    fish & chip + krab cake
    Thien H.

    3.5 rounded up to 4. It's alright. Is the food on par with typical fish and chip places in England? No, but the pub decor is nice. I like the mini wooden barrels that the condiments and the napkins and silverware are placed in. I'm not sure why people were raving about the krab cake. It's imitation krab. It's not good or worth the stomach space in my opinion. I wasn't paying attention when my partner suggested we order it. I would rather the two pieces of fish combo in the future. The fish they use is okay. The fried sausage was a deep fried sausage. Not the tastiest sausage but the friedness was novel. The fries are solid. Slightly thick, a bit soft, but still crispy on the edges. Everything was freshly fried and served hot. The batter they use for the fish is different than the onion rings. I thought that the onion rings would use a wet beer batter on them but they were breaded, like bread crumb breaded. My favorite item was the fried mars bar for dessert. The beer that was recommended to me was half Guinness and half cider and it was refreshing to drink. They need to re-write the sign by the door. About 1/3 of the people get confused. One of the servers gets mad at people who wait politely by the door especially when the restaurant is full because they don't know whether to wait to get seated or to go all the way to the bar to ask for a seat and order. Instead of welcoming customers and letting them know that they'll be next to get seated or if there are people in front of them, she sternly said something like "You need to go to the front to order first before you can get a table." Well, that's kind of out of the norm and what is the front? The front door? Or is it the back of the restaurant near the bar? She meant the bar. Luckily we had a different server and she was nice.

    Camelot special

    I can't believe this was my first time at Camelot and not my last! I went on a Friday at around 1:30pm it was packed and we got the last table. Then a larger line built, wow I got a root beer on tap! It was refreshing and I got the Camelot special with everything in it. Yummy oysters, big chuck of fish, loved the shrimps. I usually like skinny fries but these were different, it had a nice creamy baked potato texture in the middle, which liked. It was perfect fried basket of goodness.

    Combination- fish, crab cake, fries
    Bianca R.

    I remember coming here with my family when I was younger and it was not how I remember it. $54 for 2 combinations, which contained 1 fish, 1 crab cake, and fries. The fish was okay but the batter on the fish was bland and not as crispy as it used to be, even slightly falling off. The fries are unsalted and very dry. Of course everything is fried but everything was quite heavy/ full of oil. You order at the register and it's then delivered to your table. The place is quite small and I noticed some waiting for tables. This place has been here for forever but in my opinion there are other more affordable and tastier fish and chip spots.

    Fish, clams, and chips!

    Came in for dinner last night while staying in Pacifica. It's a teeny tiny little pub and it filled up really quick shortly after we got there. The service was good- order/pay at the counter and they bring it out to you when ready. I ordered fish and chips and fried clams and all of it was great! The fish was crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. I really enjoyed the fries also, nice crisp on the outside and fluffy inside.

    Real chicken. Good chicken and chips.

    This place is fantastic. My husband and I love it. It's as close to my husband's home in Ireland as we can get in California. I actually don't like fish, so I appreciate the option for chicken strips! And they're exactly the kind I like. Flat, breaded, normal, not fake chicken, and crispy with a little bit of salt! Fabulous. Please never change the chicken or the chips!! I love the chips, especially the little crispy ones. We got takeaway and it was fast, hot, well-packaged, and yummy! My husband loved the fish & chips with salt & vinegar. Worth every penny.

    Such a cute spot, nice pub with date night lighting. Really enjoyed the fish it was hot and crispy, the fries were solid, but the fish was the star here.

    Camelot is a classic English-style restaurant with a very small, cozy interior -- about eight small tables and two bar seats. The atmosphere and decor are great and really sell the pub feel. You order at the counter and then sit, which works well given how busy it gets. A lot of people call in orders, and the place fills up quickly, but the food comes out fast and people tend to rotate through at a steady pace. It's a very simple menu with about seven protein choices, all done in the same classic fish-and-chips style, which keeps things easy and efficient. They do a proper Guinness pour, along with a few other solid beer options. The fish is Icelandic pollock -- not local, which I was hoping for -- but it is the traditional English pub choice. It's wild-caught, sustainable, and honestly a good quality fish even if it's not local.

    Amazing chips!!! The best ever!!
    Adriana M.

    How can I say this.... Camelot fish and chips in Pacifica has been a staple in my life forever! The food is always fresh and perfectly crisp where it needs to be!! I always recommend the customers at my work and even tourist to stop by and try this perfect hole in the wall spot! It's always the best and I can't ever get enough!! Love this spot ten stars across the board! The staff is super friendly and fast at their job! Can't thank them enough for always doing an amazing job ten stars as well!!

    Do one thing and excel at it. Exactly what is going on here. Firstly the pieces of cod are huge ! About the size of a palm . So order accordingly to hunger level. Crispy tender fish and perfectly fried chips. Paired with a pint of Guinness and we are home free. Service is friendly and efficient. Ambiance is British pub. If you sit outside wear proper clothing. Pacifica in the winter is chilly . JYW highly recommends

    Visit 7/4/2025 at 1:30pm Overall rating for fish and chips: 3.25 stars Camelot Fish & Chips has been on my list of spots for fish and chips! Place is small and only has 6 tables with a few window seating. So if plan on dining in, put your name on the wait list and expect a 10-15min wait during peak hours. No outdoor seating. I opted to take my order to go and graze in my car as I was taking a short break from visiting a relative at the rehab center nearby. If your first time, order/pay at the counter and wait outside for about 10 mins. Someone will come out and let you know when ready. Fish (pollock) was flaky, cooked perfectly with a light, crunchy exterior I expect from a delicious fish and chips. Sadly, the "chips" or fries were oddly DRY, spongy with no crisp at all. It wasn't due to take out as I dug into those fries while hot. Reheating them later would just make them drier...and I rarely leave a potato behind. Will definitely try them again as they have clam strips and fried mushrooms that I would get next time. Possibly the dry fries was just a bad day...Limited bottled beer and deep-fried Twinkies and Mars bar available Staff friendly and efficient. Pricing for 2pc fish and chips: $21 incl tax. Plenty of street and lot parking across the street

