I READ ALL THE REVIEWS. I was eager to have some real fish and chips. Well on this Lenten Friday I stumbled upon the Mesa location. There were no parking spots left in the lot - the place was full as was the drive-thru line.
I managed to park on the street and patiently waited in line, ordered (2 pc fish and chips) and then awaited the product. Much to my keen disappointment - it grossly UNDERwhelmed. The coating was crunchy but the fish - the thing we all want was nowhere near 'melt in your mouth' but rather very, very dried out. I cannot understand this as considering how busy they were these were not 2 pieces which had just been sitting for an hour under a heat lamp - though that is exactly what they tasted like. I had to use every drop of the reddish-orange almost salsa 'sauce' they serve it with (no tartar sauce here) to finish the 'main course.'
The sole PLUS element were the quite tasty fries - hence the 2 stars though the fish alone deserves NONE. I have had FAR TASTIER fish at Captain D's or Long John Silver's. It was a major disappointment.
