Pete's Fish & Chips
Best Fish & Chips in Mesa · AZ
An Arizona fry stand original since 1947
Pete's Fish & Chips has been a Phoenix-area drive-in institution since 1947, and its Mesa Drive stand is a beloved original. The formula is unchanged: batter-fried fish and shrimp, crinkle fries, and the signature squeeze-bottle tartar sauce, served fast and cheap.
A working-class Arizona classic passed down through the family, Pete's is the sort of no-frills fry stand generations of Mesa locals have eaten at since childhood.
