I like hanging out in the area and was looking for something quick and easy to eat--Yelp pointed me to Ivar's Seafood Bar, so I gave it a shot. I ordered the fish and chips. I'm not usually a fish and chips kind of guy, but I can tell when food's good--and this was above average for sure. Plenty of parking, lots of tables, and the place was clean and well-kept, which made it a solid spot to chill and eat. Staff were nice--could've been a little friendlier, but no big deal. I'll probably come back and try the clam chowder next time. Not a bad find at all. read more

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? read more

Ivar's Seafood Bar - 3-piece Alaskan true cod fish and chips. Hot and crispy. I wish it were battered instead of breaded. But it was still good. - Seafood Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

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 :) read more

The fish and chips were absolutely delicious. We chose the Alaskan cod. Fish was very tender. Breading was perfectly seasoned and not overwhelming in quantity. French fries were tender on the inside and deliciously crispy on the outside. They have a very tasty tartar sauce that does not overwhelm the delicate flavors of the fish. Will definitely be a repeat customer. Staff at this location was very friendly and welcoming. read more

Water tasted like mineral seltzer. Tartar sauce was not Ivar's. Maybe mixed with another kind. ? My fish was wet and coating came off. Waited for waitress to bring tartar sauce and had to pump our own. The place was bazaar.......Going back to our old place. read more

Over priced and have changed the fish. I think it's some kind cheaper brand that they have changed to. I was a long time fan of ivar's but not anymore read more

Food was mediocre for fast food. Restaurant was clean, staff was kind. Food was disappointing

Always great service and good food, the only thing I will say that kept it from 5 stars is that occasionally the food will taste like it's sat there for a while before we got it, but they never have an issue to replace your fries if they're crappy. read more

We have had lunch and dinner here several times. We start with clan chowder and then split a four piece fish and chips. Lately, we have started to bring our grandsons. We always have a great time. The food is good and the service is always very friendly. read more

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. read more

Ivar's Seafood Bar - Fish tacos - Seafood Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

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! read more

Quality fried seafood with a clean fast food restaurant. Enjoyed there clam chowder & seafood combo. Portion size was reasonable for the price. Will come back again when craving fried seafood. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Ivar's Seafood Bar - NO Super Clams, , just Super Breading - Seafood Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

Worst ivars experience I've ever had, they don't have popcorn shrimp and the drive thru was exceptionally bad, I kept asking what kind of deserts they had and they listed off the drinks... would not recommend read more

A wonderful place to go! The seafood is always cooked perfectly in light oil, portions are generous, and the robust flavors make it more like a dessert (Nobody does seafood like Ivars) !!! The actual store manager came out to ensure our meal was to our liking, and between that, the gentle music and very very clean surroundings makes this place our new fave! The sweet tartar sauce is to die for! read more

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 read more

I had been craving clam strips for the longest time! Up in Washington visiting family, but where I live I could not find quick clam strips in the area (especially during the whole quarantine). I knew about Ivar's, but only recently got into seafood the past few years. We went through the drive thru and it was fairly quick even though we were behind a good handful of people. Still hot by the time we got home all the way past downtown! So delicious, definitely filled my craving! Enjoy this originally Seattle restaurant! read more

This place was great, the eating area is spacious and there is a lot of parking available. Outdoor sitting and drive-tru is also available. The staff was attentive and the food came fast. I had the tacos, they are pretty big and I totally recommend it. I didnt like the chips and salsa though. We also ordered fried oysters which were good but I prefer them fresh. The french fries were pretty good too. Their menu is extensive and everything sounds pretty good. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Good food and the price is not bad and the place is clean and the staff is nice and polite

The the customer service was great. The food was fresh and hot and he got my order right I didn't have to go back in and get anything that he forgot he was absolutely fantastic. read more

