Fun fact: this is the oldest fast food restaurant in Seattle, founded in 1935 (even earlier than Dick's Burgers, 1954). I went here Sunday evening for dinner and it was fairly busy - fast casual spot that is known for fish and chips and chowders. There is an upstairs area as well, but we mostly got the food to go to eat at the beach that is across the street. We ordered the 2pc fish and chips with an extra serving of tartar sauce, and clam chowder cup. Fish and chips is alright - the fish is nicely battered though a little bit too chewy in texture, so it was hard to just use the fork to eat it. Fries were soggy and underwhelming - definitely skip it (the menu has fish-only options so I would recommend saving a few bucks and just do that). Clam chowder was also a bit underwhelming - there is not really the creaminess that is usually present in clam chowder, and I can taste a slight aftertaste of overcooked soup from the pot. I guess this being so central to the beach, especially with good weather in the summertime, combined with the low number of restaurants that open relatively late (most close 8-9pm), that this place still fares pretty well as a food option and is still in business for so long. read more

Heard this was a place to check out while in Alki beach but it ended up being extraordinarily mid. The fries were greasy, limp, and soaked in oil -- not fresh at all. On the other hand, the fish was super dry and the outside batter completely fell off the fish itself, which was average. For the fast food quality and portion, I think $15.16 is way too expensive. read more

Spud Fish & Chips - (IG: @eat.sar) 2 Piece Fish & Fries - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The fish was perfect and we loved the onion rings! The service is amazing! We loved it back "in the day" It's just as good now!

Love Spuds, been coming here for nearly 2 decades and always worth the trip even with all the other great options the Alki strip sports. Yeah I agree the fries are nothing special but that is not why we come here. Still cannot beat the fresh fried cod fillets, especially if you eat them there fresh out of the frier. I even their calms and prawns as well but the fish n chips are always great. I also love the way they package to go, it's easy to unwrap at home and eat picnic style on the table so less clean up afterwards. read more

This restaurant is horrible. Whoever thinks there food is good has horrible taste buds. I bought pretty much everything off the menu and the oysters were disgusted looked extremely old tasted worse then they looked. Halibut and cod were pre cooked fish quality was not it nothing was fresh. Customer service was not it everyone was extremely rude. I HIGHLY Recommend sunfish down the street, fish is extremely fresh clam chowder there is amazing and owners are super friendly and welcoming. Spend your money wisely. read more

My family and I walked in planning on getting dinner here, but didn't end up ordering at all. The trashes were overflowing and it did not look very sanitary. You could see them cooking the fries and all, it just doesn't seem like a place to spend $20 on a meal. I can't really say what the food tastes like, but it certainly doesn't look like anything special, would recommend trying Lotus on the Beach, roughly the same prices, but WAY better food. read more

We went to eat lunch here and it was delicious. We ordered a few different items and all were great! My youngest loved the scallops the best. We had the chicken and fries, fish and fries, scallops and the prawns. I recommend this restaurant. All of the employees were super nice and helpful. We didn't eat all of our meals as it is large portions so we were able to bring back some for later a later time. The location is nice as it's by the beach. Inside was clean and tables were large. They do have an upstairs as well. read more

Do you know what I love about spuds it's the same I grew up here. I've been coming here my whole life and I can always go in there and get good seafood, deep-fried, seafood and it's always consistent. It's always good people are always friendly and over all the years, it still stayed the same. you don't have to come here in the summer to enjoy it, they do have outside seating, and they do have upstairs seating that I've been to one time because it was storming outside. read more

I've been going to Spud's ( yes, Spud's) since the 60's. We had it for dinner last night and my husband and I were speechless. I know that some restaurants are downsizing but this was ridiculous. Your fish portions notoriously heap over the paper vessel but in this case one piece was actually the size of a hockey puck while the rest of the fish portions were half their previous size. Unfortunately you have completely morphed into Ivars. You were known for delicious fish and generous size portions. You stood out from all the others. It is what it is but it's just sad. read more

Great fish and chips! Serving size was pretty good, we shared the 2 piece and fries between two people. Got our food very quickly. read more

This restaurant was filthy inside. My kids had to wait for food downstairs which gave me plenty of time to look around the dining area upstairs. The bathroom smelled similar to a porta potty. The booths we sat in had a section at top of dark gray film, the trash upstairs in dining area was overflowing, the bottom of trash area where it met the carpet was disgusting and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The napkin dispenser had grime and dirt all over it. If I had seen this beforehand I wouldn't have ordered. We barely touched our food once we got it. I'm not sure how this passes health inspection. read more

great fish and chips along the coast of Seattle! Beautiful location to stroll along the beach. will return one day for sure!

