Pretty Good! I have to admit that I am not a fan of "fried everything", but when you get the urge for fish/clam strips/shrimp/onion rings/fries, and you will be clogging up an artery anyway you really should eat the best, and this is it. Quality food, that is fresh, not frozen, cooked in high quality oil. Quality at the expense of economy, this is a dangerous combination for a young restaurant to attempt. We hope they can pull it off. The fries are crispy and light, the onion rings taste great and don't leave behind a puddle of oil. We had the haddock, which is served with a couple of different dipping sauces. It was great!, white, lightly breaded with a very nice batter, and not greasy. You actually taste the freshness of the fish. The slaw was good, but not special, but lowly coleslaw would have to do a Tasmanian tap dance on your taste buds to stand out from the flavor of the fish. There are numerous other items and combinations of items on the menu board, and to be fair I did notice that there are grilled items (non fried) being added to the mix. We got the feeling that this is a family affair. Ada was visiting with the guests, the kids (obviously quite young) were helping out and mingling with the diners, the cook, (Mr. Ada?) was also visiting and checking on the guests and helping refill drinks. Pretty refreshing and small townish in their approach to customer service. We liked it. No pirate hats for the kids, you won't use coupons for free hush puppies or an extra "plank" of fish, no fish tacos, (oh please Ada, never do that, it just isn't natural). It's a little hard to find, tucked into a strip mall sort of location on Indian School road at the end of Wigwam Road in Goodyear, Arizona, but well worth the trip.

Judging by the positive reviews, I really wanted to like this place. I won't go back though and here's why: *The fish and clam entree with fries and coleslaw was meh. Long John Silver's fish is better. The coleslaw had some awful seasoning, I threw it away after one bite. The clams were hard. *My intentention was to dine-in but the hot temps inside were too uncomfortable. I don't like sweat dripping off my forehead while I'm eating so I left my table and opted for take-out instead. *I requested and was assured extra tartar sauce but when I got home realized my request wasn't granted, thus had to go back out in the 107 degree heat and drive to a grocery store to get more sauce. *I was there about 4pm and quickly realized this was THE hangout for junior high kids who appeared to be just loitering inside and causing trouble as evidenced by the manager scolding them. Classy. *The service was ok considering the obvious lack of customer service training. Think "lemonade stand" caliber of service. Most likely their first jobs. One star because they serve bottled beer and it was ice cold.

3.5 Stars, but I believe it has the potential to increase. I really really like fried fish, so when I came across this hidden gem on Yelp, of course I had to give it a try. I've been here twice now, once on my own, and then another time to introduce my Hubby to it. The first time I went I had to search for the spot, because I didn't see the lit up sign facing the street (it's kinda small)...once you're in the strip mall, it's kindof hidden off at the end. Anyhow, I ordered the fried fish and fried scallops with fries and coleslaw - to go. The nice guys told me it's better to eat it there, so it wouldn't get soggy on the way home, but I was only going about 1 minute down the street, so I said it should be fine...They wrapped it up nicely for me and I hurried home! Let's start with the flavor...which is spot on! The flavor of the batter is so good. This is not a southern fried fish with a super crispy cornmeal batter, it's different, more of a flaky batter, but it's good! I really enjoyed the flavor of the batter and on the scallops it was very delectable :) I don't even eat scallops like that, and I really enjoyed these. My only complaint was that the batter comes off the fish and scallops super easy...I wish there was a way to fry it on there harder...Oh, and it's a bit pricey...I wanna say it was around 20 bucks for what I ordered, but from what I could tell, it's good quality fish and scallops and I think the owner has it flown in. The second time I went, I took the Husband and we dined in. He ordered the fish and chicken strips, which he enjoyed. I ordered the same thing I had the first time, fried fish and scallops. This time we ate there. The owner is really nice and personable and asked us if we wanted to taste a soup he and his chef were working on. It was a fish soup and it was quite tasty! When our meals came out everything looked great. But again, the batter isn't crispy enough and falls off the scallops and fish... :( I wish they could come up with a way to fix that. I love the texture of a crispy batter and perfectly cooked fish/scallop....Ada's, please fix that!!! Next time I go I plan on trying the fried shrimp, they look amazing. Sidenote, I love the fact that this is a small local business that actually cares and makes quality food. It's just what this neighborhood needs!!! Because Im sure Im not the only one tired of all these lack luster chains in Goodyear.

This place has awesome fish and chips and the onion rings are to die for. You don't smell grease or fishy smells either. Highly recommend. People here are very friendly too.
(5)Christina P.
Wow! Fresh, flaky, moist, delicious haddock in a light dusting of cornmeal in the desert! I actually wound up getting my order to go and it gets wrapped in butcher paper in such a way that it creates a handle --too cool! Brought it back to my desk to eat and got pulled into meetings after just a few bites, but you know what? Even when it was cold, it tasted good. It did not get gummy or soggy. Of course, I do not recommend eating it cold. I'm just saying that's the quality we're talking about here. Ordinarily, I douse my "fish n chips" in vinegar but it just didn't feel right with ADA's. No vinegar or lemon required. :) This place is destination worthy! Two-thumbs up!! (it's tucked away in the corner. don't miss it!)

