Amazing fish and chips. Definitely best enjoyed right away. Fried food is always better fresh so eating there (even in the car) is better than taking it home. There weren't any tables set up, but since it was cold out, sitting outside wouldn't have been ideal anyway. Service was quick and efficient. read more

The Kilted Kod - Fish and chips - Seafood Near Me

I don't usually eat fried food, but I had a craving! We had our fish & chips delivered (which is a bit risky, but we did it anyway), so I can't speak to the place itself....only the food we ordered. I have to say it's the best fried fish I think I've ever had, and I used to live in Florida, so that's saying something! The outer crust was magnificently crispy, while the cod inside was perfectly juicy and tender. It made for the perfect combination! I give the fries a little slack, as they were delivered and got a little "limp" on the drive over, but they were just ok. I think there was a coating on them that I wasn't a huge fan of, but they were tender and well-salted (salt is very important to me, lol). If we had gone in for our fish & chips, I think the fries would've been fine. I still think they should get rid of the coating, though....french fries don't need to coated in anything. Just fry those suckers up, salt 'em, and you're good to go, IMHO!!! I'm so glad I did because read more

The batter is almost black and not like real British fish and chips also the British don't ever give those skinny little French fries, When you get fish & chips in Britain you get your own full size cod about 9+ inches long not cut up little chunks. I guess most reviewers have never had real fish & chips, Also the batter is much thicker crispy on the outside and soft inside. Since the fish was kinda ok I give it a 2/10 read more

Bad piece of fish. Been sick all afternoon. And the lady was rude when I ordered. Won't be back. read more

The batter is a thin layer with lots of fish inside. So good! And the chips are great too!

One of the best places to go for fish & chips. The chicken strips aren't bad either. Hard to decide so I usually choose the fish and chicken option. Love their coleslaw. I usually go to the Meridian Lowe's on Saturday. In good weather nothing like dining there on the provided picnic table. read more

Very good one of my favorite places to go to when I'm craving fish and chips. I honestly haven't found a better restaurant yet.

Got a 2 piece meal at the Lowe's in Meridian and it was awesome! The service was great and the food amazing! The fish and chips was so good and a lot! I shared with my husband and we were full after. We will definitely be back! read more

Love this food truck. Super yummy fish & chips. Made to order and perfect every time. Reasonable prices.

Food has always been good. Anytime I see this truck I stop and grab some food. The fish and chips are always in point

Large portions of delicious cod and great chips. Traveling truck so follow them for your Fish n' chips craving!

Very impressive. After seeing some FB posts I gave it a try. When I pulled up and saw a couple of Meridian's finest I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. By the time I got home with my order of fish and chips, I sat down and opened the container. 4pcs of fish and fries nicely fried and still pipping hot. The flavor and freshness was amazing. I will definitely order from them again. My apologies on the confusion of the amount of tarter sauces I got, you were right there were 3 hiding in there. See you next time.... read more

The one in Boise on Friday night is the best great people. I've been doing us a long time. Highly recommend them. They're over off of Overland. Check them out. read more

The best fish and chips I've ever had came from McDonagh's, a small shop in Galway, Ireland. They're been serving locals and tourists alike for four generations, since 1902. I didn't expect that kind of quality from the Kilted Kod food truck, but I had hopes for a better meal from the truck that recently came to our workplace. The fish was unremarkable. There didn't appear to be any seasoning and even the malt vinegar, which came in small Sysco-style plastic packets, was low quality. I've eaten a lot of fish and chips over the years and I've never been served coated fries. Let me say that again: never. What a way to ruin an international treasure. They were horrible. Ten bucks seemed like a lot for two pieces of fish and the fries. McDonagh's serves the same for under $7. And a food truck doesn't have the overhead of a brick and mortar restaurant. The staff seemed rushed and weren't very friendly. Food truck owners are usually excited about their offerings and the service they provide and impart that to their customers. Not so at the Kilted Kod. read more

The Kilted Kod - Fish and chips, only they serve horrible coated fries. Never in my life have I been served coated fries at a chipper. - Seafood Near Me

I was mad craving something greasy this past Friday and remembered Kilted Kod typically hangs out at the Journey Church parking lot on this day. My last experience here last year was fantastic. I was really hoping for the same outcome but it fell just a tad short off. I ordered the same 2 piece Alaskan cod n chips ($10.00) as before, this time adding a side of homemade coleslaw ($1.50) and my husband (not a fish fan, weird dude) got the 2 piece chicken n chips ($12.00). The portions seem generous, but for the price it's okay. My cod pieces were definitely greasier than before. My first bite literally felt like eating fried grease. It also tasted rather old. Same with the fries. I didn't feel very good afterwards. The chicken strips were huge! I had a couple bites and they were awesome. I thought the coleslaw was rather watered down and tasteless. It definitely could have used more sugar or salt to enhance flavor. All in all it satisfied by yearn for an oily dinner but it was a little too much this time. I hate to have to drop my rating from 5 to 3 stars when my expectations were so high based on a wonderful previous experience. I'm a little weary to promise a return - at least next time I'll have an idea of what to expect. read more

