We went here for a quick lunch. This is fast food deep fried fish and chips. nothing spectacular about it nothing bad either. I had the sloppy fish sandwich with cheese. This was a breaded manufactured fish filet, probably a frozen one, on a bun topped with a cheese slice and coleslaw. The service was fast, the food ok. I will come here if I'm in the area and it's lunch time, but I won't travel across town just to go to Pete's. The price is reasonable. They are a cash only place. read more

Pete's Fish & Chips - Seafood Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

For the life of me I cannot understand why people like this place!! Stopped by the drive thru for some lunch today and first thing I noticed was the big CASH ONLY sign on the wall. Seriously, what functioning business doesn't accept cards these days. Get with the times guys. Not to mention they will not accept a bill over $20 (tried to pay with a fifty on a $32 order and was told NO). Now for the food... gross! I have had better fish and chips in an elementary school cafeteria. The fish was overly breaded and over cooked. The fries were soggy and tasteless. Then, their so called "special sauce" is just watered down ketchup. Nothing very "special" about it at all! Needless to say, I will not be returning here again. Long John Silvers has better food and better prices. Oh and service with a smile or at least some kind of emotion would help. read more

Pete's Fish & Chips - Combo #2 - Seafood Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I do really like Pete's, but it's so frustrating they are a cash only business. With corona virus causing a coin shortage, one can only hope they will leave from the stone-age and get a card reader as part of their point of sale like the rest of world. read more

Family favorite ! Haven't been here and a year and I've been gone for too long. Same great food and a lot of food for the price! Always get extra sauce maybe even a few sometimes! The shrimp and chips is my fav ! Had to bring my friend in she had never heard of it ! She said the chicken strips were some of the best she ever had ! She did ask for a side of ranch ! Lol smh ! She didn't know any better ! Ha ha read more

Love love love this place! I've been going here since I was a child and nothing has changed since then. It is a particular taste and you will have cravings for the magnificence that is Pete's Sauce. The Rice Krispy is the best you'll ever have, perfectly melty and tasty! Don't forget to get Onion Rings if it isn't Friday, you won't regret it!! Also Don't Forget to Bring Cash!!! read more

I ordered the 10 piece shrimp and chips and I was disappointed. I've been coming to this place since I was a kid and just today I found a hair in my shrimp! Once I found it, my stomach instantly turned. So disgusted. I've never experienced anything like this before. read more

Pete's Fish & Chips - Hair found in shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I have heard about Pete's and had always wanted to try it. I happened to be waiting across the street for a bus, so I decided today was the day. I should have caught the bus. It wasn't BAD food, but it was a long way from what I'd imagined. The fish isn't even something unique; it's frozen patties, deep fried and served. The chips (french fries) are also frozen. Blech! They provide some ketchup-based sauce (ostensibly) for dipping. I asked for tartar sauce and was told it was $0.35 for 2 oz or $0.70 for 4 oz. (What a bargain) I declined. The fish and fries were not the worst thing I've ever eaten, but for $5 bucks I would like more than frozen fish patties and frozen fries thrown into hot fat and chunked on a plate. I won't be paying Pete a return visit anytime in the near future. As an aside; this particular location (I can't speak for other locations) has outdoor seating. Only. Today was a nice day and sitting outside was nice. But there are no restrooms available. Save your money for better quality food elsewhere. read more

I love petes! Their shrimp and chips is awesome. They make the food when you order it and their Pete's sauce is yummy! I go often.

Best food for an affordable price! We go here often and it always tastes great! They have the best fish and shrimp. 10 out of 10 stars!

I have always liked going to Pete's except today i was very disappointed with the Pandemic going on i noticed No one was wearing a mask one of the kids working there had it hanging over one of his ears i dont think ill be going there anymore read more

4 stars for always being the same. If you have never been here I am not sure what the draw would be. Lol. Unless eating fish sticks reminds you of your youth. For me the flavor of fish and Pete's sauce brings back a lot of years of memories so I just must have it a couple times a year. Never disappoints EXCEPT by now I would think they could have figured out some way to have a restroom. When they get one I may just make it a monthly stop. Fish - perfect fish stick! (1.65) Pete's sauce and coleslaw on top - yummmm. Had the superburger (1.35) today. Much like a Whataburger. The guys waiting us looked less than thrilled to be there. Not sure what that was about. But all in all same as always. read more

So good! Quality food and staff! Born and raised in Arizona and still have not found a better fish and chips place. In fact just had a bad experience today with a competitor and now have an excuse to make the trip over to West Mesa to get me some Pete's! Maybe I'll get a sticker too. That Pete's sauce and fry sauce is so good. read more

