    Fish and chips
    Brian L.

    First time ever being to COD father, went with a friend who's been there before. First off when you get there, there is a line about 15-20 deep prior to even opening! That should tell you something. We got in, ordered 2 fish and chips baskets, and drinks. I believe we were order 17. It took maybe 15 mins for the server to bring to us, which as busy as they were was fast! When we made it through the door, I looked out the window, and the line was still long outside! There is lots of first responder memorabilia hanging up and on display which was historical, and nice to see! The cos was delicious! The fries were great as well. 100% recommend!

    I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse... CODFATHER FISH & CHIPS | Randomly stumbled upon the CODfather on Google Maps and once we saw it, we couldn't not go. And we were not disappointed. We shared an order of the World Famous Fish & Chips and also tried a chicken curry pie. The fish fillet was HUGE! Came out hot and perfectly crispy. I tried to pick it up for a photo and it was hard to touch with my bare hands because it was so hot. The chips were exactly that, chips. Well, the British kind. Comes with a flavorful and creamy tartar sauce. And the pie was perfectly flakey and seasoned perfectly. TBH I love that they just keep it simple. Definitely will be stopping by here next time I'm in Charleston!!

    We came just for a quick meal but maybe it was a little too casual for me. They charge for water so we brought our own and they don't have plates, just give you a paper wrapped parcel of food They have a pub side and fish & chips side. We got some mushy peas and an order of fish and chips to share because we weren't super hungry. It's one large filet per order with chips aka fries & tarter sauce Tbh, their tartar sauce was my favorite part. The chips were not what I was expecting, some were overcooked and some were undercooked? Or just hard? Maybe because we came late, but I'm not sure The mushy peas were pretty good, kinda tasted like bright green mashed potatoes The fish itself ( I think it was cod) was good! The fish was soft and moist while the shell was crunchy and broke easily - great texture The restaurant had a dive bar vibe imo There was plenty of parking in the private lot which was easy to get in and out of

    The fish was fantastic! They were super busy but still managed to get the food out in a timely fashion. Fish was hot and not greasy with ample portions. The batter was perfect! The ambience was fish house style with bench style tables or high tops. I will be back!

    Best fish and chips I've ever had. Light and extremely tasteful breading, cod was so fresh and tasted amazing. Fries made fresh. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend

    Half size order fish and chips with tartar sauce

    Managed to finally get around and try some fish n chips at Codfather! Ordering is efficient thanks to a simple menu and bold sign without frills. I got the half order of fish n chips for $12.50 and the tartar sauce $3. Nicely breaded, flaky cod plus chips were not salty at all which I appreciate. The tartar sauce is a must, the texture is coarse, not blended. Staff was busting their chops to sling orders out in a fast manner. There's a numbering system so stay alert to get your order if you're taking-out. There's plenty of seating available indoors, bar seating at the window, tables outside. Parking is plenty on the side grassy lot area. Cheers!

    Still one of the best Fish and Chips around!! Staff is friendly and just a great place to eat.

    The food is absolutely incredible. It's a huge piece of fish and a generous portion of fries. The food came out very quickly wrapped in white butchers paper. I would definitely come here again anytime I'm in the Charleston area.

    Half order Cod and chips. Delicious cooked to order.
    Terry K.

    Surprised to find a British Fish & Chippy here in Charleston. Very casual establishment with both indoor and outdoor seating. Orders are taken at the "window", a receipt is received and your order will be brought to you where you have seated yourself. Cod was fried to perfection, crispy and light, although a mild oily presence remained, but did not deter from the taste. Delicious. Add some malt vinegar to the cod and chips, amazing. Check this venue out. Recommended.

    Fish N Chips!

    Every time I come to Charleston, my guys always take me to incredible lunch restaurants and this trip the CODfather was the place. I was advised by my local colleagues to order the fish and chips and they did the same. Great crispy fish and the fries. Good portion size too! The CODfather has been on my list for Charleston for years so I was glad to finally give it a try. Traditional English fish N chips place. I highly recommend for any seafood lovers that live or are visiting North Charleston.

    When I saw the codfather advertised as world famous fish 'n' chips, my husband and I decided to give this place a try. Parking is free on the side of the restaurant. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is quaint with tables on one side and a large bar on the other side. The ambiance has a pub like fill. This is a very casual restaurant. We ordered our food and waited for about 30 minutes due to an influx of customers who arrived right after us. We ordered a whole fish and chips for my husband and a half order for me. The cod was fresh and hot, and the portions were large. If you are on a diet of any type, this is not the place for you. The fried cod was fresh, and the chips were hand cut. Both fried to perfection and delicious. The food was so good yet fattening that I didn't even feel guilty. If you are in the area and want some amazing fish and chips, this is the spot to come to.

    Momo Riverfront was the first stop on the Over the Bridge Food Tour's Navy Yard Noisette Stroll,…read morewhich is fitting because they've been here since 2020 and were one of the first business owners to set up shop on the Navy Yard after the Navy Yard shut down in 1996. The seafood-forward menu, tasty cocktails, and lowcountry favorites have always made it a go-to to bring friends from out of town and catch a lunch outside overlooking the Cooper River. Guests enjoyed jumbo shrimp cocktail, hushpuppies with honey butter, flavor-packed smoked chicken thighs, and crisp & fresh cucumber tomato salad. Drinks like the Last Melon make it go down extra smooth (La Gritona Reposado, Aperol, Watermelon-Basil Syrup, Lime). For the gluten free guests, chef's selection of oysters on the half shell, jumbo shrimp cocktail, and white cheddar pimiento cheese/bacon/chives deviled eggs, along with the gluten-free, crisp Aval Cider. The service is always impeccable and personable. Whether inside or outside, they do a great job ensuring everyone is taken care of. Also worth noting that they have an impressive space upstairs for private events!

Started with a seafood tower with ceviche, smoked whitefish, oysters on the half shell, and shrimp (which were massive and perfectly cooked). All was outstanding. I had the cacio e pepe with shrimp which was also very good. Crème brûlée was the perfect dessert, smooth and creamy and the crust was caramelized really nicely, it had a few spots that were almost burnt which gave it a great flavor. Not the cheapest place and not massive portions but everything was so good and I was full without being stuffed which is just right. J.Ja

You can order from inside or at the outdoor station, which makes things convenient. The indoor space features a big bar, TVs, arcade games, and even a small gift shop--lots to keep everyone entertained. Our food came out very quickly, but unfortunately that seemed to be because it was pre-cooked. The fries were lukewarm, and most of the items lacked that fresh, hot taste (the boiled peanuts were a delicious exception--super hot and spot-on). Overall, this is a great casual, family-friendly environment for hanging out and enjoying the vibe. Just don't go expecting gourmet food, and you'll have a solid time. Recommended for the atmosphere and drinks more than the meal.
