My wife and I both really love good fish and chips. We were spending 4 or 5 hours in Redding on Friday and I looked up seafood in Redding for lunch as we live up in the town of Mt. Shasta. Lighthouse was one of the options that showed up, menu looked good so we drove over. What a pleasant surprise we found. Both order 3 pc fish and chips with a cup of clam chowder. Both got 4 pieces of fish which were crispy and fantastic. We will definitely make this a regular stop when we are down in Redding in the future. Staff was friendly, restaurant was being cleaned constantly while we were there. read more

I like this place very much it is always so good the fish is perfect the clam chowder is Devine I would recommend this place highly

Hi there! I give 4 stars to that place. We got clam chowder and it was really good. My husband got in bread and for me was in cup (which comes with very delicious bread). We also tried fried chicken and fish, honestly I can't say I liked it (that's why I can't give 5 starts). The atmosphere of the restaurant is super nice, people are friendly! Wish you good luck and lots of customers!:) read more

Been eating there for years, people are friendly, and the food is good. My wife and I always get the fish and instead of the chips we get onion rings, and they are delicious. read more

Great food and good service. I like fish and chips and I am glad that I decided to try out The Lighthouse.

The fish strips are thin and over fried. The fish is chewy and tiny inside. The extra piece of fish they gave was a nice gesture but maybe just use bigger pieces of fish. read more

This place has one hell of a bang for the buck That is if you get the cook who knows how to do tempura batter correctly because I've been here twice and the first time the batter was not up to snuff as it was the second time. The french fries are the run-of-the-mill wavy cut and generous in portion. It wouldn't take much to liven those up with some Panko and spices but this place is no-frills. By the time you're done eating you feel you've have your fried food quota for the year but it was a good time getting there. Plenty of sauce variety for your dipping pleasure including ranch from the back if you ask for it. The only real detractor is the ambience which could really use an upgrade. It looks like they scored on the refuse from an 80s fast food joint remodel but the core of 50's plus, bargain hunting clientele don't seem to mind. read more

This place has some very decent fish and chips, the prices are excellent and the staff is friendly. I'm always happy to go here when the family needs something tasty and quick. read more

The fish portions are top notch and fresh. The cocktail sauce is spectacular. The fries, not so much.

My boyfriend and I like to eat here every week practically. They're generous with their servings. The fish is Alaskan Pollock (which is similar to Cod)... breaks apart with your hands, is white and has no bones; it also has a nice light flavor. The only reason I'm not giving a 5-stAr rating is because out of 9, I had one order (& only one piece) that was over-cooked. I just should have taken it up front... as I know now, they're nicely, very accommodating. read more

Good quality and fresh cooked seafood for a reasonable price. We take out- not rating about their ambiance.

I'm a bit disappointed in this place tonight. I know place have off days but the girl taking the order told me I couldn't get 1 piece fish and 1 piece chicken. When I call and place my order with the men, they always do it. I know I can add a piece of chicken for an extra price. Instead I had to pay for the 2 piece fish and 2 piece chicken but let me tell you, the chicken tenders are usually real good tenders. They were little and smaller than the palm of my hand. Now the fish, they always throw in extra which is great but it was soggy in the middle and burnt on the ends. I had to take the batter off. The fries were still great. When we went to pick up, the girl was rude again. Maybe just not a customer service person? I will only go on weekends now and hope she's not there because that's when we usually get the cool and sociable guys. read more

The Lighthouse - What is this little chicken tender - Seafood Near Me - Redding, California

Nice little place for some fried seafood in Redding. All of the basics are offered, including fish and chips, prawns and chips, etc. Wife and I stopped in for lunch and had clam chowder and a couple of side salads. You order at the counter and the staff brings your food to the table when it's ready. Portions were excellent, the chowder was hot and creamy, and the salads were fresh. Love that they don't skimp on the salad dressing. There is a selection of bottled beers and wine, and a nice touch for a casual little place like this is that they offer you a frosted mug for your beer! read more

Good choice of food more than you can eat nice open and airy restaurant service was excellent and the price was right

Great place food was great I had the platter More food then one man can eat Wife loved her fish and clams Fast service not fancy would go again read more

Sure like this plsce. Bern.hoong for almost 3 year's. Good service and real good food. You oder 2 piece fish chips and always get 3 pieces of fish. Good for two people We go 3 to 4 times s month. read more

Got fish & chips to go, but NOT enough tartar sauce! "Do you want sauce with that?" Yeah, duh! Good thing we ordered extra coleslaw, cause they forgot that too. It was busy, or could be new employees. Usually good though! read more

Got the fish and chips and clam chowder- super oily but generous portions. One order is good to feed 2 people. Clam chowder was ok but I tasted bately any clams or any potatoes. It was all chowder. read more

Great place for fast deep-fried seafood! Next time we come back, we'll order the lighter batter option. The scallops were great!