Well I went there for dinner after seeing a recommendation online and honestly it was ok. Now I love fried foods but in this case, it is a little breading heavy. Fries and coleslaw were perfect along with the clams I had. My only problems was the fish and the price. To me halibut, even though it's fresh, just isn't a frying fish. Couple that with heavy breading and it just wasn't good. The spices used in the breading are good though. As for the price you get a few clam strips and one strip of fish for $13. Service was amazing though. I'll most likely be back in to try this place again in a few months

Who says you can't find fresh fish in the valley. If you're a fan of Fish & Chips, then ADA 's should be your next stop. I went to ADA'S Fish Fry on the recommendation of of my fellow "yelpers" and I am so glad I did. ADA'S is a wonderful, family-owned fish & chips restaurant. The fish is fresh, delicious and served with a smile. On my first visit I selected the lunch combo. The lunch combo came with 2 big pieces of fish, a large portion of homemade fries, coleslaw, sauce, and a drink. The fish is a delicious flaky,meaty, white fish, and the breading is a light tasty mix of flour, cornmeal, and seasoning. The fish is light, crunchy, cooked perfectly, served hot with the best homemade French fries in town. The lunch combos run about $8.50 and the portions are absolutely huge. I am excited to have finally found a fresh seafood restaurant in the West Valley. The guys behind the counter were very welcoming and accomdating. The quality of the food is top notch. I will definitely be back soon.

3.5 stars. My mom was craving some type of seafood and she also didn't want to stray too far from home. Looked up some fish and chips here on Yelp and this place sounded pretty good. We got in the car and headed on down. I saw the place from the road but passed it and had to pull a U turn in order to get into the shopping plaza. This place is tucked away in the corner, right on Indian School Rd. We walked in and there was one other man eating lunch. He said hello to us and seemed like he was enjoying his meal. You walk up to the counter, place your order and they deliver your food to your table. We ordered a few things....we got a Haddock and Fries lunch special, a Scallops and Fries lunch special and an order of Onion Rings. The lunch specials came with a fountain drink (Coke products). The drink machine is behind the counter so the guy working the front filled up our beverages and then we took a seat. A few minutes later, the food was out. Here is how it was...................... Haddock and Fries Lunch Special ($8.95)- This platter looked very delicious. It contained two good sized pieces of fish, a nice amount of fries, a small thing of coleslaw and tartar sauce/fry sauce. The fish was super moist and tasted great. They fly in their fish twice a week from the Boston area and you could definitely tell it was fresh. The batter was very light and was a typical "fish fry" batter. The fries were natural cut fries and they were delicious. They reminded me of Phils BBQ fries in SD but not as crisp/good. The coleslaw was tasty. I couldn't really tell if it was a mayo based or vinegar base. I saw some white sauce sitting on the bottom of it but it didn't taste mayoish at all. It had a hint of apple cider vinegar? to it. It was pretty tasty and refreshing. Scallops and Fries Lunch Special ($10.95)- This platter was identical to the fish platter minus the fish ;-) lol. This platter came with 8 or so nice sized scallops that were breaded in the same "fish fry" breading. The breading fell off of these kind of easily but they were still delicious. They were cooked perfect and tasted great! Onion Rings ($4.95)- Totally fresh and hand battered! The batter was similar to the fish fry batter but it had added pepper to it. The batter was very light and kind of crumbled off easily, but the taste of these were great. Reminded me a bit of a Teds onion rings...kind of like an onion string almost but in ring shape lol. These were excellent! Overall I was impressed for the most part. Service was excellent and the food was very good. It is just a tad steep though for what you get. Our bill was $28.00 for two pieces of fish, 8 scallops, fries, slaw and onion rings. The drinks come with the lunch special or else they would have been an additional $2.25 each. That would have put us at close to $35.00 for lunch. If they were $5.00 less or tacked on an additional piece of fish and 2 or 3 more scallops, the value would be better. The only other slight complaint is about the flies. They opened the side door while we were there and we had some flies buzzing around our table most of our meal. Slightly annoying and nasty. Will I be back? Probably....this was one of the better fried seafood joints I have been to in awhile. Just bring your $$ and maybe a flyswatter and you will be good to go ;-)!
(3)Sean C.
Well another great find, right next to Royal Jasmine Thai. Let me tell you folks, the wafts of exquisite odor of fried seafood filled the parking lot and drew us into this establishment! Service was sublime, seafood is flown in daily and never over a day old! Now to the taste! Only two words matter here, SIMPLY SUBLIME!!! I would do this weekly but my lovely partner in crime advised me that it would be better to do twice a month to minimize my fried food intake. Honestly, I foresee a couple of trips on the down low... Lol Seriously, great food, great people and excellent prices! Come and enjoy!

