Great food!!! Fish, shrimp, burgers, burritos, etc! I've gone here since I was a little kid and need seemed to disappoint me! Introduced my boyfriend to Pete's and he loves it too! can't go wrong with shrimp and chips (fries) ! Got to try it!

It's Pete's yo! If you don't know, you should. No frills, fried food. I usually get my combo's with Frings, fries and onion rings, and top off my Pete's sauce with a few dashes of Tapatio.

My all time favorite fast food place to eat while visiting Phoenix. You don't think of fish when you think of the desert but believe me, it's good! My Kids & I order the shrimp & chips with extra sauce and my Husband orders the burger and fries. Everything on the menu is tasty especially with the Pete's secret spicy sauce. I love Pete's Fish & Chips!!!

This place is truly a common component in your diet if you grew up in the vicinity of a Pete's Fish n' Chips. I've always ordered the fish n' chips, recently adding shrimp to the mix. The fish is in a rectangular shape and the breading is always a nice golden color. Pete's isn't doing anything fancy here and yet it has remained to be a local favorite since 1947! L-O-V-E the Pete's sauce (its pato sauce and ketchup.) and it's a great spicy ketchup kinda deal. Way better than any cocktail sauce. The fish and fries have a good amount of salt on them and I think that's all they use for seasoning. It's simple and good. The fish and shrimp can be a bit greasy, but it is to be expected when you are eating fried food. But I don't think it is nowhere near as greasy as its competitor Long John Silver. Way back I know I've had the burritos and monster burgers, but given the name of a place you might wanna guess what is best to stick with. I'll take Pete's over any other fish n' chip place! Ps, It's CASH ONLY.

Save yourself the drive and just buy some Mrs. Paul's fish squares. This is not my idea of fish and chips. No fish filet here just a deep fried square of processed fish.

My husband and I went expecting real hand battered fish, not a frozen patty from Costco and bland fries. A real let down. And they'd don't have any malt vinegar or even ketchup and their cup of sauce is just watered down cheap cocktail sauce. Not what we remember Pete's being like, the owners are clearly more interested in making a large profit than serving a quality product, which will eventually hurt their business by driving customers away. In addition, that only accept cash and the ATM on site charges $3 for a transaction. We will no go back.

I know they all have Pete's sauce, but this joint's is best, SPICY.... You can order burgers, fish and chips, chicken tenders, corn dogs, the menu is huge. This place has been "upgraded" from the old stand style shop to a bigger building with more covered outdoor seating. Pete's isn't a gourmet style shop, so if that's your ticket, punch it elsewhere. If you want some deep fried crispy fish and chips, or a great burger this place is certainly good for that.

Tried this place out for date night with the husband and it was garbage. Ordered the seafood platter meal for little over $9. The fish was a processed prefrozen square patty that tasted like it was out of a box. The French fries were cold and the shrimp was plain weird. It was all batter with shrimp particle in it. It looked like they took a piece of shrimp, cut it in four pieces and deep fried each with extensive batter to save money. They advertised fried oysters and said they don't serve it. We asked for lemon, napkins and ketchup and they said they didn't have any. The service was just as bad. Girl was rude and non accommodating at all. Would not recommend place to anyone. Better off going to mcdonalds for the fish filet or long john silver for the money because this place was way too over rated and over priced for what it serves. Also the place was beyond filthy with crack heads hanging around. This place doesnt deserve any stars. That's how bad it was.

Pete's is more about the institution of Pete's than the food. As other reviewers mention, it's a breaded, fried, rectangular patty-o-fish. That's just fine if it's what you're after. It's cheap, quick, and atmospheric. We were satisfied with our snack. Watch out for the lunch and after work rushes. Busy!

Nora V.
Consistant yummy deep fried goodness every time. This place for me is for the days my stress levels are super high. I like Petes for take out at this location. Not so much to eat at but for take out. They are making a new Pete's next door to the current location on Van Buren. So I'm hoping they level the current location & have some actual parking. That would just rock. This place is so busy at meal times it's hard to find a spot that the dirve thru doesn't block you in. Not that this would be a bad place to be stuck per say but... you'd have to roll me out if you left me there too long The burgers, fish, shrimp & sauce are all good. Now stop reading & get to eating your deep fried goodness.

