Zeke's Fish n Chips

I came to Zeke’s Fish & Chips after seeing it online and was really looking forward to classic fish and chips. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The service was cold and unwelcoming except for the older woman—no greeting, eye-rolling from the cashier, and no thank-you or goodbye. The restaurant feels very dated and the seating area had an unpleasant urine-like odor. The fish was crispy but completely lacked flavor. Fries were just okay. The fountain drinks were flat and flavorless, as if the syrup was out. Overall, bad service plus bland food in a smelly restaurant is not a good mix. I won’t be returning.

Been awhile since I’ve been here but this probably my favorite cod around. If they gave me a lemon I’d be on cloud 9, but still 10/10. If you like fried fish you Have to try this spot

I’m not big fan on deep fried fish. How ever this fish was fresh and flaky. Just as fish should be. The issue I have is the fish was too HOT to enjoy. Even after breaking the fish into sections. Took too long to cool off. I had the catfish fry’s and hush puppies. Would I go back? If I was in the area I might. I would try the cod next time just so I could compare the two types of fish. Very small amount of parking in front how ever there’s more parking in the back. Restaurant was clean nice however the restrooms are very dated. I almost forgot the cocktail sauce was very good.

Zeke’s never disappoints! Probably the best fried wish in Fort Worth! I always get the cod and tonight I got a combo of cod and shrimp-so good! The service is always good and friendly as well. Will definitely return and recommend!

I had been craving some good cod fish so my coworkers referred me here.. The fish was 7 out of 10,the sides tasted as if they were cooked in the same grease! It was crowded so I had high expectations but sadly I will not be returning nor recommending anyone.

My boyfriend wanted to try this place since he loves fish and chips. He ordered the special fish dish with 2 pcs of fish and I got the shrimp special with 6 pcs of shrimp. The fish was pretty good. The batter wasn’t flavored much and the tartar sauce was ok. I did enjoy the shrimp and the cocktail sauce it came with. It was also a good amount of fries and it came with 2 hush puppies. Overall pretty good. Just felt like too much fried food in the end.

If you're a fan of fish and chips​ like me, this is ​a​ place you need to check out. ​I was born in London, England and I can tell you that the fish and chips here are as close to the UK recipe as I have tasted since coming to live in America in 1978. The fish is perfectly battered, light, crispy, and golden, while the thick-cut chips are just the right balance of crispy and fluffy inside. The​y also give you this dill tartar ​sauce for dipping that is crazy good. The outdoor seating area is nice​ on those cool spring or fall Texas days. This​ location is right off the ​C​amp Bowie Blvd & Bryant Irvin​ Rd. N which is ​w​alking distance from Starbucks​, ​the Ridglea Theater​, and the FedEx Office Print & Ship Center​. If you're anywhere near the area, don’t miss out on this incredible experience​.

Been eating at Zekes since 1973. Food is absolutely fantastic. Fried Cod, Okra and zucchini comes with hushpuppies and the best tartar sauce I have ever had. I always get a to go box right away and take haf home for lunch the next day. Ton of food fo 16 bucks.

I decided to take my partner here since we've been frequent in Fort Worth quite often. Celebrating their 55th anniversary it goes to show how great their food really is. It is very diving however it's still very homey. I've been visiting this location for the last 18 years and it never gets old. It is what it is sitting on the back side of Camp Bowie Blvd tucked behind Jack n the box. The staff is always so friendly and there are zero complaints here. Go on an empty stomach because you're going to leave so full and need a nap. Happy anniversary Zekes

It was 'OK' , but didapointed this last week when I went there. Was (I repeat WAS) a long time customer since about 1999..NO MORE. They did away with the Jalipeno hush puppies and changed the batter they use on the fish.. So sorry to see an old 'standby' go 'down the tube' when it got sold.

Love the food there, EXCEPT tonight I ordered the creamy shrimp soup delivered via DoorDash. DON"T do it! The few shrimp in it were dry on the tongue and tough. One bite and I was DONE, spat out the mouthful immediately. Stupid me ordering shrimp soup! Everything is good at Zeke's (which is why I didn't think twice about placing that order).