Straight off, I gave this restaurant three stars, because "four" is "I'm a fan" and I'm not. Now having said that, it's not because there's anything wrong with the place. On the contrary: it's been open for about a year in a rather isolated locale and within this isolated locale (a strip mall), it's almost hidden on the side. In other words, people who come in here to eat didn't discover the place by accident; it's well hidden. When we came in to eat tonight, you could tell that the restaurant has its devoted fans ... and they come in groups. Is what is written in other reviews accurate? Pretty much. If you're a fan of fried foods (and of fish fry in particular), this place will be everything you want it to be. It's obvious the fish is fresh and not frozen: after frying them, it's tender and tasty. So what's my problem? Simple: I'm just not used to eating fried foods anymore and so this food sat on me and sat hard. Also, I rarely use salt and frying very frequently brings out the saltiness in food. But these are MY problems; I'm not going to be idiotic enough to complain, like someone on here did, that the food is greasy. What were you expecting from a place that has the word "fry" in its name? But I can't honestly claim to be a fan or, for that matter, to give this place the review it probably deserves because of my eating habits. It's sort of like giving a very expensive French wine to someone who likes wine, but is no connoisseur: sure, the wine will taste wonderful, but, most likely, so will the $14.95 Cold Duck champagne. Portions here match the prices and the service is friendly; the owners even come around to make sure you're doing fine and enjoying the food. I did like the cole slaw a lot. So, in conclusion, if an out-of-the-way restaurant can manage to earn so many fans, there must be a reason. Restaurants that have opened in this location before have not done well and it's mainly been because of being buried in the back of the mall. This isn't fine dining; it's not meant to be. You will, however, be full afterwards and the food was tasty and I can readily say that, even if I'm not a fan of fried foods (though I would say, I like my onion rings thick and heavily breaded; theirs is thin cut and lightly coated). So, to sum up: Good and friendly service; Attentive concern from management; Reasonably priced; Fresh and tender fish, criminally covered with deep-fried breading Yabba dabba doo cole slaw This place may not be for me, but if you get excited over Black Bear Diner's all you can eat fish fry on Friday's, do yourself a favor and spend a few more bucks and have real fish. Just don't ask me back until you start baking :-)
(3)Renaldo K.
Amazing flavor! Been looking for a good seafood place in the area and I struck gold with this one. Fresh taste from the shrimp down to the homemade batter and sauces. Seafood is flown in every week from Boston. Staff is friendly. I was told there are several things in the making to be added to the menu. I can't wait!
(5)Diane C.
This is the best little fish place in the area. The food is always prepared well and so fresh and so very delicious. They even pan fry fish for me since I must eat gluten free.
(5)Yvonne D.
AMAZING eat at least 1 a week. fresh and awesome. my tastebuds are dancing. The fish is so tasty and so clean tasting. No old oil ever used....staff are all fantastic
(5)Robert K.
Cute place, great service. Basic choices, fish,shrimp,clams,and scallops. I can attest to the first two. Take top shelf fresh seafood flown in from east coast weekly and cooked as well as any pro chef. Do only 4 entrees, 2 hand made sides and do them unbelievably well. When you pick up the filet and it just falls apart, you can tell it's so moist and fresh and cooked to perfection. The shrimp are pretty large but the minute you take a bite you go oh. You will know what perfectly cooked, top shelf shrimp tastes like. It's unlikely you've had it in a while. You will most likely pass one over to your spouse and say, omg, you gotta try this. Then you both just look at each other and nod. Fried shrimp are usually ehh.. Over-cooked, flattened prior to freezing, all look exactly the same,taste the same in 90%of the restaurants in town. The other 10% have amazing pictures of shrimp on their menu, but when you get them they look a lot smaller, or perfect arraigned and still taste half.way from ehh to good. I know food pretty well and these were amazing. The fries were a 7/10, they cut them fresh and I expected them to have the taste of oil, but they didn't, surprising me they were pretty good. I'll go for onion rings next time. The cole slaw is well cole slaw. I'd much prefer a monster drop biscuit. This will be on our regular list. Little pricey, but aren't most things that are worth having?
(5)Megan N.
Not only was the food EXCELLENT!!! So was the customer service. From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcomed. We weren't sure what we were going to order so we sat down with a menu to decide and a gentleman came over after giving us a moment to look over the menu and helped us to decide what we would like to order. I had the fish sandwich, my husband had the fish and clams and my daughter ordered the shrimp. She loved her food too and she is super picky. This is definitely a place we will be returning to over and over as a favorite.
(5)Sean W.
Really good scallops, good fried fish, and AMAZING French fries. I loved the food and the service was great; but, just too pricey for me. We will go back because it is fresh fish... Just not as often as we would like because of the cost.
(4)S. O.
Fresh Haddock from Boston twice per week, so they claim - and it tastes like it! The batter is crunchy crisp without being heavy or greasy. Good chips and tasty vinegar dressed coleslaw. The lady that waited on us, not an owner, was so proud of the food and so personable it made the experience all the better. And they know how to do take out. The fish and chips were wrapped in butcher paper so they stayed warm and crisp.
(5)Deb A.
What an absolute gem! Fresh fresh fresh!!! My fiancé is having me write this review because he's savoring the last of the deliciousness! We are thrilled to have discovered the coral reef of Goodyear; the proverbial pearl! This weekend, we are toes in the sand, enjoying every morsel of this getaway!!
(5)Stephen P.
Ate at Ada's for the first time tonight. Great food and a very friendly staff. We had the fish and chips, the shrimp and the onion rings. It was all great. The fish was light and flaky and the batter was just right. The onion rings were fantastic. The shrimp was great also. While all of the seafood tasted very fresh, I think the batter made it really very good. I brought my father here for his birthday. He is a picky old buzzard, and he loved it. We'll be back for sure.
(4)Ray T.
