Lazy Joe’s Fish & Chips

After getting a good recommendation from a friend we hit this place up for lunch. We were the first people in for the day and it was nice and quiet, except for the TV set to politics.
The staff was friendly. I was a little bummed as the onion bloom isn’t longer offered, even though it is still on the menu. We had the fried mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. They were HUGE and tasted decent. We tried the chicken strips, cod fillet and haddock fillet. All were juicy, cooked well, but overall lacked flavor. Plan on using some sauce to flavor up your meal. Even the coleslaw was a little bland.
Let me be clear, if you need gluten free food, this may be just what you are looking for. There was nothing bad that we tried, it just could have been spiced up a little.

The food was pretty good, but the reason I’m giving the low review is the owner of the place (while we were inside eating) stood at the front door and was chain smoking. I understand everyone has the right to smoke, but he should have walked down the sidewalk away from the food. The smell of the smoke was coming into the restaurant. It was disgusting. To make it even worse, when he came in from smoking he didn’t wash his hands. So nasty! Won’t go back again.

Go here every time in Vegas! Great food & if you require Gluten Free it is even better! GF fish & chips, onion rings, etc — all those things us GF folks cannot have!!! I just saw post that it is not the same ownership so may not have GF any longer; will find out in a few weeks when we go back to Vegas.

When I placed my order here I was nervous ad I’d never eaten here before but really wanted fish and chips… Boy am I glad I went! Everything we ordered was fabulous and we will be eating here again in the near future! I’ve never been asked which fish I wanted when ordering my fish and chips — they offer three! COD, haddock and catfish! And everything is GLUTEN FREE too! Prices were more than reasonable for the quantity! Try it you won’t be sorry!

I love the fresh fried shrimp and fish here I’ve been coming here for the past month to have lunch or dinner by myself and everything is always fresh and tasty

When you get somewhere at noon for lunch and there isn’t another customer that entire time you are never sure what to think.
The batter on the fish is crisp but doesn’t really have a flavor. Food was ok. Service was ok.

I used to be a regular customer. Coming from the East Coast this was the best East Coast type of seafood you could get in Vegas. From steamers to haddock to fried clams it was the best. Unfortunately Joe the owner sold the business and the new owners and management have gotten a lower quality of seafood. It’s too bad this good little hole in the wall had to come to an end.

Was just driving by the other day and decided to stop after seeing the sign for fish and chips. My wife and I have always enjoyed fish and chips and thought this would be great opportunity to try a new restaurant.
The atmosphere was very subtle, a straight open kitchen type. Only about five to six tables. Small and quaint. It was a Saturday afternoon around 5:15 p.m. and we were the only ones there.
I was a bit surprised as to the varieties of choices on the menu. Of course everything was deep fried which is certainly not a bad thing.
We both ordered fish and chips, I got the haddock my wife got the cod. We got them to go. Bill came up to approximately $ 30. My wife put on an extra $ 6 for the tip. Bringing the bill to approximately $ 36.
The food was okay, nothing to really write home about. Fish and chips that were crispy and tasted nice.
The following day my wife reviewed her checking account only to find that there was now a $ 96 charge from lazy Joe’s. Oops, something obviously was wrong here.
On Monday morning she called and attempted to the speak with somebody that would be able to help her with the situation as it seemed as though there was an overcharged and possibly a mistake.
Only after getting the runaround for the next two days trying to get in touch with somebody who has the authority to even discuss how to correct the situation because we were told only the owner could handle that.
Finally after 4 days we contacted our bank to have the over charge removed but still provide them with the payment as we ordered. Coincidentally, one of the waitresses called us back the following day after having the charged contested and told us that she would be more than happy for us to come by and pick up our extra $ 60 that had been mistakenly charged by her.
Well the food was acceptable, maybe a little overpriced. I certainly find that the method by which the management handled the credit card over charge certainly will keep me from returning.

Came here for my PRINTED buy one get one equal or less meal coupon and was DENIED the coupon offer, simply because the owner doesn’t want to do them anymore. And the guy who rang me up isn’t the owner so it’s not his fault. Okay, well, what’s the point of putting a coupon in a coupon book if it’s not going to be honored? Hmm. Also, keep in mind that the coupon is not expired and I’m at the only location in town. Bait and switch much? Literally. Haha. I guess I’ll see how the food tastes. First impression is no Bueno so far.

In my previous review, I was bummed that the store appeared closed down over rent issues. But its back.
The quality is still there, but two complaints. no hush puppies and no all you can eat. Apparently Joe isn’t involved again.
Still, the best Fish and Chips you can get in the valley.

I’ve been here a couple times now and same experience with service every time. You have to have extreme patience for this place! Don’t come here with groceries or pets in the car! Definitely don’t come here extra hungry or the wait will stress you out! There always seems to be only one little old lady working here. She is super sweet and hard working but she has to do everything so sometimes it takes her up to 10 minutes to take your order! It then takes, on average, 20 minutes to receive your order despite eating in or getting it to go. The lady always apologizes but I think it’s a bad sign that every time I am here I see her apologizing to every single customer! I’m Australian so have eaten at my fair share of fish n chip places and this slow service isn’t the norm. The food is fine but it just is a poorly run business so isn’t worth your time nor money. Sorry «Joe» you’re not «Lazy» just slow! 2 stars because I feel bad for the lady.

I wish I could rate them properly but they have canceled both of my previous orders claiming kitchen issues. Fool me once, shame on you fool me twice, shame on me. There will not be a third time.

