My birthday dinner request was the best fish n chips in Charleston. My boyfriend didn't disappoint with finding the CODfather! Absolutely the best I've ever had. It was suggested to get the curry sauce to dip, which was amazing! Every fish n chips will be compared to this for the rest of my life. Very sad to see this place has been closed so soon after we visited!! read more

The CODfather Proper Fish & Chips - Fish n Chips with tarter sauce and curry - Fish & Chips Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

Gone but never forgotten... I'm sad that it took me so long to try them, but it was mainly do to it's proximity from my house. I love all seafood. And who doesn't like French fries? But fish & chips specifically, is not something that I ever really crave. But luckily, I had a job outing at the CODfather and it literally blew all of our minds. Even if you get a half order, it's still huge! And same can be said about the fish sandwich. I usually cut the filet in half and ate one part separately. Aside from the size, it's always cooked perfectly. Great quality meat and not overly battered. My only complaint is I wish there was more seasoning in the batter. However, to offset that, they literally have some of the best cocktail sauce and tarter sauce that I've ever had. I've only had them twice, but they managed to earn a special place in my heart. Side note, though similar, there's no affiliation with the other CODfather restaurant. read more

Found time to come back down here to use the last of my gift card that I got for Christmas. Fish was fantastic but hardly any chips, quite disappointed to be honest. Probably this was my last visit before they close. Have really enjoyed coming here during their time of being open and wish them all the best in what ever the future holds. read more

First time ever being to COD father, went with a friend who's been there before. First off when you get there, there is a line about 15-20 deep prior to even opening! That should tell you something. We got in, ordered 2 fish and chips baskets, and drinks. I believe we were order 17. It took maybe 15 mins for the server to bring to us, which as busy as they were was fast! When we made it through the door, I looked out the window, and the line was still long outside! There is lots of first responder memorabilia hanging up and on display which was historical, and nice to see! The cos was delicious! The fries were great as well. 100% recommend! read more

I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse... CODFATHER FISH & CHIPS | Randomly stumbled upon the CODfather on Google Maps and once we saw it, we couldn't not go. And we were not disappointed. We shared an order of the World Famous Fish & Chips and also tried a chicken curry pie. The fish fillet was HUGE! Came out hot and perfectly crispy. I tried to pick it up for a photo and it was hard to touch with my bare hands because it was so hot. The chips were exactly that, chips. Well, the British kind. Comes with a flavorful and creamy tartar sauce. And the pie was perfectly flakey and seasoned perfectly. TBH I love that they just keep it simple. Definitely will be stopping by here next time I'm in Charleston!! read more

We came just for a quick meal but maybe it was a little too casual for me. They charge for water so we brought our own and they don't have plates, just give you a paper wrapped parcel of food They have a pub side and fish & chips side. We got some mushy peas and an order of fish and chips to share because we weren't super hungry. It's one large filet per order with chips aka fries & tarter sauce Tbh, their tartar sauce was my favorite part. The chips were not what I was expecting, some were overcooked and some were undercooked? Or just hard? Maybe because we came late, but I'm not sure The mushy peas were pretty good, kinda tasted like bright green mashed potatoes The fish itself ( I think it was cod) was good! The fish was soft and moist while the shell was crunchy and broke easily - great texture The restaurant had a dive bar vibe imo There was plenty of parking in the private lot which was easy to get in and out of read more

Managed to finally get around and try some fish n chips at Codfather! Ordering is efficient thanks to a simple menu and bold sign without frills. I got the half order of fish n chips for $12.50 and the tartar sauce $3. Nicely breaded, flaky cod plus chips were not salty at all which I appreciate. The tartar sauce is a must, the texture is coarse, not blended. Staff was busting their chops to sling orders out in a fast manner. There's a numbering system so stay alert to get your order if you're taking-out. There's plenty of seating available indoors, bar seating at the window, tables outside. Parking is plenty on the side grassy lot area. Cheers! read more

We saw this on google maps and that it had good reviews. We wanted to get some seafood before leaving to get back to ATL from Charleston, and both agreed on getting the fish and chips. All I can say is, Cod Damn. That was some good fish and chips. It came out hot, the ratio of fish to breading was perfect... the breading was the perfect amount of crunchy, and was golden brown. Also the tartar sauce--SO GOOD!! It was a little sweet too! The serving size was plenty. If i were to go again, I'd honestly probably just get the fish if that's an option, because I was so full that I couldn't finish my fries. I will say, if you want to go somewhere for the ambiance, this may not be the place... it's very very casual. However, we were going for good food and it 1000% achieved that read more

The best fish and chips in all of the continental USA! Grab a cold pint of a local or European lager, ale, or cider and get ready to enjoy what can only be described as perfectly golden, crispy, fried fish and chips! The bang for your buck ratio is spot on, with huge portion sizes but never lacking in the quality! read more

Still one of the best Fish and Chips around!! Staff is friendly and just a great place to eat. read more

Surprised to find a British Fish & Chippy here in Charleston. Very casual establishment with both indoor and outdoor seating. Orders are taken at the "window", a receipt is received and your order will be brought to you where you have seated yourself. Cod was fried to perfection, crispy and light, although a mild oily presence remained, but did not deter from the taste. Delicious. Add some malt vinegar to the cod and chips, amazing. Check this venue out. Recommended. read more

