| - Take a trip to GB without leaving AZ!
If you are looking for the ambience of an English pub, you won't find it here. If you are looking for authentic English pub food, you WILL find it at Codfather's! (We've traveled to the UK many times and enjoyed traditional pub food a lot. I don't consider myself an authority, but I do feel comfortable making the claim that Codfather's is authentic). They even have a little area set aside selling authentic British candy, sauces, teas, biscuits, and more!
Of course, fish and chips is the first thing that comes to min when thinking pub food, and Codfather's does not disappoint. Cod, catfish, Mahi Mahi, salmon, haddock, halibut... grilled or fried? Small or large? One doesn't get that many options in the UK!! Plus, you get a side dish - how about mushy peas or baked beans? So British! Or perhaps you fancy meat: they offer pies, pasties, sausage, etc. And of course, you can get bangers and mash, or bubble and squeak, or a ploughman's platter or even an English breakfast.
The portions sizes are very generous. The small fish and chips is big, the large order is bigger! But the ultimate deciding factor is taste. Again, no disappointment. The fish was fried perfectly, not greasy at all and the batter is delicious. The Cornish pasty was huge (half went home to enjoy the next day.)
The beer selection is awesome, too (some bottled, some on tap.) I've never found John Smith's Extra Smooth anywhere else in town!! In addition to the other UK beers (Boddington's Guinness, Fullers), they offer domestics such as Bud & Coors (why, I have no idea!!) as well as small selection of wine.
Service was great, prices are very reasonable and friendly/welcoming staff. Don't be deterred by the location - make your way to 16th & Bell, and enjoy great pub food at this family owned restaurant.