Returned for the third time and left kind of disappointed. While standing in line one of the employees described the "Cabin Boy" combo to another customer in line. He said it was a dinner for two and consisted of "1/2 order of fish, 1/2 order of clams and a 1/2 order of scallops. The price was $22 and some change. It sounded interesting so we gave it a try. I didn't do the math at the time, but if you take half the price of those three meals it would be cheaper than this "combo" was. We had a long wait for the food and when it was delivered it was a very small portion. One small piece of fish, a few clams and a few scallops. I could have ate this thing by myself but my wife and I had to share it. Afterwards I did the math again and figured by getting three 1/2 orders we only got 1.5 meals. We would have got two whole meals had we each got our own meal and not this "meal for two". We got 1.5 orders of meat and 1 order of fries which we had to share. The food was good but disappointed that we both left hungry.
(3)Adam B.
Customer service was excellent. I had the fish and chips and it was was delicious. The batter is corn meal based and fried crispy. Frys were also fried to a nice crispiness. I will try to get here once a week. Coleslaw was delightful. Simple balance between fresh crisp cabbage and carrot and a tangy sweet sauce. Omg did I forget to mention the seafood chowder!!! Ridiculous. Left me speechless.
(5)Jennifer M.
Really good! Best fry batter. Had the fish, clams, and I onion rings. Huge portions. Pricey but worth it
(4)Allison B.
Stopped in to get take-out lunch Friday. Very nice gentleman behind the counter took my order and also prepared the food. We ordered 2 of the fish lunch specials. The food quality was very evident despite suffering slightly from the 15 minute drive home (we hit EVERY traffic light! Grrr...). We thoroughly enjoyed the product once we got home, so I look forward to eating in in the future, to truly get the food at its freshest, blazing hot straight from the fryer! The lunch special featured a nicely sized piece of fried haddock with a crisp cornmeal crust, a plentiful portion of fries or onion rings (we got one of each, the onion rings cost $1.00 more, a very reasonable upcharge, given the generous portion) and a small tub of coleslaw. The coleslaw was made in house and tasty, there was no chemical preservative laden gloppiness of some coleslaw you might get elsewhere. There were also two sauces, one a traditional tartar sauce and the other a flavorful if slightly spicy remoulade type sauce. Both sauces tasted good on everything, the fish, fries and rings. They advertise the fact their fish is flown in twice weekly from Boston. The haddock was very good quality. We look forward to going back and trying their other items such as fried clams or scallops and the seafood chowder. I give them kudos for keeping the menu limited, it allows them to perfect their offerings!
(5)Keith B.
Visiting from Memphis and had Ada's on my list of "to-do", and I'm so glad I did. Fish sandwich was excellent. Not greasy, more than a bunful, and just wonderful. Onion rings also excellent. You can definitely taste the freshness of the fish. Prices are very reasonable. As others have noted, the whole staff is super friendly. They greet you at the door and check on you throughout your meal. I wish we had them in Memphis! I highly recommend Ada's.
(5)Chad R.
Fantastic food and friendly service. Fresh. Delicious. Passionate about their food and you can taste the difference!
(5)Erica S.
I absolutely was impressed by this place! Not only is the fish super fresh and perfectly prepared in a yummy batter but the service I received was FANTASTIC! The manner and my server were extremely nice! I will be returning!
(5)Melissa Y.
Ah.ma .zing. Fresh and delicious, with very friendly service! Come at dinner time on a Friday and you'll stand in line for a little while, but it's worth the wait. I've only tried Ada's for carry-out, and haven't experienced dine-in. That said, the dining room is clean and looks comfortable; outdoor seating is available. I can't believe I can get this fish in the desert!
(5)Jack F.
Absolutely the freshest fish fry I have ever had outside of Boston!!! This place rivals any place you would find in Boston or anywhere in the Northeast with its freshness. If it was any fresher, it would still be swimming. Highly recommended..... Five Stars I can't say enough about how good this place is. The fish is flown in from Boston twice a week and it is hand cut and hand breaded on premises. Nothing frozen and absolutely delicious. The fish is light, flaky and absolutely delicious! The breading is light and crisp and not heavy at all. It is cooked to perfection and never greasy. If you enjoy fresh fish then this is the place for you... They also have a scallop dinner that looks just great and I'm going to order that the next time I'm there.... If all you ever had is frozen fish filets then you're in for a real treat. This is nothing like any of the sea food chains that you've been to like Red Lobster or Landry's or worse yet Long John Silvers... The portions are very generous and they make their own hand cut french fries and crispy onion rings. The homemade coleslaw was fresh and crisp and very tasty.... Just like my Mom used to make, not from some big plastic tub. The price is extremely reasonable considering that you're getting real fresh seafood and the generous portion size. A real value for your money. Check this place out and you'll become a regular customer I'm sure.... You won't be disappointed you did.... UPDATE April 2015. Came back here again tonight and had the scallops. Absolutely delicious tasting. Super sweet and moist!!! Try this place!!!!!!
(5)Kevin S.
Fish was very fresh and good. No real flavor in the batter for the breading. Bland. The wait time was ridiculously excessive. Customer service was awesome, very nice and professional.
(3)Luciana L.
Fresh fish. Delicious awesomeness. A bit on the expensive side so I wouldn't come here frequently but it was pretty yummy. Great service, too.
