The Codfather is a straightforward fish & chips spot tucked into a Henderson strip mall, known mostly for serving fresh, properly fried cod and haddock that locals and visitors alike keep coming back for. The interior is unpretentious and casual, geared towards quick service rather than lingering, but the staff’s friendly and attentive nature gives the place a welcoming vibe.

This restaurant is the go-to if you're craving classic British-style fish & chips done well — think flaky white fish with a light, non-greasy batter paired with hand-cut chips that maintain a satisfying crunch. Sides like mushy peas, curry sauce, and pickled onions add authentic touches that appeal to those familiar with traditional fish & chips meals as well as curious newcomers. There’s even thoughtful vegan options like a plant-based fish and chips and vegan tartar sauce, which broadens its appeal for families or groups with mixed dietary preferences.

People often swing by The Codfather for a quick lunch run or an easy dinner after local errands, especially on weekends or right before heading out of town since it’s close to main roads. The dining area feels no-nonsense but clean, making it great for families wanting a fuss-free meal or anyone who appreciates a solid portion of fish that’s hot and fresh out of the fryer. The small menu keeps things focused — if you’re not into fried cod or haddock, this may not be your spot, but if you are, it’s hard to beat what they offer here.

Comfort food in the desert can sometimes be hard to come by, but The Codfather nails a niche: it caters well to those missing British fish & chips or craving a reliable fried fish dish in the Vegas area. The option for quick bites like fish fingers for kids alongside the Kevin fish burrito adds to its family-friendly feel while accommodating some creative off-menu requests. It’s a place you’ll likely remember for the clean, crisp batter and fresh fish rather than ambiance or décor, making it a practical yet satisfying stop for anyone chasing good fried fish.

Clam chowder is loaded with tender delicious clams and potatoes melt in your mouth just like I love!! I ordered the haddock and chips it’s made to order hot and fresh the fish is not greasy or with old oil that will have anyone who loves fish coming back again. The ladies are so very nice thank you so much!

This is a very unique restaurant in that it offers a very limited menu. If you do not like fried cod fish or fried haddock this place is not for. However, if you do like either or both they make the best fried haddock and fried cod fish in Vegas, the best anywhere I have eaten actually. The fish is fresh, the fried shell is light and tasty and void of grease.

I had the Haddock and Chips with Mushy Peas. The Haddock was large and crispy, the chips were crispy and some pieces had a crunch. The Mushy Peas was very creamy and tasted like buttery scrambled eggs. This was fantastic. Never had anything like it. Overall meal was outstanding and will come back next time if I have a craving of Fish and Chips. ????????

This place was awesome! The fish was fantastic! Super friendly staff was bonus. We were heading to the airport and really miss great fish and chips ever since we moved from Canada to Texas. I saw a YouTube video of this place and we set out to get us some good old fish & chips. It was so incredible, we plan on coming back Thanksgiving for more. We highly recommend The Codfather!

This was a Stellar experience. My girl’s fish burrito called “The Kevin”, looked amazing and they made me a special vegan “Kevin burrito” that was not on the menu that was spectacular. Always, great service & friendly smiles… highly recommend. The best fish and chips in town! A great place to bring the whole family -vegan ones too.

Have been having a hankerin’ for fish and chips lately, people on a Vegas FB page recommended this place, and happened to be driving by today and noticed the sign, so I busted a U-turn and today’s the day I satisfy my craving. Parking is a bit a tight, but at least it’s free. You order and pay up at the front, then go sit down and they’ll bring it out to you. Atmosphere inside is ok, staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Had the cod and chips. Portions were decent, fries were good (wish I had a few more) and the fish was good like everyone here has already described. Usually fish and tartar sauce is greasy, but not here. And the tartar sauce tasted a bit different than anywhere else I’ve ever had it, but in a good way. Will definitely be back again. And yes, love my ketchup drenched on these style of fries. Fight me.

I just left McMullans and came here because it was so disappointing there. Now this is probably the best fish and chips and vegan fish and chips in all of Las Vegas or Henderson. It tastes as good or better than what I have had in the UK. The vegan fish and chips are made in house from scratch. Here is a picture of the vegan version. Love the chips and mushy peas too. Might be the best mushy peas I’ve ever had too.
