    Haddock, chips, and Mushy Peas
    Victoria N.

    Wonderful service and delicious fish and chips! I loved the haddock and chips and my husband loved the catfish. Love the tartar sauce. The poutine was tasty, too (I'm Canadian so I will always order poutine if I see it on a menu). I also tried the mushy peas based on other reviews and I was pleasantly surprised.

    Great fried fish and tasty sides. Their gluten free batter was pretty amazing too. The fish came out fresh and hot. I suspect the British like their fries with a mix of crispy and more like steak fries. We love them crispy and this helped us not over do it. The only odd note was no beer. I had hoped for a pint to complete the experience, but the fish really fantastic so that had to wait.

    Minnie was on point. It's fish and chips.

    I had seen the Codfather multiple times driving around Henderson, and was so glad that I got to go there yesterday. What a treat this is, especially for people that love fish and chips One thing I have to say, is they actually have British people on staff! It's always cool when you're at a fish and chips place and someone comes up and gives you your food and speaks to you with a British accent. I know that's a small thing, but for me it really adds to the experience of dining here. Speaking of the staff, super friendly and helpful, offering. Great suggestions, and just generally are very warm and inviting when you step into the restaurant. The fish and chips were so on point! As someone who has traveled to England and Scotland, I have had some of the best fish and chips in the world. That being said, this place is as close to authentic English fish and chips as I've had yet. I did not have the cod, I decided to upgrade to the haddock, which is what the gentleman at the counter told me. And he was 100% right. Right, it is absolutely delicious flaky and tender with a great crispy batter. The chips were fried perfectly. Had a nice crunch to the outside and soft on the inside. Don't forget the vinegar, to complete the experience! Bottom line? This place is definitely at the top of my list for fish and chips in Las Vegas. I am definitely going to try others but for now the Codfather has made me an offer. I can't refuse!

    This place has been on my list for a really long time. So happy that I was finally able to go! The service was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. I felt like I was visiting someone's home. Food was excellent. My boyfriend got the clam chowder and cod and chips. I'm vegan and yes they have vegan options! I had the vegan "fish and chips" and the mushy peas. The vegan fish is actually made of banana blossom and wrapped in nori (dried seaweed). They even gave me a vegan tartar sauce which I was very surprised they had available. The mushy peas were also very good. I really enjoyed my visit and would like to go back soon! :)

    This place is clean and inviting . The staff was very friendly and happy . And the fish fry's really were amazing and large . We both ordered fried haddock and Cole slaw . The fries were great too. I would definitely recommend. The prices were very reasonable and I had enough for dinner .

    Tried this place on a recommendation and I can tell you it lived up to the hype. Service was a tad on the slow side, but I didn't mind it as they warned us upfront that since we were there on a Friday during lent it was going to be a little slower. The people could not have been nicer, great service. The wife and I loved all the neat little plays on words on pieces of memorabilia and tshirts throughout the place that tied in British culture with fish. The food was the best part. Fish and chips were amazing, battered sausage was the best I've ever had and the mush pea fritters were excellent. And everything paired perfectly with the absolutely delicious curry sauce. Can't wait to come back and try out more of this menu.

    I stopped by The Codfather for lunch earlier today while my car was in the shop for an oil change. The entire experience was top notch and a great start to my holiday break. SERVICE: Friendly & well-paced. AMBIANCE: The restaurant is homey with diner vibes (in the best way possible), and there's a variety of booths, tables, and high tops to accommodate groups of different sizes. The restaurant seems to have broad crossover appeal and attracted a wide range of customers during my visit. FOOD: This was easily one of my Top 5 fish and chip experiences! The chips and curry sauce combo was divine. I also curated four or five unique flavor profiles with different combinations of the fish, mushy peas, curry sauce, tartar sauce, and malt vinegar.

    Mushy Peas

    TLDR: Great local fish and chips spot in Henderson. A large piece of fish comes out freshly fried with a large side of chips. Staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful. I would budget some time to eat here since it gets quite busy and the fish comes freshly fried. Food: I had the lunch combo which included haddock and chips, a side (I chose mushy peas), and either a water or soda. The fish was fried to order and came out incredibly hot and crispy. There was a nice bed of chips, tartar sauce, and a lemon. The table was stocked with ketchup and malt vinegar. I would absolutely come here just for the fish and chips. The mushy peas were not my favorite, but I am far from an expert on mushy peas. Compared to other restaurants, these ones were soupier and did not have added freshness of mint/herbs. Price: I believe the lunch combo was $20 before tax and tip which was fair considering how large the portions were and everything that comes with the combo Ambiance/Service: The service here was incredible. It seemed like only a few staff members were running the restaurant with over 30+ customers at the lunch rush. Despite it being busy they had a great attitude and were consistent in reminding us to let them know if we needed anything