Service Sucked they had my order sitting there wrapped and ready to go but no one called My number for at least ten minutes. I thought it was a Door Dash order or I would have said something. When the guy finally called out My number I told him to re do it because it sat there too long. I got no response so I said again to re-do my order and the girl frying the food snapped back and said "I'm doing it!!" Over 57yrs eating here and never had such an experience as that. They were all playing with their phones and customers were even waiting to order. Many other things to list but this should be enough. read more

While in Seattle for a few days, I made it over to Alki beach and tried Spud Fish and chips. My daughter had the chowder in the sour dough bread bowl , while I ordered the 3 piece fish and chips. This place is WAY better than some of the places in the Public Market area. I am not going to name names here but you can check out my other Yelp reviews if you want to see. The service was fast and friendly. The prices are fair. The fish and chips were outstanding. Best I have had in a while. Great portion for the fish, too. My daughter loved the chowder, however was quite disappointed in the sour dough bread bowl. Today it was definitely not warm , nor was it fresh. I am sure this is not the norm. I will definitely be back here when in Seattle again. Great spot. The view and the walk along Alki are amazing. Spud makes it better read more

Spud Fish & Chips - 3 piece fish and chips after I started digging in - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I just returned to Seattle after living in Vegas for the past 6 years and was craving Spud Fish & Chips. So the day after I returned home, my daughter and I stopped by to get our order to go. The fish, fries and chowder was like heaven...the taste and texture was perfect. Plus the pieces of fish were large. Spud has not changed but it's a wonderful to eat in if you want to look out at the Puget Sound and what's taking place at Alki. From placing our order to receiving our order, we received great customer service. If you want to treat yourself to some of the best fish and chips in Seattle where you can eat in and enjoy the view or take out....I highly recommend that you check out Spud Fish & Chips at Alki.

Take out style Fish n Chips on Alki. Cheaper and tastes better than the other options. Not vegan aside from chips which are probably fried in same oil but does not trigger my dairy allergy fwiw. Tbh my favorite place in Seattle for fried Oysters. Tastes more fresh than other places. The ambiance is very take-out diner but by the bathroom is a cool wall of history. And tbh i don't expect much from take-out service workers aside from them not being jerks and usually the service is at least that and usually people are friendly and don't seem like they hate their jobs. read more

Food poisoning and chips. Both kids sick after eating - came on fast and hard, no way it's mistaken for flu or anything else - both ate the same thing and it kicked in at the same time. Be warned - they are miserable read more

Overpriced. Cashier wasn't friendly and seemed annoyed we were ordering. Cook and another worker seemed very unhappy to be working. Restrooms dirty. Cod fish was ok but the clams were overcooked, fries soggy. Definitely under new mgt I won't be back. Don't waste your money here read more

Solid lunch option right across the street from Alki beach! While hanging out at the beach, we started to get hungry and tried this place out on a whim. I went with the clams & fries, while my partner tried out the chicken tenders since she isn't a seafood fan. It's been awhile since I've had fried clams but I thought they were good! Tartar sauce was solid too. The fries were average, but overall enjoyed our meal. Worth a stop if you need an easy spot by the beach to fuel up. read more

A Seattle staple that consistantly serves up perfectly fried cornmeal breaded (that I prefer over beer battered) fish with old school fresh cut french fries. Staff are warm and welcoming. The stainless steel cladded open kitchen is always adds to the overall Spud's experience. The strawberry shake is a delightful occasional treat that never fails to satisfy that craving. read more

The best way better than Sunfish sorry not sorry been going here since the 70s. I love the tartar sauce and the prawns! The fish is always good and if you go on a day when it's not crowded it's the best! read more

After dinner tonight I found myself still a bit hungry. 1.5 cocktails, some oysters and a salad from the preceding dinner left me a little hungry for something substantive and satisfying. Spud fish & chips didn't disappoint. Salty delicious carbs are a pitch up the middle and rounded mh evening off nicely. The service was fast friendly and efficient. And the kitchy atmosphere was on point for a welcoming family feel. Their location is shared by much more upscale experiences. This is the place I'd head with friends as we figured out where the night would go! read more

Solid fish n chips. I like the upstairs deck with the view of Alki Beach. Personally I like Sunfish better but thats not to says Spud's is bad. read more

This old school standby still does things right. Fish was crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. The chowder bread bowl got a hearty thumbs up too. The setting can't be beat. We took our lunch to go and found a beachside picnic table across the street. The perfect meal to show off our summer city to a visiting family member. read more

Love it! Been coming here for a long time. My personal favorite fish and chips is beer battered but my husband's favorite is Spud's using cornmeal.

