If you haven't been to Zeke's you are missing out. The fried cod and eggplant are the best things on the menu. Even if you think you don't like eggplant, try it. I hear the zucchini is good also but I can't stay away from the eggplant. There are so many places to eat in Fort Worth but every time I drive over there from Dallas area I HAVE to eat at Zeke's. read more

We've been to Zeke's several times for lunch and have never been disappointed. It's a small place that looks like it's been around a while, and it has a lot of character. Our most recent visit was for lunch on 4/11/2025, and it was excellent, just like the other visits. I had the fish special: two pieces of cod, fries, and a couple of hush puppies. There are plenty of places where you can get catfish, but not many that serve good cod filets. My fish was delicious. It was hot, crispy, and the two good-sized pieces were all I needed for lunch, especially with fries. Parking can be challenging, so keep that in mind. Other than that, if I am looking for fried fish and chips, Zeke's is the top of my list. read more

Zeke's Fish & Chips - The fish special. - Fish & Chips Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Food was not like it used to be. Been going here since the 80s ..new owners ..not Zekes anymore. Cold flavorless fish , bland fries rude service. Sad read more

Really in the mood for fish and chips, so Mom and I decided to see what the hype was all about. We agreed that the hush puppies were great, the fries ok, and the cod was not flavorful. Well fried, but not much taste. It was a little pricey for just a two-piece fish and chips. read more

Awesome thanks! We love to come over for lunch. Fish temperature is hot, be careful

The fish was fresh and so yummy! Everything was hot a fresh and came out quick. The service was friendly and helpful. My one and only complaint is that the malt vinegar was kinda mid and didn't really have any flavor at all. BUT other than that, so good! read more

Been coming here for years & they never disappoint. Friendly staff & nice inside & outside seating. read more

My boyfriend wanted to try this place since he loves fish and chips. He ordered the special fish dish with 2 pcs of fish and I got the shrimp special with 6 pcs of shrimp. The fish was pretty good. The batter wasn't flavored much and the tartar sauce was ok. I did enjoy the shrimp and the cocktail sauce it came with. It was also a good amount of fries and it came with 2 hush puppies. Overall pretty good. Just felt like too much fried food in the end. read more

Zeke's Fish & Chips - Special Fish and chips Shrimp special and chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

It was 'OK' , but didapointed this last week when I went there. Was (I repeat WAS) a long time customer since about 1999..NO MORE. They did away with the Jalipeno hush puppies and changed the batter they use on the fish.. So sorry to see an old 'standby' go 'down the tube' when it got sold. read more

This is an old school joint that does it RIGHT! Everything is so flavorful, from the hush puppies to the Cole slaw and of course the fish and chips (and shrimp). Order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Prompt service, great food. I've just discovered a new spot on the lunch rotation. read more

It's been a while since I have eaten at Zeke's and the food has not changed one bit. My favorite is the cod but they do offer catfish and a whole lot of other options. They have cold drinks and beer that you can order by the pitcher. Hush puppies are on point! Wait staff is friendly and always helpful to make sure you have enough tartar sauce and dill sauce for you fried veggies or fried mushrooms. This place has a wholesome laid back vide that play classic rock while you eat. read more

Today, my wife and I visited Zeke's for the first time in several months. The service was great. As usual, we found the volume of the dining room was very loud. I asked them to turn down the volume of the music. The did that promptly. The food: We noticed the cod pieces were noticeably smaller and the overall quality of the meal had gone down. We were disappointed to say the least. read more

What a great visit to a Fort Worth institution that has been around for decades. Zeke's is one of the oldest restaurants in Fort Worth. If you want fish and chips, Zeke's is the place to go. Zeke's is old school with the malt vinegar on the table. My wife is not a big fish fan, so she ordered one of Zeke's phenomenal chicken salad sandwiches. They're known for preparing delicious chicken salad. With my fish and shrimp combo, I started with a bowl of perfectly prepared Cole slaw. Both of our entrees, my fish and shrimp and my wife's chicken salad sandwich were so delicious. It was great dining at Zeke's. We hadn't been there in quite a while, we'll have to return again soon. read more

Love the food there, EXCEPT tonight I ordered the creamy shrimp soup delivered via DoorDash. DON"T do it! The few shrimp in it were dry on the tongue and tough. One bite and I was DONE, spat out the mouthful immediately. Stupid me ordering shrimp soup! Everything is good at Zeke's (which is why I didn't think twice about placing that order). read more

I've been coming to Zeke's since I was a teenager, it's very nostalgic for me. I love their fish and chips. The service is nice. You order at the counter and they being it to your table. They also have an outdoor patio. I'll definitely be back. read more

First of all, the service here was great! The folks who worked there are the reason this gets 4 starts instead of just 3. I had the fish, shrimp n chips special. The fish (i chose the cod) was overbreaded and kind of greasy.i did enjoy the Shrimp. They were perfectly breaded and I did enjoy them. The building itself was kind of run down and walking through the kitchen to get to the bathroom was kind of off-putting- not to mention decidedly not ADA friendly. Again , I appreciated the staff for assisting me in getting up and down the steps required. read more

Zeke's Fish & Chips - Fish and shrimp Special - Fish & Chips Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I decided to take my partner here since we've been frequent in Fort Worth quite often. Celebrating their 55th anniversary it goes to show how great their food really is. It is very diving however it's still very homey. I've been visiting this location for the last 18 years and it never gets old. It is what it is sitting on the back side of Camp Bowie Blvd tucked behind Jack n the box. The staff is always so friendly and there are zero complaints here. Go on an empty stomach because you're going to leave so full and need a nap. Happy anniversary Zekes read more

