Reviews Summary

Customer Reviews

Went here today in the morning and got and kids donuts and they did no disappoint. Donuts are good a lot of variety a lot of flavors. Definitely a must hit destination. Donuts and a coffee please!!! Fresh and good maybe my new favorite donut place???? Mmmmmm? Quick and easy fast service and easy in and out. Very clean place and good decor.

The place is cute, and the service was nice. But, Pizza, definitely a zero. school pizza is better. Definitely not hand tossed. Hot wings tasted like dirty oil Cookies tasted to much like crisco Donuts could have been fresher. But a donut is a donut. Will definitely not be going back. ????

I regret the day my mom told me about this place but in a good way. If you love one stop shopping for all your sweet and fried dreams this is the place. To be honest I haven't had the foods but I have had some cakes, donuts,and shakes and have loved them all. If you trying to gain weight fast go here. It's small but they have it all.

I love them! They remind of H-Salt Fish n Chips but better. The willy wonka of donuts.

The place is good the food is good and they have lots of variety but what I really dislike and hopefully the Owner or manager changes this issue. When I order my coffee I like to prepare my own coffee they pour the creamer and sugar themselves and that?s just not good every time I go there to get coffee it?s either too sweet or too much creamer is added. Please change this!!

THIS IS A MUST GO TO PLACE. I saw DONUTS on my way back to the house and that's something I can't keep driving past. It was a terrific and wonderful surprise when I stepped inside. Very nice place to take children to and eat on the outdoor tables with umbrellas. Excellent decorations!! I had to take several pictures to be able to share with everyone just all the unique and delicious variety that is offered here.

Well, it's been a while since I felt it was worth it to lend my time and effort to Google's success without any form of compensation or reward... But I'll be damned if this place isn't worth the hit to notify the WORLD of it's magnificent existence. DOUBLE DONUT BURGER. Those three words alone should be enough to make you wonder why in heck you haven't yet slid through the doors of this colorfully (and likely trademark infringing) Homer Simpson memorabilia littered shop, far from the confines of civilizatio

Their sweet potato fries are not what you'd expect. It's dipped in a batter, and it's pretty gross. It's also NOT what it looks like on the picture in their menu, and the lady working the counter today dgaf.

This place has THE BEST BROWNIES!! Omg.. they are rich and have this thick layer of fudge icing! And HUGE! Get it w/a cup of rich vanilla ice cream.. absolutely AMAZING! It?s all I?ve ever had there ?? When I move I?m going to miss this place so much!

When I walked in, bam, there is so much to take in. I thought it was a donut place, wrong. There is so much more, but I was only there for donuts. The donuts where really fresh and tasty. I do wish there was a little more icing on the chocolate bar and maple bar and the other cake donuts.

The donuts are always good but make sure you get a Taro shake. You will love it

5 stars for the donuts the rest of the food here is garbage.

Although I enjoy the many options available at this location, the rude service provided by the staff makes my experience here disappointing. The fact that they have posted signs indicating that they do not care about their customers says it all. There is a method that may be used to communicate with your consumers in a manner that shows respect.

Really good fish and chips, and fried clams, also tried the deep fried pie. Unfortunately we went on a cold rainy day (only seating is outside) so we ate in the car. But everything was delicious, prices were fair for the portion size...

The fish was everything the reviews said it would be. And the service was amazing.

Love this place. The decor and everything is a bit of sensory overload but in the best way possible. So many choices I love it. Their giant gonut holes were just so good. Very doughy and sugary in the best amount possible. I definitely wanna try their giant punk sprinkle Homer Simpson inspired donut. Their prices are decent despite inflation all over the country too. Definitely great value and their food is tasty.

McCoys has never disappointed, tons of options and great donut selection.

I decided to cancel my order after the customer service I received. The lady's bad attitude made me feel so uneasy when I was just trying to discern whether my order was correct due to the language barrier (I speak English). I told her this was my first time eating there, and she was still so mad she had to repeat herself... man can not survive on food alone, your customer service is also required to thrive.