Suzanne Q.
Soooo disappointed. My friends raved about Pete's. Today was the day I finally check out Pete's. I order the 3 piece fish meal (w/fries). I guess it would be tood if you enjoyed greasy, oily, deep fried fish. The fish was not even seasoned well. I think the local grocery freezer could have done a better job. PROS: cheap eats, prepared quickly CONS: oily, not well seasoned, cash only I will not be going back.

I never been to a Fish, and Chips place because where I'm from they didn't have them. Someone told me that if I want to try them, I must come here. So I did, and I loved it! it was bomb. The fish was real good, and the fries were bomb too. They also have this special sauce. It is so addictive, you have to come and try this place out. Other cool thing is that this place is sorta retro, and reminds you of the 1950's. They only except cash just like the ol days too! They need to change this though for us people living in the 21st century.

Gretchen N.
Growing up in Mesa, we used to go to the old school, original Pete's. I was THRILLED when I found out about this location, since I now live out on the westsiiiiiiiiiiiiiide. (Sorry, had to do that.) I love Pete's! The only thing that bums me out is the "cash only" deal. Wtf is this "cash" that people talk about anyway? :)

To call this fish and chips is SOOO wrong. Its nothing like fish and chips should be. Go to George and Dragon in Phoenix if you want real fish and chips. Greasy squares of fish is disgusting.

Christine M.
Woe is me. I have been coming to Pete's since I was a wee one and always got a burrito and fries. I have recently revisited and...the burritos have changed for the worse. The burritos are completely different, they now have a really crappy cheese and a whole hecka lot of beef. I never quite knew what was inside the burritos, I suspected beef, but now it is almost pure beef. The sauce is still the same, the fries are still the same, but the burritos are sheer disappointment.

Gina W.
finally got a chance to try this place out, and I'm pleased to say that it is pretty darn good. while spending an evening with the in-laws, we ordered from Pete's. I had the scallops & chips(but with onion rings), which was good--the scallops were tender and juicy, but with a perfect breading; on the other hand, the breading on the onion rings was not what I was looking for--WAY too crunchy, and a bit difficult to eat. the special sauce was alright, but a bit of a let-down. it was more of a spicy ketchup than anything truly special(I would have preferred some sort of sweet-spicy remoulade). the big plus for Pete's is the COST. super cheap, quality seafood; super cheap burgers; super cheap everything. their fries were also pretty darn good(though they could have used a bit more salt, which I didn't hesitate to add). we'll definitely be ordering from Pete's again; we're dying to try the Dixie Dog, and I'll likely have a hankering for oysters soon.
(3)
Coinneach F.
If you don't live in Tolleson, Pete's is pretty much the only reason to come here. But, it's a damn good reason. The fish is tender and tasty, the shrimp strip things are addictive, the chips have that perfect combination of crisp and soggy, the sauce has a delightful tang. The only place I've had better fish and chips is Ireland.

Good stuff! Especially love their sauce, goes with everything - only bummer they don't accept credit cards, cash only....they need to fix that. We're living in the 21st century for goodness sakes!

Love this place. Very affordable, I always get the shrimp with extra sauce. It looks much better than before, a lot bigger. The only downside is they don't take credit cards but they do have an ATM inside.

Pete's has been a favorite in my family since my dad was attending Tolleson Union High School. I'm not much of a sea food person, but it's hard to resist their shrimp and chips combos. Their Monster Burger stands up to any other fast food burger as well. Don't get me started on their sauce! You could put that stuff in an IV and inject me with it and I still wouldn't be satisfied! But I never leave Pete's with out ordering at least one of their burritos. The perfect blend of beef, beans, and cheese! Weird right!? Burritos at a fish place!? Trust me... You won't be disappointed. Love this place!
(4)
Stephen P.
Ok. It is Arizona, but the fish in my fish and chips were frozen patties (about the size of a deck of cards). And no ketchup! I mean my fries cried out for ketchup, but alas, the cries went unheaded. What I got was Pete sauce. Which is a watery ketchup concoction. It didn't taste bad, but was disconcerting nonetheless.
(2)
Antonio A.
This is not real fish and chips. More like fried fish sticks from Wal Mart. Come on now... Gross nice set up thou
(1)
Luisa P.
Probably on of the best fish and chips I have ever had. My bf got me a to go order and it was soooooo yummy. The fish is cooked just right (not overdone) and the fries were well seasoned. Can't wait to go back to AZ and try them again.
(5)
Jana Y.
I love this place have been going here since high school. I have tried almost everything on their menu. By accident got a chicken sandwich and now it has become our favorite. No skimpy chicken pattie. The shrimp, fish and monster burgers are great. No trans fats. We go to the one in glendale az.
(5)
Anthony V.
Monster burgers are really good, make sure you have cash though, credit not accepted.
(4)
Kourtney C.
So this place had great reviews when I first came here. I noticed their starts have now dropped which is good. People made this place sounds amazing but if I wanted a frozen fish patty I would just have gone to the store and bought a bag of my own for cheaper.

