One of the best fish & chips restaurants in Las Vegas is Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips at The LINQ Promenade on the Las Vegas Strip. This fast-casual eatery is headed by British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
The fish & chips shop is popular for its fried Alaskan cod, house-made chips using Kennebec potatoes, and signature dipping sauces including Gordon’s Tartar Sauce.
I have wanted to try all of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants in Las Vegas including his fish & chips shop. His other restaurants are Hell’s Kitchen at Caesars Palace, Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris, and Gordon Ramsay Burger at Planet Hollywood.
Though I had a disappointing meal a few days earlier at his burger restaurant, I decided to keep an open mind and head on over to The LINQ Promenade for some fish & chips.

Bold Exterior and Interior of Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips
The exterior of the restaurant was a real eye-catcher. There was bright blue paint, a large hanging fish with a painted Union Jack, and red telephone boxes as doors. I felt as if I was entering a British pub.
The interior of the restaurant was just as bold with neon lights and bright blue, red, and white walls.
On my visit, the small dining room had only a few tables and limited counter seating. Thankfully, these restrictions are gone, and inside seating has returned.
On the right side of the restaurant was a busy, open-air kitchen. While I had to wait in line, I enjoyed watching the chefs at work. It was quite the sight as the chefs battered fish, dropped chips in the fryer, and plated food.
After 10 minutes of waiting in line, I made it to the front, where I ordered with the cashier. After paying, he told me I could pick up my food from the “Pick-Up” counter near the entrance.
Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips Menu
The Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips menu was simple and straight to the point. Choose your box, type of chips, and sauces.
The boxes included fish, shrimp, lobster & shrimp, sausages, chicken, and a fish sandwich. Unsurprisingly, fish was the most popular option. There was also a secret option, the G Spot, with fish, chicken, and shrimp.
Each box included natural sea salt chips. For an extra charge, you can upgrade to one of three Dirty Chips options topped with decadent ingredients.
Finally, you had the option of two sauces. Sauces included Gordon’s Tartar, Curry & Mango, Sriracha Aioli, Southwest Ranch, Dijon Mayonnaise, and Cocktail.
You also had the option to order a la carte, including lobster, fish, shrimp, or chips.
Drink options included lemonade, tea, soft drinks, bottled water, energy drinks, beer, and shakes.
Fish & Chips Box with Two Sauces
While I love shrimp and lobster, I ordered the traditional Fish & Chips Box ($21.99) with Gordon’s Tartar and Southwest Ranch.
While not cheap, I was impressed by the amount of fish & chips packed in the box. I was getting my money’s worth. The presentation looked beautiful, which can be difficult with fried foods.
As I picked up one of the three pieces of battered, deep-fried Alaskan cod, I literally screamed in pain as the fish burned my hand. The fish could not have been fresher or hotter, coming directly out of the fryer and into the box.
I was hoping it tasted as great as it looked. And it did. The moist, flakey cod, with its fresh, salty flavor, could not have been cooked better. It was undoubtedly one of the best fish dishes I have ever had.
The thin, light, airy beer-battered crust added a crunchy texture and rich flavor to each bite without overpowering the delicate fish. I enjoyed how the breading stuck to the fish without falling apart.
As for the chips, they were disappointing. They were not soggy, but they were undercooked. With how busy the kitchen was, I understand how this could have happened.
But I felt disappointed with the chips because of the price and being a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. They just needed a few more minutes in the fryer.
You can’t have fish & chips without tartar sauce. Gordon’s Tartar, though thick and creamy, was not as crunchy as I would have liked. With that said, the sauce complemented the rich breading of the fish.
On the other hand, I found the Southwest Ranch better suited for the chips. This simple sauce of ranch dressing and chipotle was smoky and creamy. I enjoyed dunking each chip into this sauce.
Service at Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips
While I had to wait in line to order, I watched the chefs work feverishly, preparing dish after dish. Seafood was constantly being battered and dropped in the deep fryers.
I would describe the scene as controlled chaos and I appreciated the dedication and hard work of the staff.
I didn’t notice until after paying, but the cashier overcharged me for a beer, even after confirming the price. It was probably an honest mistake and not a big deal, but be sure to check your receipt.
Conclusion
The fish at Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips had to be one of the best I have ever had.
The breading was light, golden, and rich, while the cod was flaky and moist. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. On the other hand, the simple chips were disappointing and felt rushed.
That said, because of the perfectly fried fish, I would add Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips to the best fish & chips in Las Vegas. Next time, I’ll ask for my chips well done.

Had great flavor, but mine was mostly batter, and dripped with grease!! Turn off for me. Sauce good, fries ok. Very expensive!!!
April,
I find that Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants are hit-or-miss. I had a poor experience at his burger restaurant. For the prices he charges, I think this is unacceptable.
