The Codfather has received mixed reviews from customers. Some were disappointed with the lack of COVID-19 safety measures, while others praised the quality of the food and the excellent service. Groundnut oil used in cooking made the fish and chips stand out, with one customer even calling it the best they've ever had.

Overall, the restaurant seems to have a loyal customer base due to its outstanding quality, friendly staff, and reasonable prices.