Food just as good as I remember. I had the 2 piece fish with French fries.. If you're lucky enough to get a table upstairs, you have a really good view of the beach and the sound.

Good food. Typical fish & chip shop. Clean and food arrived hot. Chowder was great. Will go back.

The service was quick. Ordered via yelp and used the pick up service. The order was ready in 20 minutes. I ordered fries which was not as crispy as I was expecting it to be. The coleslaw I ordered was fresh. The quantity was good enough for 3 people. Even though it was a weekend and pretty crowded the service was great. read more

What happened to Spud's? I haven't eaten here in like a year and the food is completely different now. The delicious fries which I craved are gone, they don't do the soft moist Dick's-style fry any more, and the fish is now also dry and forgettable. I was going to say this was a great West Seattle spot because you have a fantastic view from the seating upstairs, but with the food no longer being as good, it's not worth it, sadly. read more

A bit pricey but the food was ok. Unfortunately the place is filthy. Bathrooms were very dirty and no towels to dry your hands. Ate upstairs and the tables were not cleaned, the area where you get utensils and napkins was really gross. They need to get the employees that are standing around to clean the place up. read more

Found this place on our last day of my Seattle trip at the beginning of October and I could honestly say it's definitely gonna be one of my go-to establishment for fish and chips whenever I'm back in Seattle. The drive from downtown took about 20-25 minutes but you are blessed with the view of Alki Beach. The lot is small but we arrived right when they opened so we were able to get a spot. The staffs were nice, and the fish and chips is reasonably priced. The packaging wrap the fish and chips doubles as a place mat so it was great. We also got a cup of chowder which the husband finished. I'm not a big fan of chowder but I like enjoyed the breading of the fish and chips. They also have a lot of seatings downstairs, upstairs, as well out outdoors. Will definitely come back. read more

Been going here for the past 50 years and I'm still a big fan. Looks like I haven't been in awhile though because there's no such thing as a single with extra fish, and it's just called a 2-piece - no more big cardboard of fries. I normally don't like limpy fresh cut so these guys must do a double fry because I whoof down a bunch of hot ones until my fish cools. Garlic vinegar is the way to go vs tartar sauce for me. Two 2-piece specials with a soda, one chowder and one coleslaw was about $45. Plenty of parking in the lot on this fine day. Downstairs seating full and upstairs darn near. I think all the other folks came on foot. I'll take Spuds any day over Ivars. read more

Good historic fish and chips shop with friendly folks and a neighborhood feel. Service: very friendly folks. Smiles. Kind. Attentive. Ambiance: relaxing and neighborhoodly. Come in and order at the counter, and find a seat downstairs or upstairs. You can enjoy the view of the waters from inside. Food: - fish: pretty good and flakey. Note that each piece is pretty big! - chips/fries: I didn't like the fries as much. Kind of soft and mushy vs crispy and crunchy. - tartar sauce: amazing! I'm pretty sure they make it themselves. We ordered another large tartare to enjoy with the fish. - clam chowder: It's on the creamy side which was my first reaction, but it sure grows on you! They don't skimp ok the clam. Speaking of the clam, it's amazing inside this chowder. So tender and soft. Parking: Saturday lunch we found free parking on the streets easily but I think there's actually a parking lot here! Bathroom: average clean meaning the kitchen may be average clean! read more

I have loved Spud fish and chips for over 70 years. Since Ive moved to California, l visit Spud every time I'm here in Seattle. I've never missed Spud any time in Seattle. I visited Alki last night with my family and was extremely disappointed. When we entered we were not greeted and felt unwelcome. The entire restaurant-was filthy but especially the upstairs dining area. There were smashed french fries and trash under the tables and in the areas around the tables additionally the Windows were filthy. While we were eating, a female employee came up to clean the floor but did a half hearted job with a broom, not even a vacuum. The fish and fries which have always been great were horrible. The fries were overcooked, bordering on burnt. Bottom line, there was nothing redeeming. Like so many companies today, Spud seems to suffer from a complete lack of management and training. In the past I considered Spud to have the best fish and chips anywhere and bragged about it to anyone who would listen. Sadly, I now will not be returning. read more
