Food was very delicious and the service was great! One female working, I think she's a manager, she was so nice and had the best attitude! The food was fresh and hot! Very good quality! read more

Pirates Fish and Chips - Really good!!!! Super delicious! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

See all

I ordered the pirate's seafood combo. Not a bad deal for the money. There's no indoor seating just 4 picnic benches outside. It looks like most people use the drive thru or get it to go. It's right along Lindsay, so there's road noise if that's a problem for you. Service was really quick, and again: you get a decent amount for your money. read more

Pirates Fish and Chips - Pirate's seafood combo (minus two shrimp that I ate!) - Fish & Chips Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The burgers were great. Fish and shrimp was hard. Service was fast. There wasn't a long wait.

They make THE best mushrooms anywhere!!! I go there just for the mushrooms and corn dogs! The customer service is great too.

I waited in a non existent line, I read the reviews too late after I had placed my order. Well, they're not wrong. It's horrible, just purchase your own at the grocery store please, you're better off. One of the girls pulled my order right out of the deep freezer. When I seen that I was prepared for it to be bad. It tastes horrible, Carl's Jr and Farmer Boys have better zucchini. Fish is burnt probably freezer burn along with being fried after. What a f'n waste. read more

With so few drive thru sea food restaurants I tried this. There are many good items on the menu but the fish is second rate. It is chopped fish patty. You can find better at your local grocery such as GORDENS frozen fish read more

We've been a couple times the food is good, however we're a bit disappointed in the customer service. They need a new speaker so costumers can actually hear. It would also be nice to inform people when they're ordering that's somethings not available and not wait until after we paid to inform us you're out of what we ordered. read more

Got the 3 piece fish and chips! Fries were okay, fish was decent will definitely be coming back.

Vomit! Twice .needed hospital assistance after my visit...the state health dept. needs to visit ASAP!

Don't go here. They use their bare hands (no gloves!!) to grab the fish and shrimp. Looks like the oil fryers haven't been cleaned in years, old oil. Service was not friendly at all. read more

I got the Pirate Burger and the fish sandwich. The Pirate Burger was the best burger I've had in a long time. And only $3.50! A price that low is unheard of these days! The fish sandwich was also good and only $2.50! Why go to other fast food that charges like $10 for a burger? Also I got my food super fast. Go to Pirates! read more

Fish I got was like McDonalds filet o fish. Guess I was expecting something else. Not very tasty. Would not go again. Good service though.

The food was so good and the price! You can't beat it. The service was quick, and my food was hot. Will definitely be returning with my family! read more

Their food is good and fresh, I think they are better than Pete's! Prices are extremely fair. In my opinion they have THE best onion rings around! read more

Look. This place isn't a 5-star establishment. The food is average but the sauce... the sauce will keep you coming back. My go-to is the 7 piece shrimp and chips with an extra 4 oz of sauce. The chicken fried steak sandwich is good as well. read more

I'm back. I go here a lot and yesterday I brought a friend. (May 1) he tried the burger. Now y'all gotta know he a picky eater. But he was lovin that burger and the fries. I got an onion ring and he tried one. He was like man those are really good. I'm tellin y'all that you can't go wrong with the food here. Unlike Pete's you can use a credit card here. They are fast and hot. Always good service and food. read more

If I could rate it zero I would. Greasy food, cheap materials, and lousy employees. I can't believe this place has been here as long as it has and it needs to be closed. I'm surprised the establishment has even passed the inspection. read more

Not bad food. It was on the greasy side, but we all know that when we drive up. The onion rings were nice and crispy, but they were also sitting in a pretty good layer of oil by the time we got home. They need to let them rests and drain before putting them in a tray. Not a deal breaker. Just remember, this isn't a salad place. I'll return, but certainly not that often. It's nice to splurge and jump off the healthy train once in a while. Enjoy. read more

Cold fries and greasy fish and made my family sick all 4 of us. Is is the second time trying this place.