Excellent fish, but that is what everyone already knows. Chips are fine, not the style that normally appear as chips in England. These are Idaho style chips. The cole slaw was not overpowered by mayonnaise like can happen. Overall, a good meal, but the cost is way out of balance to the product. The search for Fish and Chips continues. read more

The Kilted Kod - a menu on a red door - Seafood Near Me

Good flavor. Quite salty, so take that into account. Mine was excessively greasy though. The breading overpowers the fish a bit. Fries were good. Tartar sauce was good. read more

I removed 2 stars because The Kilted Kod is too inconsistent in their cooking quality. Once the fish was overcooked, and today it was greasy and undercooked. We were SO disappointed because we have really enjoyed the food there several times - just not ALL the time. We tried to reduce the oil on the coating with our napkins, and they became soaked. As a last resort we took the fish home and tried to finish cooking it. Ended up throwing out the coating, and eating only the cod. On the other hand, the fries and coleslaw were amazing! I think we are going to say goodbye to The Kilted Kod for awhile due to the inconsistency and the raised prices. read more

I love food trucks! The Kilted Kod is in our neck of the woods once a month. I have a short 30-minute lunch break, and so food trucks like The Kilted Kod always come in handy. Scottish Fish and Chips are their main claim to fame. But they also serve Chicken and Chips. And (get this) hot chocolate (seasonal only). The Kilted Kod is advertised as a "family-owned and operated business with the goal of providing the best food at the best value and giving the best service in the Treasure Valley." The owners traveled to Scotland and had the pleasure of eating traditional Fish and Chips on a daily basis. This allowed them to become more adept at the Fish and Chips business. Each order of Fish and Chips comes with malt vinegar. They go well together. The malt vinegar is also said to be effective at slowing down your blood sugar spike after eating high-carb meals (like Fish and Chips). If you order Chicken and Chips, then you get to pick between two types of sauce (ranch or BBQ). The dishes are reasonably priced. Two-piece fish and chips are priced at $10. Four-piece fish and chips at $14. Two pieces of fish and two pieces of chicken and chips at $14. Not bad, eh? I haven't tried legit Fish and Chips from Britain, hence I can't speak about the authenticity of The Kilted Kod's version. However, I do know that I liked their Fish and Chips. The fish wasn't fishy. Skin off. Lightly battered and so you can taste the Alaskan cod. Each fish was 3 ounces or so. Not crispy. Not too oily. Pretty large serving, I must say! Chicken was standard. But the fries were fantastic. Very crispy, just how I like it. The lady and the gentleman running The Kilted Kod were incredibly efficient. Lines can get long, but they make sure to fry the fish and chicken strips in advance to avoid longer wait times, yet they also make sure that each dish is served hot and fresh for their customers. Solid four stars in my book! read more

Always a favorite. Perfectly cooked fish and nice, greasy-yet-crispy fries. The fish is always flaky and delicious. Friendly service and the regular customers usually stand around chatting and laughing like people anticipating good food. One thing I always feed visitors to Boise. read more

The Kilted Kod - I didn't order four whole pieces of fish, nope. Your eyes deceive you. - Seafood Near Me

Absolutely the best fish and chips around! Rated so by a family from Australia who know good fish and chips - thanks so much!

I have driven past this trailer in multiple lots around Boise dozens of times. I love fish and chips, but never thought a good truck could do them right. I used to drive HOURS to Stanley Idaho, for what were the BEST fish and chips in Idaho - in my opinion, at the time. We recently went to Stanley to find the place closed. Sold and never coming back. I was crushed. We drove past this place for the thousandth time in Lowes lot in Meridian and I decided to try them out as I never got my fix in Stanley a few weeks back. It was PHENOMENAL! It's not good I can eat often, but when I can, there is no need to travel anymore. Just find this trailer and chill. Only wish I'd known what I was missing ten or so years ago when I passed them for the first time. read more

On my journey to find the best fish and chips, this place ranks supreme. Amazing fish and chips! Would highly recommend

I would recommend them because they served me the best fish and chips in Idaho. The food was hot and very tasty.

The Kilted Kod - Three piece fish and chips - Seafood Near Me

We have driven by this food truck for many years now and have finally decided to try the Kilted Cod's famous fish and chips. Thankfully we were able to get the last of the fish and chips because they were sold out after our order. However, because we were the last order, I think this affected the freshness of the fish and chips. All were very greasy and honestly had very little flavor. What made it even worse was, no fault to the establishment, we brought it home and everything was soggy. I'm sure my experience would of been much better if we ate it in the Lowe's parking lot with a little salt and fry sauce. ‍ read more

I drove across town because I was so excited to try Kilted Kod last night. It was a huge let down! I usually like greasy foods, but this was way over the top! The French Fries just dripped when you picked them up! And all that grease made me feel sick to my stomach in the middle of the night. The coleslaw was good though. I should have asked BOISE FOOD GROUPS first!!! read more

Family friends We are from England and this is the best fish and chips we have ever had. Impeccable service, fast hot, always extra fries. Worth every bite. Sometimes you can have to wait a while but only because it's so good everyone wants some. 10/10 go get some :) read more

The fish was so yummy and the tater sauce was so good! I will definitely be going back!!

