    Cod Fish Fingers And Chips
    Chanel B.

    This is probably the best fish n chips I've had in vegas. Good portion and fresh. I ordered the cod and chips. Crispy just how I like it. I suggest coming on the weekdays if you can for lunch or late lunch when it's less busy because this spot gets packed during the weekends and evenings. Also, it can take awhile, but well worth the wait. Ambiance is simple, no frills with a few added touches.

    We ordered cod+chips+clam chowder ...fish is good, not seasoned, batter is fried well. When I went home to file the receipt away, I saw that they charged me Lunch combo for $2-3 more than à la carte, but no soft drink+side? My fault...I should have checked the bill right there at the restaurant...not honest from the establishment either!

    First time here as we were in the area. I had heard some good things about this place so took advantage and tried it. We ordered the lunch specials of haddock and cod with a side of gravy and curry sauce. The haddock was the way to go, the cod was good but the haddock was crispier and meatier. The fries had a great texture and the tartar sauce was on point, it did not overwhelm the fish. I've never had fish with gravy but that gravy was tasty. The curry had a good flavor but I wasn't a fan of the fish with the curry, I preferred the gravy. Overall, good meal and for the price, you can't go wrong.

    This was my friend's haddock again too much better

    I came here for the second time and for some reason this time seem to be better than the first time, but if you like fish and chips and a great place just to chill and enjoy the people who have an English accent speak this is place to go

    Heard that this place had the best fish & chips in the area. Met up with friends for lunch today when it opened & got a table. You order at the front...got the catfish & chips and it was very good - I liked how it was lightly battered....not overpowering batter like other places. Their french fries were real good too. Will definitely come back to try some other items.

    Decided to finally visit The Codfather to ironically celebrate Independence Day! The place was crazy popular, but we placed our order and the cashier pointed out a booth had opened up! Lucky for us - and we got the Bowie table, which was fun for us old rock and rollers. We're vegetarian and always want to support restaurants that have thoughtful dishes we can eat on their menus - so we each got the vegan fish and chips, my partner got an additional side of cole slaw. The vegan tartar sauce was a nice touch - and our server went out of the way to explain what it was made out of. We'd been wanting to eat here for ages - and I'm so glad we did!

    Haddock & Chips

    The Codfather is a good place to get Fish & Chips choose from Cod (delicate and a bit sweet) Haddock (mild taste, thicker and meatier) or Catfish (strong and sweet flavor). I like the simple menu they offer. The prices are reasonable. Nice staff and good service. Simple service - order your food and drinks at the counter and wait to be seated. We dined in for the first time and we were very pleased with the service and taste of the Fish and Chips we ordered the Haddock and Catfish. Big pieces of the Fish and portions of the hand-cut chips were perfect. The Clam Chowder was filled with delicious clams and potatoes. The Battered Sausage with Curry sauce on the side was different but good. I liked the curry sauce. I also dipped the hand-cut chips in the curry sauce that was another good one (it was something that I seen people were doing and so I did the same :) I liked that the tables had the set up of napkins and all the necessary condiments needed for such a place as The Codfather. I'm glad we stopped in we will be back.

    I got the cod fish and i really like it . It really crunchy outside and the fish inside really soft and juicy and one thing i like that it not fishy . The vibe of the restaurant really nice and chill , make you feel like you go in to your regular restaurant. I definitely come back if i go back to vegas .

    Minnie was on point. It's fish and chips.

    I had seen the Codfather multiple times driving around Henderson, and was so glad that I got to go there yesterday. What a treat this is, especially for people that love fish and chips One thing I have to say, is they actually have British people on staff! It's always cool when you're at a fish and chips place and someone comes up and gives you your food and speaks to you with a British accent. I know that's a small thing, but for me it really adds to the experience of dining here. Speaking of the staff, super friendly and helpful, offering. Great suggestions, and just generally are very warm and inviting when you step into the restaurant. The fish and chips were so on point! As someone who has traveled to England and Scotland, I have had some of the best fish and chips in the world. That being said, this place is as close to authentic English fish and chips as I've had yet. I did not have the cod, I decided to upgrade to the haddock, which is what the gentleman at the counter told me. And he was 100% right. Right, it is absolutely delicious flaky and tender with a great crispy batter. The chips were fried perfectly. Had a nice crunch to the outside and soft on the inside. Don't forget the vinegar, to complete the experience! Bottom line? This place is definitely at the top of my list for fish and chips in Las Vegas. I am definitely going to try others but for now the Codfather has made me an offer. I can't refuse!