    Delightful experience visiting Camelot! =D The vibe here is casual and friendly. You feel like you've stepped into a fish & chips joint in London upon entering. You go up to the counter to order your food, which they then deliver to your table. The fish & chip is yummy here with the usual fix'ns (vinegar, tartar sauce). In addition to the quality of the food, I appreciate the flexibility offered here: you can specify the # of fish pieces you want, and whether you'd want chips with your fish, onion rings, sweet potato fries, etc. I opted for fish + sweet potato fries, and the staff member essentially order a 2-piece side of fish + a sweet potato fries side for me, which was perfect! They have Guinness on tap here. Were we not going on a hike after, I would've gotten it. Next time!

    I forgot to take pics of the food because it was eaten so quickly- that should tell you how much I enjoyed Camelot! We ordered a plethora of fried seafood including the fish and shrimp as well as the chicken tenders, mushrooms, and a side order of sweet potato fries in addition to the regular fries. The food came out in about 10 minutes and the young guy who took our order was super friendly and hooked us up with all kinds of condiments to-go! I thought the fish here was a huge win! Well fried and seasoned with a super thin batter. I wasn't a huge fan of the thick cut British style fries, but I know that is the traditional way and the menu did warn of that! The shrimp was great and chicken tenders are a huge portion. I thought the pricing was competitive to other places in the area as well. If you choose to eat in, you'll enjoy the fun British decor and classic pub vibes. Be sure to check it out!

    Camelot Combo
    Crystal Y.

    A strong contender for the title of "Best Fish and Chips in the Bay". I came 30 minutes before closing to see if I could grab a table to quickly eat but we were not rushed, in fact it was still busy up until closing. It's warm and cozy inside with the all the UK/Irish decor and lights. We ordered onion rings, a tall lager, and a Camelot combo (oysters, shrimp, 1pc fish, and chips). The onion rings were tasty but the breading was kind of thick. The seafood was great. But the highlight was definitely the fish. While everything else is panko breaded, the batter on the fish is crispy and airy, with the fish itself being fresh and flaky. Chips are also made British style, not the same as fries! Wash everything down with a cold beer and you're set.

The greeters were pleasant, with seating also instant, with some view of the Pacific Ocean. We were a party of three (my wife, her cousin, and I). We all ordered the open-faced crab sandwich with clam chowder. All items were totally on point (well prepared, delicious, and on point). The oysters on the half shell were tasty too. No cocktails; we opted for soft drinks. The service was attentive, and we lacked for nothing. My only observation was the bill came to over $320 with tip for three sandwiches (I have eaten at higher-end places many times, but fine dining has gotten a bit pricey). With rights to stroll on the beach after the meal if you wish, part of what you get is the experience. Still, I recommend Nick's for a very special meal with folks you care about.

We waked into a large dark wood ala refurbished 1970s interior restaurant with plenty of half circle booths, large tables for groups and bar and dace floor that seems to be available for live music. We came on what looked like and felt like a locals regular night full of families and well dressed seniors. I hate being seated by a busser station or kitchen listening to the noise or the staff thinking they can talk crap about customers because they are stacking dishes or running a credit card but that is exactly what happened. Being hangery (hungry-angry) makes us change our dining standards. This being said we had to listen to the young staff's complaining. My partner ordered and received a large seafood salad and I ordered fish and chips. My food tasted like a large refrigerator Orida fish patty that was fried and large slices of potatoes that came out of the same oil. Being from the San Francisco bay area I compare all my sea food to that and have to say that I was greatly disappointed with the lack of taste even though I see that it was "handmade beer batter" dish. Unfortunately, I dont have too many positive things to say about this place except it is a good place to cure hugry.

Had a nice light flavor, which I found quite tasty. The rice was a little hard, and the beans lacked flavor. I also thought pico de gallo was a bit bland as well. However the pickled slaw was excellent. Crunchy, with a nice acidity that brightened everything up. Aoli was also pretty good. The fish tacos looked good but at $9 a taco with no sides, it was a little hard for me to justify the price even with high quality fish.

Overall I would like to see this restaurant which has a lot of potential to take more pride in their food quality, and general aesthetics (coffee mugs/ slanted pictures on walls/ outdoor plant pots with just dirt in them) We are very disappointed that we had to spend our hard earned money on this experience but we hope to see it improve in time to come. Employees were very friendly which was a plus. We want to like this place but all of these things make it difficult to do so.

It's always been a dated space, but it has crossed over into musty and dirty. It didn't help that the place was also deserted. I felt like I was in a movie scene where the protagonist wanders into a deserted roadside cafe to order coffee and a sandwich from a rough-talking waitress and the only sound in the otherwise empty restaurant is the incessant droning of a ballgame from the ancient TV (hmm...that's kind of almost exactly what happened). This was mid-day on a Sunday when it used to be a hopping time for them. Granted, it was between Christmas and New Year's, but I suspect another part of it is that they no longer serve breakfast. Their breakfasts were hearty and delicious and a big weekend draw; sadly, the breakfast chef (I think he may have been one of the owners or the father of the current owner) passed away two years ago and breakfast was taken off the menu. I gave two stars because my sandwich and fries were still good, but I highly doubt I'll be back, ever. There doesn't seem to be any effort at all to create an inviting or even clean atmosphere. I remember being surrounded by other diners and hearing the happy chatter of families celebrating birthdays. Is it different at dinnertime? Possibly, but I just can't see how.
