    Chowder
    Angela W.

    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!

    Haddock, chips, and Mushy Peas

    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!

    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! :)

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

    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.

    Tried this place on a recommendation and I can tell you it lived up to the hype. Service was a tad on the slow side, but I didn't mind it as they warned us upfront that since we were there on a Friday during lent it was going to be a little slower. The people could not have been nicer, great service. The wife and I loved all the neat little plays on words on pieces of memorabilia and tshirts throughout the place that tied in British culture with fish. The food was the best part. Fish and chips were amazing, battered sausage was the best I've ever had and the mush pea fritters were excellent. And everything paired perfectly with the absolutely delicious curry sauce. Can't wait to come back and try out more of this menu.

    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 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.

    This place is clean and inviting . The staff was very friendly and happy . And the fish fry's really were amazing and large . We both ordered fried haddock and Cole slaw . The fries were great too. I would definitely recommend. The prices were very reasonable and I had enough for dinner .

    I have had this place bookmarked for a while and finally got the chance to try it! When we walked in you order at the counter and then find a seat. I love fish and chips! I decided to go with the cod and chips. I absolutely loved it! The fish was delicious and crispy on the outside. They also offer haddock which I think I will try next time. I regret not getting the curry sauce so I will definitely be back to try that. The service was amazing and the person at the front taking our order was super helpful. They brought the food to our table as well after we ordered. Definitely will be back to eat here again.

    Wish this place would expand and open up more convenient locations because their food is really good but quite a hike for us! They have both normal and gluten free options for fish and their portions are huge! Probably the single best place to get fish & chips in town! Highly recommended and we would come here more often if we could! They also have a lunch special where you can get fish & chips, a side, and a drink for $20.

    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?

    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!

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.

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.
