Pete's Fish & Chips, Glendale, Arizona, Seafood Restaurant Details

Food:

Always good...always busy...bring cash...#2 combo is the best!!

Food:

The food is a disgrace to the seafood industry. The fish is a deep fried fish stick type patty. The Shrimp are also a pre processed product. Beaten Flat and heavy breading, over cooked and rubbery. This is NOT the Pete's that served great seafood in the past! Too bad the company has downgraded their product to frozen low quality box items. What a shame!

Food:

If you're looking for fried seafood in the West Valley this is the place to go. Cash Only! An ATM is available on site.

I am completely baffled by why anyone would stick a "I am addicted to Pete's Fish & Chips" bumper sticker on their car. Though all my friends swear by it, the one is in Glendale is not all that great compared to the others, and I have visited the others. This family owned money laundering operation has been operated since 1947. Why do I say that?

#1.) They only take cash

#2.) They have ATM machines outside 6 of their 8 locations. They don't take your card but they got a machine to take your card. How much $$ is the bank paying the business to have those machines on site.

#3.) Aside from money laundering by ONLY taking cash, how much of it is being reported to the IRS??

My friends also said they happen to give people who have just got out of jail/prison a chance, which I am all for that, but you have no idea what type of blackmailing those owners or managers can do to get those individuals paroles revoked. Remember in Bound by Honor when Miklo was going straight and the owner of the tire company was cutting his wages from his check for the owner's gambling debts?

Hm.. not accusing anyone of anything, I just can see through it. Enough about that.

I am surprised how long a line of cars down Glendale are lined up to buy Petes, mainly during Lent.. the place is packed.. but the food.. not so good. Why people prefer to waste money here is beyond me.

The piece of fish tastes like paper card board. It is a piece of square that has been filleted and deep fried. Good luck finding the shrimp among all the bread. The fries, blah soggy and sometimes cold. Never freshly made. It all lacks flavors. No salt in anything! I assume the reason behind that is so that you purchase more Pete's sauce which consists of water downed ketchup mixed with Tapatio sauce. I'm like duh, you don't think some of us would not figure that one out? I paid extra for tarter sauce that I never received, and I was already home before I noticed.
Makes me wonder if the extra change I paid for, for the tartar sauce, was pocketed and never rang up. hmmm Anyways.

It's not the same Pete's Fish and Chips I grew up on. Though it is close to where I live, Petes Fish and Chips needs to start taking it to another level before I return.

Food:

This was the worst place I have ever eaten from. Everything was fake! Even the fish! The had NERVE to fry the same fish patties that you can find in the freezer section of WALMART! They ought paying me to eat that food. YUCK!