The Lighthouse is far better than their look-a-like in Anderson. Do not bother going there. The Lighthouse on the other hand, is great. The joke in town is if you order 1 piece of fish you get 2 but pay for one or if you order a 2 piece you get 3 but pay for 2 etc. I thoroughly enjoy their calamar. Insomuch the calamar it is processed into a steak, then sliced, they have a great batter for it and cook it perfectly. Honestly I have not had anything that was bad other than an occasional piece of fish what is very fishy and appeared to not be cleaned properly. Lots of silver skin and a bloodline which is fishy. That happens at all fish houses but this place generally has great fish. I don't like fish but on occasion i have a craving for it and this is where I go to fulfill the craving. I go monthly or so and enjoy it every time. Do not forget to ring the bell at the door when you leave - it is expected! Manga! read more

We look forward to eating at The Lighthouse when ever we come to Redding. The food is always consistantly good. Priced right. It's always clean. The employees have always been friendly and efficient. read more

Shout out to the genius behind the fried bread and clam chowder combo. I'm dipping slices of the fried bread into the clam chowder. I'm eating spoonfuls of clam chowder and stuffing the fried Parmesan cheese bread into my mouth simultaneously. I'm in heaven. read more

This place is surprisingly good, I would say much better than a lot of "fish and chips" (reads: tourist traps) place on SoCal beaches. Tried this place out on my way back from a pacific coast road trip, and among all the fish and chips place I tried in this trip, this place is maybe only second to a restaurant on coastal Washington in a actual fishing village that has access to out of water fresh crabs and prawns. The clam strips here are especially good. Don't let the esthetics fool you. It's crunchy on the outside and chewy umami on the inside. Definitely my favorite. read more

Highly recommend! Staffs are friendly and efficient. I have never experienced such a big portion of fish and chips. Size for each pieces are big and tasty. Clam chowder was not salty like Ivar's. We love their clam chowder. Love their lighthouse decorations around the restaurant. Price is right! Definitely will return in the future when we go for another road trip. read more

We recently tried this place for the first time when our first choice was closed due to "staffing issues." Now, I am a huge fan. The food was delicious, and freshly prepared. The service was efficient and friendly. The place was clean and nicely decorated. They had plenty of easily accessible condiments (ketchup, cocktail sauce, tarter sauces, etc...). The serving sizes portions were extremely generous, we ended up taking a lot of leftovers home. The clam chowder was perfectly creamy, and not too potato chunky. I will certainly be returning in the future. read more

We tried this place for the first time today. It's literally 2 mins from our home making it a grate location. We were in the mood for fish and chips but didn't want to go into a sit down restaurant so we gave it a shot. It was so delicious!! We split 4 pieces and it was more then enough for the both of us along with the fries and coke slaw. We walked out with two full sized meals for under $20. We couldn't of been more pleased and we definitely recommend this place... read more

Fun, cute place, HUGE meals, extra crunchy!! Will definitely go again next time are in the area. Good prices read more

I am giving the Lighthouse a 5 stars This place is so far one of the best places in Redding, Ca, not only because the yummy sea food, is also because their friendly staff. Every time they will welcome you with smile, they also add an extra of whatever you order on your plate, plenty of sauces and extras. I 've been a client for almost 15 years , in and out of Redding Ca, is always nice and pleasant to come and have my seafood cravings meet there :) read more

Great fish and chips! You get an extra piece of fish with each order. Definitely recommended!

Since this is seemingly one of the few fish and chips places in Redding, I'm guessing the people here were just craving fish and chips and had no choice but to come here. They offered light battered fish and chips, so I opted to try those. I also ordered the pint sized clam chowder. The clam chowder was like 85% soup and potatoes and 15% clam. I could barely taste or find any clam. For such a huge portion, I was greatly disappointed. The fish and chips batter was salty enough that I didn't need any sauce to dip the fish in (they have tartar and cocktail sauces). The amount of batter for light battered fish and chips was good. I can't imagine how much batter they put for regular fish and chips. The fish wasn't that fresh and the fish they used was thin. But they did add an extra fish even though I ordered a 2 piece fish and chips. As for the crinkle cut fries, I doubt they're as fresh as in n out fries, but at least they were crispy. The coleslaw was crunchy and good. Overall, I wasn't that impressed. I've had better fish and chips and clam chowder. read more

Love the 2pc (really 3 pc) fish and clams! Light batter option is awesome, very nice people.

Although this place has been there for 20+ years my wife and I have only recently discovered it. While it is nothing fancy the food is simply delicious. Food portions are huge and everything appeared fresh. Some of the best clam chowder outside of San Francisco. Friendly staff in a clean environment good selection. Reasonably priced. We will definitely be back. read more

Great service and even better food ! They always throw in extra piece of fish or whatever you order read more

Counter order restaurant. Not a favorite. Lots of food, but could be much improved if they changed the oil. Very Hot, but everything, fish, shrimp, zuchinni, was very heavy on the grease. read more

Cute place to go for some fried fish and chips. The service is great and the food comes out fast. They have daily specials and you can substitute coleslaw and the fries with a lot of options. I got fried zucchini, fish, clam chowder, dole fruit cup and drink for a little over 11.00. I had left overs and fried I reps. There are 8 deep fried oreos and they are delicious and chocolatey. read more

Great food! Great service! Good prices! And we will be back, again and again! Thank you, Lighthouse!

Visiting family in Redding, we stumbled across the most UNLIKELY place for great fried seafood. We got the clam chowder and the Lighthouse platter, which comes with fish, clams, calamari, shrimp and fries. The chowder was just ok (not bad, but not worthy of banners and balloons) but the rest of it was really, really good. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. read more
