The older guy with the cap and glasses (probably the owner) is very rude and made me feel embarrassed in front of other customers. He first of all, ignored me and was going to serve someone behind me in the queue. He apologised sheepishly and began to serve me awkwardly with no smile or enthusiasm. I asked for fish and chips and he gave me a tiny portion of chips and a small fish costing £6.20. I came here last time and the other gentleman was the complete opposite and served me with such nice customer service with a smile and when I asked for more chips last the gentleman was more than happy to add some chips. This guy however said no you can’t have more chips and you have to buy a separate bag. Then he said I will give you this time but don’t ask again!!!! How rude!!!!! This was one of the most embarrassing and arrogant men I have come across. If you’re going to treat me like that then I will take my custom elsewhere where people actually appreciate your custom!!!!!

Old school 90's style chip shop , trip down memory lane. I had cod and chips from here , £10 but worth every penny. Quality was exceptional, as was the portion size and customer service. Deffo will be visiting again soon

Went in this place whilst passing through the area and I’m very goad I did. This is a proper chippy! Old school tastes like it used to be 20 odd years ago. Quality ingredients, awesome taste, hygienic and staff (AZIZ) was an absolute gentleman. What a great guy and a great place! I tried a lamb donner in pitta which was 10/10. Also tried a cod and chips which also was 10/10. I have to become a regular now whenever I am in the area. TRY IT - YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED!

Ma sha Allah what a lovely brother! Went today by the off chance me and my uncle fancied some fish&chips on our way back from walsall. Went to one first unfortunately it was not halal so we left rather disappointed and continued our journey home. As we was passing we spotted Marcos and thought lets see if it’s any good, went and and greeted by warm and honourable Moroccan brother may Allah bless him! Quickly ordered a large cod and chips and kebab in pitta and let me say it was honestly a throwback to the 90’s proper old school chippy that hit the spot! The fish was mouth watering, perfect white cod with a perfect consistency of batter, crispy, flavoursome and simply delicious! The kebab was once again perfect! Hot fresh and tasty topped with freshly cut salad and drizzled in the only sauce kebab should be “hot chilli” amazing. The chips again were superb light fresh and soft a proper chip in fact one of the best ive had for a good while! Keep it up see you soon🫡

Normally their service is satisfactory. Ocassionally great but last time i went they made me wait and then asked for order, then said they have no fish. They should ask order soon as customer gets there so if its not. made they can put it too cook. I ended up just walking out!

Marcos fish bar in Birmingham is fantastic. The restaurant is a take out exclusively and is busy. The shop is kept clean and well maintained. The fish portion is generous. The photo may not look it but the large fish and chips is huge compared to even Canadian/American standards. The prices are very good as well. Chips are good and seasoned for you. After eating here I didn’t feel horrible afterwards and even the next day. That’s when you know you’ve had good fish and chips. They do not have gluten free options. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Arrived shortly after 8pm to order my usual Pie and cone of chips for £4.60. Served and asked if wanted a bag of chips, couldn't really hear the server and agreed. Usually its just a cone but I was charged for a large portion of chips with a small curry sauce, amounted to £6.40. Surprised is an understatement! Returned home and discovered the pie was nice as usual but with the chips, I was decieved and the large portion was in fact stale and solid. Forced to leave half as they were unedible. As a result, I will not be visiting again.

Been going to this chip shop for near two years, got served my what looks like to be the owners son. he asked me my order three times which I thought nothing of. I ordered 1 large fish, 1 piece of chicken and a tray of donor meat came up to £9.40 so I thought maybe he charged me more than normal so i asked. He stepped back and said " Yooo this is cod fish not penga man, what you want man!" while the other guy (seemed to be owner) knows me by face said no he's a regular don't worry. To be honest it's a shame it was a simple question seems to be like the successor for a bad reputation. I wasn't even asking about the fish but the simple check of the price! Too much arrogance in my opinion. Also the lamb donor isn't on par to what it used to be it's like they are just strands of meat and regardless of what time you go the kebab is always old never cut fresh. Thanks for reading.

I've only ever been disappointed with the food one time at Marco's, but considering I've lived around here since 1983 that isn't saying much! Food is always hot, and is just the right level of greasy. Prices aren't too bad, although they have shot up a bit in the last couple years. My main gripe is that they STILL don't accept card payments, which is the main reason I don't go there often these days. Don't want to withdraw £10 to spend £3.

We visited here after reading the reviews online of their fish and chips. It's a short bus ride from Birmingham City, and we arrived around 1:30 pm. The place is small and the staff is very helpful. We ordered Cod with a side of peas and gravy. The portion size is good, and the service was also great. I thought the price was a bit on the higher side - 12 pounds. This may be my pallet that is used to having irish fish and chips, so I found thiers a bit bland and perhaps needed more seasoning.

I went for the fish burger meal with bbq donner .... got charged nearly a tenner I was expecting greatness for that kind of pricing ... sadly the fish burger disappointed big time as they just used the fish that's been sitting the for a while so tasted very flat .... the bbq donner was nice but very small quantity maybe 5-6 strips ... chips were decent ... overall 6.5/10 could have been a lot more if they used fresh fish for the burger !!!! Expected better from a place called le codfather..... I've had to come Back and edit my review as one day later I'm experiencing symptoms of food poisoning 🤢🤢🤢🤢 and now the overall rating has changed to 2/10 sorry

I called beforehand asking if this chip shop accepts card payments, eventhough it states it does online!. I was told on the phone that they do accept card payments, however i then went into the chip shop only to be told they don’t accept card (I called 5 mins before!) When I told them that I called beforehand, I was told by the manager a ridiculous lie saying “we only accept card at certain times”, how pathetic and what a waste of time. Wonder why they don’t accept card payment?…..
