So I was a very frequent customer at The Codfather on Spruill until it closed. Today I had a real longing for some British fish & chips ... my family & I drove from Mt. Pleasant 33 miles, over an hour drive & it was worth every minute. Outstanding authentic Chippy food..We even took home some Take & Bake Pies... It's clean and oozes charm. The staff are so nice & helpful. Nothing is a problem for them. I noticed they have a very nice long bar, which is fully stocked. Parking a breeze. I had been on the fence about trying this establishment...so glad I did. Definitely try them ... I will definitely do the 33 mile trip again. read more

The Cod Father in Summerville pales in comparison to the original location in North Charleston. Our visit was very mediocre and meh! The fish and chips were disappointing! The battered fish lacked the light, golden crunch I was expecting! I found my serving to be heavy and somewhat greasy. The fish itself was bland and did not have that flaky texture that makes great fish and chips stand out. The fries were also bland and boring. This is a no for me! Average at best! read more

The Cod Father - Curried chicken pie and chips. Plus a pint of Old Speckled Hen - Fish & Chips Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

We love the Cod Father!!! We have been several times since they opened the new location in Nexton and it's been awesome every time! Our kids loved the British decor and high top tables. There is a full bar separate from the restaurant with equally cool theming. The service was excellent and the kind people working there answered all of our questions about the ingredients in the meat pies. We ordered several orders of fish and chips and a sausage roll. The fish is so fresh and crispy, the house made tartar sauce is the best I have ever had! The portions are huge and definitely could be shared. The second time we went, we decided to try the Chicken curry pie and it was just as delicious with a flaky, buttery crust and warm and creamy chicken curry yumminess inside! We will definitely be back! read more

We stopped in at The Cod Father and it did not disappoint. I went with the half fish and chips while my hubby got the full-size portion--both were large, piping hot, and freshly fried with a nice crispy batter. The fish was flaky and delicious, and the chips were spot-on. Portion sizes are generous, ordering was quick and easy, and our food hit the table in about 10 minutes. Prices felt very reasonable for the amount of food we received, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back next time we're craving fish & chips. read more

With Codfather selling it's Park Circle location we are fortunate to have Codfather Nexton to still find great fish and chips. The restaurant is roomy and decorated with both English staples and salutes to local first responders. Unlike its originator they cook their fish to order so there may be a slight wait, but it is very much worth it. When I go, I like to order the Tennet's lager which is smooth and crispy and full of flavor. Instead of chips we tried the Manchester Special which are their famous chips with gravy and cheese. The gravy was rich and savory with plenty of ooey gooey cheese. Perfect on a cold winter's day! We tried the Battered Sausage which had a large smokey sausage fried golden brown. It was ok but I wished the sausage was spicier but that's just me. I have never had a Doner Kebob, but I discovered that it is basically a gyro. Now I went with the standard lamb with onions, lettuce, and tomatoes with a feta spread and tzatziki sauce, but you could also order different sauces and toppings. All in all, a pretty decent gyro with lots of meat. Finally, you can't come here and not try the fish. Nicely battered and cooked to a perfect golden brown this filet really hit the spot. We may be losing Park Circle but at least Codfather lives on in the Nexton area! read more

Absolutely terrific fish and chips, served hot and crispy, and the best mushy peas, too. Place your order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table really quickly, despite the crowded dining room. The place is clean and simple, perfect for casual dining. Love the Codfather! read more

We placed an online order for fish and chips. Generous portion sizes. We really liked the homemade tartar sauce. Customer service was great and our food was ready to go when we got there to pick up. read more

I liked the hand breaded freshly prepared fish. Nice crunchy exterior and properly seasoned. The chips were delicious. Service was fast. There is an attached bar area that you can get a drink and eat the food ordered in the restaurant. It has a nice British pub vibe but a bit cramped. I was in a corner high top near the door with a trashcan and broom. Seemed a bit off versus the rest of the area. Bartender was quick with service too. read more

The Cod Father - Fish and 1/2 Order of Fish N' Chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Been going here regularly since it opened this place is great the place is always clean the service and workers is alway efficient and friendly but the most important thing is the food items are all delicious fish and chips are all prepared fresh upon order and cooked perfectly some other item that I've tried the battered sausage the mushy peas and the pot pies are all very good I know it's not very English but we are in SC so I only wish that would add a side dish of Cole slaw that could be purchased Other than that this place is well worth your time and money it never disappoints read more

