The Codfather
Inside The Codfather
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.