(4)Debbie R.
WOW!! That was delicious!! Everyone super nice and food was Great too! We ordered the fish and chips dinner, one with shrimp, very very good. we'll be back for more.
(5)Jenny B.
Excellent food. Excellent customer service. Large portions. Will definitely be back
(5)Tim K.
Fish fry was great! Love the fries. The fish was extremely fresh and tasty! Shania was a great server!
(5)J B R.
My wife and I went couple days ago for dinner. The cook was very polite and helpful. We had a couples meal which include 6shrimp 1fish 6 scallops f/f and slaw which we shared and was plenty of food. Everything was fried of course (except the slaw) and was very greasy. We ate off paper plates and even our drinks were paper. I love fried food but not greasy. Our meal was thirty something dollars for a place that reminded me of long John silvers. Sorry but two thumbs down for me folks.
(1)Jessica G.
Finally a fish fry in Glendale!!! Their food is soooo good! They only use fresh fish and everything else is made from scratch. Love their tartar sauce too! I'm so grateful someone finally decided to open up a fish fry. I was so tired of the commercial seafood restaurants and fast food places. The owner is also a really nice man. I hope he's there when y'all go. Service is amazing!
(5)Belle H.
Food was amazing. Got the fish and scallop combo with onion rings. It came out hot and fresh. The owner said he gets the fish twice a week. Great food great service.
(5)Ryan S.
I love this place so much! Being from Upstate New York like the owner I felt at home! Ordinarily I have to wait till I go to New York to get good claims! But they sure provided! They also have Hoffman hot dogs which can only be gotten on the east coast! I will absolutely be back!
(5)Maria M.
Delicious! Best fish & chips I ever tasted here in Arizona. A tab pricy but all worth it. The seafood chowder is out of this world. Kudos to the chef. Highly recommend!! ;) #jumboshrimp #onionrings #fish #fries #seafoodchowder #happycostumer
(5)Barbara O.
Finally decided to give this place a try. We are from New England and were esp. excited to try the clam strips. We ordered the Cabin Boy so we could try a little of three things. Unlike another reviewer, it was enough food for the two of us. The clams were good, as were the scallops. The haddock was a very skinny piece and fried to within an inch if its life. Not very good- The cole slaw was eh- It was disappointing that EVERYTHING is fried. It would have been nice to have at least one offering that was broiled or baked. The place was almost empty on a Saturday night at dinner time. Hmmm - not sure we'll go back. New England it isn't.
(2)Ron L.
The food and staff are incredible. The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. The staff is courteous, to say the least, and surprisingly quick for such fresh food. Do not let the price deter you as it is well worth it for both quality and quantity.
(5)Robert O.
Best Seafood place in AZ. Food is fresh not like that re-fried frozen stuff you get at Long John's. Great portion. You won't go away hungry. Service is the greatest. All the staff are friendly and do everything they can to make you comfortable. As a bonus if you come on Tue or Friday's they have a seafood chowder to die for.
(5)Lorenzo A.
The fish was hot crispy the fries were the bomb oh ig you like onion rings make sure you get some onion rings not a fan of the coleslaw but everything else was delicious
(5)Susan C.
The only reason it's not 5 star is because the portions are proportional to the price. I'm not able to finish this combo and the price matched it. Cheap eats? No. Good food on a full paper plate? Eat here!
(4)Victor A.
I have to say that the fish was the best I've ever had. Cooked to perfection! I was just as impressed with the scallops. The french fries are home made and they blow any fast food fries out of the water. Also got to sample there onion rings. The best! Vince the owner and his son (Will) were supper friendly and helpful.
(5)Linda P.
Stumbled into Ada's today when my car broke down in the parking lot. Wonderful, welcoming owners and staff. I live 45 miles away, but I wish I had these friendly folks in my neighborhood. Now that I see all the great reviews, I'm going to tell all my west-side friends to head over to Ada's.
(5)Danielle F.
We had the admirals feast which is not on the menu but is a very large combo plater. Haddock, clams, scallops, fries, onion rings (all fried) 2 sauces and slaw. Cost was roughly $50 with 2 drinks. We had plenty of leftovers for our son and lunch the next day minus the scallops, there were only 10 and none made it home. This is a very odd strip mall, had I not seen this place on yelp I would of never noticed this place. Signage is horrible. Such a shame because the food is great. I will go back for sure. I love good scallops and will go back just for them. They also serve NY hotdogs which I will also try. -- Owner is super invested and offers great service. I hope they stick around because the food is really good. I recommend you try it out.
(4)Drew K.
Outstanding food and service! Fish is all flown in fresh and cooked perfectly and the scallops were awesome! They now serve beer and wine. Best fish and chips I've ever had! Don't let the unassuming outside turn you away - it's definitely worth the trip!
(5)Linda S.
Outstanding fish, friendly service and fair prices. If you love haddock, you have to try Ada's!
(5)Andy S.