My order consisted of: Fish & chips 1 order egg rolls 2 large cherry Slurpees (HOT 100+ DAY) ?? 1 Half dozen (CAKE DONUTS) 4 desert, eats well with freshly brewed coffee,Yum. Sadly i had 1 ONE ISSUE, BUT HUGE ISSUE: OIL For the deep fryer needed changing immediately.

This place is fantastic! Hands down!..so much food!

Their food is so delicious, filling, and made to order. The couple who run the business are so sweet and really give you a homey type of vibe. Their selection on sweets is just plain old outrageous with variety! They have so many things, it's difficult to decide what you want. My mother and I ordered Their fish plate with zucchini instead of fries, and could barely finish it - or didn't and had a meal next day. Absolutely loved it and will definitely be going back!

cute little donut shop! don't let the name fool you! the donuts were so fresh and no they didn't taste like they were fried in fish oil ??

More of a selection that you can possibly imagine! Had fish & chips- was fantastic! & also got some assorted donuts, which were all very fresh and incredible! I can't believe i never knew this place existed until now!! The service was great too!

Got the shrimp and fish combo w/ zucchini. This location is the best! Shaded and can forget to mention, the people are wonderful! Family friendly and awesome setup! Great customer service. The reasoning behind the 3 stars is the seasoning. The food is bland. Otherwise it?s a great value for your money large portion! Give it a go! Maybe my tastebuds are different from yours.!

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Starting off with the customer service, HORRIBLE. The lady was rude for no reason at all, sarcastic and just nasty. My husband and I got the catfish plate with fries and fried zucchini. Fried zucchini was horrible(Doublz is top tier!) catfish tasted like it was fried in burnt oil. We both literally ate a half of one catfish and the fries and that was it. We ordered the tai tea and nothing was tai about it. I took the smallest sip and threw the rest away. Overall made us sic

It was a great place before, and now they've added pizza by the slice and Philly sandwiches! It's also reasonably priced.

A mostly positive review. Interesting place. I think it is quite unique. The sheer variety of products is quite crazy... fish, donuts, sandwiches, burgers, boba, pizza, funnel cakes, even chili. I love the idea of a one stop shop for every artery clogging bad decision one can think of. Prices... pretty good. Can't really complain. Especially for the huge portions you get. Massive amounts of food. Terrific if you're hungry. Many entrees are sharable in size for budget minded people. Service... so, so. T

I hate to give this place 2 stars as their donuts seem worthy of much more but since I have a tendency to review fish and chips spots, I'm generously giving them the 2nd star. If you want donuts give this place a try. If you want fish and chips...well you don't want fish and chips from here. We didn't have high hopes for great fish and chips but someone at the place mentioned they used to be a franchise and hadn't changed the fish or the batter, so we gave them a try. perhaps assuming what we were told was

I love this donut shop. Long time customer. The manager/ owner always makes sure the customer gets the fastest service in his store. The shop is always clean. The cashier is so kind. The variety of food on the menu is awesome. From the new show case of candy to the fish and special donuts. This is your one stop shop. ..not recommended for people with health problems pertaining to sugar and overweight. No punt intended.??????

The fish is almost as good as York Shore House at 1/2 the price. Owner was semi friendly, and staff (wife?) were friendly. The Fried Zucchini will burn your mouth as well as "all" the other goodies, it is Fresh and Super Hot !!! You can tell the oil used in frying is fresh and clean. I need to visit this place soon..... it ROCKS !!!

McCoy's is the most unique donut shop. Colorful decor. Great selection of your favorite donuts... I especially like the smaller sized apple fritters. They have pizza, burritos, burgers and some popular Fair Foods. Homemade jams, huge selection of drinks. I especially like their fish and chips. Generous sized fish on a bed of fries. Check it out.

Huge variety of great foods! Donuts are always awesome, cakes are phenomenal, and breakfast burrito is one of the tops on the planet and I challenge one to eat all of it! And best of all, they are great peeps.. the owner is super laid back and always a good conversation!!