    The Codfather has been on my must try list for some time now. I went in on a Friday night. They were quite busy and after dining there, I can see why. You order at the register and are given a number that you take to a table of your choosing. The service is friendly and the food is cooked to order. We ordered clam chowder, a battered sausage, the kids menu mini fish, the cod fish and chips, and the haddock fish and chips. Our soup arrived first and was a great start to our meal. The soup was full of clams and potatoes and was very filling. The fish and chips were so good. They were cooked fresh to order. The kids menu mini fish was a great size for a kids portion. The haddock was huge and the cod was a generous serving. The chips were cut large and were tasty. The tartar sauce was delicious. The restaurant has booths, tables, and a counter for eating at. The servers were all friendly and you can tell they want everyone to have a great experience.

    Wish this place would expand and open up more convenient locations because their food is really good but quite a hike for us! They have both normal and gluten free options for fish and their portions are huge! Probably the single best place to get fish & chips in town! Highly recommended and we would come here more often if we could! They also have a lunch special where you can get fish & chips, a side, and a drink for $20.

    I have had this place bookmarked for a while and finally got the chance to try it! When we walked in you order at the counter and then find a seat. I love fish and chips! I decided to go with the cod and chips. I absolutely loved it! The fish was delicious and crispy on the outside. They also offer haddock which I think I will try next time. I regret not getting the curry sauce so I will definitely be back to try that. The service was amazing and the person at the front taking our order was super helpful. They brought the food to our table as well after we ordered. Definitely will be back to eat here again.

    Ive been wanting to try this place for ages and finally got here. The food didn't disappoint. The portions are very big. The prices of fish they give you are massive. Fluffy, fresh and crispy. When you bite in, you can hear the crunch the next table over. We also tried the spam fritter... if you like spam, get this. We had the fried sausage and clam chowder as well. Clam chowder is so so so good. Its comfort food that you want more of. The fried sausage was tasty and great in the gravy sauce. To be honest the gravy can be used on literally everything. We also wanted to see what the curry sauce was all about. It had a great flavor but we preferred the gravy for our meal. Our server was dope. He gave us suggestions since we wanted everything. You pay immediately as you order then are seated which is a bit different. The ambiance is lacking something to be honest. Even though there was people in there dining, it gave a empty vibe. Maybe they needed music or something as white noise that stands out a bit more. All and all I loved the food here! We will be back

    What can I say?!?! This place is a hole in the wall and what a great place it is. From the decor to the staff, this place is amazing! The fish is so fresh and tasty. The malt vinegar they have is the chefs kiss. The staff were so sweet and great as well!! This is definitely going to be a great place for our work lunches! If you haven't tried this place, you really need to. I have lived here for over 2 decades and never heard of it. But I tell you, you will not be disappointed by the codfather food or staff!!!

    It got heavy after sitting.

The space strikes a balance between modern and intimate, with warm lighting, polished finishes, and an energy that feels lively without being loud. It works just as well for a date night as it does for a small group dinner at the bar. The layout feels intentional, and the overall experience is elevated without being pretentious. The asparagus shrimp and scallops was the standout. The scallops were perfectly seared with a golden crust and tender center. The shrimp were plump and flavorful, not overcooked, which is rare. The asparagus added freshness and texture, balancing the richness of the seafood. Everything tasted clean and well composed, with each component complementing the other rather than competing for attention. Bravo Zulu manages to feel polished yet approachable. It is the kind of place you look forward to returning to, not just for the food, but for the atmosphere that makes the evening feel complete.

We began our meal with a couple of appetizers, including octopus and crab cakes. We also shared a dozen Oysters that were fresh and tasty. The Octopus appetizer was grilled well. We then started our entrees, they were the Crispy catfish which was good and very fresh. It was served as a whole fish that was deboned, and scored making it easy to break off to eat. The Yellowtail carpaccio was good, it was served more like sashimi than a traditional flat carpaccio. The Shrimp & scallops combo was also delicious. We ordered them blackened style. The Fish and chips were only okay nothing too notable. The Chilean seabass tacos were not memorable either. The sides were very basic, nothing we would overly recommend to order again. The Mac & Cheese came late. They tasted as if the noodles were old, they just didn't taste good at all. They did take this off our bill on their own because it came late to the table. We did have excellent service, our waitress ensured our drinks were topped off. She was patient and answered all of our questions. The appetizer's and food were properly paced allowing the perfect amount of time in between each meal. The ambience was good, even though we had a booth right next to the front counter of the restaurant. It was also perfect weather to sit outside on the patio dining area.
