    Elizabeth (said she was a manager) has terrible customer service. I called because I got home began eating the food and it was all under cooked besides the fish. The fries were cold like they just got dipped in the fryer not cooked. The shrimp was undercooked and the batter was raw inside. I took photos and threw the food away, I called to let them know and she immediately said "well you need to bring the food back" after I said I have photos I told her I threw it away and she continued to say they won't do anything without the food I got irritated and she said fine you could come today and get the food again but not the sauces which I don't want either thing. I said I'm no longer interested in eating that today I prefer a refund or credit she said no you have 5 days to pick up the food and that's it. Gross.

    Pete's Fish & Shrimp - Still the Best in Arizona! We recently made it back home to Arizona, and the first thing on my list was Pete's. It's one of my all-time favorite spots, and after this visit, it's easy to remember why. The fish and shrimp were absolutely amazing, crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And that Pete's Sauce... still as delicious as ever! There's just something about the taste that hits every time, pure nostalgia and quality. If you're in Arizona and craving some seriously good fast seafood, Pete's is a must.

    I recently tried Pete's for the first time, and I was impressed! Everything is perfectly fried and seasoned. The Pete's sauce has a unique tang that's reminiscent of a blend of cocktail sauce, ketchup, and cider. The crabettes, which are deep-fried imitation crab sticks, were a real highlight--delicious! Just a heads up: there aren't any lettuce, tomatoes, or mayo, but they do offer plenty of tartar and mustard. The "chips" are basic French fries - a filler, not a thriller. Service was friendly and helpful when I had questions. Drive thru available and ample seating outside the walk up order area.

    Great little shack for Fish N chips. The Pollock fish was crispy and cooked to perfection. It's not like your regular fish batter so the change is welcoming. The fries also tasted quite British and they are using tasty potatoes. Everything was well seasoned with salt. Overall, a nice experience for a 1st timer. There signature hot sauce is also very unique and unlike what we've had elsewhere. However, they aren't any restrooms here so that was quite disappointing.

    I love Pete's Fish & Chips, it's always just so good ! This location is nice , service is great food comes out fast, and is always perfectly cooked and delicious. The fish is fried to a golden brown , the spicy ketchup is addicting so make sure you grab extra and I love adding lemon juice to my fish !! They add fries ( chips ) to almost everything you order too , which is awesome

    A great spot to eat outside -- loved the casual vibe. The fish was perfectly crispy and Pete's sauce is delicious (I had to order extra). Cash only, so come prepared; that's the only reason I didn't give five stars. Friendly service and solid value.

    Let me start by saying this: Pete's Fish and Chips is a classic fried food joint, not an upscale fish fry, and that's exactly what it aims to be. Some reviewers seemed disappointed, but Pete's is a local staple that's been around for decades. I ordered the fish and chicken tender platter, which came with fries. Both the fish and tenders were crispy, and the fries were decent -- nothing spectacular but solid. The sauces were a highlight. The tartar sauce was good, and their special sauce, which tasted like ketchup with a hint of sweet chili, was a nice touch. Even the Sprite was ice-cold and bubbly, just how it should be. For what Pete's is, it hit the spot!

    First visit to Pete's. It was exactly what I was expecting. You're not getting fancy fish and chips but damn, was it good. Very simple and the fries were good. The young ladies manning the window. And drive through were very sweet and understanding when I had to pull in and use the ATM (cash only). Definitely visiting again.

    I have been eating at Pete's Fish and Chips for over 55years, but this is my favorite location as I used to live down the street before moving to Tucson. I make a point every time in Phoenix to stop by the mist filled patio and wonderful smell to order my favorite items. Not pictured is the already eaten Onion Rings and Great Burger! Fast Food has gotten extremely Expensive and Pete's Fish and Chips had Amazing Gonga Deal Prices, and the Food was GREAT! The Staff was Sooooo Kind and Always take such good care of the people in line waiting to order at such an Awesome location. They are Fast, Kind and Always get my order Right! Fish Well Done, with Extra Seasoning Salt and Large Sauce, the Best! You All Are Awesome, Be Very Proud!

    I dk how you can be a native to Phx and NOT love Pete's. It's a classic. This location is by far my favorite. Always excellent customer service and always soooo fresh. My food is always steaming. I always get a 10piece shrimp & 4 piece chicken basket. Their shrimp is so good. Deep fried to perfection & I love the salt sprinkled on top. The chicken strips have pepper in the batter which just add a nice flavor. The SAUCE?! I dk what Pete's special sauce is, but when you dip your food amazing things happen lol.

    My family grew up going to Pete's. We used to go to the original location in Tempe on Mill Ave. This year Pete's Fish & Chips is celebrating 75 years here in the Valley. Pete Grant moved to the Valley and opened his first stand in 1947 because his doctor said he needed to live in a hot dry climate for his medical condition. Back then, fish and chips were only 35 cents. Food has always been affordable and still is today. Pete used to say that Pete's Fish & Chips is the Biltmore for the common man. It's been awhile since I have stopped at Pete's. There are still quite a few locations here in the Valley. As a kid, I would always get a monster burger or a hot dog. If you have never been, they have a special "secret sauce" to dip your fries in. I think it is cool that Pete's Fish & Chips sticks to the old ways of doing things and only accepts cash. There is an ATM a each site if you aren't prepared. For the negative reviewers, Pete's Fish & Chips isn't gourmet food. It's meant to be cheap greasy fried food. My monster and fries cost $5 and was an enjoyable little throwback to my childhood.

