Macleod's Fish Chips And Scottish Pub

Food was decent. Chips and mushy peas were really good. Fish itself was moist but that batter was way too thick and greasy. Just pulled it off and ate the fish by itself. Clam chowder was bland and was definitely missing salt. But the scotch egg was great. People working there were really nice. Could have been an off day so might come back

Fish chips... tastes like doughy funnel cake. Tartar sauce is abysmal. Fries are ok though. Great atmosphere and vibe!

I was visiting and had seen this place on the internet and (always hunting for proper British fish and chips) I made an effort to get a bus out to Ballard. It turned out to be happy hour.So I had the happy hour fish and chips which was great as it wasn't overly huge and reasonably priced. The fish was crispy outside,juicy inside. The chips were hot and tasty.Being British I'm not used to cold crushed peas but they did have a pleasant mint flavour. Worth a visit if you're a pub or chippy fan.

A happening pub with a decent crowd. Perfect Friday night pub. A wide variety of drinks y good vibes. Enjoyed my evening with my family.

I had read in a local newspaper of the top 10 places in Seattle to have authentic Fish and Chips. I was delighted to see Macleod in Ballard was 5 minutes from home. Friday we decided to go. They have your choice of either Cod or Halibut. Halibut being a little more expensive. We decided on Cod. Having eaten in many British pubs, restaurants and households I believe I am a good judge on not only good but authentic Fish and Chips. I was not disappointed. It was a fairly large piece of fish that was notably thicker than most restaurants serve. The breading wa crispy and fish juicy and cooked perfectly. The accompanying Chios were great as well. I ordered clam Chowder (Friday) had to. Based on a recommendation of a reviewer on Yelp. I agree that is was second best chowder in Seattle next to Pikes Place. We also had Scotch Egg hard to get right but they did, good work! Atmosphere was charming and comfortable. Our only knock would be on service. The gentleman server was more interested in talking to female server than helping us. From missing menus, not everyone getting a glass of water and a rather short attitude. So for food and good atmosphere great place. If your looking for top notch service experience then pass.