Small hole in the wall but the food was great! Made to order! We shared the tacos (one each of cod, cat, and shrimp) - the tacos were gone before I could take a photo Then we shared a few of the combo baskets with catfish and shrimp, and those came with sides so we sampled - salad, fried mushrooms, corn nuggets, clam chowder, gumbo, dirty rice, and hush puppies! My only complaint was that we ordered 2 catfish and 1 cod combo and ended up with 3 catfish. We didn't realize until we stated eating so didn't speak up. Very good value for the amount of food we got. The combo special is a great deal...Would go back for the tacos for sure! read more

I've literally eaten at this restaurant since it opened in the 70s. When it comes to awesome fried fish, this is without a doubt the best in my opinion. The original owner sold a few years ago. But the new owners have kept everything the same. It's still the same place inside and out. read more

Friendly service. Affordable prices. The cod was excellent. Fried mushrooms are legit. Definitely the place to come for fried fish!

I love this place! And their deliveries hold up well. While I adore a lot of their menu (and it is big, so I haven't had everything!) their catfish is aces. I find it very well-priced. read more

I'm not sure what happened to the starter sauce. It used to be ok but now it is more like plain mayonnaise with a little mustard for color. Almost no pickle relish at all read more

This is my first time eating at Zeke's! I have lived here since 1974, I want to say the food was Great. I know I will be back. The tartar sauce needs more relish. The service time to pickup the order and get it back home was good, everything was still Hot! Lorie B. read more

Searched up fries fish and came across this place. The gumbo was soooo good. But the fish was mid. I will try again as they were close to closing hours. read more

We were really looking forward to trying Zeke's. I'm glad we did but it's probably a one-and-done. The good: Service was very good. Everyone treated us great. Very friendly! We split a cod plate and a veggie plate. Portion size. Everything was king sized! It was way bigger more than we could eat in 1 sitting. The quality of the ingredients. Everything had a fresh taste. (Even though I suspect the fried vegetables were pre-processed, not done in house) The cook. Everything, especially the cod, was cooked perfectly! It was all crispy and not greasy at all. It was very, very clean. The bad: Flavor. (Or lack of) Everything,especially the cod, had zero seasoning. No salt, no spices in the batter. Everything was really bland. Maybe that's authentic to English style? My wife, who is not 100% anti-salt (but she is anti-salt adjacent) even needed to add salt. Had the batter and breading been seasoned it would have been 5 stars and a definite do-again place. read more

On Friday, September 12, 2025, my wife and I decided to try Zeke's. We used to eat there years ago. Since then, they've changed owners a couple of times. Anyway, we took them off our list. The food was very good, not as greasy as it used to be. Portions were large enough. Back then, the service was never very good. Now they had great service. Also, the prices were about the same as it was five or so years ago. Zeke's is back on my list. read more

Great cod, excellent sides, the lightly battered eggplant, cold beer and magic bars for dessert.

I was not expecting much. It's hard to find good fish & chips in Texas, but wow this was good. Not greasy, not fishy, light crispy batter, flaky cod. So good. Hushpuppies were just right, not too sweet, lightly fried. The clams strips were great as well. Everything about the food is just right/not too much. Can't wait to go back. read more

Zeke's did not disappoint. Great food that was well worth the trip. I understand why this place has been in place since the very early 1970's... read more

They forgot our clam strips, but then delivered double clam strips for free! Also, their fried mushrooms are so good!! read more

Zeke's Fish & Chips - A cute little note! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

That got rid of the jalapeño hush puppies and replaced them with a new nasty hush puppy. Just lost a long time customer. Definitely will NOT BE BACK. I hate when restaurants make stupid decisions!!! Taking my business now to The Flying Fish. read more

A friend took me here for dinner. We arrived about a half hour before closing and dined in, which may explain the rather lackluster attitude of the staff. We were the only diners but ate our meal in a reasonable amount of time respecting the closing time. The fish was good, but not remarkable. We placed our order at the counter and had a coupon thru Yelp. The staff had to call a manager on the phone to get approval for the coupon: which seemed very odd as I showed them their page on the Yelp app. I might go back another time if i am in the area. read more

Stumbled on this gem on social media, it looked so delicious we made the drive to try it. One of the best shrimp I've had, and the fish and chips were amazing and battered to perfection. The staff were also great, they were polite and happy, just made our experience one to remember. read more

Zeke's Fish & Chips - Catfish and Shrimp Combo - Fish & Chips Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

So I ordered from here, on Uber eats, and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. For someone who grew up on fish fry Friday in Wisconsin this was almost like being back home! The cod was breaded and cooked so well and so flavorful! The tarter was a great pairing, and I did the mushrooms and fries. The mushrooms were really good, but I do agree that the fries are lack luster. However, as a whole it was so delicious. I also tried the gumbo! Spend that extra amount and get the bigger portion because it's going to be gone quick. It was still steaming when I received it! It was so fresh and so tasty. If you're a fish fry Friday, or a fish any day type of person than this place is worth ordering from. Obviously I had it delivered so I can't speak on service or ambiance, but the food itself is delicious! read more

Great local spot for fried fish. I enjoyed the breaded cod more than the catfish. The catfish was good, the cod was excellent. The service was attentive and friendly, the vibe was welcoming. read more

Yes very much yes. This is the best fish and chips I've ever had. The portions are great for the price and I really like the sides the offer. The sauces are pretty good too. I like the order first and they bring it out to you when it's ready service. I do think the dining area could use some work. read more

Loved our food. May be the best fish that I've ever eaten! Staff was so nice and helpful! Already been back! Highly recommend!!

We go to this restaurant as much as we can! It really reminds us of fish and chips in England. If you are looking for the real thing, this is where to go. Real batter fried cod. And Service is always friendly. read more