This place was recommended to me by a friend who had been there. I made my second trip there last night for pick up and have to say, i was very dissappointed. The food is excellent! So far I've had one dine in and one to go experience at this restaurant. So I've had the fish, scallops, clams, fries, and onion rings. All are great, except the fries which are average. My issue is with the customer service, or lack thereof. I figured they might be busy, so i called them beforehand and placed a to go order for pickup. The girl on the phone asked how long before we'd be there and I said "10-15 minutes." her reply was, "That's good as we are busy." We get there later, and a fair mount of people are seated, but no one is in line to order. I tell the girl (that answered the phone/running the register) that we have a to go order and give her my name. Her response is "Oh, sorry, but we lost your ticket and it's been busy, so it'll be another 15 minutes before your order is ready." Essentially telling me that "you're not as important of a customer since you planned ahead, called in, and expected to pick your food up to go. The people that were standing in line when you ordered are more of a priority for us to serve before you." At that point, we were hungry, and didn't want to have to go elsewhere to get food, so we decided to wait. She, nor the owner who was (I think) behind the counter cooking had the thought or courtesy to offer something like "would you like a free drink while you are waiting due to the delay, or let me take a $1 off your meals due to the additional wait time" to help correct the shortcoming. I don't even think they realized they screwed up. IMHO, the right thing to do would have been to offer some sort of spiff to help make up for them losing my ticket, since it was their fault. I'm not asking for a free meal or anything, but i do think them not recognizing that they screwed up and should attempt to make up for it was a HUGE customer service mistake. And to top the whole experience off, the girl that answered the phone and ran the register berated the shit out of me from the time we walked in the door until the time I finally got my credit card back from her! She was an absolute smart-ass the whole time we had to deal with her! I can appreciate a friendly banter with customers giving them "a bit" of a hard time about something, but this girl was boom, boom, boom non stop smart-ass comments out of her mouth. Totally oblivious to the fact they "lost my ticket" so I got bumped to the back of the line as a result. She either needs a new job in the place, or needs to learn how to be friendly without being a smart-ass! Again, i like the food here, but in all honesty, I may not come back based on the crappy customer service experience of last night! If their service continues to be somewhat slow, and they treat customers the way I was treated, then I doubt if they are open for long as there are enough other choices in the area to not spend your $$ here.

I was waiting for Lab Corp to come back from lunch so I went to Yelp to see what was good to eat in the area. When I seen there was an actual Seafood Place that didn't cost an arm and a leg I hurry up and go there. The atmosphere was excellent. It was quiet (minus the normal table chatter)..very clean with a Back East Feel to it!! I love how the menu is on the board and what I really love is how they wrap your food up in Butcher paper yet it looks like an average to go box. Now the food.... I ordered the Lunch Special and that was 2 pieces of fish some homemade coleslaw and a large drink. They make homemade tarter sauce and Slaw and that tarter was so good I could drink it by itself!! The Onion Rings are freaking amazing and the batter they use is something out of this world. To be honest..it taste like some old family recipe from Wales, London...lmaoooo I am totally hooked and the staff was so cool it feels like I have known them for years. This is a really great place and its worth driving out of the way to taste their Fish or Clams....or hell, they can deep fry my house-shoes if it means I can have more of that batter and Tarter sauce. Also I met a really Wonderful Man while I was having lunch...I think he said his name was Bo Olsen but I could not find him on FB!! If you see this Bo, Please leave a message about this place!! You never know...We may have our Wedding here..LMAOOOO -KK

Finally a great seafood experience without a flight to the coast!!! They're flying the fish to us and what a difference from the typical Phoenix seafood experience. The fish, scallops and fried clams all were all just amazing. They have a very simple menu and I hope they keep it that way. They even make their fries and onion rings from scratch! Dinners are reasonably priced and they do have a lunch special that's a bargain for awesome seafood. It's a smaller open environment casual restaurant that skips the frills and just does seafood right for those of us that have the experience of real seafood on the coast. You'll need a place to nap after an entree and yell at the cook to give you some fries for a laugh after you've placed your order!!! He may yell back but it's worth it :)
(5)Scott W.
Fish wasvery good quality. Wasn't a huge fan of the onion rings. A bit pricey, but we will be back.

I really hope Ada's does well but one does have to wonder as they're tucked back in a corner of a newer shopping center. Right down the street from Centennial High School so I'd think they'd get some lunch business from teachers and such to sustain them until the general public finds out about them. The sad part is once they are "found" I'm afraid it may be a challenge to get a table. The first thing after walking in and being acknowledged we were asked if we'd like to sample the Seafood Chowder... I highly suggest you say YES! Very tasty, but I was there on a mission for fish & chips so I'll do the chowder another day. Staff was very nice and helpful and since we were there between lunch and dinner hours the chef/owner-partner came out and chatted with us. He was telling us about how when we came in he was right in the middle of breaking down (filleting) the fresh fish that was delivered and explained what fresh seafood they order in. I can't say enough about the seafood. Being born and raised in the SF bay area and working/playing in San Francisco and Half Moon Bay I've had some really great seafood. The food here rivals what I was used to eating at Hazels Seafood in Half Moon Bay, right off the boat! Fish fillet was thinly coated then flash fried crisp, inside was flakey and perfectly done and served with two types of tartar sauce. My wife and I both preferred the spicy one. I highly suggest the Onion Rings instead of the fries or do a combo as they're very,very good! Pricing was fair considering the portion size and that it's FRESH fish. We ended up taking most of the fries/rings home as we couldn't stop eating the fish and it filled us up. Yes, it's that good!