I've seen this food truck parked every Friday for a few months now. It was finally time to stop and place an order. The fish was fried to perfection and very delicious. The fries are "crack fries" like the ones sold in Lincoln, NE at HopCat. The HopCat fries were voted Top 10 in America. The Kilted Cod fries are just as addictive. My only criticisms are the 1 tarter sauce cup per 4 pieces of fish. It should have two. And the Cole Slaw was very bland. No flavor at all. Maybe a pinch of salt and some pineapple juice. There is definitely room for improvement with their Cole Slaw. It's in a very small cup and costs a buck 50. Aside from that, I throughly enjoyed my 4 pieces of fish and chips. I was impressed...Thank you! read more

This little red truck peddles by far the best fish & chips I have ever had the pleasure of eating, and that is saying something! Huge portions too - a 4 piece is enough to split between two between two people and be stuffed all day. 15/10 do recommend! read more

Fish is consistently fresh and cooked to perfection. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They had a location near me but the last time I went they weren't there. Disappointing. read more

YUM!!! Omg the fries.....so good! And the fish! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside! Only giving them four stars cause they use styrofoam containers. This place is a must try! read more

The Kilted Kod - Fish n Chips! - Seafood Near Me

The Kilted Kod has been on my to-eat list for a long time now, so I was excited to find it on my drive home in SW Boise at the Cathedral of the Rock Church on Maple Grove, at a mini food truck roundup. According to the folks working, they park there every Wednesday evening. The food lives up to the hype! I ordered fish and chips, which was made to order, and served piping hot with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. The batter is light, crispy, salty, and super tasty. The fish was flaky and tasted fresh. The fries were the best I've had in Boise- perfectly prepared. Wherever you see the truck, pull over! 100% worth the stop. read more

This is the best food truck in the Treasure Valley! And some of the best fish and chips I've had. I'm so glad they have a regular day (Wednesdays so far) on the very west side of Meridian - 10 Mile and I-84. I've gotten several co-workers hooked and willing to drive with me from Nampa on several past Wednesdays. The pieces of fish are a good size and the batter is deliciously crispy. The fries are also perfectly crispy and seasoned. The texture of the fries/chips reminds me of a double-fried fry. So good when the malt vinegar spills on to them and even better dipped in the tartar sauce. And the tartar sauce - yummy! I need to remember to get an extra next time because I'm always scrapping every bit out of the cup with the last of my fries. Hubby loves their chicken and chips, but I haven't had those so I can't really comment on those. They have local BBQ sauces at the pick up window. They also offer a combo of fish and chicken with chips. Perfect for variety and options for non-fish people. Service is always friendly and the wait is never too long. But they get busy so I always plan to go before noon or after 1pm for lunch. They take both cash and cards. If you can find them parked at a local brewery you are in for a treat. This is food that is even better with a cold beer. Sadly the brewery we used to visit because The Kilted Kod was there has closed. If I didn't have the opportunity to have them for lunch I'd be happy to venture into Boise to track this truck down. read more

I highly recommend them without a doubt. Look no more if you're craving fish and chips. read more

It was cold & rainy when we decided to head on over to the MacLife parking lot to check out The Kilted Kod. We heard about it some time ago, but the stars finally aligned and we (a) were hungry (b) knew where the red truck was going to be and (c) were nearby. What a stroke of luck for us! Dad & I each ordered the fish & chips. ($7) They also offer chicken, but being the seafood-lovers we are, we might never be inclined to choose that over the fish. Anyway, each of our containers that we took home contained 5 very nice pieces of delicious & well-seasoned fish and a giant serving of fries. Tartar sauce and a packet of malt vinegar were included. Very pleased with the very friendly service and the wonderful food. Very good value for the money. We plan on keeping a closer eye on The Kod so we'll find ourselves in its vicinity more often. read more

The Kilted Kod - Delicious fish & chips -- tartar sauce & malted vinegar were included. - Seafood Near Me

I grew up in New England, then lived in NYC for 6 years and now I am in Boise. Had the three piece fish with fries and I was not disappointed whatsoever. Most people try and overcomplicate fish, but not these guys, the food was fantastic! Not too much batter, big meaty pieces of fish which tasted fresh and delicious. The fries were also pretty damn good considering they were fresh out of the fryer. I always thought it would be impossible to find decent seafood so far from the ocean but the guys at the Kilted Kod definitely made me feel like i was at home with that lunch, and all for about $8 which is absolutely amazing!! I would recommend this place over and over again, especially to my family from the east coast when they come and visit!! I would gladly and easily give them 5 stars any day, nice job guys!! read more