Been here several times. This location is pretty big. Have not been disappointed. Customer service is excellent. Food is delicious!! Love to eat the cod fish n chips, white clam chowder and tiramisu (made in Italy). I love how the clam chowder has generous amount of clams than potatoes. The clam chowder here is best compared to San Francisco Fisherman's wharf (more potatoes then clam). Establishment is normally clean. I keep coming back!! =) read more

Quick and sassy and doesn't disappoint. I've never been inside the restaurant itself but the drive thru works just fine for me. I love the fish and chips and chowder. read more

Very good. Cod, slaw and rice. All three dishes were very good. Good food. Good service. Clean restaurant. Thank you

Food Good! Expensive for what you get Service not great but it's puyallup Puyallup ..... read more

The shrimp were not cleaned (I understand, but having to 'de-turd' my own shrimp from a fast food place.... EEEWWWW.) Fish was soggy and the panko breading was definitely not fried at temp. I will never come back to an Ivars. read more

Their customer service is consistently amazing. Every single time that I've been there, their employees are so nice and honestly, that helps with the wait for your food. Went in this weekend and they were slam packed. But they still greet you with a smile and are so kind. I always ask for extra sauce and they really hook it up! :) The food takes awhile (15 mins?) but it's because they're so busy on the weekends and it takes some time to fry the fish. But it comes out freshly cooked and hot, so I'm okay with it. read more

Yum!! Fast, efficient drive they service in the age of covid. Best chowder, crispy fish, chips and chilled classic Ivar's tartar. Stop by - you won't be disappointed! read more

The one in Seattle is better. This place has high prices for decent seafood. Their jumbo prawns are just regular shrimp. Their clam strip basket was the only thing that we got that makes us want to go back. read more

My wife and I love fish and chips as well as clam chowder. Since we live in Nevada we make Ivar's our first stop whenever we visit our son and his family. This last stop was kind of disappointing. The size of the fish pieces was pretty small when you look at the price. The chowder was just OK. We have several places in Vegas that are much better. Ivar's isn't bad, but it could be so much better. read more

What a great experience. We have lived in the area a few months and finally decided to try out this location. We give this location a gold star. The lady who helped us in the drive through was nice and when I mentioned how much my wife loved ketchup she did not hesitate to give us a few more. Food is fantastic. We will be back very soon. read more

Ivars is amazing. They have the best fish and chips and chowder around. And the prices are pretty decent for seafood. Fish and chips are about $7, and you can get the full boat special for $22 which comes with ten pieces of cod, a basket of fries, two coleslaws, and two cups of chowder. This serves about 2 to 4 people. I am not a big clam chowder person, but this stuff is incredible. You definitely want the white chowder not the red. You can have as many crackers as you want and I love to dip them in my chowder. The fish is super fresh and flaky, not a big grease sponge like at some places. By far my favorite inexpensive fish joint read more

Fish tacos. Then again the next day. Such is how I feel. Fish n chips were a hit as well. Never saw the inside. On this trip filled with grok-outs at odd hours, I needed you to shine your lighthouse beacon upon me. This is 10x better than Long Johns and its ilk. I'm battling internally whether to break out the Fifth Star, which is usually reserved for Chik Fil A. However when I needed a light meal, you were there for me. read more

Meh? For the good amount of fish here in WA, this place is blah. It's quintessential fast fried food...the girl at the counter was super nice though, but pumping tartar sauce and eating tiny, fried shrimp was just a no for me. read more

It's run of the mill seafood. Overpriced. Facilities are good but portion size relative to cost is out of balance. Regrettably, I've tried to appreciate the fish and chips, but find it difficult to see what makes the food special? Am I missing something here ? read more

I really like this Ivars and I would give them more stars except that they have added a "waiter" to the seating area. He is a senior citizen and a bit shaky. He told me to sit down and it was his job to get the condiments and refills. I watched him manhandle another customers cup, lid and straw. Keep in mind he is clearing everyone's dirty trash away and carrying around a dirty rag with him with no hand washing in between. Yuck! NO THANKS! If this continues, I will skip lunch here. I do love their fish tacos. They are delicious and grilled. I recommend them. read more
