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

Stellar. I've never been across the pond myself, but a buddy tells me that the fish and chips here are the closest you can get to the real deal. That fish has one of the most satisfying crunches you can procure. Service was speedy and courteous. It feels like you're in an English pub! read more

I'm not a big fan of fish and chips, but the fish and chips here are amazing. I'm also digging the name of the restaurant haha. This place is amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Its very comparable to a fish and chips joint you'd find in the UK. The portion sizes are large. In addition to fish and chips, I do like the different pies and sausages they would serve. I say give this place a try, but do remember to bring your malt vinegar for the chips! read more

Serving sizes have shrunken or they are dishonest?!! ?? I have eaten at both locations a total of approximately 20 tImes. I recd a half portion but I had ordered a full. I politely inquired. I was assured it was a full. When I told them I had eaten at CODfather 20 times , they started to back pedal but assured me it was full size. I wish I could attach a pic. it was barely longer than the fork and not thick. Just be honest and saw 1) we have smaller portions now or 2) we made a mistake. read more

The fish and chips, they do it well! They offer other food items like pies, sausages but went with what they're best known for. The half size portion was generous enough. It comes wrapped in a paper fold with cutlery so good for on-the-go. The first bite of the fish was quite yummy with all its flaky and well-seasoned goodness by not being overly salty. The dill in the tarter sauce was a pleasant surprise. The fries got cold quickly so added some HP sauce to jazz it up. Each day they have specials for happy hour like $2 beers on Tuesday or $1 off certain drinks. read more

WOW now that's a piece of fish. We stopped by here on the way to another place but had to try it out. As you can see the fish is big and you get a bunch for chips but if the value is a point of interest and you like a lot of chips then this is for you. We did like the flavor of the fish and although the chips are firm it would have been better for us to get less chips and more fish. The plus side is they offer military discount but they charge $.50 for a cup of water. Should have asked for the $1.00 bottle instead. Although we will return to try the pies, I'll keep the three star review until then. read more

Now you know my secret! belly on up to the bar order a pint and order the fish. The fried fish is the real deal, they know what they are doing. Cooked perfectly every time crunchy on the outside and moist( can I say that word?) on the inside. The bar has a great vibe and friendly barkeeps. It's not a complicated menu and the biggest decision will be tartar sauce or cocktail sauce. Both of which I would give a 5-star rating. You gotta love the way it is served wrapped in paper like across the pond. I can see fried chicken in their future! I would ask what kind of oil the fish is fried in but it tastes so good maybe I don't want to know. read more

I've always gone to the OG and followed them to their newer spot, heard mixed reviews saying this one isn't as good. I disagree, a group of us went and all thoroughly enjoyed every piece of fish and chip, even got some meat pies to go! Wasn't as busy as I expected but there are St. Patrick's day shenanigans all over. It's reminiscent of the one on Spruill Ave with the bar in a separate section, felt like less seating but maybe it's just the lay out. The only thing holding back from 5 stars was the restroom, very loose toilet seat and not as clean as I hoped. But easy fixes. Food was fantastic, I literally will debate that their fish n chips is best in the Low Country. Love Madra Rua but not for their fish n chips. The fact their tartar sauce is homemade and tastes better than I've had in high end restaurants, I honestly could put it on lots of things, might consider selling it! Thanks for a nice birthday lunch, all the places I could've chosen but that fish n chips were calling to me and the group concurred! read more

being from New England, I love me a good piece of fish. The codfather in nexton was truly a surprise. the food is absolutely delicious.

The bar is very fun and there is a gentleman bartender that is so so nice and accommodating. There is enough of a wait for your food where you can have a drink and enjoy yourself for a few minutes.

Finally made it to the Cod Father in Nexton! We aren't new to the amazing fish and chips they serve up here. We have frequented the North Charleston location for sometime and are stoked they are now in Summerville! It's a great location with a spacious indoor dining area and a nice size bar as well! Hubby and I finally ordered a meat and potato meat pie to share. Yum! Make sure and order one! You won't be disappointed. Since we ordered the meat pie I opted for the half size fish and chips and I am glad I did! It was more then enough. I went to the bar and asked the bartender what he recommended to go with the fish and chips and he said cider. Being that I am not a cider girl and more of a beer girl he asked if I liked wine. He recommended a Prosecco and it sounds weird but let me tell you....amazing! It was bubbly and crisp. It was the perfect pairing to the fish and chips! I look forward to coming back and bringing my parents who haven't been. See you soon! read more

Even if you get a half order, it's still huge! And same can be said about the fish sandwich. I usually cut the filet in half and ate one part separately. Aside from the size, it's always cooked perfectly. Great quality meat and not overly battered. My only complaint is I wish there was more seasoning in the batter. However, to offset that, they literally have some of the best cocktail sauce and tarter sauce that I've ever had. I've only had them twice, but they managed to earn a special place in my heart. Side note, though similar, there's no affiliation with the other CODfather restaurant.