(5)Leslie Ann K.
Fantastic taste. The customer service is great. My mother is from the east coast and we are always on the look out for good fish fry. We just happened to be in the area and tried a fish and scallop combo meal. Everything tasted wonderful but the scallops where by far the best. If I'm in the area again I will definitely stop by again. Hopefully they won't be out of seafood chowder next time.
(5)Rich P.
Wow! I grew up in Boston like to think I know a thing or two about seafood. This place is great food tasted fresh just like advertised. Fish was flaky and tasty no smelly fish here! (When you eat fish it should not smell like fish fyi means not fresh at all!) scallops great, clams fat and meaty! Can't wait till they have the Beer flowing it will be a Friday night staple!
(5)Bruce D.
Really good fish and shrimp. Great onion rings. Faster service and alcohol would make it a five. Worth the wait.
(4)Debbie B.
The food here is awesome. Had the lunch special. The fish is amazing and the sides we just as great. If you love fish you must try Ada's!
(5)MariaElena H.
My husband and I are thoroughly enjoying the fish plate. The French fries have a perfect amount of seasoning. The fish is light and delicious dipped in both sauces that they provide. They have fish flown in twice a week from Boston. I definitely recommend this restaurant. The owners are also very friendly. We've enjoyed eating outside in their patio!
(5)Carolyn T.
The food was amazing... Shrimp and onion rings are a must and the fish fry was awesome! I will be coming back!
(5)Seymour B.
First of all I'd like to send a shout out to Gabe......Don't go changing. This place is the epitomy of good mom and pop restaurants, even though this is Arizona the seafood taste fresh. This is just what Goodyear needs, and the food is not the best part..... the customer service is even better...... Try the dinner special, you won't regret it.
(4)Kathleen S.
I thought the fish was quite good. Hubby loved it. The onion rings were great. My only complaint is that the two offered sauces were mayonnaise-based as was the coleslaw. I don't like mayonnaise, so I would have appreciated having the ability to choose another offering, or at least cocktail sauce. Overall, quite good and I'm sure we will be back. There were plant of other diners, all of whom looked quite content. The servers seemed a bit unpolished, but were quite pleasant. Just found out they do have cocktail sauce!! Yummy!!

First visit, but not my last vist. This place is simply the best fry house I have had the pleasure of imbibing in for a long time. The food is FRESH. As fresh as it comes in AZ. They pride themselves on quality. It ain't bragging, if it is fact! I had the jumbo shrimps. They were hand breaded in house. Any one else out there that hand breads their shrimp? Even the big name fish houses usually bring them in breaded. Let's focus on the breading; taaaa.sty! Very tasty. Made-to-order onion rings (with the same beautiful breading) are a nice touch. If you are looking for the best deep fried seafood and fish, give them a try. (Have some scallops - you won't be disappointed.)
(4)Sarah B.
Authentic fish fry! Nice and super friendly, the fish is delivered fresh from Boston twice a week! The hubs had the FishFry and liked it, it was huge, he didn't even finish! I had the chicken and onion rings both of which were excellent, and cooked perfectly! The place is clean, and the "wait staff" checked on us constantly offering refills and checking on our satisfaction! A bit of an older crowd, but it is December in Palm valley, so welcome snowbirds! We'll definitely be back!!
(4)Roman S.
Best fish and chips in the valley. Onion rings are fantastic. Go to Ada's, you won't be disappointed.
(5)Alicia K.
Great service! First time I have been here and the cook gave a run down of the menu. I couldn't remember if I had ever had a scallop. The cook quickly prepared a piece to sample before I ordered. They even threw in extra fries for my 1 year old at no additional cost. The fish and scallops are delicious. I ordered the onion rings and they had a light batter. I would definitely order this again. Great little mom and pop fish fry restaurant!

Finally talked my wife into trying a "fried" fish restaurant (that also happens to be the closest restaurant to our home... We do miss Dino's having moved a few miles from us). We have spent much of our short but happy lives on both the West and East Coasts and 4 years in the Caribbean as well as a few trips to Hawaii and I am happy to report that right here in Goodyear we have fried seafood as good as/better than anything we have previously enjoyed. Ada's scallops literally melt in your mouth. Their fish and clams are fresh and nothing is greasy; everything we had is nothing less than excellent. Fries and onion rings are much too good. The folks working at Ada's are most amiable, informative and helpful. My cardiologist may not be thrilled but we are adding Ada's to our frequent, Goodyear and surrounding area, restaurant list.
(5)Siska F.
Finally, a place that serves good quality seafood in West Valley! I thought it'd never existed until we went to Ada's. Their fried fish just melts in your mouth and I'm a huge fan of their homemade coleslaw. Their breading is light, crunchy and nicely seasoned. Ada's is bringing the typical fish and chips to another level. Now they just need to get some beers in there and they're all set. I didn't give them the full 5-star because our fries were a little soggy. No biggie! We can tell they care and have huge passion for their food and service. Keep that up and the place could survive in the volatile West Valley restaurant industry. We'll be back!
(4)James M.
Very friendly staff. Fresh cut French fries were very good. Fish was fresh and tasted great. Highly recommend!
(5)Lisa F.