First time! So good! Not a seafood eater BUT the chicken was soo good and crispy and crunchy nothing fancy but bomb!! And the Pete's sauce is soo good great alternative since the have no other sauces for dip! I'll definitely be back for sure! Also dont forget CASH ONLY! He had quick friendly service by employee! read more

I was in the mood for fish and chips and I have driven past this place several times and there are always people eating here. Its just a hole in the wall with some outdoor seating. The prices aren't too bad but after having the fish and some shrimp I guess it's because they know what their food is worth. It's not horrible, it's just ok. It tastes like a cheaper frozen fish stick they used to serve in the school cafeteria. I'm not a fan of the sauce they serve either. Just give me good old tarter suace, none of that runny whatever it is. Some customers must like it because they charge for it. It's not my thing though. All in all, if I'm really in the mid for fishand I'm in the area i may stop by. It won't be a place i will crave though. I would go but some Gordon's Fisherman breaded fish. But if I want excellent fish and chips I'll have to go to Bakersfield, CA and go to the downtown bowling alley and go inside to their little fish restaurant. I swear they have the best fish you will ever taste. Yes, the Bakersfield bowling alley. Trust me. If your ever near there stop in andhave great fish and bowl a game. read more

Soda machine is broken and they still charged full price for a meal. I understand they are very busy, but the guy taking the orders at the drive thru board lacked customer service. read more

never again most overrated fish and chips restaurant in the Phoenix metro. fish was Two little squares and shrimp was overcooked mostly breading. do not waste your money repeat do not waste your money. read more

Delicious love Pete's Fish and chips‼ Highly recommend But I am disappointed that it's not on door dash for delivery !

Hey, this isn't a bad review, but you need to know what you're gonna get. Large portions of food... Yes, but for folks that don't want to get a fish stick. Don't come here unless you want the chicken strips. I wanted fish. If you see the photos on any of the reviews of the fish, that's what you'll get. One poster said it reminded him of the frozen fish sticks that his mom used to make. If you want chicken strips, then you'll love theirs. read more

Pretty pricey for such underwhelming food. Long John Silver's did fish n chips better. The best thing we experienced tonight was the corndog and the fry sauce. The fish tasted like anything I could have bought in the freezer section of Basha's and the shrimp nothing but batter. read more

Been here dozens of times and each time is delicious and very very reasonably priced. Be aware that this establishment only takes cash though (but they have an ATM on site). This last time though, I ordered 4 piece fish and chips (among other things) but they were out and didn't tell me and ended up giving me a 15 piece shrimp and chip instead (their shrimp are big by the way) and I didn't mind that at all. Pete's knows how to please their customers! read more

My coworkers and I are down here from Utah for a work conference. Them, being native Arizonians were excited to come to Pete's. I'll be honest, when we pulled up, the looks of Pete's didn't match their hype. It looks pretty grungy, but I thought I'd give it a chance and keep an open mind. The prices are a little steeper than I initially expected and they only accept cash. I ordered the 3-piece Fish and Chips. It was pretty good. When it came out it came out with something called Pete's sauce, which is their specialty sauce. It was tasty, but it didn't really go with fish all that well so I went and bough a couple Tartar sauces. It was pretty weird that the Tartar sauce wasn't included with the fish in my opinion. Plus I had to pay 50¢ per sauce. It also came with fries which were pretty good, but I couldn't buy ketchup to did them in because Pete's doesn't serve ketchup for some reason. The restaurant was outdoors so I won't say much about cleanliness, but all the tables seemed to be kept clear and clean. It was a cool day when we went so it wasn't too hot, but if it is a hot day they have a water mister system that they can run to keep their patrons cool. Overall it was a good experience, a little pricey, but I would go again. You definitely need to try it al least once though! read more

Pete's Fish & Chips - Fish and chips! - Seafood Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Worst service I have ever received at a Pete's fish & Chips. The signs they have posted "your mother doesn't work here, you have to clean up after yourself" that's funny because I'm pretty sure any other fast food or restaurant I go to & spend money & keep in business choose to eat at enjoys having customers & knows it's apart of the business of having customers. I've been dining at Pete's for many many years across the valley & this was by far the worst. Kid taking orders had no respect & no service skills. 75* out & the heaters are on toasting everyone away from the tables. No ketchup?? All the other Pete's I have been to have ketchup. WTH? Will not be back. Wish there was an option for no stars. Very disappointed. read more