I was not expecting much. It's hard to find good fish & chips in Texas, but wow this was good. Not greasy, not fishy, light crispy batter, flaky cod. So good. Hushpuppies were just right, not too sweet, lightly fried. The clams strips were great as well. Everything about the food is just right/not too much. Can't wait to go back.

We've been to Zeke's several times for lunch and have never been disappointed. It's a small place that looks like it's been around a while, and it has a lot of character. Our most recent visit was for lunch on 4/11/2025, and it was excellent, just like the other visits. I had the fish special: two pieces of cod, fries, and a couple of hush puppies. There are plenty of places where you can get catfish, but not many that serve good cod filets. My fish was delicious. It was hot, crispy, and the two good-sized pieces were all I needed for lunch, especially with fries. Parking can be challenging, so keep that in mind. Other than that, if I am looking for fried fish and chips, Zeke's is the top of my list.

Been coming here for years & they never disappoint. Friendly staff & nice inside & outside seating.

My boyfriend wanted to try this place since he loves fish and chips. He ordered the special fish dish with 2 pcs of fish and I got the shrimp special with 6 pcs of shrimp. The fish was pretty good. The batter wasn't flavored much and the tartar sauce was ok. I did enjoy the shrimp and the cocktail sauce it came with. It was also a good amount of fries and it came with 2 hush puppies.

The food was great! It was my husband's and I first time ever at zeke's and we're definitely going back there for more. Hush puppies are so good and so are the fried mushrooms! Literally something I know I would crave forfood comes out fresh since our mouths were burning trying to eat our food! service was great! People there were so nice! Literally smiles as soon as you walk inthe place felt comfortable to eat in and felt like home to me. Definitely check it out if you haven't and if you guys go back there all the time? Now I understand why!‍

It's been a while since I have eaten at Zeke's and the food has not changed one bit. My favorite is the cod but they do offer catfish and a whole lot of other options. They have cold drinks and beer that you can order by the pitcher. Hush puppies are on point! Wait staff is friendly and always helpful to make sure you have enough tartar sauce and dill sauce for you fried veggies or fried mushrooms. This place has a wholesome laid back vide that play classic rock while you eat.

I've literally eaten at this restaurant since it opened in the 70s. When it comes to awesome fried fish, this is without a doubt the best in my opinion. The original owner sold a few years ago. But the new owners have kept everything the same. It's still the same place inside and out.

Not a good situation when they receive 32 health violations in ONE visit! As you can see from this image. It was between November 10th and November 23rd of 2024!

I've been coming to Zeke's since I was a teenager, it's very nostalgic for me. I love their fish and chips. The service is nice. You order at the counter and they being it to your table. They also have an outdoor patio. I'll definitely be back.

Place is legendary for Fish & Chips. It's a must stop for us when in area, there no place by us this good. It's small, counter ordering with table service after order. There is some space outside, restroom is shared with employees and small.

Small hole in the wall but the food was great! Made to order! We shared the tacos (one each of cod, cat, and shrimp) - the tacos were gone before I could take a photo Then we shared a few of the combo baskets with catfish and shrimp, and those came with sides so we sampled - salad, fried mushrooms, corn nuggets, clam chowder, gumbo, dirty rice, and hush puppies! My only complaint was that we ordered 2 catfish and 1 cod combo and ended up with 3 catfish. We didn't realize until we stated eating so didn't speak up. Very good value for the amount of food we got. The combo special is a great deal...Would go back for the tacos for sure!

That got rid of the jalapeño hush puppies and replaced them with a new nasty hush puppy. Just lost a long time customer. Definitely will NOT BE BACK. I hate when restaurants make stupid decisions!!! Taking my business now to The Flying Fish.

