    3-piece Alaskan true cod fish and chips. Hot and crispy. I wish it were battered instead of breaded. But it was still good.
    Big E.

    Up until now, I had zero experience with this local chain/brand. I found myself unexpectedly on this end of town and decided to give them a try. I might have been the first customer of the day. Very friendly person at the counter. I asked about allergens and ingredients (because I'm a no lactose guy). At first he wasn't sure, but then consulted the chart he had behind the register and showed it to me. I would've tried more items like the chowder, if I would've had some lactaid pills with me, but decided to go with a 3-piece Alaskan true cod fish and chips and a soda. The food came out lightning fast. I don't even think it was 5 minutes. I was surpised that it was a breaded style. I usually prefer battered. But it was hot and fresh tasting. Fries were hot and crispy as well. I really, really wish I had some lactaid pills with me. I wanted fried clams in a bad way. Next time. Anyway. It didn't knock it out of the park for me. But I didn't feel ripped off either. I still can't get used to the 10% restaurant tax in this area. So after tax and tip, over $20 is a little steep for lunch. But you'll be paying the same or more at BK or McD's, right?

    Salmon and chips 4 piece
    Adam C.

    I've been to a handful of different Iver's, all of which have maintained that same high quality of food and I'm happy to say this location continues to follow that trend! Mom and I split the 4 piece salmon and chips and the salmon pieces are so incredible. Large pieces, hot and fresh with that signature minimal breading we both liked and barely any oil residue. They were so delicious. The fries were fine, nothing that will blow your mind but you get enough to split and that's what we did. But the salmon dipped in their tartar sauce is THE BEST. It's always a good time to eat at Iver's :)

    Fish tacos

    Although we don't stop here often, we always enjoy it when we do. For starters the place is clean. I compare this to other sit-down and fast food restaurants. They might be fooling me, but I don't think so. Next, the staff-like they enjoy their job, appearing to want to be there, friendly and professional. This is key when looking for a place to eat. Many employees go by the numbers, no smile with little courtesy. This crew is customer focused. The food was hot and delicious with good portions. Everything considered we will return.

    Jumbo Prawns 'N Chips

    YES YES YES ! I love this Ivars so much, I have honestly been there 3 times this past month and it's been on point every single time! The food is always hot, fresh and flavorful. I always get the fish and chips half Cajun and my mom gets the clam chowder. We splurged today and got the Cajun baby shrimp and jumbo shrimp and you guessed it; it was amazing! And to mention that the customer service is always on point. They are so kind and definitely give you all the crackers and lemons when you need it. I even got extra cod today! The soda is nice and spicy too yum! The place is always clean too, which is comforting when you're eating good food. And of course, I'll be back!

    4-pc classic cod/chips $14, hot, fresh and tasty. Wish slaw included.
    Carol H.

    Would give 4 rating due to everything ( cleanliness, food quality and menu options), except prices. Although I do know good fresh seafood not inexpensive. I must say though one of my favorites, like many is the famous clam chowder. Hadn't been here in a while and this time we noticed it wasn't as thick/creamy, stronger on bacon flavor and shy on clams, so that was disappointing. Hoping it was an off' day. We also got the classic 4-pc cod/chips $14, very tasty but should have come w/ bit of slaw too so we ordered a side $3-4. Also got a clam/chips basket $10 also good. Portions are smaller than remembered. We asked for two small sodas than realized their only reg. size is 16 oz. and $3.25 each, ugh. I hate paying $3+ when don't usually get a refill. $7.50 for one cup each kills me but she also should have said they don't have small. Nearly $40 later for lunch, we had it eaten in under 15 mins. and just had chowder & slaw left to take home. Good but definitely need more specials and rewards to get people drawn to their good food. I'm afraid it's going to go under at this Puyallup location as eateries next to it we're busy yet only couple other tables while we were there. Also wish they had hush puppies.

    NO Super Clams, , just Super Breading

    No more clams I like Ivers Fish and cl chowder always hot and yummy, but don't get the Super Clams $12 but I could not taste clams, just soggy breading. After eating 3-4 pieces I decided to remove the breading so I could taste the clams. To my dismay I could not find a clam in several smaller strips and the larger ones Har a miniscule piece of clam and were 75% breading So if you dislike clams but like breading go for it Me? I will not order again and I fed my breading to the parking lot crows

    3 Piece Fish 'N Chips

    I am so surprised at the size of the fish pieces each time I go it seems the pieces get smaller and smaller I also ordered my fries crispy and they were not crispy and had no flavor. Been eating ivars my whole life and it's gone down hill will be looking for a new fish place

    Clams

    Recently, someone mentioned there was a gem of a burger place near the Fred Meyer on 176th and…read moreMeridian. I have driven past this place many times and never saw it. I finally ordered from them and let me tell you, I AM HOOKED! The fries were perfectly crispy and the burgers were huge. We ordered the club house sandwiches for lunch the next day and they were delicious. We also had to try the prawns, fried oysters, and clam strips. Unfortunately they were out of the oysters, but we will try again. I just wish they had a side salad option ;) I was told the owner is the cook - well 10 stars to you, because you care about what you cook. I should have taken a picture, but once I took the first bite, it was not on my plate long.

    Had to come try this place after it being recommended to me. I popped in for a takeout order which…read morewas a pretty quick wait. Order was taken at the counter and they bring your food out to you which I thought was a nice gesture of service. I ordered the cheeseburger with onion rings instead of fries. There was a charge for the substitution. The burger was good. The bun was soft with a nice chew and just a smidge of sweetness. The veggies in the burger were fresh and crisp. It was lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles. I liked how they wrap it so it's convenient to eat and you don't have to touch the burger. The burger tasted so clean and fresh. The onion rings were delicious! They had a good slice of onion in the batter and the fry was CRISP! It was crisp till the last bite. I will definitely be coming back to try other items off their menu.
