Petes Fish & Chips - Seafood Near Me - Tolleson, Arizona

I know this place is a cult classic but I was disappointed. The fish and chips were mediocre. The cash only business model is a bit of a nuisance but also positively adds to the experience strangely enough. At the end of the day it comes down to how good the fish and chips are. On this front, the square fish pieces were truly no better than store bought filets. Also the tartar sauce is sold entirely separate from meals (which only come with ketchup). I made it home by the time I realized they provided no tartar sauce and had to make a return trip. I guess if you become familiar with the song-and-dance of this fast food chain, these quirks are forgivable, but even then they are more of an inconvenience than charming. read more

What is this? Ordered super seafood combo and these look like nuggets, no way this equals 7 piece shrimp. read more

I grew up on Pete's fish & chips ! It's always been amazing & great tasting ! The workers there are absolutely incredible I enjoy going each & every time !! Proud regular of Pete's read more

This place is really nostalgic for me. Between this and Ed's fish n chips in Avondale it was a stable in my high school diet! The oil they use is really good and gives the food a unique flavor. It's inexpensive fast and salty goodness. The employees are all very nice and helpful and the place has outside seating and a drive thru. It's a great little lunch spot. I'm glad I got the chance to enjoy it again. If you're in Tolleson.. this is a must try. read more

My search for great fish and chips continues with a stop and this surprisingly good place. Disclaimer: I'm from Southern California. We have there some incredible fish and chips owing to the fresh fish that's available in places like Dana Point, Newport Beach, Santa Monica, San Diego, etc. so I'm looking for something that's at least close. One weird thing: so far, every fish and chips place I've tried in Arizona (and I've tried a lot) only serve the square fish patty. I do t get it. Fish patties are made by a machine from cod that's processed and formed. MY version of fish and chips is a hunk of fresh cod filet, battered fresh and then deep fried. But apparently Arizona has never gotten the memo. So here we are with the square patty. Sigh. Ok. As that version goes, this is the best we've found. The patty is particularly fresh. Probably because this place has been in business for some 50 years and they serve a lot of fish. It's super fresh. Also, shout out to the owners because they keep their frying oil fresh. The result is a golden patty that's just lightly crisp and perfectly cooked inside. No greasiness and no oil taste. It's just perfect. It comes with a tasty, tomato-y red sauce with a tiny kick. I ordered mine with tartar sauce and theirs is excellent and is made in-house. It's really good. Another oddity: they don't carry or serve ketchup. To me that's strange because you need it for the "chips" (French fries). So bring your own or go the traditional, no-ketchup route. So really excellent and the best of the square-patty version. I'd come back for sure. Oh, it's cash-only here and always has been so bring cash or go to the ATM next to the order window (and pay a fee). Outdoor seating only and also has a drive-through. Always crowded for a good reason! Best so far. read more

Well what can I say? It's a cash business and bring cash. It must have something people love to be in the business for so long. But like others have mentioned I think it looks like what came out of a box, I'm not seeing the attraction. We shared a combo 2 which had enough for both of us. The sauce is the only thing that makes it edible otherwise I'm not sure there is any flavor at all. I never like to hurt businesses but I'm not impressed. read more

Petes Fish & Chips - Covered outdoor eating! - Seafood Near Me - Tolleson, Arizona

I didn't like the seafood here. Below average. There is no Ambience. You sit outside, & it's way too hot to sit outside 6 months of the year. Plus you can ONLY pay with cash. read more

I know Pete's is like an institution here and all but seriously?!? Y'all know these are just frozen fish patties? They're not even trying to pretend these are 'fresh'. I went and got an order of the 4 piece fish & chips and shrimp & chips. First the way they fold to seal the bag, just makes the fries soggy so there's that. Secondly, the "shrimp" were horrible! The breading wasn't even good and there's just shrimp pieces, not even whole shrimp in there. Terrible! The fish are just square pattie's that you can buy out of the frozen freezer section at Walmart. BUUUTTT I will say, the sauce saved the fish. Damn, that sauce is really good! The sauce is prolly what makes this even edible to begin with! I went through the drive thru and had a few cars ahead of me. It went fairly quickly. Being my first time, when I was handed the bag, I asked to make sure there was two meals in there cause I wasn't sure how it was packaged inside. Girl was a bit rude about it, sorry for just making sure I had what I ordered! Overall, terrible terrible "fish". Soggy unseasoned fries. I can't see any reason why I would come back. On the off chance I do, definitely getting more sauce so the fish would be edible. read more