    Great fried fish and tasty sides. Their gluten free batter was pretty amazing too. The fish came out fresh and hot. I suspect the British like their fries with a mix of crispy and more like steak fries. We love them crispy and this helped us not over do it. The only odd note was no beer. I had hoped for a pint to complete the experience, but the fish really fantastic so that had to wait.

    Haddock, chips, and Mushy Peas
    Victoria N.

    Wonderful service and delicious fish and chips! I loved the haddock and chips and my husband loved the catfish. Love the tartar sauce. The poutine was tasty, too (I'm Canadian so I will always order poutine if I see it on a menu). I also tried the mushy peas based on other reviews and I was pleasantly surprised.

    The Codfather has been on my must try list for some time now. I went in on a Friday night. They were quite busy and after dining there, I can see why. You order at the register and are given a number that you take to a table of your choosing. The service is friendly and the food is cooked to order. We ordered clam chowder, a battered sausage, the kids menu mini fish, the cod fish and chips, and the haddock fish and chips. Our soup arrived first and was a great start to our meal. The soup was full of clams and potatoes and was very filling. The fish and chips were so good. They were cooked fresh to order. The kids menu mini fish was a great size for a kids portion. The haddock was huge and the cod was a generous serving. The chips were cut large and were tasty. The tartar sauce was delicious. The restaurant has booths, tables, and a counter for eating at. The servers were all friendly and you can tell they want everyone to have a great experience.

    Haddock & Cod lunch combos with coleslaw. Also, a bowl of clam chowder with a side of battered sausage. Very tasty!!

    First visit here was awesome! Food was tasty and portion sizes were great. One haddock lunch combo was good enough to feed 2 people. Service was great and employees were very hospitable. Will have to visit again next vacation!

    Yup wide open . Closed Mondays . Check the website for hours .

    It doesn't appear that you serve beer so are we allowed to bring our own?

    No. They do not BYOB (bring your own bottle) service here.

    Are you open on Mondays?

    They are usually closed Monday

    What oils do you use for frying?

    Hi Michele We use a blend Cotton seed… 

    Does the fish or coating contain monosodium glutamate (msg)?

    Hi No msg in the batter

    Is there anything here that is not fried for an entree?

    Hi Rachel We can grill any of the fish instead of frying it

    I hear you have gluten-free options?

    I am honestly confused by all the five star reviews…read more Ambiance was okay. Decor is decent but nothing spectacular at all. Does look better inside than it presents outside. We ordered cocktails from a very limited menu. Our waiter wasn't sure how to make the lemon drop martini on the menu but said he'd try to follow the recipe. We asked for Grey Goose but watched him pour shelf vodka. Drinks were served after the appetizers arrived even though they were ordered first. We started with oysters. Waiter said they only had two kinds tonight so we ordered 6 of each. He set them down and left to get tobasco we requested. When he returned we asked which were which he said "we only had one kind so they're all the same." I feel he should have told us before serving them since they were $4 each! I ordered coippino which at $46 was expensive but I wanted a treat. Hubby ordered large clam chowder in bread bowl and Caesar salad. Cioppino lists first ingredient as crab. What I was served had no crab, 2 overcooked shrimp and rubbery calamari. The sauce was flavorful but so disappointing otherwise. I asked about the crab and was told "no crab" and I was offered additional scallops as compensation. He brought three small scallops on a plate. Hubby was served two small bread bowls of chowder with the explanation of "we are out of large bowls". Again, it should have been discussed prior to serving that there was a substitution. Who wants two big loaves of bread bowl??? The salad adequate-- a big bowl of romaine with croutons with a side of dressing. All in all not worth the over $150 it cost. Not in the least! And they charge an extra 3% if you use a credit card. We will not be back.

    This is was our first time here since they've rebranded under Bravo Zulu. I half expected the menu…read moreto be the same but to my surprise, it was different and had a cool Thai twist to it. We were actually here for the clam chowder so we didn't get to really try new things except for the tomyum chicken wings. Will definitely be back to try the Asian fusion menu items. The woman that served us was very friendly and made good recommendations. The food came out quickly and was delicious. If you get fries, make sure you try the garlic fries! The clam chowder bowl hit the spot! The restaurant was clean and so was the restroom. There's always lots of parking in this plaza.