    If you're expecting something better than McDonald's then you're expecting far too much. Everything tastes the same. Blah oil

I love their proximity to JL Patisserie because I can grab a meal and dessert in one stop! I ended up getting coconut shrimp, because theirs is the best. To a balance out the fried, I ordered a mahi mahi seafood salad with mango dressing. This was the best salad I've had in a long time and just hit the spot. Place is cute and tucked away.

I'm mourning the loss of what used to be not only AZ's best fish tacos and freshest poke, but also their S tier fries. Reading some of the reviews I thought it was just a change in name only. Unfortunately the recipes and food quality has changed as well. When I first moved here from Hawaii, I was resigned to the fact the most restaurants in AZ just didn't have the capacity to serve seafood as great as the islands. That was until I visited Coconuts at the old FLW and Scottsdale location. I continued to eat there as well as their new Shea location and also the location on Mayo, always eating consistently great fish tacos and poke. I would bring friends and family there who also enjoyed the fresh ingredients that reminded them of home. Surprisingly the fries on the side were also a standout but now the recipe changed and now taste just like every other takeout restaurant which is a shame. I know a lot of Hawaiian restaurants with fish tacos and poke have opened up in the area in the last few years, but Coconuts was always my go to for fresh fish and tacos and even their fries. I can't say the same about Maui fish tacos and will have to find somewhere else. On the plus side, the servers were excellent and friendly and they rightfully deserve some praise.

Inside, there is a semi circle counter with stools on one side and the child on the other. I always like when you can see into the kitchen, and if you're seated at the counter, it's like a dinner show. That is the only indoor seating. The patio is great with lots of string lights and plants creating a kind of lush space. We sat outside because the weather was perfect for it. You order at the window and they give you a number for your table. I will say that everyone I spoke to there was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I even told hubby how nice everyone is when I got back to the table. Hubby ordered a cheeseburger, which was served with a cucumber dill salad. I didn't taste the butter, but hubby says it was good. I did taste the cucumber salad, v and it was really good. I ordered the turkey chopped salad, which was good. It was a good quality turkey, though it wasn't a "chopped" salad like you usually think. The dressing was very good We also ordered Shattered Potato Chips, which are like house made potato chips, but different. They are thick cut, so the are crispy on the outside but also kind of chewy. They are served with a hot sauce and another kind of sauce. Those chips and sauces were fantastic! This is just a great spot. Decent prices, good food, and friendly service!

It definitely needed more dressing and more flavor. 2. The mocktail was a major miss. It taste like soap or cleaning products. It was essentially an overpriced glass of pure awfulness and disappointment. 3. I wish there were more than one dessert option. The small cookie and the average tasting gelato just didn't do it for me. I gave it 3/5 this time, but I might give it another try in the future.

    I need to take a moment and brag about Knock Kneed's food, specifically the zucchini! I don't think…read moreanyone else in the valley has zucchini quite as food as them. Let me explain, they are thinly cut at a bias and have the most amazing breading making them so nice and crispy! If you don't know about them, you need to! Ok, now the rest of the food...the fish is delicious moist with great breading, the shrimp is usually good but I felt like it was slightly over-breaded today but still good enough. Onion rings, delicious super crispy and they have a different type breading, that is seasoned so well. The service is great and well I don't know what more I could ask for after a long day of working.

    First, if you're looking for lobster, there isn't any here. It's a fish 'n chips place (with other…read moregood stuff), but no lobster despite the name. Second, it's excellent. Arizona has a problem with fish 'n chips. Namely that all they have here are the square, frozen fish patties. All the places Arizonans rave about (like Pete's and Mandy's, etc.) are just frozen fish patties. That's not fish 'n chips. That's a TV dinner. Thankfully, Knock Kneed Lobster is a throwback to an actual fish 'n chips joint. No frozen patties anywhere in sight. The place was built in the 40s and it's in a crappy neighborhood near Sky Harbor airport and diagonal from a strip joint. But don't let that stop you. There is so much to try here and none of it disappoints. The fish is Alaskan cod and it's as good as anything in the west coast. California has some stellar fish n chips, and the fish here is just as good. The cod is flaky and mild and fresh. The batter is cornmeal based, but it's light and not doughy or raw inside. They fry it to a perfect golden brown. The menu has dozens of variations of it (1 piece, 2 piece, 3 piece with 2 shrimp, etc.). The basic fish n chips comes with some old fashioned French fries (the perfect skinny ones like they should be). And one of the best parts is the "salsa bar" where you get your own tartar sauce, ketchup, cocktail sauce, ranch, fresh cut lemons, as much as you want. Mix and match; whatever. In another area you can dispense malt vinegar and Louisiana hot sauce to your heart's content. And in another area is an enormous fountain drink machine with everything you can imagine. But beyond the fish 'n chips is a lot more. The fried shrimp is awesome. They have clams and oysters and catfish too. And don't miss the fried zucchini. It's one of the best I've ever had, and their ranch is excellent. The fried mushrooms are to die for, so it's tough to pick! This place is the real deal. It's definitely a throwback to another era, and I imagine these places won't survive for much longer. Family-owned restaurants are being attacked through regulation, economic pressure, city ordinances, and enormous pressure from corporate-owned eateries. Come here while you still can and taste what really good fish 'n chips should be- even in the middle of the desert.