Food below average but the girl at the window tonight lacked all social skills to work at the order desk. I'll keep looking for a good fish and chips spot and take this one off my list. read more

One star only because no stars isn't an option. I'd rather eat cold gravy with short curly pubic hairs in it than eat at this place again. Fish and chips??? Does that call to mind a 2x2 inch square of mushy breading encasing a 3 mm sheet of white fish deep fried in 3 week old cottonseed oil? Perfect. You're in for a "treat". read more

I've lived here for almost 8ys and haven't tried Pirates yet... my in-laws always wanted Pete's and I only ate with them once but I didn't like it. Well finally tried Pirates! The shrimp and fish were both juicy and not dry or rubbery like Pete's. Perfectly salted for my husband high BP. Sauce is definitely better. But what was awesome is my to-go food was still hot in the paper basket unlike the flimsy paper plate Pete's gives. 5min drive home and it still needed a few minutes to cool a little. Only eating Pirates from now on and my in-laws will to read more

Food is terrible and horribly bland. Went home and doused everything in some salt. Will definitely not be coming back. I used to come here as it kid and now I can't understand how it when down hill so fast read more

If you enjoy eating a dirty sponge that tastes like dirty deep fried lady parts then this is the place for you. I did not know it was possible to try this little on preparation of food. Save yourself the money and buy frozen fish and frozen chips from the store 10x better than this garbage. Pirates Fish and Chips? More like Pirates Going Out of Business. read more

Pirates Fish and Chips - Fish & Chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

So here I am...talked into going to this place that I was reluctant to check out due to square fish patties. Well...my friend was driving and I was under her rules, lol. She said, "you are trying and I am buying and the sauce is crack"...twist my arm :) we both got the eight piece nugget (comes with fries). It was eight hot nuggets fresh, french fries and this red sauce stuff. The guy that took our order in the drive thru(handsome, young, tan, buff buck, lol) was super sweet and very polite. Our food came quick to the window and off we went to devour our fried, glutton, glory of food. I must admit, it was good. I mean they were frozen then fried chicken nuggets, I was expecting exactly that since I ordered chicken nuggets. They were good enough that I would get them again, they were piping hot and I have no complaints. The fries were super tasty! I was very surprised I liked them so much, but I did. I especially liked them dipped in that silly red sauce that baffles me but is so good I sorta want a bottle of it in my fridge at all times. Let's sum this up...cheap? Check. Tasty? Check. Friendly staff? Check. Cannot speak for the fish but absolutely zero complaints here :) read more

Pirates Fish and Chips - 8 piece nuggets and fries $5.75 - Fish & Chips Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

It was fast. They have Diet Dr Pepper, and it was bubbly. They have a fairly traditional tartar sauce, if that's your cup-o-tea. They take credit cards. And that's the end of my list. Other than that -- my goodness, it was terrible. Just terrible. Drive the few extra miles to get the real thing at Pete's. The definitely re-fry the food, and fail to drain it out of the fryer. Be prepared for a little pool of brown oil at the bottom of your paper dish, and for everything to taste burnt. Gross, gross, gross. Like seriously, please, don't go here. Go to Pete's. Worth the line, worth the cash-only hassle. read more

Unfortunately they can't seem to get an order right, whether you pick it up yourself or order through a delivery service. We have had issues EVERY time we've ordered or went there. Their answer is always "give us your name and phone number, so when you come back we can replace on your next visit ( spoiler.. they never replace the missing items) As much as we love Petes fish and Chips (pirates is owned by the same people) we will not order here again. After they have been given several chances to get a simple order right, they can't apparently. Each time we call to get a problem addressed, they want to talk down to you, or treat you like you're bothering them. I'll do them a favor and not bother them again or spend another cent in their establishment. Such a shame, such is life apparently. read more

I've been going here for many years, and the workers are great! they make food fast, and also are very welcoming! would recommend.