Reese M.
Who couldn't like Petes Fish and Chips? Sure they only take cash - you can use the ATM they have. They don't have a dining room but a covered eating area. It's different, but a good different. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. I like the monster burger, their burritos, and fish sandwiches.
(5)
Lalalia A.
This was our first time eating here and we were amazed how good the food was. The crisp of the chicken sandwich and fish sandwiche with the spicy tomato base sauce was very delicious. The onion rings was a hit, great size portion. We will be back to try the rest of the menu.

Kimberly C.
As a child my mom would come after work and we would order either if it was drive in or eating outside on the patio. I give Petes Fish and Chips a high although we usually go to the one in old town Glendale. My husband is not from here so he doesnt enjoy it quite as much as I did as a kid. Lately I have noticed that they have really changed as far as the food quality. But there are good days and bad days for how the food is presented.
(3)
Yeneka C.
Pete's has always have the wrost service, especially the one in Tolleson due to it being a bunch of kids missing around in the kitchen. The food is pretty much all fired and is always missing salt. The burger are good and is actually the only good thing there except for their ketchup. All locals know that it is cash only and no refills.
(2)
Marcos G.
Oh wow ! I hear about this place a lot.... I went to get some burgers and shrimp. Well , what can I say ... I try to look for something positive on places I go eat, this place it was disappointing .... I go Order ,they tell me cash only... then I go drive to a bank teller for $$ , so I order, then Kids are playing around the kitchen ,I was like what the... few minutes later my order is ready. OK, lets see here , Oh Man! my Burger is so dry and one side is kinda burnt, the Shrimp !! all I had is the breading ..where is the Shrimp !! .... Sorry Pete if you still around , It really SUCK ! This place stands out by it's name only and the food it's like not the best ........ not coming back, for Pete's sake do something about it.

Gerardo S.
Cash only, no drink refills, no phone orders, no ketchup, 90% breading 10% shrimp, and frozen fish. No thanks. Hey Pete, can I get my money back?

This location does not serve lettuce or tomato. So when I asked for a monsterburger deluxe w/ cheese. The guy taking my order was like...uhh what's deluxe? So I told him that at the Indian School location, they have the deluxe option with lettuce and tomato. He then told me that they do not serve tomato or lettuce. Get on the lettuce tomato bandwagon Tolleson Pete's!! This location is crazy busy on Saturdays nights (probably on Fridays too, but I went with my mom on a Saturday night). Highly suggest not parking on the west side of the building and the line of cars in the drive-thru can stretch all the way to the street...and you may have to wait for a few minutes to back out of your parking spot. Best place is to park on the south side of the building.

Pre-made frozen products. Cash only is a little questionable. The price of the food is high for cafeteria quality. I'd say it's comparable to hospital food but fried.

Chris B.
growing up this place was always a treat. i was excited 2 years ago when my shop was moved to 1 mile from this location. we had it for lunch a couple times and it was ok. not neer as good as it use to be. the shrimp use to be much bigger and pretty sure they were hand battered back then. after the initial couple times, it got even worse. the shrimp is prepackaged, over breaded, and hard would be the best way i could describe it. the shrimp is mushy but batter is hard. i was going to give up on it, but tried it 2 more times, and gross both times. what a shame. use to be soooo good, and now it is just gross. to top it all off, yesterdays lunch has me sick as a dog with food poisoning, and luckily i was only able to choke down half of it. had it tasted good, i would probably be even sicker. i am done with petes. no longer addicted. i can only assume that the original owners passed the company to their kids and they are running it without the same passion?

Bethany B.
I think most people give this place more stars because they grew up going here, but let's be real, their fish is barely a step above a McDonald's fish filet. This place is getting 2 stars for atmosphere and service. I liked their setup and service was pretty fast and accurate, even with a line. Definitely the only redeemable thing going for this place. For food, I would give it zero. Awful fish...I was dumbfounded to pay $20 for something I could have bought in the frozen fish section at Fry's for $7. Nostalgia would not be enough to bring me back to this place. Horrible.

