A long awaited visit to Pete's Fish'n chips- After 26 years of living here I finally made my way to this iconic fish'n chip stand. I shouldn't call it a stand, for it is large enough to seat over 70 people with their front, back and rooftop picnic style seating areas. Around 7:00 pm yesterday there were about 14 patrons ordering or enjoying their meal on a pleasant evening. After placing your order at the window, you wait for your number to be called and pick it up at the other window 10 feet away. While looking at the rectangle shaped fish patties, I thought, what should I expect from this mass made looking fish squares? To my delight, the exterior was crisp and the interior was flaky even though they weren't fillets. The fries were just average tasting but I couldn't help but think if they were served as hot as our fish they could have been better! I stopped short of Pete's sauce after trying it and thinking about taco sauce. Where's the tartar sauce or ketchup? Their double patty superburger $3.90 was tasty. The two meat patties with mustard, slivered onions, pickles and Pete's sauce on a bakery style bun was not bad at all! Overall, minced fish n chips at Pete's makes for a quick, inexpensive meal. They served Pepsi products and it's worth noting, no debit or credit cards are accepted, just cash. read more

Nostalgic memories!!! I always stop in here when at ASU Food is great and people there are friendly. The building is adorable right in the middle of 2 hotels. If you blink you can drive right past it. read more

Fresh and great. Customer service was smooth. Drive through was fast. Fish fried to perfection, the fries are nice and crispy (not oily).You can tell they clean their oil regularly! (The sauce always slaps) !! read more

Pete's Fish & Chips - Fish and French Fries Chips with Sauce Extra sauce ($8.40) - Seafood Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Drive thru staff is unpleasant. I come here once in a great while for memories sake. The frozen fish is good but not great. Fries are limp but go well with the red sauce. Cash only business with an ATM on site. read more

Always love Pete's. We visit when we come from Tucson. Been going to Pete's since I was a kid. 7 years old (1974) My first visit was the original one on Buckeye rd. Before it moved. Been addicted ever since. read more

The last 4 times I have been to this Pete's on Apache they have shorted my orders missing food, I hope others aren't getting ripped off.

The Pete's Fish & Chips in Mesa is always popping so I thought I'd finally give it a try (except this location is closer to me). I was surprised to see how low the reviews were, at this location and the Mesa location. It seems most of the gripes are the long wait time. I attempted to call in my order to alleviate this concern however the line was always busy (and I called 6-7 times at different times). Okay, I decided to drive by and see if the line is as terrible as I've read. 7:45 on a Tuesday night and there was only one truck ahead of me. Score! I ordered the 5 piece fish and chips to share with bf. It does not come with tartar sauce automatically so I paid .45 for 2oz. It came out to $10.59 total. Cash only! (A bit inconvenient in this day and time, although there are ATMs on site). It only took about 5 minutes after placing my order to get it. I unveiled the hot goodness when I got home. It came with Pete's sauce which is/resembles cocktail sauce. Not my fave personally. The fish itself is square which is a bit odd/different than I am used to. It was sprinkled with salt. It was hot and crispy and I could taste the fish! The fries were good but they could have used another minute or so. Overall I can see why Pete's is so popular. Definitely give it a try if the line isn't long! read more

Pete's Fish & Chips - 5 piece fish and chips - Seafood Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

BEST Place to eat! Super friendly. Workers can be a little slow. Drive thru a little slow but WORTH THE WAIT!!

This place is literally the best place to get fried fish, and yes, it is absolutely worth the drive. It has the perfect amount of crispness, and the hot sauce it comes with is just amazing. Please note, this place is cash only; but that is also worth it! read more

Ask for condiments and they give you the opposite. Went asked for a 5 piece they only had 4 piece everything i asked the didn't have right. read more

They are literally feeding pigeons out of the food delivery window!! Birds are sitting on all the tables. ZERO cleanliness. Will not be back to this disgusting location again. What manager lets an employee do this!?!?! read more

This is a must if your looking for food that can't honestly be healthy for you or your arteries. I love Pete's fish and chips! The fish is always hot and cripsy and this location was no exception. It was amazing. I always get a two piece of fish with fries and a drink. We went through the drive thru and although it was hard for us to hear the employee on the intercom, she got us through quickly. Prices are reasonable. They have other items as well that are a must try! read more

Love this place sometimes they have a long wait but always worth it. Been coming here since I was little and love that the food hasn't changed read more

This place sucks assWaited for a hour at the window to get order. Then what do ya know. They forgot all the sauces. You had a hour to prepare my order and you forget all the sauces. read more

It's great to have the good French fries back but you are cooking them slightly under cooked. Can only stand to eat a few. Hopefully you will fix that. Thank You! read more

CHECK YOUR BAG! Ordered 4-2 piece fish and chips and 4 pieces of fish on the side. I got home and only got 2-2 piece and 4 pieces on the side. I wasn't on my side of town so I drove 30 minutes hom and made a discovery that screwed 2 of my guests out of food read more

The burger was so delicious! The fries were not crispy and yellow, they were soggy/white/shiny. I remember when Pete's used to have the best fries!! The crispiest and saltiest fries. Yum. Now the fries are not too different from white mashed potatoes. read more

Wish I could give this place zero stars , the fried mushrooms were still frozen in the middle , had to bring them home to airfry them. The fish is sad , squared frozen off brand filet o fish, so if you're expecting real fish and chips head elsewhere , there's a pretty decent long John silvers in Mesa off of power rd. Avoid this dump at all costs. read more