One thing that immediately stood out was that they were open late on a Sunday. We arrived around 8 PM, which was incredibly convenient, and since the restaurant wasn't crowded, we were seated right away. Our server (I unfortunately don't remember her name, she was blonde and incredibly friendly) provided what was probably the best service we experienced during our entire trip. She was attentive, welcoming, and made excellent recommendations. We ordered the 2x California Burger, chicken sandwich, a gyro, side salads (they put the dressing on the salads, it was actually the perfect amount for me, but just be warned, ask for it on the side if you want to add it yourself), and a cheesesteak. The gyro (I got lamb) was recommended by our server, and it did not disappoint! Everything was fantastic, but the burgers deserve special recognition. Whoever was working the grill that night deserves a raise. Hands down, the best burger we had on our entire trip. The seasoning was perfect, the patties were thick and juicy, and they had an amazing char that took them to the next level. We also upgraded to the Aloha Fries, which were a great addition and definitely worth trying.

Great First Experience at COD Tail!…read more After a long day at work, I needed a good meal and decided to give COD Tail a try. I ordered the fried flounder & shrimp with plain fried rice, and it was amazing! The portions were huge, the food was freshly cooked, and everything was full of flavor. The customer service was also very friendly and welcoming. I was definitely pleased with my meal and would order from COD Tail again. Highly recommend!

We found a few dog-friendly patios in the area of our Airbnb and chose Dog and Duck for our first night. Though there wasn't anyone to initially greet us when we came to the door, we did eventually find a kind waitress who directed us to sit anywhere on the patio and even brought out a very cold bowl of water (which our dog greatly appreciated). It was a Saturday night but it was still a pretty chill night on the patio with a good number of screens to show the games for the night. The waitress was nice and fast, took our orders, and brought our food out nice and hot. We kept it simple with fish and chips for him and patty melt for me. The food tasted great - no complaints here. Overall it was a nice, chill experience and would come here again.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and seated right away. Our server was fantastic--not only helping us with food recommendations but also sharing local places to check out while we were visiting Charleston. The food came out quickly, hot, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was just as impressive. With plenty of TVs, a great bar, indoor and outdoor seating, and a fun, welcoming vibe, I can only imagine how much fun this place is during football season. If we were in town then, this would definitely be our go-to spot. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Charleston!

I am an independent refrigeration serviceman. This location sustained a lightning strike, which damaged multiple appliances. After diagnosing the board on one of the refrigerators, I advised the owner of the board's cost and the potential for additional damage to other components. I also cautioned that replacing the board would be necessary to diagnose these components and that the overall cost could escalate. Despite this warning, the owner chose to proceed with the expensive board replacement. Unfortunately, the damage proved more extensive than initially thought. Regrettably, it has been over a year since I issued the invoice, and the owner, having assumed the risk of the new board, has placed the burden on me and neglected to settle their outstanding invoice read more

If you're looking for the ultimate fish and chips experience, try the Godfather Fried Fish and Chips. It smells amazing and tastes even better. The fish is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The chips are golden and super crunchy. Whether you eat them alone or with tartar sauce, they're delicious. What makes this dish stand out is how carefully it's made with high-quality ingredients. It looks as good as it tastes. In short, if you want a mouthwatering seafood treat, go for the Godfather Fried Fish and Chips. It's so good, you'll want seconds. Enjoy! read more

I picked mashed potatoes & vegetables for my sides and it was the ultimate comfort food meal. Needless to say, we will definitely be back again :)

The fries were great and hotdogs were grilled or fried and that's the best way to have them. A little too much topping la but he scraped some off so it was fine. I had the fish and chips.

Who would have thought to use red rice seasoning to create an authentic Charleston-inspired grit bowl? The seasoned collard greens and fried chicken made it absolutely incredible. I ordered the French Onion Bowl, and it was absolutely delicious! The bacon Parmesan grits were a meal within themselves, but pairing them with the French onion sauce, mushrooms, and grilled chicken took it to another level. And the garlic croutons on top? Chef's kiss! Thank you, Tiffany, and all the servers who took such great care of us. Everything was delicious, and the service was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

I wanted something for the 5 adults and a two year old that would be good before flaying home. When we parked, I was a tad concerned about time as there was a line of 8-10 people waiting to order. I saw a table opening up, so went there so we would have some place to sit. Since this was our first time, a lot to decide. Bowl, or plate. There were so many options. We opted for a few dirty birds. The biscuits with chicken and gravy and sides were fried green tomatoes and fries. We also had an order of pimento cheese hush puppies. Unfortunately, the order for crispy onions came out as grilled onions. They were ok, but disappointing as it wasn't what was ordered. We were also charged for an extra coffee which we didn't order. The fast pace of the order kept the line moving, which has the risk of getting things wrong. Everyone hustles. There was a line for the restrooms. They were next to the beverage dispensers. It made for a cramped area. The food on the upside was delicious! The fried green tomatoes were greasy for my taste, but the chicken was tender and nicely fired. Not greasy. The gravy on the dirty bird was good, but needed more flavor. The biscuits were flaky and yum. Definitely a good find before a flight. We had plenty of time!! One exit away! Great find for breakfast before a flight out of CHS.