I can't be the only one who remembers the Super Special had 8 BIG pieces of chicken (on its own plate) and then a SECOND plate just for the fries. Now, the chicken got WAY smaller, the fries got soggy and even with the 2 sauces, it all fits one one plate with room to spare. And of course, the price went up atleast 50% but now half the amount of food. read more

So good. Always feels like home when we eat here. Ordering is quick and easy. Mmmmmmm

This place has gone down hill. I ordered shrimp and chips and all I received was breading! I've been a customer for over 50 years and I will never return. So sad!!!! read more

If I can give no stars, I would. This is not the Pete's I used to go to back in the day. I do not recommend coming. It was a waste of money when I can buy the same stuff from the frozen food aisle at Walmart. Service was nice and ambiance was good. read more

Petes Fish & Chips - Seafood Near Me - Tolleson, Arizona

They did not listen to my request on separating any of the food items. They need to listen to customer!

Never eating here again. Was charged for sauce even though it came with my order. No ketchup onsite. Small fish(no flavor), shrimp is small & heavily coated (no flavor) looked like 2 pieces per stick?, fries was plenty but dry & flavorless as well. Pete's sauce was bland, no flavor, spicy but just un flavorful tomatoe paste pretty much. Disappointed. Distasteful. read more

Petes Fish & Chips - Supposedly shrimp, fish was gone so fast- tiny piece, fries, my sauce busted open - Seafood Near Me - Tolleson, Arizona

Been going there for decades. Can't recommend it highly enough. A few years ago, we went to a fish-n-chips place in San Francisco and paid over twice as much for food that was less than half as good. read more

Crazy little place that is busy as heck. Their sauce is crazy good and little burritos so much better than expected.

Always gone through the drive thur and this place is CASH ONLY. I have been a few times and no issues with my orders. I love the fish (2) & chips combo but I was surprised that their chicken tenders combo was freaking awesome too. They only offer once type of sauce, Pete's sauce. The drive thru is always packed, so be prepare to sit for a little. read more

I love this location! They have plenty of seating compared to other locations and their bathrooms are actually open to the public and they're clean as well! There's also plenty of parking in their lot and in the area. Now to the food! Their food tastes just like their other locations and it's good! Our kids love their corn dogs and we're big fans of their chicken tenders and fish. Their sauce is also really good. My husband really likes their horchatas and we have one of their refillable cups so it's makes it cheaper to get drinks. The staff is super friendly and quick to make their orders. Drive thru could take some time but they definitely move faster then their other locations. Random but from time you may catch a glimpse of the cat that hangs around and my kids love seeing it! It keeps its distance unless you feel it! read more

I always order the shrimp and chips along with an extra 8 oz cup of the sauce. Honest, you can never have too much of their sauce. The drive thru was pretty fast even though there was a long line. I commend the staff for doing a quick and efficient job! Definitely give this place a try if you haven't already! read more

Always drive by it never had the chance to stop well today was the day today I did it I stopped walked in realized it was a patio instead of a walk-in restaurant so I could've gone through the drive-through that would've worked just the same but it was nice to sit on the patio the area seemed clean the restroom was very clean staff seem friendly enough they seem like they are food cost savvy checking receipts for tartar sauce and such I overheard another customer good employees so whoever owns that franchises got some good workers there food came out hot and by the time that I could go to the restroom wash up and get out the food was basically ready it was good there's a sign on the wall that says small shrimp I thought to myself I hope the shrimp aren't small They were kind of small lots of batter batter was good though fish was all right the sauce was legit tartar sauce wasn't worth $.80 so good experience overall read more

A classic spot in the valley with a few locations. I just love these square made fish and shrimp. Simple and affordable. Try the chicken sandwich if you want something different. Just bring cash as they do not accept plastic. Will be back a customer for life. read more

Petes Fish & Chips - Solid fish - Seafood Near Me - Tolleson, Arizona

Let's keep it real, most people go to Pete's out of nostalgia. The food is good, not great but it is iconic, at least for anyone that grew up in the Phx metro area. I mean EVERYONE has heard of Pete's. When I sat down to write this review my wife even said "really babe, you think Yelp really needs your review on Pete's". Fun fact I learned tonight: Pete's uses sustainable wild caught Pollock. read more