Best fish and chips I've tasted since moving from England. The mushy peas and curry sauce are exactly how I remember them back home. I've tried so many "English-style" fish and chip shops up and down the East Coast, but nothing comes close to this place. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they even had a great selection of English beers on tap which really completed the experience. Definitely worth stopping in -- I'll be making a visit every time I pass through SC! read more

Great spot for lunch. We got the full fish and chips and it was great. I should have gone with the smaller portion, but that's ok. This is easily the best tatter sauce I have ever had in my entire life. It's outstanding. Happy staff and the manager checked on us as well. It's a cool British theme too. I will be back. read more

Excellent fish and customer service. Very generous portions. The house-made tartar sauce is really good. Will definitely be back.

Simple dishes, made well. Always a winning combination, and The Cod Father has this in spades. Traditional LARGE piece of cod, even in the half order, served with large cut "chips." The cod was perfectly coated and cooked, and served hot. The tartar sauce is not the run of the mill product. Nice dill flavor that supplemented the fish rather than attempting to take over the taste. Slight resemblance to the sauce used on gyros, but better. The chips were all hot and firm on the outside. Not a lot of salt natively, which is an excellent, in my book, way to handle potatoes. Lots of places salt the heck out of them, which lives me thirsty but not sated. Really good choice. On the table were all the accoutrements you could wish for from salt, pepper, ketchup, malt vinegar, hot sauce, etc. along with a roll of paper towels. If you're looking for a fancy place, this ain't it. It's laid out and designed to look like a low key British take-away place. That's the perfect choice. Cashier and delivery person both super friendly and helpful. Manager came by to ask how things were. That was a very pleasant surprise in a low key restaurant. If you're craving fish and chips, served in paper as God intended, this is the place to go. Highly recommended. read more

I'm from Amazonas, Colombia and have heard lots about the traditional fish and chips from my English husband. After eating the fish and chips I understand why they are so famous. The food was very fresh and tasty, the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and. I can't wait to go back and eat there again. read more

WOW! I've heard so much about this place and it took me this long to go. Very lovely set up of the place. Plenty of seating and there's also a bar connected to the restaurant. My friend and I ordered the half fish and chips and man the portion size is HUGE. I can't imagine the regular fish and chips. I couldn't even finish half my food. I love how your order is wrapped in this long paper and given to you kind of like a present. Its super cute! The food was piping hot, freshly made. The fish was crispy and flavorful! The fries were seasoned just right and the tartar sauce was tangy with a hint of sweetness. I loved the whole combination of flavors. I was very pleased!!! The pricing is pretty great too (it's about 9 something for a half fish and chips) overall 10/10! read more

The Cod Father - Half fish and chips w/tartar sauce - Fish & Chips Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

They changed something since they first opened and now their fish just isn't as good. Tastes a lot greasier and maybe...frozen?

I really liked the fish and thought the portion was good for what I wanted (the 1/2 fish and chips) fries were a little dry but not bad. Tartar sauce was great with the fish. read more

I don't eat fish but my boyfriend says it's amazing! I always get the meat pie which is delicious and the potatoes that are fried with the same batter (i think) as the fish and chips are my favorite.

Food and service was great. I recommend this place. Great location in the heart of Nexton.

I'm from Indiana but love eating here whenever I am in town. The cod is absolutely amazing. The service is excellent and I enjoy having a beer at the bar while waiting for my carry out. read more

Delicious. I always do the fish and chip and a couple could share a large portion because they are so generous with the chips. House tarter sauce is okay, but I'm picky. Fish is always hot and good. Recently they changed from wrapping it in paper to serving it in a small box. Slightly freaked about the waste but it doesn't steam your fish soggy so I'm happy. We sit at the bar and service is always on point. Hubby orders a curry pie frozen to go and also likes the sausage roll. Not cheap, but its good. read more

I FINALLY got myself on over to The Codfather! I must say it is the best British eateries I've experienced. Fresh fish, generous portions, fried perfectly, no filling in the batter, and not greasy. I could drink the curry sauce. It's amazing. The mushy peas were really good. Though I like mine more on the sweeter side, they were still awesome and fresh. Service was extremely pleasant and they were patient with us as first timers and checked on us once seated. The ambiance was laid back and smooth, inviting. Since being here in SC this place is def my top 5 places read more