Literally have been in the drive through for a full hour waiting on and order of ONE. I'm 7th in line and it has not moved for over 35 min. And it moved by one car in the past hour. This is ridiculous. Seemed like they're paying more attention to things besides the cars in the lines. I can't think of a reason it would take THIS Long for only 7 cars. Get your sh*t together KAREN! read more

Pete's Fish & Chips - Wtf is this ???? It definitely doesn't look consistent with the fried shrimp from any other location - Seafood Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

DISGUSTING! WHAT HAPPENED? Haven't had Pete's in many months and am now SERIOUSLY regretting going here. First thing I noticed - homeless characters hanging out in the courtyards, at the garbage bins, in front of building completely taking over the tables. NOT a good look or sign of what to expect I open bag at home and the fries were a barely warm - limp, soggy, sloppy oily mess not crispy at all. The "tartar" sauce was NOT what used to be served, but rather some GROSS different warm mayonnaise concoction. The final straw is when I bit into the fish, the inside was RAW! I am SO grossed out, I will NEVER eat here again! read more

I cannot believe how the shrimp have shrunk in size. They used to be as big as the styrofoam plate lengthwise. Today they are bite size read more

Pete's Fish & Chips - Drive through at Pete's - Seafood Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Quick points. The wait will be long on Friday/Saturday evening. Be prepared to wait. Plan to either order at the window and wait for your food or wait in the drive thru line to order. Our food is always fresh and hot because it is freshly fried . This is a fried food place.... it is made to order if it is a busy time their will be wait... Can't go wrong with fish and chips and onion rings... oh and always extra sauce. Again, be prepared to wait. Cold fried food is not good. read more

Yum! Well I couldn't tell you the last time I've been here but my grandmother wanted her Crabettes. As she spoke very highly of for about week. So the day came today. I ordered a sample of random items, cause when you don't know what you want I heard it's best to try a little of everything. And grandma said get Extra crabettes and fish for tomorrow too. You guys for her hooked. Everything had it's own deliciousness to it. Crunch was on point, no uneveness. 360 facts. ;) enjoy Thanks for great service today. Made driving through construction zone and uturn way worth it! read more

Maybe we came on an off day, but we waited 45 minutes for our food in their dirty courtyard. When we finally got our order, there was a drink and 2 sauces missing. The food was not great. The fries were soggy and lacked flavor, the breaded shrimp was VERY thickly breaded and also lacked flavor. The fried fish was alright, but the bland food made us really miss that sauce. I've eaten at Pete's once before and don't remember enjoying it then either. I won't be back. read more

I was looking for something to feed my 70+year old parents, they wanted Fish and Chips so I found a Pete's Fish and Chips, come to find out my dad used to eat here when he was a boy, he was so excited we got him a hat. The food was delicious and our service was amazing. The drive through girl was so sweet and kind. read more

The food is too salty and didn't taste fresh at all. Wouldn't come back here again or recommend it to anyone

Ordered two #2 combos around 6:50 pm and were told it'd be about 15 minutes. Totally fine. Get there at 7:00 pm to pay for the order in advance. Our number doesn't get called until 7:40 pm. It was NOT a busy night. Maybe 4-5 cars in the drive thru and one couple ordered after us. Anyway, we get our order, and received the following: read more

basic square pieces of fish that has a better batter than fish quality. The fries were heaviy on grease and lacked any french fry character except their shape. read more

The fish comes in a square, it's clearly all frozen and not made in house. The crab bette's are just fried imitation crab. It's a long wait time. Not worth your money bc it's not authentic at all. read more

I've been a patron of Pete's since I moved to AZ in 1985. I've primarily gone to the 44th Street location as well as the location on Van Buren. Those two locations have been hit or miss over the years. Today I had a craving and went to a location close to my work- This was by far the best experience I've had with Pete's. Quickly prepared, fresh tasty food served with a smile. This is the Pete's experience everyone should have. Thank you!! read more

Pete's Fish & Chips - ##1. Seafood Combo - Seafood Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The food is great but the service ice completely sucks. It took 20 minutes to get my food when I walked up and ordered from the window. I ordered my food at 1:04 PM, and didn't get my food until 1:23. That's ridiculous. I may have well went into a sit down restaurant. Get it together Pete's! read more

Great food, but it's frozen and not fresh. Terrible wait. I waited an hour and it was only 4 customers in front of me I skipped the drive thru because it was super long, I regret that. To bad.. this place could be okay. Outside is dirty and staff is unprofessional at time. They closed shop and I'm still waiting for my food read more

Good Friday and awful food and service! The fish squares were doused in salt and came with hot sauce - we asked for tarter, we went online and picked from menu before going and "no salads, no ranch, no this, no that" - they need to update menus to meet what they actually serve. And no sign of social distancing requirements for patio area - we brought it home and only thing we ate - French fries - read more

20+ minute wait trapped in the drive thru line with literally one car in front of me who had a small order. And this was Saturday night at 8 PM. I will never go here again. read more

Petes is the only fish and chips I will eat. Their chicken tenders are phenomenal as well. This lcoation has a bright and cheery vibe to it.

Wasn't impressed with the shrimp. Ordered 10 pieces but had only 7 when I got home with my meal. Pete's Sauce is tasty but a bit cheap of them to make you pay for tarter sauce. The service was fast for Saturday at dinner time. Left me with a stomach ache overnight. Won't go again. read more

Best food.. Get a extra sauce because you'll crave it later... lol I've been going here for three decades and will continue read more

Amazing crispy chicken. Always hook it up with sauce. Fries are always crispy vs soggy like the one near Van buren. Even the workers are cool. I always end up going right around the time they close and always feel bad but it's the only time I can usually go read more
