    With Codfather selling it's Park Circle location we are fortunate to have Codfather Nexton to still find great fish and chips. The restaurant is roomy and decorated with both English staples and salutes to local first responders. Unlike its originator they cook their fish to order so there may be a slight wait, but it is very much worth it. When I go, I like to order the Tennet's lager which is smooth and crispy and full of flavor. Instead of chips we tried the Manchester Special which are their famous chips with gravy and cheese. The gravy was rich and savory with plenty of ooey gooey cheese. Perfect on a cold winter's day! We tried the Battered Sausage which had a large smokey sausage fried golden brown. It was ok but I wished the sausage was spicier but that's just me. I have never had a Doner Kebob, but I discovered that it is basically a gyro. Now I went with the standard lamb with onions, lettuce, and tomatoes with a feta spread and tzatziki sauce, but you could also order different sauces and toppings. All in all, a pretty decent gyro with lots of meat. Finally, you can't come here and not try the fish. Nicely battered and cooked to a perfect golden brown this filet really hit the spot. We may be losing Park Circle but at least Codfather lives on in the Nexton area!

    What more can I say about an awesome place like this! We pretty much go here twice a month and thoroughly enjoy the fish and chips as well as the curry meat pie. Hi always leave happy and full!

    I liked the hand breaded freshly prepared fish. Nice crunchy exterior and properly seasoned. The chips were delicious. Service was fast. There is an attached bar area that you can get a drink and eat the food ordered in the restaurant. It has a nice British pub vibe but a bit cramped. I was in a corner high top near the door with a trashcan and broom. Seemed a bit off versus the rest of the area. Bartender was quick with service too.

    WOW! I've heard so much about this place and it took me this long to go. Very lovely set up of the place. Plenty of seating and there's also a bar connected to the restaurant. My friend and I ordered the half fish and chips and man the portion size is HUGE. I can't imagine the regular fish and chips. I couldn't even finish half my food. I love how your order is wrapped in this long paper and given to you kind of like a present. Its super cute! The food was piping hot, freshly made. The fish was crispy and flavorful! The fries were seasoned just right and the tartar sauce was tangy with a hint of sweetness. I loved the whole combination of flavors. I was very pleased!!! The pricing is pretty great too (it's about 9 something for a half fish and chips) overall 10/10!

    Ooops was to excited and hungry this is the end of the meal

    Really authentic fish and chips fresh cod perfectly fried not greasy at all, and a huge whole piece, this ain't your American tartar sauce either, mushy peas..... hell yes!! Causal but open and clean there are two rooms the main family dining room or the bar area. We Sat at the bar and the bar tender was great!

    This was the 1/2 Fish and Chips

    I really liked the fish and thought the portion was good for what I wanted (the 1/2 fish and chips) fries were a little dry but not bad. Tartar sauce was great with the fish.

    Very costly for a single hunk of cod. Should say on my COD that's expensive. Not worth the price.

I would change the name because the name suggests they have oysters only and it turns out there is more, not a whole lot but enough for a non oysterholic to come in and have something to eat while you chug an ale or one of the shots with a slimy thing in it I got to try a shot of something that tasted like bloody Mary's mix with an oyster inside, I felt the slimy thing going down the hatch and later ordered a dozen or so oysters Parmesan, cooked taste a little like scallops, not bad and I could go back and try something else The calamari was ok, not as great as I can make them if I had a fryer with a thermostat, the batter was a little too thick and I tend to like them with a see through batter not a filler, it was crunchy ok but maybe a little overcooked and not a lot of people know that calamari should be flash fried for about a minute and if you go beyond that is like the Michelin man The place is fun and be prepared for a loud environment because it is small but go with an open mind and it is a nice different experience I will go back and try their fish and chips

I have difficulty with steps but there were enough railings to make it navigable for me. The building was likely to have at one time been a small house. There were six of us in our party and we were initially told we would be sharing one bill and the gratuity would be automatically added. A couple of our folks expressed concern and intentionally ordered cheaper items and no drinks to make sure they had adequate funds to split the bill. Fortunately our waitress, who was a joy, did individual bills and did not put on an automatic gratuity. The policy had the potential to seriously reduce the restaurant's income. They should probably rethink this stance. As noted, our waitress was terrific and rapidly got drink and food orders sorted. The menu is pretty short, but probably a good choice for a small pub type restaurant. My wife and I both selected an on-tap local brew, both of which were good and reasonably priced. We both also selected the fish and chips. The order came with a side of cole slaw that was pleasant. The chips were obviously made on site and both properly cooked and well seasoned. We are always surprised at restaurants that serve obviously bagged and frozen fries. The fish itself was reasonably sized and nicely fried. Quite tasty, but we sort of expected good seafood as this is a sister restaurant to a local seafood establishment. For the price the portion sizes of all the meals at the table seemed just a bit small. So we will quite likely return. It's not fancy. It's not high end dining. It's a tad pricey for pub food, but overall pretty good. I note here that had our waitress not been a gem or had they enforced the one check policy, this review would have been a good deal more negative. I suspect they have an accessible entrance but it was not obvious. That may be a consideration for some and checking ahead of time would be prudent.

A few chairs for a couple folks, to wait for food or eat in, a sofa machine, and that's it. Menu is basic fried seafood and wings and fries. Nothing fancy here. Prices are OK, out the door my 2 piece catfish, 5 wing combo with fries, hush puppies, slaw and a drink was $19 before tip. Food was promised in 10 minutes that's about what it took. Takeout and delivery via Uber Eats and DoorDash are options. Hush puppies were nice and onion-y. Catfish was light and fluffy and not overly breaded and the fish flavor actually came through which I appreciate! Fried were basic crinkle cut fries, nothing special there. Fountain drinks are Pepsi products which is fine. Wings were nice and crispy, not super big but not tiny, and the buffalo sauce was good. The dining in experience could use a couple of improvements, specifically napkin holders and ketchup on the table, but I am not too mad about it given that they just opened, it's really a takeout place, and that's an easy thing to remedy. Overall a good local option that filled me up fast with good fried food which I am usually not a big fan of. J.Ja

One thing that immediately stood out was that they were open late on a Sunday. We arrived around 8 PM, which was incredibly convenient, and since the restaurant wasn't crowded, we were seated right away. Our server (I unfortunately don't remember her name, she was blonde and incredibly friendly) provided what was probably the best service we experienced during our entire trip. She was attentive, welcoming, and made excellent recommendations. We ordered the 2x California Burger, chicken sandwich, a gyro, side salads (they put the dressing on the salads, it was actually the perfect amount for me, but just be warned, ask for it on the side if you want to add it yourself), and a cheesesteak. The gyro (I got lamb) was recommended by our server, and it did not disappoint! Everything was fantastic, but the burgers deserve special recognition. Whoever was working the grill that night deserves a raise. Hands down, the best burger we had on our entire trip. The seasoning was perfect, the patties were thick and juicy, and they had an amazing char that took them to the next level. We also upgraded to the Aloha Fries, which were a great addition and definitely worth trying. From the outstanding food to the exceptional service, Coleman Public House exceeded our expectations in every way. We'll definitely be back because there are still so many items on the menu we want to try. The place was clean, could use a little update/refresh with paint and small things...but I come for the food first and foremost. Seriously, give this place a shot, you won't regret it. Yum!
