    3 Piece Fish 'N Chips. 5 Piece Cajun 'N Chips. Bowl of White chowder
    Denise T.

    Came here on a whim and forgot how charming this place is. Everything's the same and you can't go wrong with the basics- a bowl of chowder with fish and chips. Staff is super sweet and make you feel at home.

    The food was fresh and delicious. The service was great. This location doesn't has a Drive-Thru window. There are plenty of parking.

    I live in California so I don't get Ivar's very often. Seems that most places serve beer battered fish....sorry but the smell of hot beer turns my stomach. I had the cod and fries with a solo clams. The food was served quick and hot. The fish was mild, no fishy taste. The clams were seeet and crispy. Alyssa took our order, she was friendly and professional!!! Hope to be back soon.

    4piece 4 Piece Fish 'N Chips and Smoked Salmon Chowder
    Tina H.

    The staff were very friendly and very polite. Especially the young man who served us. The 4 piece cod fish chips were delicious. Fries were crispy and tasty. Both were very fresh! The Salmon chowder had one tiny bit of salmon and was mostly potatoes. Also a tad too salty for me. Would have given 5 stars without the chowder.

    Call to order food and didn't answer phone. They said he had a line out the door and we couldn't answer the phone

    Grilled Salmon Plate ($13.25), Jumbo Shrimp/Halibut/Mixed Baskets ($9-14)

    Takeout during Covid. Ordered a variety of things here: mixed seafood basket ($9.65), shrimp basket ($10.65), grilled salmon plate ($13.25). I'd definitely go for the fried foods here. Fried oysters were my favorite, nice and crispy. Fries were standard. Unfortunately I thought the grilled salmon was super dry :( the rice was great, it tasted like the Uncle Ben's microwaveable Wild Rice which I love. Food was ready fast!

    This place hit the spot. We've eaten here once at the restaurant so this was the first time we ordered through UberEats. I had the clams and chips. The oil they cooked the clams, fish, and chips was so clean! We were pleasantly surprised. The clams had a good crunch and wasn't overly chewy. The chips were great. Lots of meat in them and again very clean. The clam chowder was also good. It was creamy and thick and they included saltine crackers with them. Well definitely be ordering that again. Their cornbread was so good!! It had moisture and was soft and fluffy! I'll definitely order that again!

    Great service and the fried scallops were delicious and perfectly crispy. I highly recommend trying this particular ivars since the seafood seems more fresh than other locations. Most likely faster turn around on their inventory.

    The Classic Cod Fish 'N Chips. I love their tarter sauce. You can even sub the fries for onion rings. But love it all.

    Ivar's Fish & Chip has been around for many decades. I have not found any fish & chip establishment that compares. There are others that are very good, but doesn't come close to Ivar's. I'm so happy that there are so many around the Washington State. I am especially happy that there is one close to my house. The staff at the Kent Ivar's are so nice. Their menu has so many great options, it is so hard to choose from. My favorite is a 5 piece fish & chip. I also enjoy their Caesar salad, Halibut, onion rings and etc. Shout out to 2 amazing people at the Kent location, they are awesome with their customer service, and they have a great personality. Lead Joyce, and General Manager Harouna always makes me, my friends and family feel welcomed and comfortable. The atmosphere happy when I come in. They honor Senior Citizens prices and punch card benefits.

    Nothing special. Fast food restaurant for your basic fried fish fix. Check for coupons or specials for discounts for a better value.

    I've been here several times and it's exactly what you'd expect from a seafood bar. Fast service and good food for the price.

    Great friendly service. Loved the halibut. Cod was great. Clean restaurant, but uncomfortable bench seats in the booths.

    Staff was friendly, but the seafood is pretty awful. I won't be back to any of their locations.

    I do not like leaving a bad review but for the price point I paid, folks should know…read more 1. $9.89 for 6 boneless chicken wings which were tiny. VERY Tiny. For the price, you'd best to go to Wingstop and double your food for just a little more. Very underwhelming. 2. $5.99 for coleslaw side that looks like about 1/2 cup. Um, really? Again, portion not worth the price point. I will never order from Popeyes again. I feel like I so overpaid for so little.

    I rarely leave reviews, but what I witnessed here was so unprofessional and toxic that it would be…read moreirresponsible not to document it. The on-duty manager (a Caucasian heavy set woman with a pony tail on top of her head) created one of the most hostile, disrespectful environments I've ever seen in a customer-facing business. She was openly rude and dismissive to Uber Eats and DoorDash drivers, speaking to them as if they were beneath her and an inconvenience rather than partners helping the store function. The tone was condescending, sharp, and unnecessary. Worse, she treated her own employees even more poorly--talking down to them, belittling them, and addressing them with visible irritation and contempt in front of customers. That is not leadership. That is abuse of position. A manager sets the emotional temperature of the entire store, and this one set it to toxic. When a store is behind, a leader steps up, communicates clearly, supports their team, and de-escalates stress. This manager did the opposite. She projected blame, hostility, and ego. Being overwhelmed is not an excuse for being cruel. Being in charge is not a license to degrade people. I attempted to be polite and even wished her a better day, and the hostility remained. That tells you everything: this wasn't a bad moment--it's a bad management style. No customer should have to watch employees be spoken to like that. No delivery driver should be treated like they're subhuman. And no company that values its brand should tolerate a manager who lacks basic communication skills, emotional control, and respect for others. Someone above her needs to intervene immediately. This is not a training issue; this is a leadership and character issue. I own a business and would never dream of talking to anyone like she chose to today.

    My co-workers hyped up this spot for me and I can easily say that this is probably one of the best…read moreMexican spots that is not only really affordable but delicious. Additionally, their salsa bar actually packs good heat and so many different types of condiments or salsas that compliment their food. The service here is pretty non-existent but that's not really an issue for a spot that you go to order and you pick up, refill your drinks or whatever else you need and bus your own table. The food portions are also huge here so come hungry or be ready to be full for most of the day and have leftovers. I got the tamales, my boyfriend got their chimichanga and we got a jumbo taco with cabeza and carne asada. The food took a bit of time to come out but it looks like they were having a steady flow of customers coming in and going. When we did get our food, it was piping out and delicious. The beans here were meh, but the rice was decent. The meats are generous in all their entrees. They also have a great special for Thursdays where you get a drink, fries and a torta for 7.49 plus tax which we got for my brother and he enjoyed his chorizo torta. The fries weren't anything impressive but for the price, it really is a great deal! Plus they are open 24 hours which means you can good priced food or drinks any time of the day.

    Very Cali in style. Nice people, lots of selections, plenty of seats, heats and eats. Salsa bar is…read morepretty spicy. Beware the green stuff that looks like guacamole, it is more like Mexican Wasabi, made me cry tears of pain and joy.