Lynn D.
What has happened to Pete's? The breading on the shrimp is different, has a rubbery texture, shrimp? where its all breading now and the mound of salt the toss on top? The sauce it not the same to watery and not much kick to it anymore. Used to love Pete's but something has changed and not for the better, not sure we will be back..sad and disappointing.
(1)
Ricky D.
Came back again on Mon. around noon with my 2 daughters and grand daughter in tow for our Pete's fix. Nothing much has changed from my previous reviews and updates save two! The shrimp are now a little smaller overall but larger pieces of shrimp inside the batter and the prices have gone up! Our order of fish combo (2 fish, 5 shrimp and fries), 7 piece shrimp and fries and 8 piece chicken nuggets came to $21.80 not counting $2 ATM charge for cash. Got our food quickly and piping hot even during lunch rush! Be careful if you go, lots of road work on Van Buren in front of Pete's and other businesses! Prob be awhile for our next fix!

Loved it! That sauce is pretty awesome. Crispy coating on my shrimp stayed crispy and crunchy. I was a bit disappointed that they were out of oysters...but there's always next time. I'm a bit embarrassed to say that even having lived in the valley for over 10 years, this was my first trip to Pete's. I don't know why I waited so long!

Don J.
Nothing like the quality at the 44th St. Location. Fish was flakey and over fried. Not sure i'll go back to this location. Also no lettuce or tomato? What? A second thing.. Cash only? Is this a money laundering scheme or do they not have anyone on their payroll that knows enough about IT to install and manage a POS system that can handle a CC? If this is the case I would be glad to render my services just because I know you can do better than this. Also.. Cash only just screams "ROB ME!" Not too bad, but you have catching up to do!

Kristen D.
The only reason I put one star is because I had to rate something. We tried to eat here a couple months ago but quickly realized it was "cash only." I'm curious as to how much business they are losing. Anyway we finally tried it out today and oh my it was horrible. The fish looked and tasted like they have been frozen and the shrimp were so tasteless. We paid $30 plus tax for three meals and I was so disgusted that I contemplated taking the food back. Also the no lettuce and tomato? What is up with that? We absolutely hated it and won't be back...something just sounds too fishy.

I love this place have been going here since high school. I have tried almost everything on their menu. By accident got a chicken sandwich and now it has become our favorite. No skimpy chicken pattie. The shrimp, fish and monster burgers are great. No trans fats. We go to the one in glendale az.

Monster burgers are really good, make sure you have cash though, credit not accepted.

So this place had great reviews when I first came here. I noticed their starts have now dropped which is good. People made this place sounds amazing but if I wanted a frozen fish patty I would just have gone to the store and bought a bag of my own for cheaper.

Who couldn't like Petes Fish and Chips? Sure they only take cash - you can use the ATM they have. They don't have a dining room but a covered eating area. It's different, but a good different. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. I like the monster burger, their burritos, and fish sandwiches.

This was our first time eating here and we were amazed how good the food was. The crisp of the chicken sandwich and fish sandwiche with the spicy tomato base sauce was very delicious. The onion rings was a hit, great size portion. We will be back to try the rest of the menu.

As a child my mom would come after work and we would order either if it was drive in or eating outside on the patio. I give Petes Fish and Chips a high although we usually go to the one in old town Glendale. My husband is not from here so he doesnt enjoy it quite as much as I did as a kid. Lately I have noticed that they have really changed as far as the food quality. But there are good days and bad days for how the food is presented.

Pete's has always have the wrost service, especially the one in Tolleson due to it being a bunch of kids missing around in the kitchen. The food is pretty much all fired and is always missing salt. The burger are good and is actually the only good thing there except for their ketchup. All locals know that it is cash only and no refills.

Oh wow ! I hear about this place a lot.... I went to get some burgers and shrimp. Well , what can I say ... I try to look for something positive on places I go eat, this place it was disappointing .... I go Order ,they tell me cash only... then I go drive to a bank teller for $$ , so I order, then Kids are playing around the kitchen ,I was like what the... few minutes later my order is ready. OK, lets see here , Oh Man! my Burger is so dry and one side is kinda burnt, the Shrimp !! all I had is the breading ..where is the Shrimp !! .... Sorry Pete if you still around , It really SUCK ! This place stands out by it's name only and the food it's like not the best ........ not coming back, for Pete's sake do something about it.