They are fish is amazing! Great bar! Awesome atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back.

legit traditional UK fish and chips including the mash peas and even the curry sauce if you like that (I dont in general). The fish was huge and cooked perfect. Its a bit pricey but for what you get I think its fair. Its well off the strip otherwise it would be a fortune read more

I enjoy fast freshly fried fresh fish any day. I've been twice and will go back I am sure. The batter on the fish is delicious. I would prefer the fish inside to be cooked a little bit less. The service seems family style. You order at the counter and pick it up or have it delivered to your table. read more

Great food and friendly service. Love the fish and fries. It is great! We love that they also support law enforcement and first responders!!

Not the hugest fan of fish and chips, but I love Cod Father! I always call-in and my food is hot and fresh about 15 minutes later. Staff is always super friendly and the ambiance is great for lunch. I always get the fish fillet with tartar sauce and a sausage roll. The fish is freshly fried and HUGE. It comes out extremely flaky, crispy, and crunchy. Dipped with the tartar sauce and you get the perfect bite! They also provide malt vinegar and hot sauce if you wanted some different flavors. I personally love the sausage roll even though my boyfriend isn't a fan. It's flaky and has a nice herby, meaty taste. The meat and potato pie isn't bad - the crust is flaky although I don't think the filling was anything memorable. My boyfriend really likes the curry pie, although the second time he got it, it was more onion then anything else inside. A great place to get affordable fish and chips. Super delicious and we will definitely be back! read more

Really good fish and chip. Do I wish they had haddock, yes, but this was as good. The cod was delicious and fresh. The service was friendly and welcoming. read more

Finally made it out to The Cod Father's new location in Summerville. I'll let the photos do the talking but we ordered Fish & Chips, a Steak & Ale Pie and 2 Sausage Rolls. Wow, bloody wow !!! What a treat. Just an incredible experience from start to finish. Just love the set up, decor and atmosphere. The customer service is top notch and the pub set up is really impressive. Thanks Adam and The Cod Father Team for yet another brilliant experience. You made our day. 3 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars from us. read more

I visited today around lunch time. As soon as I walked in I could smell the aroma of the food, it smelled delicious and you could tell it was cooked to order. I ordered the half portion of fish & chip. The portion size was generous. The food wasn't heavily seasoned which I really liked. The fish was flakey and piping hot, the batter was light and airy. The fries weren't anything to write home about and I actually found a hair on one of mine. This was very disappointing because I was super excited to try this place and never had the opportunity to make it to the North Charleston location. I called to let the manager know that I'd found a lighter colored or blondish hair on my fries and he said "We don't have any one with Blonde or light colored hair working here". This was a turn off, He went on to ask what I'd like them to do about it? Perhaps this was his way of asking how he could remedy the situation for me, but his delivery, and the way he handled the situation could have been better. He ended up preparing another portion of fish for me due to the problem that I experienced with my initial order (I advised him that I didn't want any more fries and now have a fry phobia) Overall the fish was good, and the tarter sauce that accompanied it was very flavorful. However it just wasn't a good first impression for me. The cashier who assisted me with my order Holly was very friendly. FYI read more

Not my first time to this business and it won't be the last. This time I came to their Nexton location which fits right in with the high end feel of the shopping center. The staff were friendly and ready to serve us their famous fish and chips and offer other tasty recommendations as well. We ordered a personal beef pot pie too. There is even a full bar in here so you can get the perfect pint to go with your crispy fried fish. They even offer drink specials on "Thirsty Thursday" so you get the best bang for your buck and get to try multiple delicious drafts. The feel was high energy but not frantic. We came in and felt uplifted without having to worry about a rowdy crowd. This made for a stress free visit and overall awesome trip! read more

Today we had the privilege to dine at The CODfather proper fish and chips in Nexton. Their food brought me back to my British heritage for sure, it's the closest thing to jolly old England's fish and chips I've had in the U.S. When we walked in we were greeted by two great employees Brock and Carrie. Who went above and beyond to make lunch the best.This was a great experience and we will definitely be returning so if you in the mood for quality food head over to the CODfather proper fish and chips in Nexton or their location in Park Circle. read more