What a great visit to a Fort Worth institution that has been around for decades. Zeke's is one of the oldest restaurants in Fort Worth. If you want fish and chips, Zeke's is the place to go. Zeke's is old school with the malt vinegar on the table. My wife is not a big fish fan, so she ordered one of Zeke's phenomenal chicken salad sandwiches. They're known for preparing delicious chicken salad. With my fish and shrimp combo, I started with a bowl of perfectly prepared Cole slaw. Both of our entrees, my fish and shrimp and my wife's chicken salad sandwich were so delicious. It was great dining at Zeke's. We hadn't been there in quite a while, we'll have to return again soon.

This is an old school joint that does it RIGHT! Everything is so flavorful, from the hush puppies to the Cole slaw and of course the fish and chips (and shrimp). Order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Prompt service, great food. I've just discovered a new spot on the lunch rotation.

I love this place! And their deliveries hold up well. While I adore a lot of their menu (and it is big, so I haven't had everything!) their catfish is aces. I find it very well-priced.

Friendly service. Affordable prices. The cod was excellent. Fried mushrooms are legit. Definitely the place to come for fried fish!

On Friday, September 12, 2025, my wife and I decided to try Zeke's. We used to eat there years ago. Since then, they've changed owners a couple of times. Anyway, we took them off our list. The food was very good, not as greasy as it used to be. Portions were large enough. Back then, the service was never very good. Now they had great service. Also, the prices were about the same as it was five or so years ago. Zeke's is back on my list.

This is my first time eating at Zeke's! I have lived here since 1974, I want to say the food was Great. I know I will be back. The tartar sauce needs more relish. The service time to pickup the order and get it back home was good, everything was still Hot! Lorie B.

Searched up fries fish and came across this place. The gumbo was soooo good. But the fish was mid. I will try again as they were close to closing hours.

First of all, the service here was great! The folks who worked there are the reason this gets 4 starts instead of just 3. I had the fish, shrimp n chips special. The fish (i chose the cod) was overbreaded and kind of greasy.i did enjoy the Shrimp. They were perfectly breaded and I did enjoy them. The building itself was kind of run down and walking through the kitchen to get to the bathroom was kind of off-putting- not to mention decidedly not ADA friendly. Again , I appreciated the staff for assisting me in getting up and down the steps required.

Zeke's did not disappoint. Great food that was well worth the trip. I understand why this place has been in place since the very early 1970's...

Yes very much yes. This is the best fish and chips I've ever had. The portions are great for the price and I really like the sides the offer. The sauces are pretty good too. I like the order first and they bring it out to you when it's ready service. I do think the dining area could use some work.

They forgot our clam strips, but then delivered double clam strips for free! Also, their fried mushrooms are so good!!

A friend took me here for dinner. We arrived about a half hour before closing and dined in, which may explain the rather lackluster attitude of the staff. We were the only diners but ate our meal in a reasonable amount of time respecting the closing time. The fish was good, but not remarkable. We placed our order at the counter and had a coupon thru Yelp. The staff had to call a manager on the phone to get approval for the coupon: which seemed very odd as I showed them their page on the Yelp app. I might go back another time if i am in the area.

Stumbled on this gem on social media, it looked so delicious we made the drive to try it. One of the best shrimp I've had, and the fish and chips were amazing and battered to perfection. The staff were also great, they were polite and happy, just made our experience one to remember.

Ordered for pickup. 2 piece cod with 2 sides. Corn nuggets and fried zucchini. 10/10.

Loved our food. May be the best fish that I've ever eaten! Staff was so nice and helpful! Already been back! Highly recommend!!

The Cod was so good-really outstanding. Outside hot and crispy and the tender fish was out of this word. The "pups" were fabulous-addictive. My husband claimed the French fries were perfect. You order at the counter-but food is delivered to your table. Someone checks on you often with an "everything ok?" Loved the service. Understand why the place has been around for 50+years.

Zeke's is pretty good. I think the food has gotten better lately actually. I always get the cod deluxe and my husband gets the cat fish deluxe. The sides use to need salt Everytime but the fries and mushrooms are better as of late. Never a bad experience and the fish always is good and seems fresh out the fryer.