Cash only, no drink refills, no phone orders, no ketchup, 90% breading 10% shrimp, and frozen fish. No thanks. Hey Pete, can I get my money back?

This location does not serve lettuce or tomato. So when I asked for a monsterburger deluxe w/ cheese. The guy taking my order was like...uhh what's deluxe? So I told him that at the Indian School location, they have the deluxe option with lettuce and tomato. He then told me that they do not serve tomato or lettuce. Get on the lettuce tomato bandwagon Tolleson Pete's!! This location is crazy busy on Saturdays nights (probably on Fridays too, but I went with my mom on a Saturday night). Highly suggest not parking on the west side of the building and the line of cars in the drive-thru can stretch all the way to the street...and you may have to wait for a few minutes to back out of your parking spot. Best place is to park on the south side of the building.

Pre-made frozen products. Cash only is a little questionable. The price of the food is high for cafeteria quality. I'd say it's comparable to hospital food but fried.

growing up this place was always a treat. i was excited 2 years ago when my shop was moved to 1 mile from this location. we had it for lunch a couple times and it was ok. not neer as good as it use to be. the shrimp use to be much bigger and pretty sure they were hand battered back then. after the initial couple times, it got even worse. the shrimp is prepackaged, over breaded, and hard would be the best way i could describe it. the shrimp is mushy but batter is hard. i was going to give up on it, but tried it 2 more times, and gross both times. what a shame. use to be soooo good, and now it is just gross. to top it all off, yesterdays lunch has me sick as a dog with food poisoning, and luckily i was only able to choke down half of it. had it tasted good, i would probably be even sicker. i am done with petes. no longer addicted. i can only assume that the original owners passed the company to their kids and they are running it without the same passion?

I think most people give this place more stars because they grew up going here, but let's be real, their fish is barely a step above a McDonald's fish filet. This place is getting 2 stars for atmosphere and service. I liked their setup and service was pretty fast and accurate, even with a line. Definitely the only redeemable thing going for this place. For food, I would give it zero. Awful fish...I was dumbfounded to pay $20 for something I could have bought in the frozen fish section at Fry's for $7. Nostalgia would not be enough to bring me back to this place. Horrible.

What has happened to Pete's? The breading on the shrimp is different, has a rubbery texture, shrimp? where its all breading now and the mound of salt the toss on top? The sauce it not the same to watery and not much kick to it anymore. Used to love Pete's but something has changed and not for the better, not sure we will be back..sad and disappointing.

Came back again on Mon. around noon with my 2 daughters and grand daughter in tow for our Pete's fix. Nothing much has changed from my previous reviews and updates save two! The shrimp are now a little smaller overall but larger pieces of shrimp inside the batter and the prices have gone up! Our order of fish combo (2 fish, 5 shrimp and fries), 7 piece shrimp and fries and 8 piece chicken nuggets came to $21.80 not counting $2 ATM charge for cash. Got our food quickly and piping hot even during lunch rush! Be careful if you go, lots of road work on Van Buren in front of Pete's and other businesses! Prob be awhile for our next fix!

been coming here since I was a kid. always loved it and it is still the same as it used to be.
(5)Ella M.
Loved it! That sauce is pretty awesome. Crispy coating on my shrimp stayed crispy and crunchy. I was a bit disappointed that they were out of oysters...but there's always next time. I'm a bit embarrassed to say that even having lived in the valley for over 10 years, this was my first trip to Pete's. I don't know why I waited so long!

Nothing like the quality at the 44th St. Location. Fish was flakey and over fried. Not sure i'll go back to this location. Also no lettuce or tomato? What? A second thing.. Cash only? Is this a money laundering scheme or do they not have anyone on their payroll that knows enough about IT to install and manage a POS system that can handle a CC? If this is the case I would be glad to render my services just because I know you can do better than this. Also.. Cash only just screams "ROB ME!" Not too bad, but you have catching up to do!

The only reason I put one star is because I had to rate something. We tried to eat here a couple months ago but quickly realized it was "cash only." I'm curious as to how much business they are losing. Anyway we finally tried it out today and oh my it was horrible. The fish looked and tasted like they have been frozen and the shrimp were so tasteless. We paid $30 plus tax for three meals and I was so disgusted that I contemplated taking the food back. Also the no lettuce and tomato? What is up with that? We absolutely hated it and won't be back...something just sounds too fishy.
