| - ---- Update ----
Okay so me and a buddy went back to Pirate's yesterday and I have to say, I am saddened. They have changed suppliers, and now the versions of their items are horrible. The shrimp are just regular frozen jumbo shrimp, not the big globs of battered goodness as before. Their scallops are about as big as my thumbnail and they looked horrible. The fish is a square processed patty and the fries are skinny and cheap.
They even hired a second employee. A lady who is not only rude, but smug while she is laying into you about how the tartar sauce doesn't come with your fish. NO TARTAR SAUCE?!?!?! Its a fish and chips place!!!! In the end, we had to 'trade' (YES I SAID TRADE!) our Pete's, oops i mean Pirate's sauce for tartar sauce! WHAT A JIP!
I am removing a star for this horrendous "make over". Because hey, if you're gonna change something, change the damn tables!
---- First Review ----
What can I say about Pirates Fish and Chips? Well there are some good things and bad things (mostly good). You could EASILY compare this to any number of fish and chip 'shacks' around the Phoenix valley, but this one definitely stands out.
It stands out mostly because of its cleanliness (compared to other shacks) and the food itself. I have been to the location on Warner and Gilbert twice now and both times it was clean, and the service was fast. Everything on the menu is frozen, mind you, but it comes in large portions. The service is great, they will actually bring it out to you even if you are sitting outside! The food has been super hot (almost too hot) both times, so be careful when biting into those delicious crabby patties!
On the downside, the plastic tables are an eyesore, and should be wiped down more often. They really don't fit well with the decor (Mural, flatscreens, etc..) and I wouldn't bring anyone to this place to impress them (solely because of the tables)
