    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

    Catfish & chips
    Teri Anne S.

    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.

    Chowder

    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!

    My plate of Haddock & Chips.

    Eureka! I've found it! I've seen a large number of videos from English fish & Chips shops. They feature a huge, flat piece of battered fish, set atop or beside a plate of chips (French fries). The Codfather restaurant is just such a place. The inside is fairly small, perhaps 20 tables or booths. One places their order at a counter near the entrance, gets a number, finds a table and places the plastic number on it. The wait is not instant, since the food is cooked to order. It arrived piping hot delivered by someone with an English accent. One feels like they might actually be in London. I ordered the Haddock & Chips, and a small bowl of Clam Chowder. The meal comes with a drink. (Miles got the chicken fingers & Chips -- he doesn't like fish). The Chowder was tasty with plenty of clam pieces. Not an intense flavor, but nicely seasoned. The main plated arrived in about 15 minutes. My plate looked exactly like that at the English Chippy -- a large piece of fish set atop nicely cooked fries. It came with a container of tartar sauce. I sprinkled salt and malt vinegar from special large containers on the table, on the chips and fish. The fish was exquisite, crispy outside and flaky, tasty flesh, inside. The fish was light tasting with a natural sweetness, the coating tasty. The tartar sauce was pleasantly tangy, a great addition to the fish. The chips had a very tasty flavor, probably from cooking in the battered fish -- it definitely took up some of that flavor. When we got there (just after 12:00) there were about four or five parties seated, there was no one in line, so we ordered right away. As we were sitting there, the place filled up. The line lengthened, with people filling it as others finished ordering. There were probably 15 or 20 parties ordering, most dining in, with a few to-go. I ate all the fish and most of the chips. It was very filling and the flavor was very satisfying, filling my desire for this fare. I very highly recommend the Codfather. It fulfilled everything I wanted in a Fish & Chips eatery.

    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.

    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!

    Justin M.

    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.

    This place has been on my list for a really long time. So happy that I was finally able to go! The service was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. I felt like I was visiting someone's home. Food was excellent. My boyfriend got the clam chowder and cod and chips. I'm vegan and yes they have vegan options! I had the vegan "fish and chips" and the mushy peas. The vegan fish is actually made of banana blossom and wrapped in nori (dried seaweed). They even gave me a vegan tartar sauce which I was very surprised they had available. The mushy peas were also very good. I really enjoyed my visit and would like to go back soon! :)

    Cod Fish and chips

    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.

    Clam Chowder
    Quinney H.

    I stopped by The Codfather for lunch earlier today while my car was in the shop for an oil change. The entire experience was top notch and a great start to my holiday break. SERVICE: Friendly & well-paced. AMBIANCE: The restaurant is homey with diner vibes (in the best way possible), and there's a variety of booths, tables, and high tops to accommodate groups of different sizes. The restaurant seems to have broad crossover appeal and attracted a wide range of customers during my visit. FOOD: This was easily one of my Top 5 fish and chip experiences! The chips and curry sauce combo was divine. I also curated four or five unique flavor profiles with different combinations of the fish, mushy peas, curry sauce, tartar sauce, and malt vinegar.

    Mushy Peas
    Kyle T.

    TLDR: Great local fish and chips spot in Henderson. A large piece of fish comes out freshly fried with a large side of chips. Staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful. I would budget some time to eat here since it gets quite busy and the fish comes freshly fried. Food: I had the lunch combo which included haddock and chips, a side (I chose mushy peas), and either a water or soda. The fish was fried to order and came out incredibly hot and crispy. There was a nice bed of chips, tartar sauce, and a lemon. The table was stocked with ketchup and malt vinegar. I would absolutely come here just for the fish and chips. The mushy peas were not my favorite, but I am far from an expert on mushy peas. Compared to other restaurants, these ones were soupier and did not have added freshness of mint/herbs. Price: I believe the lunch combo was $20 before tax and tip which was fair considering how large the portions were and everything that comes with the combo Ambiance/Service: The service here was incredible. It seemed like only a few staff members were running the restaurant with over 30+ customers at the lunch rush. Despite it being busy they had a great attitude and were consistent in reminding us to let them know if we needed anything

    The best Fish and Chips in town! I'd say it is better than Gordon Ramsey's, Oyster Bars

    Ask the Community - The Codfather

    Do they have Scotch Eggs and Deep Fried Mars Bars?

    Hi. I was there three weeks ago, and they did not have either of those on the menu.

    Has the Codfather reopened yet?

    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… Read more

    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?

    The menu says "gluten free available. I suggest you call the store and ask for specifics. I've had the cod and haddock--both were superb!

    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.

    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.

    First TIme Shrimp Boil Here!…read more You have to try this atleast once in your life. I always imagined experiencing this at a picnic table outdoors near a beach but this place came close with the decor. Restaurant had beach vibes all over including a large shark literally on top of their station area. Writing all over walls like you would probably see in some hole in the walls by the beach somewhere. Im sure the seafood is frozen coming in ... I mean we do live in the desert... so with that I crossed my fingers hoping everything was going to taste as fresh as one can possibly hope for. They have a generous menu, you should ask the server about the concept, they will give you the run down. They offer single plate options and of course different styles of boils, including the spice levels. I went all out, diving in with bib and plastic gloves to work for my food LOL. It was a good portion for a single dish with the addition of sausage and we added a side of fries and a glass white wine ( Sutter Home ) dont expect more- this of course is about the seafood and good line of beer. WOW flavor was great! I actually could not finish everything. Food does get cold quickly which takes away from the flavor and heat. By the time I got through cracking on piece of crab, most of the shrimp was lukewarm to cold. Fries were great ( lemon pepper ). Service - mediocre, staff were focused on the basket ball game as they were standing around watching tv. I was out of wine and no offer for another glass, did not get back to us on upcharge, forgot our bill because of game... Hubby and I had to get up for this.... dont expect high quality service from here but our server was friendly. Not sure if I would go back specifically to this location but will indeed like to experience another boil in another setting!

And the sauces that bring out to you are second to none. My friends ordered the fish and chips plate which was huge! As well as the shrimp plate with sweet potato fries. I personally am not a sweet potato fry type person, but she said they were amazing and the shrimp worked perfectly cooked. I got to tell you, a majority of the fish and chips places I go to the fish and the fries can sometimes be greasy. This was definitely not the case here. The fish and all the other fried foods were super crisp and knock greasy at all. Honestly this will be on my list of places to go for sure! The bottom line? Hoist the sail and swab the poop deck because Cap't Loui's is definitely your go-to place for fish and chips. I am looking forward to going for oyster Tuesday and see how that fares.
