Olivers Fish & Chips

Great cod sandwich and awesome fish and chips! Good price for a good portion of food. Not something you’d expect way out here but it is definitely a diamond in the rough. The quality is better than Ivars, in my opinion, and tastes like this place should be up on Alki Beach or on the Pier in Seattle. Fresh Alaskan cod, and halibut I believe. All around a great place for the fried fish lovers, without paying premium prices.

I love this place! I never really cared for fish and chips before I ate here. Will never go anywhere else! This is one of the best places to eat in graham and it is absolutely adorable inside!

We ordered 3 of the 3 piece cod and chips and a Mac and cheese bites kids meal. All of it was great and it was all made to order so it was super hot and crispy. The fish was great quality and a good size. The only complaint I would have is that there was an odd spice somewhere in either the batter or the tarter sauce. I couldn’t figure out which one, lol. And I’m pretty sure it was cinnamon. Not bad, just odd.
The store was clean and the staff was friendly. Its a little shop so there is not much seating but it clears out fast, so if there isn’t a seat available just wait a couple minutes. Also, the menu states that the tarter is $ 3 but after we used the sauce that came with the meal we asked for more and she brought it to us free of charge.

I came here with my granddaughter it wasn’t busy at all I should’ve known??? I ordered the seafood plate… well everything kinda sucked. The oyster’ s were awful they tasted funny. the clams well what clams it was all batter??? A little expensive for what I actually got. Would’ve been worth it if it was better. I will try them one more time sometime to give them a second chance it could’ve just been a bad day.

The fish was good, clam were big, sauce was good, but they were a tad overpriced. Otherwise it’s a nice place for a quick stop for seafood in the area. Nice change from the chains. The staff are super friendly and the place is clean. Not much for seating for more than 4 though. Decent place, check it out.

Best place in Puyallup/​Graham area to get fish and chips! Friendly staff and great food!

Another hidden gem in Pierce County! Their fish is always fresh, never over cooked and generous portions. Wish they gave you more fries when you order a fish basket. They have homemade tartar sauce which is like gold. Definitely order their clam chowder! It’s currently my top 2 fave clam chowder. Staff is always friendly and the establishment is always super clean.

This afternoon we had bowls of steaming hot chowder which was very delicious as always. Olivers is our go to place for consistently delicious chowder which we’ve enjoyed there many times. Apparently they make it fresh several times a day. We think it’s the best chowder in south Pierce County, if not the entire county.
Also good are there fish and chips which we enjoy on occasion.
Very friendly good service. Also impressive is the high level of cleanliness they maintain.

We went here today for the first time and we will definitely be back! I tried their fish tacos and they were by far the best I have ever had!

The establishment décor and set up is fast food, but the prices are not. The seafood feast comes with your choice of three main items (cod, clams, oysters, prawns and scallops) with fries. The cod was burnt with very little fish to found between the layers of batter. The prawns was greasy, so you could not taste the shellfish. The small portion of ‘shoestring’ style potatoes was not worth much mention (potatoes are cheap). The oysters were still decent, but crunchy…
We also each had a cup of chowder (can you say overpriced) salty but smooth. And to top it off we had H2O. The grand total of our meal $ 32.96. I am glad we did not bring the kids or we would be broke. Not a place I will recommend due to poor good quality, preparation process and high prices.

Decided to try this place after looking at all the positive Unilocal reviews. Food was delicious and hit the spot. I got the fish tacos and my wife got the fish sandwich – yummy! Price is comparable to Ivar’s, however was more than happy to support a local business. Will definitely come back!

Fish burgers are too good! My first time going today… and it wont be my last. The best I’ve had so far, no lie!

Oh yum
Have returned many times… you wont be unhappy with this fish place.
Nice folks that wait on you, clean place.
Chowder is very good

Saw this on the Unilocal app, so decided to give them a try tonight, they have a very nice food selection, I went with the 2 piece Alaskan Cod and french fries, the fries were delicious, probably one of the best fries I’ve had in the past couple months– makes up for the fries from Chak Salk Bistro! The Cod was pretty good, and really liked their tarter sauce they have.
Wife went with their Fish Tacos and really liked them.
Their drink selection SUCKS though, wasn’t impressed with it, very small selection of Coke products, and since I dont like Coke, and they didnt even had shakes here (which I thought was odd) I went with a Root Beer, best thing they had to offer, so for that reason I could only give them 3 stars, if they had a better drink selection I would have given them 4 stars.

