It has been well over a decade since the last time I had the chance to eat at Arthur treacher's. The shame of that is that this location in Garfield heights was not a long drive from my home. I just never find myself quite on this side of town unless I am visiting Cinemark at valley view. A friend suggested meeting for dinner before a movie at Cinemark this past Thursday evening. Arthur treacher's had been a childhood staple for him and his family and he suggested we meet there.
Upon arriving into the parking lot and seeing that familiar yellow background with the union jacks flanking the logo, took me right back. Inside. The interior and overall setup was, utilitarian. It has a handful of tables if you choose to dine in but the general setup seems to be geared for take out orders. That extended to how the food is packaged up, everything is placed into take out foam containers for your order.
There were around 4 people waiting for their order when we arrived. After placing our order at the counter (the person who took my order was super friendly and helpful) we were given our order number and we took a seat. Overall it took around 8-10 minutes for our orders to come up. The kitchen was absolutely cooking everything to order so everything was extremely fresh and hot.
I ordered the fish and chicken combo meal. That came with chips, 2 pieces of fish and 2 pieces of chicken, and 2 hush puppies. I also ordered a lemon luv and coleslaw as sides. After letting things cool a little while, dove in. That first bite took me right back to my childhood. We didn't visit Treacher's often, as it was usually reserved for when we would visit sears at southland for school shopping, but I always enjoyed my experience back then. Everything was how I remembered it.
This will be a restaurant I will return to when in the area for sure moving forward. Can't believe I waited so long to return.
Excellent!! The only difference from the old days is that they served crispy fries rather than steak fries(chips). I’ll be back many times!
We just moved into North East Ohio and my husband is British, he really wanted some decent fish and chips out that wasn't over $20 at a Cleveland Irish pub that we ate at before a many years ago. He found Arthur Treacher's on Google "Fish Fry" search. When I mentioned it to my uncle that we were going to try Arthur Treacher's because they are the most well rated and reasonably priced, he said it was fast food! After researching his claim on YouTube, I was shocked to find out it was once a huge chain of fish and chip restaurants in the 1970s and 80s. Arthur Treacher was a real person too and a British actor.
The food was actually pretty good! The fish wasn't greasy. The breading was light but crisp. The fries were actually chips and the hush puppies were tasty. A three fish basket was about $11. The service was friendly. Inside the restaurant was clean. Yes, it looks like one of those hole in the wall places, Styrofoam clam shell trays and cups but don't let that image fool you! I truly got your local UK small town Chippy vibe while eating there. All they need is mushy peas and curry sauce and you have a proper British Fish and Chips shop!
Look I was so mad I couldn’t enjoy my food I drove 45 minutes to get food here they messed up my order so bad I asked for extra Russian dressing well I didn’t get any at all on my sandwich or on the side and I drove to far to even go back. Just really ruined my meal. But on a good note they remodeled and I’m guessing new owners cus she had a hard time understanding me. And chicken needed cooked longer. JS I hate leaving bad reviews but..
***Update***
I've been here twice already this year, but this time, I noticed that the fish is still a good tasting fish, but it's the size of a smash burgers and that was very disappointing
Enjoy eating here, only a store of its kind in the area. Food is good staff is great, I always get my food cook to order, due to the fact I like my fish cook just a little bit longer than normal.
GREAT FOOD. Last one left in the USA!!
Remember going to one back in the day in the late 70's/80's in my hometown of Olean NY.
It's fast food but an American icon, especially if you grew up in the 70s and 80s. Fish is crispy and stands up well to more fancy fish and chip places. Potions are good at reasonable cost.
Not the same as it was before new owners and remodel. Atmosphere was cold and unfriendly. Food was overcooked, dry, and had no taste. Used to be a hot spot for me and husband but we won’t be returning after this experience.
Cashier was very nice!