It's a new small place, clean, order at the counter fresh fish fry. They had several types of dips and the french frys were good. No beer :( sad hope that's too come soon. There was plenty served in one serving didn't need more. Husband wished his was crisper and wanted Texas toast. Fish was white and very good. Coleslaw ok. Hope they stay and grow - we'll be back.
(3)Scott M.
Friendly staff and excellent food. We especially loved the scallops. Can't wait to go back again.
(5)Jean L.
Stopped in today at the height of the lunch hour (12:20pm). Only two customers were seated and eating lunch. No staff visable anywhere. Waited more than 5 minutes for someone to show up at the counter to take my order before giving up and leaving.
(1)D G.
Great food! Fish is so fresh and the hand battered coating is one of the best I have experienced. Fries cut fresh and slaw is awesome. When they have Beer than I'll give them a 5 star. Service is friendly and that's another reason we will be a regular.
(4)Kae W.
Excellent food excellent service good people. A little hard to find the first time but so worth looking for. Already planning our nect visit.....bringing people with us. Be sure to introduce yourself to the cook, he's a goid guy. Onion rings are so good. Yum yum.

Was down in Phoenix visiting my parents for a weekend & was craving a fish fry. Being a Catholic from the Midwest during lent I do get a hankering for a good fish fry. :-) Searched Yelp & this place looked the most promising that wasn't too far away from the house. Was looking forward to trying the clam chowder which they were out of. So disappointing. Opted for the Shrimp & fish plate with french fries & cole slaw. I wanted to like it more but the fried fish was just too greasy. My stomach cannot handle too much grease. The shrimp was good. Cole slaw was good. The fish actually was light & flaky (when you removed the greasy batter.) Wishing I had actually gotten just a plate of shrimp. My Mom had gotten onion rings (add $1 more) instead of fries & they were just absolutely greasy as well. French fries seemed like they were possibly cut to order but I think they came from a bag as well. Ended up with all the tiny ends & no real length to any fry. They were good for a while but then again the grease factor got to me. Sadly I cannot give it 3 stars because I would not likely come back. Wanted to give it more stars & hoped I had found a great fish fry place for when I visit the folks but I guess the search is still on.
(2)Pat S.
Best fish fry I had since leaving Wisconsin, the fish fry Capitol. Fish was great, onion rings even better. A little expensive but I will be back.
(5)Kenny D.
Great fish and scallop !!!! Great addition to the Goodyear neighborhood. Family owed.
(4)Kylie B.
Ammmmaaaazzzziiinnnggg! I don't even like breaded or fried anything but this place has got me hooked! The scallops are so delicious...in fact everything is SO delicious and the staff is super friendly. Try it..you wont regret it! And if you do, it's cause you have poor taste in food!
(5)Timothy J.
Delicious fish and chips. The breading could use a bit more flavor, and the absence of tartar sauce was noticed (by me at least); but everything else was fantastic. They fly their fish out from Boston bi-weekly, so it is very fresh. Then they fry it to flaky perfection and serve it right up with some amazing french fries. Definitely ask for some fresh lemons, but other than that, get the fish!
(4)Jay L.
Absolutely fantastic. It really is like they "beamed" a top-notch Boston fish fry straight to Litchfield Park. This is 100% legit THE BEST FISH you'll find for hundreds of miles.
(5)Deanna G.
My family and I went to Ada's last night. The fish, shrimp, scallops and clams were all super fresh and super crispy! Ada's knows how to deliver simple yet exceptional seafood. The fries and onion rings were also crunchy and delicious.
(5)Jill M.
Finally a REAL fish/seafood place in Arizona! Those of us from the Northeast know good seafood and Ada's has brought it here - fresh. If you've never had clam strips, try these. They are among the best I've ever had (and that's really saying something). Tender, delicious. My mother-in-law loved the fish and chips and we both thought the breading they use is outstanding. Definitely a winner. It is tucked away, so you may have to search for it, but do it.
(5)Kelly C.
I'm usually not a fan of fried food, but the fish and seafood here have a light batter that isn't heavy or greasy at all. The Scallops are the BEST I've ever had!! Everything is very fresh, including the Haddock, which is amazing! The service is fast and friendly. Someone mentioned they thought it was a little pricey, but they give you generous portions and high quality fish and seafood, so I feel the prices are very reasonable.
(5)Don K.
Excellent fish fry. The Haddock was fresh and fried to perfection. The onion rings were lightly breaded and hit the spot. Locally owned. Worthy of more visits to try the scallops and clams. Seafood is flown in from Boston twice a week!
(5)Linda W.
Ordered a combo of fish, scallops and clams. The scallops were cooked perfectly and they were just fricken fabulous! I am not usually a fan of clams, but they serve a nice meaty claim strip, so I was very pleasantly surprised at how good they were. The fish is very good nicely seasoned and moist. The owners and staff are very friendly and the place is very clean and decorated very cute. They are a great addition to the West Valley, I will definitely return.
(5)Colleen S.
It didn't take me long to find the restaurant. I was a little surprised that the place was almost empty at lunchtime on a Saturday. Maybe they have more business at night. I was impressed with the quality of the fish. Onion rings are the real deal. Server was nice. Cook was nice. Coleslaw was good. Shrimp was amazing. I will definitely go back. I hope they stay in business because the prices seemed a little steep.