When I saw the codfather advertised as world famous fish 'n' chips, my husband and I decided to give this place a try. Parking is free on the side of the restaurant. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is quaint with tables on one side and a large bar on the other side. The ambiance has a pub like fill. This is a very casual restaurant. We ordered our food and waited for about 30 minutes due to an influx of customers who arrived right after us. We ordered a whole fish and chips for my husband and a half order for me. The cod was fresh and hot, and the portions were large. If you are on a diet of any type, this is not the place for you. The fried cod was fresh, and the chips were hand cut. Both fried to perfection and delicious. The food was so good yet fattening that I didn't even feel guilty. If you are in the area and want some amazing fish and chips, this is the spot to come to. read more

At the first mentioning of this fish place I realized this will not be your ordinary fish place. I was not disappointed. Friendly service, local atmosphere, and lets not forget delicious fish and chips the way it was meant to be served! Big fish, tasty fries and a bar to boot! Go now if you have not and see for yourself! read more

Saw the name of this restaurant and knew I had to try it on my short trip to CHS. Its an homage to British pub culture in a very unexpected part of town. It has a very casual feel to it and seems like it could be a local favorite. I came right before closing on a Sunday (7PM) and they were busy filling takeaway orders. The cashier at the front was super nice and apologetic and asked if I wouldn't mind ordering at the bar so I didn't have to wait. No bother, went to order at the bar and the bartender was extremely kind and pleasant. She was helping some other folks at the bar and kept convo with them and allowed them to eat in even though they were close to closing. Overall, service seemed impeccable. Food wise, I ordered fish and chips to go. Sadly, my order was messed up and I got a double order of fish and no chips. I was slightly disappointed until I tried the fish. It was super light and flakey, super tender meat and just overall an amazing piece of fried fish. I liked the batter so much, I was eating any and all stray pieces that flew off with my bites and tears. The tartar sauce was also amazing, I'm not usually a tartar sauce person but something about their house recipe had me using the whole container! Definitely found a staple for my visits to CHS! read more

Order came in slow around lunch time. Ambience is a quick place to bite n go. Fish was good, not to much breading. Tartar sauce was spot on but I didn't get the cocktail which I heard was also good. Recommend for a quick bite. read more

I think the atmosphere is great. They don't have a ton of inside seating, but plenty of outdoor. They have a sectioned off small bar area with TVs. I like how the restaurant is decorated. My only complaint was the fish. To me I felt the fish batter tasted off and not the best. I have only ate here once, so I have no other experience to compare it too. I am hoping it was just an off day or maybe a cooking oil issue. But besides that, I liked the place. read more

Sat in the little "Pub" and watched rugby. I believe they had that on the Tube, don't really know much about the game, but it looks like the guys were all hugging on each other. Pretty good. Got a little jealous to be honest good Fish & Chips. read more

I came here because I was craving fish and chips on a cold, rainy day. I've been here a lot but hadn't visited in a few years and have to say I was shocked at how expensive it became! The quality is great still, though. The breading on the fish is so flavorful and I love that they provide vinegar for the chips. I also got a sausage roll which was really yummy! Just the price of everything made me feel like it wasn't worth the visit. I asked for an extra tartar sauce because I thought they were served in small sauce containers and it was a 3$ charge. The woman working didn't tell me that it was a good amount of sauce. I will honestly still visit here when I'm craving it because it is some of the best fish and chips in Charleston but I am a little disappointed in my trip here! read more

I've been coming here since their original location opened on Reynolds ave back in 2016/2015 and it's always amazing. I love a place that knows hot to take one thing and do it better than anyone else. Yes, they have a few other menu items, but if I'm stopping in I can't resist an order of fish and chips. I always add a side of mushy peas and gravy plus I like adding a little hot sauce to my tarter sauce. If you are in North Charleston and enjoy fish and chips, this is a must have lunch or dinner option. And as an added bonus, the owner and his staff are great advocates of the local community. Cheers to them and their delicious eats. read more

BF and I went, he's been there, but I had not, soI let hime order. We got a 1/2 basket, which was a filet and chips, then another fillet, we then split the chips. It was the perfect amount of food. The fish is not overly battered, it's quite lite, Wonderful, and friendly service, the tarter sauce is also fabulous. It's nice, casual, in-door, and out-door seating. Quick service, and fabulous value. I would go back any day! :) read more

We were craving some fish and this place was on Ubereats with no delivery fee so I finally got to try them, and they were everything I hoped they would be. I got a curry chicken pie, an extra fish, and a big fish meal for hubby. The pie, on arrival, was very dry. I took a little bite and the flavor was very mild. I put it away to eat my fish. The fish is INCREDIBLE. Flaky, light, perfectly battered and fried. The housemade tartar sauce is amazing, as good as or better than my own. The serving is generous. The fries were good even after traveling to us. The next day, the curry chicken pie was FAR better, the crust having soaked up the goodness and relaxed a bit. I recommend saving it overnight in the fridge for best taste and texture. These folks do so much for the community beyond selling us delicious fish, and I will be a repeat customer. If you need fried fish, you need The CODfather! read more

Come for the food, stay for the vibes. Best fish and chips I have had in the United States. Crispy, light and not greasy -- also the service g is pretty darn big, enough for a couple to share for sure. The menu is simply and that's because they know why we are all here and we know as well. Order the fish chips, sit in the cozy and authentic dining area, listen to 1980s and 1990s rock/pop music and enjoy. Families, couples and people eating alone... they all come to the CODfather. read more
