATM on the premises. I ordered the fish, shrimp and chips (fries) combination. It was decent but by no means did it blow me away. The fries were the best thing, hot and fresh. Fish was basically a frozen fillet, but the breading was good and the fish tasted pretty good. The shrimp were my least favorite, breaded with some type of corn meal that overpowered any trace of shrimp flavor whatsoever. The sauces are the big winners here. All meals come with a red spicy cocktail sauce. It's really good. They do have tarter sauce, but there is a minimal charge for it. The tarter sauce was really good as well. Both of the sauces were the only thing to save those shrimp! Worth a try? Yes! Who doesn't love fried fish! Enjoy! read more

Don't bother! I thought I was being served Van Kamps frozen fish out of the freezer aisle from the grocery store. Don't be fooled by the line of cars wrapped around the building in the drive through, we certainly were. Crappy food to say the least. #gut-ache #diarrhea read more

I didn't like the fish or the chips. To be fair, I'm a much bigger fan of battered fish than cornmeal crusted, but this was basically cafeteria food. The fish is in a processed rectangle, so it could never be great stuff. The crust was nice and crisp, I'll give them that. The fries weren't hot or crispy, and I ate them the minute they came to the counter. So, to recap, this fish and chip restaurant falls short on both fish and chips. No thanks. read more

If I could put 0 stars I would. I grew up in Phoenix and Pete's was my favorite. The sauce and the shrimp where my go to. So when I was planning a trip back to visit I was so excited to get Pete's fish and chips. I went today and it was very disappointing. The shrimp and different they are halves not whole shrimps and it was mostly breading. The sauce is very watered down and when I asked for an extra sauce (because they give u one 2oz with 10shrimp!) He charged me .10 cents ‍ the fries tasted like they where sitting there and got refried when ordered. I Will never go back. read more

I have wanted to try this place for a long time...finally did today after reading all the positive reviews. The service and staff were great, and they double checked my drive thru order with me before passing it thru to me. I got a 4 piece shrimp and a 3 piece fish and chips. The food was...ok. I do prefer a beer batter type coating vs the corn meal type of batter/coating. There wasn't a lot of spice (even salt and pepper) in either dish. Fries were a little under cooked, and soggy. If you want tarter sauce, you do have to order it separately, though the red sauce that comes with both the fish and shrimp is pretty good. All in all, while it's not really my cup of tea, if you are looking for a decent fish n chips at a reasonable price, you can find it at Pete's. read more

disgusting a real ROACH hut. my POF date wanted to try this today, friday. arrived @ noon. outdoor dinning was under canopy, windy noisy & trashed. ordered 3 piece fish. after a short wait our # was called. when i opened the brown paper wrapped food it was NOT anything i've ever seen before. the little rectangle deep friend fish(?) cakes were greasy & looked extruded from trimmed whole cuts of fish. reminiscent of what you would find slipped between a hamburgr bun at DQ, Wendy's or other similar. ARBY's fish is 100% better and thats not saying much. NOT recomended-avoid, NOT FISH & CHIPS IN THE TRUE SENSE! i'm glad i had my trusty roll of TUMS handy. i took 2 & now trying to forgot what a disaster eating @ this PTOMAINE pit.. read more

Fast service! Iconic place. Bring cash, they dont accept debit or credit cards. The staff was very friendly.

I've been wanting to try Pete's for several years and the synchronicity had never been in play, until tonight, so off I went! I was fairly excited. I had checked out the menu online so I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted to order. I got there and was very pleased to see that there was a drive through (which I wasn't anticipating). I got up to the speaker, the person who took my order was very nice and polite. She repeated my order back to me and said she would have my total when I got to the window. I paid and drove away. Once home, I found my order to be correct. Very good! I took one of the plates out of the bag and found that their fish portions strongly resemble McDonald's hash browns in size. Okay, sure, the proof's in the eating anyway. I took a bite and was instantly disappointed. The breading was so dry that it scraped the roof of my mouth.....and there wasn't much what you would call flavor. They provided a dipping sauce that was NOT tartar, much to my pleasure, and I gave it a shot. At first I thought it was cocktail sauce with a little zip to it but after several bites, determined it was more likely watered down ketchup with red pepper flakes added. Couldn't get enough of it! It was the fish's only redeeming quality. I ate 1 of the 3 fish portions. I eagerly moved on to the second plate....shrimp...hoping that it would be better. I was pleased to find seven nice big portions. Without the sauce to mask it's flavor, I took a big bite (about half of the portion). I became puzzled. Was there any shrimp in here? I ate the other half. Couldn't really tell there either. I took another portion and bit down in about the middle. Surely there must be some semblance of shrimp in the middle. And there was. It was so small though. Imagine the shrimp they sell at the grocery store where there are 36-40 shrimp per pound. Imagine one of those cut in half. That's about what this amounted to. The rest of these nice big portions were breading. Lotta breading, not much shrimp. I ate 3 and gave the rest to the dog. He didn't get too excited about them either. The bottom line here is that the best part of my visit was the sauce, and I can't give more than 1 star if the best part of the meal is a condiment. read more

Ok, I get that it's been around forever. If you don't go with high expectations you won't be disappointed. It's a cheap fried everything joint. There's really not much else about it that stands out. Fish was ok. Shrimp looking things were ok. Fries were good and the chicken I was told was really good. It's defiantly worth going once. read more

Great food with decent prices. Best Pete's in the valley. Clean establishment with great management and kind staff.

I've been going to this place for over 6 years now always had really kind people so today I go and order in the Drive-Thru and I order a large sweet tea I get to the window to pick up my order and I say where's my sweet tea and he says we didn't have any but we didn't charge you and I said you didn't think to tell me that you were just going to not let me not know at all the kid made a mean face at me and slammed the window just rude not happy at all read more

Square fish? Square shrimp? Limp fries? Pete's sauce is ok but yuk. Cheeseburger is better than fish.

I was told that Pete's was a good fish place by a co-worker that I haven't known for a very long time so today I went there for lunch I ordered a number one which is for shrimp and fish to my surprise I opened my bag and I thought that it was chicken strips so I took it back they stated that no that's how they do their shrimp their butterfly it I get back to work to eat my food and to my dismay the "shrimp" it's completely Bland there's barely any shrimp in nreading and the fish tasted like a packed fish patty. No seasoning , thick breading..not good at all. This was a waste of my lunch hour and $7 read more

Grease lovers unite! I was there with my work team. Food was hot, a little slower than expected but because we ordered more than $60 of food together we got a free t shirt! How kitschy. I'm assuming it was all fried in the same oil vat. I had the #2 combo. The fish and shrimp tasted the same. 2 hours after eating CRASH I was ready to pass out.
