You order at the counter then seat yourself. All the staff had British accent! We ordered the haddock fish and chips ($19.95), poutine ($10.95), and bowl of clam chowder ($7.95). We added on a side of curry sauce ($3.50) and gravy ($3.50). The menu was straight forward. The fish and chips were 10/10. One giant piece the length of the plate! The clam chowder was way too salty that I had to add lots of hot sauce and pepper. Be careful as it came out pipping hot. The poutine was not my favorite. I'm not a fan of cheese curds or the thick fries. However, the gravy was superb but wasn't hot enough to melt the cheese. I would recommend to stick with what they are known for: fish and chips! You won't be disappointed. Monday's are AYCE fish and chips for $6.50.

Always coming back here for our fix of English fish and chips. Thanks Glenn for the best in Las Vegas. Definitely recommend

Chowder

We ordered cod+chips+clam chowder ...fish is good, not seasoned, batter is fried well. When I went home to file the receipt away, I saw that they charged me Lunch combo for $2-3 more than à la carte, but no soft drink+side? My fault...I should have checked the bill right there at the restaurant...not honest from the establishment either!

Codfather was a solid stop, especially for the haddock. It was really good -- almost as good as what I had in Ireland, which is saying a lot. The chips were cooked well, though they were a little bland for my taste. The clam chowder, unfortunately, wasn't very good. Still, the fish was the standout, and that's enough to make me want to come back and try the cod next time.

Looks and feels like a tradtional pub in England or Ireland. Staff is friendly, patience in answering questions and welcoming. The fish is cooked to perfection - cripsy on the outside and moist in the inside. The clam chowder has bits and pieces of bacon - should have more clams. The coleslaw is tasteless - guess I am use to more flavoring. My companions enjoyed the curry sauce tremendously - said it created a much better flavor. We ordered the cod, catfish and haddock to compare - all were equally delicious. The fish and chips alone is five stars.

Vegan Fish and Chips, vegan tartar sauce and cole slaw (not vegan)

Decided to finally visit The Codfather to ironically celebrate Independence Day! The place was crazy popular, but we placed our order and the cashier pointed out a booth had opened up! Lucky for us - and we got the Bowie table, which was fun for us old rock and rollers. We're vegetarian and always want to support restaurants that have thoughtful dishes we can eat on their menus - so we each got the vegan fish and chips, my partner got an additional side of cole slaw. The vegan tartar sauce was a nice touch - and our server went out of the way to explain what it was made out of. We'd been wanting to eat here for ages - and I'm so glad we did!

Cod Fish Fingers And Chips

This is probably the best fish n chips I've had in vegas. Good portion and fresh. I ordered the cod and chips. Crispy just how I like it. I suggest coming on the weekdays if you can for lunch or late lunch when it's less busy because this spot gets packed during the weekends and evenings. Also, it can take awhile, but well worth the wait. Ambiance is simple, no frills with a few added touches.

Haddock & Chips
Row P.

The Codfather is a good place to get Fish & Chips choose from Cod (delicate and a bit sweet) Haddock (mild taste, thicker and meatier) or Catfish (strong and sweet flavor). I like the simple menu they offer. The prices are reasonable. Nice staff and good service. Simple service - order your food and drinks at the counter and wait to be seated. We dined in for the first time and we were very pleased with the service and taste of the Fish and Chips we ordered the Haddock and Catfish. Big pieces of the Fish and portions of the hand-cut chips were perfect. The Clam Chowder was filled with delicious clams and potatoes. The Battered Sausage with Curry sauce on the side was different but good. I liked the curry sauce. I also dipped the hand-cut chips in the curry sauce that was another good one (it was something that I seen people were doing and so I did the same :) I liked that the tables had the set up of napkins and all the necessary condiments needed for such a place as The Codfather. I'm glad we stopped in we will be back.

First time here as we were in the area. I had heard some good things about this place so took advantage and tried it. We ordered the lunch specials of haddock and cod with a side of gravy and curry sauce. The haddock was the way to go, the cod was good but the haddock was crispier and meatier. The fries had a great texture and the tartar sauce was on point, it did not overwhelm the fish. I've never had fish with gravy but that gravy was tasty. The curry had a good flavor but I wasn't a fan of the fish with the curry, I preferred the gravy. Overall, good meal and for the price, you can't go wrong.

This was my friend's haddock again too much better
Tanya B.

I came here for the second time and for some reason this time seem to be better than the first time, but if you like fish and chips and a great place just to chill and enjoy the people who have an English accent speak this is place to go

Catfish & chips
Teri Anne S.

Heard that this place had the best fish & chips in the area. Met up with friends for lunch today when it opened & got a table. You order at the front...got the catfish & chips and it was very good - I liked how it was lightly battered....not overpowering batter like other places. Their french fries were real good too. Will definitely come back to try some other items.

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!

cod with coleslaw and curry sauce
Justin M.

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.

