Pete’s Fish & Chips

Gotta like it fried, that’s what you get. Phoenix icon, been around for a long time. Be sure go bring cash, only can pay with cash. Outside dining only.

Gotta love Petes. Only complaints at this location is the shrimp. I hate the log skinny pieces instead of the whole shrimps like Mesa Dr! Also the extra cup sauces seem like they have more ketchup than the ones you get with the meal. But that could just be me trippin. IDK. LOL!

I expected a lot from this place but got a little. Nothing was bad, it just wasn’t that great. Probably won’t go back.

First time here at Petes and I love the variety of options. I don’t get to go to seafood places often as my fiancé doesn’t care for anything that needs water to live. All around you get a great amount of food for the price. It’s rather clear the seafood is frozen, but with the price point I am not one to complain.
I don’t really have any complaints other than the breading needs some seasoning.

The food is delicious the reason for one star is the extremely poor customer service. The lady taking my order was very cut off she didn’t even open the screen when taking my order. She was just in a foul mood which is honestly not my fault. If you are unhappy with your job, just get one that will fulfill you don’t make it a bad experience for everyone else.

I’ve been eating at Pete’s since I was a kid. I always loved the shrimp. In the last year or so they changed the batter. It’s a cornmeal slurry. It’s just gross now. I’m forced to go to Knock Kneed Lobster now to get my shrimp and chips, then drive to Pete’s to get my sauce. Truth! Their sauce still rocks. PLEASE CHANGE THE BATTER ON YOUR SHRIMP!!!

If I didn’t have to give a star to review, I wouldn’t. I just placed a huge order for my family and they gave enough fries for one person. I could literally count the fries. We called and they handed the phone to the manager and she kept making excuses. Apparently, she was the one that put the order together. My family will not be back there again.

The best Fish and Chips I have ever had. I had to stop eating there so much due to my Cholesterol but it is a must have if you are out here.

Duh It’s Pete’s are you not from around here? Go ask another reviewer what they think and then come back here so you can see «I told you so!»

For more or worse a 2 star rate simply put do not waste yur time with this place I went here with the expectation (that’s the prob) that it would be awesome from here say (word of mouth) that it was to be delish lol well I got the shrimp sticks that where dipped in batter. upon first taste (I was hungry) thought it was fine second big bite was all batter so I decided to open this shrimp stick … Low and behold to my surprise it was lol a sliver literally of shrimp and all batter it was horrible not to mention the square fish sandwich I got was fine I must admit bit disappointing due to the shape of .it reminded me of a cheap 1cent patty from something they’d serve yu in a concentration camp in Russia or Cambodia oh and the fries tasted like oiled up 2cent fries .yet they charge a ridiculous amount of dough to eat this mess I’d pass always and forever. They serve yu rolled up cornmeal sticks lol cheap bastards

We have passed this place dozens of times and finally stopped in… Its terrible. I can’t image people going here more than once. It’s literally a joke. I wish Unilocal was more dependable. It seems like anything legitimate review wise is censored.

Don’t do it… I’m in the parking lot right now and am actually throwing out the food I just got at the drive in after taking one bite of the «shrimp» and fish «square».

Lived hear all my life loved the shrimp and chips I felt loyal to them since I’ve been going there since my parents took me and now you go there and you get 7 pieces of shrimp the size of chicken nuggets. I’m getting the 10 piece and they still barley filling me up. Soon I’ll need the 15 piece to get full were paying more and they keep getting smaller. The ‘shrimp is good but the price keep going up and you get less for your money. They are family owned and now it seems its all about saving money. Its not about keeping your customers happy. As soon as I find another fish chips I’m done with them.

Pete’s fish and chips is the WORST meal I’ve ever had! I do not know how people can stand to eat there. I went there just last night for the first time because I had gotten a recommendation from friends. I ordered the fish and chips. The first bad sign was that the fish was pollock. The fish ended up tasting like mushed, cheap, pre-​frozen fish. My daughter ordered a cheeseburger with cheese and mayo, plus onion rings. The cheeseburger had an extremely thin patty and way too much mayo. It was so bad that we threw away the food and ate at a near bye McDonalds. If you have any taste in food whatsoever, you will be disgusted by their food.

This place is awesome. If you don’t like it you don’t belong in Phoenix. I’ve been going here since I was a kid and I hope they are still here long after I’m gone!

Poormans Red Lobster… Been eating Petes since the 60’s…Never been to Red Lobster…

I have wanted to try this place for a while and finally did so after driving by during the lunch hour. What a disappointment, I can’t believe they have been in business for so long. The fish is fine but seems to be just frozen squares of fish fried up. (My son did like it quite a bit) The chips (fries) are mediocre at best and they give you lots of a bland sauce to put on everything. There didn’t appear to be any malt vinegar and the tartar sauce costs extra. I had to go back to the window to request catsup. They do not take credit cards which I think is a foolish business practice. I have now eaten here once and that is more than enough.

Have heard about this place for years… food is outstanding!!! Hey, its a hole in the wall, but sometimes those are the best!!!

Not sure why the great reviews over this place. It’s a ruin down true hole in the wall kind of a place, food so so… nothing special… won’t be back…
You gotta be kidding…

Every time I do a search on Unilocal for fish, Pete’s pops up but I’ve always just passed it by. Today I actually decided to stop by and see what it was all about. I can see why one could pass it by, it’s just off Central with no flashy gimmicks and no drive thru. I was lucky that the rain stopped long enough for me to get out of my car without getting drenched.
I didn’t know they only took cash and with only $ 7 in my pocket I came unprepared. I decided to order the 3 piece Fish and Chips for $ 5.35. I can barely finish the second piece of fish but this sauce is amazing. I will definitely call ahead with a large order of Oysters, Shrimp and Crabettes!