We go to this restaurant as much as we can! It really reminds us of fish and chips in England. If you are looking for the real thing, this is where to go. Real batter fried cod. And Service is always friendly.

So I ordered from here, on Uber eats, and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. For someone who grew up on fish fry Friday in Wisconsin this was almost like being back home! The cod was breaded and cooked so well and so flavorful! The tarter was a great pairing, and I did the mushrooms and fries. The mushrooms were really good, but I do agree that the fries are lack luster. However, as a whole it was so delicious. I also tried the gumbo! Spend that extra amount and get the bigger portion because it's going to be gone quick. It was still steaming when I received it! It was so fresh and so tasty. If you're a fish fry Friday, or a fish any day type of person than this place is worth ordering from. Obviously I had it delivered so I can't speak on service or ambiance, but the food itself is delicious!

I love your Catfish Dinner keep the Big pieces of Catfish coming I just love that catfish I just love that catfish I just love that catfish.

Maybe not the best but definitely Good food , very nice staff and clean . Will go back

Reliable and tasty West Side spot where time seems to have stood still since the early 1970s. The cod is expertly battered and fried to a perfect crunch. The fish sandwiches are huge, and the fries are appropriately and deliciously greasy. Come hungry!

Great local spot for fried fish. I enjoyed the breaded cod more than the catfish. The catfish was good, the cod was excellent. The service was attentive and friendly, the vibe was welcoming.

I was wanting some fish and chips and decided to go to Zekes. The cod is great, it was so good that I went back to back for dinner. The sides however, are really not that good. The fries are pretty bad, no seasoning at all. The service isn't that great either, they aren't rude, they're just kinda bland. Long story short, it's great for fish but I wouldn't get their sides. 3 stars cause the cod was super good.

Short review on this one. We went there for fish and that's exactly what we got. The fish and chips were hot. They could delete the hush puppies as they were sub par. Also the pink lemonade which taste kinda like kool aid watered down. Other than that if you just want some good fish, this is your place.

Huge fried catfish piece in the one catfish plate. It was very moist.. Loved the fried zucchini too

This place is a gem and a great find! Hole in the wall vibes in the best way. I'm a fish and chips lover and recently had a very sad experience when my favorite fish and chips place in Dallas raised their prices and lessened their serving. I was in the area when I found this place and was really hoping it would be good! Pricing is definitely a win and the serving size is great. The fish itself was very good! I would say this is a more southern type of fish versus your standard english fish and chips but it was a fun change. Overall I really enjoyed this place and I'm just glad to see some decent prices for fish and chips in DFW. Super kind workers too!

Overall, a good experience! We purchased the Stubby Tub with 8 fish pieces, fries, cole slaw and hush puppies. The fish was hot, tasty and the batter had a light crunch. The fries were ok but we could have used more. The hush puppies were good and the cold slaw was delicious. We asked for ranch and they gave us extra but they forgot to include tartar sauce and eating fish without tartar sauce is a sin, lol! Again, overall it was good and we will be back to try more soon. Good job Zeke and family!

Good food and service. It's not fancy but is clean and everyone is friendly. We'll be going back.

This place is amazing. Fresh cod or catfish. I always get the cod Wonderful fried zucchini and squash the best fried. Coleslaw is on point. Fabulous atmosphere and service. A must go with fair prices.

Good solid fish and chips. Neighborhood joint. Friendly helpful service. Almost dive type environment for sure. But an institution for sure.

Seems there are new owners. Not quite the same attention to the details. I'll give the new folks another chance. Was a regular go-to on Fridays for mackerel snappers.

Had lunch for the first time at Zekes today! It was delicious! For everything being fried, there was very little grease. The mushrooms were fantastic and I don't even like mushrooms! We will definitely be back!

I never lowveld reviews but I have to on this one. I order through uber eats and I regret it. Probably the worst food I've ever had in my life. Nothing had reading seasoning on it. They must not know a little ssalt goes a long way. I'm actually offended. I'll never order again