I REALLY wanted to love this place and come here twice a week for lunch with my kid and tell all my friends that I found a gem, then I actually ate here.
Things were bad from the beginning. We walked in and weren’t greeted by what I assume to be the owner or manager who was on his cell phone. The couple in front of us hadn’t been acknowledged either so we just waited. After a few minutes we were told that their credit card machine wasn’t working and they could only accept cash but there was an atm up the street in Walgreens. We wanted to order and come back to pay but we were urged to wait until we got back so it could be fresh. We loaded the kid up, went to Walgreens and came back only to find that the couple who had paid cash hadn’t even gotten their food yet. We ordered, I paid cash and we waited nearly 20 minutes for our food while the other couple ate.
We ordered cod and catfish both orders came with shrimp and fries. Everything was well cooked and fresh but it was all bland. After adding salt, pepper, vinegar and hot sauce to the fish it finally had enough flavor to be edible. The fries weren’t greasy but they didn’t have any crispness to them at all. My husband said he wouldn’t go back but I’m still undecided.
Perhaps if we would have been greeted, didn’t have to wait to be told about the credit card machine, would have ordered before we went to the atm, were given the change from the cash transaction as soon as I paid (had to wait for them to put change in the register) and maybe would have been compensated for our troubles (some free hush puppies would have been nice) we would come back but I’m just not sure. This was an underwhelming experience to say the least.

Lazy Joe’s is the kind of place I look out for when I want some great tasting fish with out losing my whole paycheck on the purchase. I have not been disappointed at this place for the last 2 Years which is great :)

SCREW THIS PLACE!
Bought a coupon from Corporate Perks and tried to use it here. We even printed it to avoid the issues that others reported. We decided on our order and the guy behind the counter noticed our coupon. He says in this nasty A$$hole voice, «We don’t take coupons. This is from
right? I explained that I purchased it from my corporate perks website and he didn’t care.
I mentioned that he signed up for the service and that the certificate was properly printed and presented but he didn’t care. If the guy is going to be dishonest about a marketing scheme, God only knows what else he is dishonest about…
I can promise that I won’t return and will let as many people as possible know what a jerk this dude was. I would rather go to Soul Food Café for some country catfish prepared by some nice honest people.
AVOID THIS PLACE AND THE RUDE A$$ THAT WORKS HERE!

I really don’t like leaving one stars but this place is one to be avoided! We tried to use a coupon, to which the woman refused to take because it was not printed. It clearly said «present on your mobile phone» but she was having none of it. From what I am reading, this sounds like a common thing with this place.
I actually came in because of the mediterranean menu they claimed to have, but the woman said it didn’t work so they stopped serving months ago. Well. Cool. How about taking that sign down and taking that menu off the internet? I was pretty angry at this point.
Apparently this place has a gluten free batter, which explains why it was really bad. Same batter for the fish as the moz sticks. One might think they would share this gluten free batter things with people, but I guess they wait until you’ve paid up to surprise you with tasteless food.
We gave it a chance because it was two VERY HUNGRY WOMEN and to be honest, the food was not edible. The service was terrible. And we also saw a lady handling raw fish and then touching her cell phone and touching the fish again without washing her hands. I wish I could insert humor into this review but this place just makes me sad.
Spend your money on another local business.

Had lunch there today, beer batter halibut and fires.
Fries were fresh cut and halibut was delicious.
I have been looking for a proper fish and chips place in Vegas and this is it.
I have had a craving for halibut Dow a long time and have tried a few fish and chips offerings around town and none come close to lazy joe’s. In fact,
I also met Joe who was very welcoming and obviously loved his food and business .
So if you love real fish and chips, especially halibut, check this place out.

JOE IS BACK! Joe’s famous menu is back and he’s holding down the fort! If you had a sour experience due to change in ownership, don’t fret! Joe’s back and kicking butt! Just had my favorite cod fish n chips and I couldn’t be more pleased! I’m actually sitting down with joe right now catching up! Come visit and welcome him back!

How do I start?
1. New owner. Change of management. I don’t think the new owner knows how to run a restaurant. Cook smokes outside the entrance while lady who works there was busy on her phone outside the entrance as well. They added Mediterranean food to the menu. Identity crisis?
2. The fried whole belly clams were bland. I miss the way it’s supposed to be cooked.
3. Fries were too oily. I had to press it against the napkin to get excess oil off. Maybe oil isn’t hot enough or they need to replace the oil.
So disappointed.

This is my first encounter with this place. TLDR: worth a try.
I walk in and notice a large menu which includes 3 different kinds of fish (I chose cod) oysters, clams, scallops, and not to mention gyros and other Mediterranean eating.
I decided to go with a combo which included fries, 3 hush puppies then my choosing of 2 meats. I had the fish and the clams, which I would have to say was pretty great. There wasn’t a lot of it but the 2 fish that I had were extremely good very soft and fell apart.
I had sat down and was disappointed seeing how I came in at 1230 and I was the only one there and sat on a sticky table. Like really, you didn’t have time to wipe this down? None the less, the food came out quick and it was quickly over looked.
Price wise was a little on the high end. The food definitely filled me up but for paying 19 dollars for one person and not having any left over was a bit disappointing. I got 3hush puppies, a few clams, 2 fish and some fries all together.
Honestly it’s worth the try. I don’t see myself coming back as a regular here however.