Yall this place is known for messing up your order! Always check your bag before leaving! They always forget something in my order! Today was my monster burger! Wtf people. How hard is your job? read more

I go to Pete's at least once a month. I always order the #2 Seafood combo while the the girlfriend orders the 10 piece shrimp and chips. I have always gone through the drive thru so I cannot review the eating area or restrooms if they have the. There is an ATM onsite for those that don't remember that Pete's only takes cash. The drive thru is horrid when it's busy. It can back up down Van Buren St. Best to go around and park in the back if you planning to eat there. The only reason why Pete's does not get a 5* is the place will at times mess up on orders. Its slight, but half the time they forget something. Also to know is that you must order tartar sauce on the side as no meals come with it included. read more

This location does not serve lettuce or tomato. So when I asked for a monsterburger deluxe w/ cheese. The guy taking my order was like...uhh what's deluxe? So I told him that at the Indian School location, they have the deluxe option with lettuce and tomato. He then told me that they do not serve tomato or lettuce. Get on the lettuce tomato bandwagon Tolleson Pete's!! This location is crazy busy on Saturdays nights (probably on Fridays too, but I went with my mom on a Saturday night). Highly suggest not parking on the west side of the building and the line of cars in the drive-thru can stretch all the way to the street...and you may have to wait for a few minutes to back out of your parking spot. Best place is to park on the south side of the building. read more

Food poisoning right after eating dinner here last night, both of us who ate it are now so sick!

They used to be ok, not over the top by any means. My trip today I'm so saddened, this is my last trip here. I could go into the details but I'm not. They did pretty good for awhile! But it sucks now! read more

Who couldn't like Petes Fish and Chips? Sure they only take cash - you can use the ATM they have. They don't have a dining room but a covered eating area. It's different, but a good different. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. I like the monster burger, their burritos, and fish sandwiches. read more

First timer yesterday. Wish I could rate it higher. The 3 piece fish was hard as a rock. The 10 piece Shrimp was so over battered you couldn't taste the shrimp. My fries were cold and my wife's onion rings were average. I loved their sauce and would buy it separately. Had my hopes up but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. Sorry read more

This place is truly a common component in your diet if you grew up in the vicinity of a Pete's Fish n' Chips. I've always ordered the fish n' chips, recently adding shrimp to the mix. The fish is in a rectangular shape and the breading is always a nice golden color. Pete's isn't doing anything fancy here and yet it has remained to be a local favorite since 1947! L-O-V-E the Pete's sauce (its pato sauce and ketchup.) and it's a great spicy ketchup kinda deal. Way better than any cocktail sauce. The fish and fries have a good amount of salt on them and I think that's all they use for seasoning. It's simple and good. The fish and shrimp can be a bit greasy, but it is to be expected when you are eating fried food. But I don't think it is nowhere near as greasy as its competitor Long John Silver. Way back I know I've had the burritos and monster burgers, but given the name of a place you might wanna guess what is best to stick with. I'll take Pete's over any other fish n' chip place! Ps, It's CASH ONLY. read more

I remember this place being good. Both sober and not sober. Drive in from L.A hungry and hot and forgot this particular location was outdoors only.. ugh CASH ONLY ugh (thank goodness the bf had some) flies everywhere...UGH was hard to find a seat and not all fans were working. The fries were not all that good nor was the fried fish! The sauce was the only thing that saved the flavor for both. What worse? I brought some friends from Texas and L.A to try this place, raving and ranting. Never again. read more

I have been to this location twice. Went the second time maybe the first time the had an off day. Never going here again, the shrimp was hard the Fry's and onion rings were cold, I specifically said to cook the crab soft it was hard d and the forgot and order and I had to go back. The Central location is so far away from my home this one is 5 minutes away I will never come here again I will drive out of my way to the Central location..... read more

Pete's. I very much enjoy my visits to pete's. I have been eating at the various locations for years. the food is fast cheap and tasty. It is not by any means gourmet but they don't claim to be. they are good just the way they are! I love moster burgers, and the 4x5 fried squared pieces of fish from heaven. They need to start taking cards now though. It's 2018 and it's cash only? What in the Tax aviation is going on around here? read more

Basic deep fry. Limp-ish fries... shrimp is tasteless. The fish "squares" were decent enough. Usually can't go wrong w ice tea at a Fish n Chips joint, but it was watered down and flavorless. Filled the void, but I'd take a hard pass in the future. Added a star for the indoor and outdoor seating. That was nice. read more