I am honestly confused by all the five star reviews…read more Ambiance was okay. Decor is decent but nothing spectacular at all. Does look better inside than it presents outside. We ordered cocktails from a very limited menu. Our waiter wasn't sure how to make the lemon drop martini on the menu but said he'd try to follow the recipe. We asked for Grey Goose but watched him pour shelf vodka. Drinks were served after the appetizers arrived even though they were ordered first. We started with oysters. Waiter said they only had two kinds tonight so we ordered 6 of each. He set them down and left to get tobasco we requested. When he returned we asked which were which he said "we only had one kind so they're all the same." I feel he should have told us before serving them since they were $4 each! I ordered coippino which at $46 was expensive but I wanted a treat. Hubby ordered large clam chowder in bread bowl and Caesar salad. Cioppino lists first ingredient as crab. What I was served had no crab, 2 overcooked shrimp and rubbery calamari. The sauce was flavorful but so disappointing otherwise. I asked about the crab and was told "no crab" and I was offered additional scallops as compensation. He brought three small scallops on a plate. Hubby was served two small bread bowls of chowder with the explanation of "we are out of large bowls". Again, it should have been discussed prior to serving that there was a substitution. Who wants two big loaves of bread bowl??? The salad adequate-- a big bowl of romaine with croutons with a side of dressing. All in all not worth the over $150 it cost. Not in the least! And they charge an extra 3% if you use a credit card. We will not be back.

The woman that served us was very friendly and made good recommendations. The food came out quickly and was delicious. If you get fries, make sure you try the garlic fries!

There are so many different types of fish to choose from, and I love that each one can be prepared in multiple ways, so it never feels like you're ordering the same thing twice. Everything I've ever had here has been nothing short of phenomenal. The quality is consistently excellent, and the service is always just as impressive. The restaurant itself is spacious, clean, and fits the seafood-house aesthetic perfectly without feeling cramped or overly formal. Whether you're looking for a great date-night spot or you simply want a restaurant with an amazing variety of fresh fish, King's Fish House is such a solid choice. It's one of those places I can always count on for an excellent meal and experience.

But for a long time, I've been looking for a place where I can just get simple seafood, and especially after my previous favorite place, Fish King Grill, closed some years back. I'm embarrassed to admit that I only just discovered King's Fish House a year or so ago, and even more so that I'm only just now reviewing it. Located smack dab in the middle of the District, the moment you walk in you feel like you've been transported to a portside restaurant in New Orleans, with plenty of boating equipment and fish models everywhere. King's Fish House specializes in seafood, as you might guess from the name, but I was quite surprised at the different types of seafood they have on offer here. Ranging from simply grilled fish, to Cajun and Creole seafood offerings, to even a raw bar and various seafood specialties from around the country and the world (they even have sushi on their menu!), King's Fish House has it all for those that love good seafood and more! Needless to say, after coming here a few times both by myself and with family, I love this place. Some of my personal favorite items include their yellowtail poke, the grilled octopus caponata, and their shrimp and scallops, but the real treat is the specials that come in every few months or so. This time around I got their Cajun-spiced cedar plank salmon, and it melted in my mouth. Make sure to save room for dessert, too -- my favorite desserts include their bread pudding and butter cake! Indulgent enough to share, but I won't judge if you opt to spoil yourself and finish it all! Between their great service, the fact that they source their fish, and enough choices and specials to keep you interested, I'm amazed that I didn't start coming here sooner, but I'm glad I did. Definitely add this to your rotation if you enjoy seafood as much as I do!

The older employee told me that because it was pending, the payment probably didn't go through and that I would need to purchase the food again. I explained that a pending payment does not mean the payment failed. I just left Walmart and my purchase to Walmart was still "pending." They called the owner on the phone , and I was told that I would need to purchase the food again. Even after she too a picture of my bank statement so she could send it to the owner. At that point, the older employee decided to call ChowNow customer service herself. They confirmed that my order had gone through, and while she was on the phone, they sent over the order confirmation. I showed her the confirmation, which stated that my food would be ready at 2:05 PM. Even after that, I was told the kitchen still hadn't received the order and that they had to wait for it to come through before they could make it. I completely understand that technical issues happen, but I don't think it's reasonable to put the customer in the position of having to prove that they actually placed and paid for an order. I placed my order at 1:13 PM and didn't receive my food until around 2:00 PM , nearly 45 minutes of waiting for a shrimp po'boy sandwich. The employees were polite and did try to help, but the overall experience was frustrating and could have been handled much better. Having to wait nearly 45 minutes, prove that my order was actually placed, and almost be asked to pay for it again left a pretty disappointing first impression.

I was actually there, and this review that a woman named "Bobbi H" left is a complete misrepresentation of what happened. She clearly offended Ray and got weird when he didn't find her awkward and offensive joke funny...when he chose to walk away from the situation, she continued berating him. What followed was an unnecessary scene screaming, shouting, and verbally harassing him until he finally reached his limit and attempted to have them leave. Yes, Ray momentarily stepped out of character, but after watching how much he endured before getting to that point, I think most people would have lost their patience much sooner. The accusations being made against him completely flip the situation around and leave out her own behavior leading up to it. And the suggestion that Ray is somehow a problem for that bar is especially ridiculous. That bar was full because of Ray. I was there because of Ray. People genuinely come to see him because of his personality, energy, and the atmosphere he creates behind the bar. I've been a bartender for almost 15 years myself. I know this industry, I know what bartenders deal with, and I know a great bartender when I see one. Ray is a great bartender. Everyone is entitled to share their experience, but making serious accusations while leaving out the behavior that led to the confrontation isn't an accurate representation of what happened. I witnessed it firsthand, and the version being presented by "Bobbi" is simply not what I saw.