I’ve eaten at this place many times since it opened. The batter on the fish is always good and on the crispier side, with a unique flavor to it. The fries are extremely tasty, and are the perfect compliment to the fish. Both the Cod and the Halibut are great choices, with Halibut costing a bit more, as expected.
The fish tacos are excellent as well, quite a flavor sensation going on. The chipotle tartar is a nice twist, and goes good with fish or fries. The chowder is better than any chain restaurant fare, maybe not quite earning the «best» I’ve ever had, but certainly much better than average, and definitely in the top 5 of my favorite chowders ever.
The food is generously portioned, and we always leave satisfied to stuffed. We even call ahead for takeout and bring it home for the family to enjoy.
I agree, the location is not the best, but it’s a nice clean place, and we hope they «make it»! I know a lot of non-​fish eaters that have been introduced to this place and wholeheartedly enjoyed it and support Oliver’s.
I’m not sure what happened 2 weeks ago to some of the naysayers on Unilocal,maybe oil was too hot, maybe something was off. I’ve been here for lunch and dinner on weekdays, and dinner on weekends, and the food has always been consistently good tasting and high quality.

My husband and I enjoyed our first trip to Olivers. Im currently without a voice, so hubby ordered for both of us. He ordered «2 — 3 pc cod and chips, and 2 cups of chowder».
The chowder came out and was absolutely delicious! I love a good chowder, and I already cant wait to come back for more. After that, our meals were delivered. They brought out one two piece and one three piece. We checked our receipt, and sure enough thats how they had rung us up. Just a misunderstanding so no big deal.
The fish was delicious. Fresh, hot, moist… yummy! I enjoyed the batter, which was more of a panko type crispy batter, than a beer batter (which means it stays crispy too). The homemade tarter sauce was great, and the fries were nice and crispy (which is just how I like my fries) though hubby likes fries a little less done, so he thought they were over done. Just a matter of personal preference there.
It was a delicious meal (way better fish and fries than Ivars) and I look forward to returning!

Disappointing given the glowing reviews. The place is nice and clean, the service was prompt and courteous, pricing was on par with other fish and chips places, but the food was low grade.
The breading was fried too long, and the result was a really crisp shell around really oily fish. When I broke my fish open the oil poured out and pooled on on the paper liner of the basket. The breading was bland, and lacked seasoning. The fish seemed to be a good quality, but the way it was cooked did it no service.
They offer a house made tarter, which some people may like, it is the sweet style. I don’t care for it. We noticed after we were done eating that they also offered a dill and I believe a chipotle style tarter as well, wish we would have know that earlier.
The clam chowder was OK, but very pasty. The consistency was unusual in that it was almost like a runny frosting rather than a traditional clam chowder.
I would not eat here again, and would not recommend it to others. I am not sure if we were just unlucky and came on a bad day, and I typically will give a restaurant a second chance, especially if there are overwhelmingly positive reviews, but because this place is so far out of they way I doubt I will be back, so my first experience will be my only experience to review.
I am honestly surprise by the reviews, specifically the ones that called this place out as being better than Ivar’s… Ivars is passable, not the best, but I would never rank this place anywhere near Ivars as far as taste and quality of the product.

If I could give this place negative stars, I would.
I never write reviews but felt compelled to do so here because the current reviews are either for a different Oliver’s fish and chips, or these people have never had fish and chips before.
First huge disappointment was the fact that they were out of fried oysters. We literally drove from Seattle to eat at this place because gramma wanted fried oysters for her birthday. This place had them, I even called in advance to make sure it was a staple on their menu. Coupled with incredible reviews, it seemed like a win win… so we thought. They tell us they ran out of fried oysters and my 89 year old grandmother is extremely disappointed. They said they were sorry, but that was pretty much it. I’m thinking some free chowder for gramma would have been a nice gesture after we spent $ 75 and drove for hours to visit their establishment… specifically so gramma could have fried oysters for her birthday.
Then the food came. What a joke. The only edible thing I could fill my tummy with was the fries. The tarter sauce was sweet and had no other flavors whatsoever and the cod was as bland as a piece of cardboard.
It was crispy, and cooked ok. Lots of oil. There was just no flavor whatsoever. I went home and filled up on cereral.
I love fish and chips but I will never eat at Oliver’s ever again.
I am half tempted to dispute the charge on my credit card. I literally feel like I was robbed!

Fast service. Friendly staff. Amazing food & wayyyy better than Ivar’s. I had the fish sandwich and chips & my husband had the fish tacos with pineapple coleslaw. Flaky fish, not overcooked, great tartar sauce, & warm toasted buttered bun.
Clean restrooms, & clean restaurant in general. Love that I can see where they are making my food, not in a closed kitchen.

I read an article in the paper about this place, so I had to try it. I was not disappointed. I got the cod and chips and it was really good. I like the batter because it is not dark or super greasy. I like batters that taste light and fresh, and this is just that! My son had the kid’s fish and chips and liked that as well.
The man working the counter was nice, and the restaurant seemed really clean. I think their dog logo is adorable and it made the place seem friendly. I will be back!