Be prepared no credit cards. No $50 or $100 bills. I understand the need to laundry $$$ and keep it out of the governments hands but holy cow. You already charge plenty for your meals so I'm sure you can afford the bank fees. I'm sure it also has some way of screwing employees out of benefits. I would probably say it's time to get with the times and become a legitimate business. On a food note they're worth about 3 stars so their current rating is pretty average. Everything taste the same because they fry it all in the same fryers. Crabette's are good, fish and shrimp are decent. Fries are good. Sauce is not my thing and of course their other options are horrible-nothing. Thanks for letting me eat at your establishment Soup nazi read more

Recently returned to Arizona for a vacation after having moved away and knew I had to stop by and try Pete's fish and chips. After all it had been close to 10 years since I've eaten it and the classic taste hasn't changed a single bit. The fish was fresh and deliciously crispy and flaky with the perfect amount of salt added, it's best eaten when it's piping hot. After living on the coast and eating fresh seafood for years Pete's is still some of the best fried fish I've ever had. The price is great too, I was a kid when I used to eat here regularly so I didn't realize it was so cheap. Yet another amazing reason why I should move back to Az! Can't wait to eat there again some day. read more

Good food. However I am not a fan of the fish. It looks and tastes like 4 fish sticks stuck together. I'm sure that is not the case, however it's my perception. Personally I would go for the chicken tenders, I'm sure they may be frozen but they come out juicy and look normal. It is cash only but fortunately for you and them there is a bank within walking distance(500ft). Just be ready for a wait as that is the usual there, but it's never very long. Fun place to try out. read more

1st time to this place because my girlfriend & I are always looking out for a good fish fry place. I specifically asked the cashier how big the fish was & he tried to show me w/his fingers instead of just grabbing an actual piece of fish. I ordered the 3pc at $5.95. Upon getting our order for here in a bag, I was like, "wtf is this" upon pulling it out stacked on top of each other. Square fish? Really?! Can we say, Mcfish w/out the bun? No utensils & the tartar sauce is extra. This place is not authentic British Fish & Chips. No such thing as square fish in any lake, stream or ocean. read more

!!!DON'T EAT FROM THIS PLACE YOU WILL PUT YOUR HEALTH AT RISK, ESPECIALLY WITH COVID19 being a Concern!!!!! On April 02, 2020, I visited Pete's Fish and Chip on 22 S Mesa Dr in Mesa AZ at approximately 5:30 pm. I witness a lot of consumer safety concerns that could put a lot of consumers at risk for COVID19. In a small space, over 10 employees were working taking money and also touching the food as they place it into the bags. Also, I witnessed an even bigger concern that should not be happening especially with this pandemic we are facing as a nation. Employees were drinking while preparing the food one worker even wiped her mouth with her hands after her sip never changing her gloves. I requested to speak with the worker and I confronted the employee and attempted to educate her on cross-contamination and how COVID 19 is spread, my speech rested on deaf ears. This fast food is putting this community at risk due to unsanitary measures. read more

First time there. The line was really long but went by fairly quickly. Didn't have to wait long for our food after it was ordered. Tartar sauce doesn't have raw egg and that made this pregnant mama very happy. Well priced and good portions. We will be back. read more

I went to Pete`s fish and chips last night which is a staple in this community and is always packed, only to deal with a person who ignored my whole order while talking over me while I`m ordering saying "is that it, is that it!" Then the young lady working the window ignored my request for a receipt. This request was made after the young man that took my order was reviewing my order and shrugs his shoulders and said, "you didn't make their onion rings?"...next takes half the onion rings ordered by someone else making us both a half order!? Finally I get home and my super seafood combo is a regular seafood combo, My super chicken tender combo is half "crab combo", and my monster combo was right. All for 45 dollars what a deal! Not!! Terrible! I hope the owner addresses his customer service issues since they have so many "customer rules" written on big signs all over the business where I see they are raking it in while treating customers badly! But why would one customer matter? read more

I have been eating at Pete's Fish and Chips for 30 years. I come here for the most delicious fast- cooked seafood in Arizona -probably the world. "Menu MUST Haves" MESSY FISH SANDWICH with cheese (I like the Double) ONION RINGS BURRITO SEAFOOD COMBO And of course the classic FISH AND CHIPS For dessert, my recommendation is Rice Krispy Treat- you won't find a better one anywhere. ALSO, Pete's Sauce..... .is a family recipe, good on everything, and your only option. Tip: Don't ask for ketchup because they do not offer it. bring CA$H because no CARDS ACCEPTED here AND no bills larger than $20s 3 WORDS- EAT at Pete's read more

Excellent visits before tonite. Decided to try something different since the fish and burgers are excellent. Tried the scallops and chips. Scallops were old and chewy and when asking the manager about it the answer was "They're supposed to be that way". So beware the scallops.