I had went there Saturday night the 26th of Sep at around 6pm to get my mother a Two piece Fish and Chip meal before I left for an event. Wrapped up in with the food was a bloody napkin and a discarded bandaid wrapper. We made contact with the manager who basically said it was a lie and that the ted spots were hot sauce. It's obviously not hot sauce even in the pictures that can be seen. We attempted to have the manager handle this professionally and he chose to do opposite. read more

Pirates Fish and Chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

They should rename this place to Frozen Fish & Chips. Walking up to the front I can see a worker open a bag of frozen fries and pour it into the fryer. Frozen fries? Eh, I dont mind. But then the four pieces of lego shaped fish came out and I wondered what can I build with them. Square blocked frozen fried fish? C'mon... literally says "I bought these at Sam's club." Not to mention the nasty mosquito bites my gf I sustained while sitting at the benches. They also charge for tartar sauce! Lololol like do you want to charge me for talking to you and looking at you too? You can also tell they water down their ketchup to make it last longer. Lololol Don't waste your time! Marilyn's Fish and Chips in Phoenix is 10 times better and fresh! read more

Have you ever had a square piece of fish? If you haven't, you haven't lived. I've never had a bad piece... The food is always what I expected. They're open almost all the time. They except credit cards! And they have pebble ice. Fun fact: You can even buy a bag of pebble ice. It's definitely better than 2 stars in my opinion. read more

BACK AND FORTH! BACK AND FORTH between Pete's and Pirates, the swing always goes one way or the other, right now it is swinging Pete's way, as an AZ native, Pete's is nothing special, an AZ icon, but it fits its niche and Pirates is a honest competitor, unfortunately Pirates did the unthinkable, and made their fish thinner, the skinny more breading than fish was a disappointment, The crinkle cut fries were delicious as was the reliable sauce. i enjoyed the simple burger, but i come for the fish and it just did NOT hit the spot. cheapening up an already cheap place does not score any points. Go back tot he thicker cuts of fish and do what you do well and that is compete with another cheap place. read more

Yummy food!! Only down side is they only take cash! They have the best onion rings and fish!!

This used to be our favorite place but the service has deteriorated. MAKE SURE TO CHECK ORDER BEFORE YOU LEAVE! We have a large family and always place a large order. They no longer take phone orders so it is a long wait once there. The last few times we have not even received everything we ordered and paid for. Today we made sure to have the person picking up check to make sure the extra sauce we paid for there (never enough sauce with the extra large shrimp or fish especially when they pack bags so full the sauce cups pop open and spill and but don't even get 1/2 the time) only to find out the burgers ordered were not even in any of the bags. No use calling to complain because they do not answer the phone. Definitely not worth the 20 minute drive anymore. read more

Fair menu. Weak taste. Service needs some work. Selection has deteriorated. Was better a few years ago.

Ordered a seven piece shrimp and chip and it was delicious! I was not expecting the shrimp to be long like that! The fries are just fries, they need sauce so get the extra secret sauce. Friendly workers too. I have been here in the past and recommend the nuggets and the pirate burger as well, also a sucker for the fried mushrooms/zucchini! super yummy! read more

Best place around! They offer fish, burgers, fries, and more! Get extra pirates sauce because that stuff is god sent!!!

I visit Pirates at least once a month to satisfy the craving! Unfortunately they can't seem to figure out the cooking process. Fried fish is always sitting in the basket for a re-fry to fill orders, the fish absolutely is disgusting like a piece of cardboard soaked in grease. Cooked French Fries waiting in the basket for a re-dip to heat and fill orders just soaking up grease. Now tonight, I sat and watched as they pulled 2 pieces of already fried fish and dropped in another basket and began frying again. I went to the window and let the lady know I didn't want that fish being re-fried and wanted it fresh cooked. Advised her of previous bad orders I wasted money on, her response was they received some bad fish a few weeks ago. If it was bad, then stop serving it you can see its bad. It's not a fish issue it's a bad business practice. That's how they are trained to fill orders fast. Lastly they grab the food with bare hands dropping it into the frier baskets and wiping hands off on their shorts. Place definitely needs work! read more

Pirates Fish and Chips - a receipt for order - Fish & Chips Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I used to love this place but it's gotten cheap. I always order the eight piece chicken strip meal and the pieces have gotten smaller and smaller every time. My plate would weigh more than twice as much and I've been getting disappointed every time. Sorry to say that this might be the last time I'll go there. read more