I come to this place all the time and spend over $20 on food this time. I spent $25. I asked her if I could have three tartar sauce and two cocktail sauce and she said that I only get to one of each if I want anymore it was $.50 each, this will be the last time that I ever come to this place again needless to say the sauces are about a tablespoon

Completely disappointed because we drove over an hour and a 1/2 to eat at this location. We've been coming here for years... and I know that he has them stop cooking at 9:00pm we got there today right at 8:40pm and was told we cannot get anything cooked because they stopped cooking at 9:00 ?? This is a 24 hour location Anytime it would have took the grease to cool down somebody would have been on the premises making sure a fire wouldn't have happened.

Little hidden gem, full of delicious surprises. Best fish and chips in the AV. Service is great. They actually care that you're happy and satisfied with your order. Love that I can call ahead and just go in and pick up.

This is the best donut shop in the AV. Every time me and my kids go no matter what time of day it is their donuts are always fresh. The staff are always nice and welcoming.

Best donuts in Southern California! It was a Sunday afternoon and all the other donut shops came up closed...we looked online and found Donuts Fish and Chips...what a laugh we had about fish donuts but we had promised the kids donuts. To our surprise it was an awesome little shop with ALL types of food. Extremely clean and also had donuts with bacon!!! Great choice!!

love this place the donuts are huge and sweet omg. but their fish puts h. salt to shame and they used to be the golden standard for fish fry. the late night donutan she's a lil grumpyi only asked him what flavor the fritters were and his response all most made me duck thought he was gonna throw his shoe at me for real. but I oled he smiles back . all good and forgiven.

Five starsGreat DonutsSome of the best hamburgersAmazing fish and chipsAnd desserts to die forReasonable prices you will not be disappointed????Review by Tony D nightingale blve??

Don't be fooled by the small store size. This place has a very deep menu. And some of the best donuts in town. Excellent food quality served promptly... happily recommend.

Extremely brilliant concept. They have not only fish and chips as well as donuts, which by the way are light and have some chew with great flavor and sweetness. Great donuts but also cookies and home made large coffee cake. Oh yeah there are burgers which I want to try but me and my wife had the buffalo wings (nice crisp and flavor) get extra sauce. Also the surf and turf (craw fish and choped steak with corn and potatoes, Goooood. We love the atmosphere with Homer Simpson life size statue inside behind the

OMG the best biggestdonut holes u can get 14 huge donuts for 5 dollars and there super fluffy and great

This is the best fish and chips place in the AV hands down! The customer service is amazing! I am huge on customer service and I love it here. The food is amazing the owner is super creative and always has some new choices. You will love this place!

Food is fresh and tasty! I love their deep-fried fish! The only reason I don't give th is place 5 stars is because it is not really a place to sit and eat privately. Very friendly staff and a variety of food to choose.

Absolutely the best kept secret in Lancaster. Fantastic fish & chips. I usually get the jumbo shrimp, which are the best fried shrimp I've had. The prices here are also really reasonable.

Great great place. Fresh donuts and the fish and chips is the best! The only thing is it can be pretty pricey. I only come here when I want to splurge a little. Nice courteous service too.

The donuts are always good. I really love the day old donut box sale, it's a great deal!!

Based on reviews, I had high hopes for the fish n chips. I picked up my order and headed home. Even during the drive, I knew something wasn't right. You know how cooking oil smells when it's old and over used? Well, that's the smell I was getting . But, this was my dinner. Have you ever noticed the way oil doesn't crisp things when it's old and over used? Yup, that was this! The fish was dark golden in appearance, but had no crisp to it. If fact, it was rather soggy. The fries (chips) were like a lump of po

I call a guy picks up... Ask about fish and chips... Couldn't understand his answer ask to explain again.. Guy hang up on me. Still came down and bought fish and chips for my Australian wife. I was trying to get an email receipt after i pay. Lady just canceled and missed my receipt. I haven't try the food yet. It does not look like your typical donut place. Hope my wife likes the chips and fish.

This place has everything! I had a hard time deciding but I originally went for fish and chips so that's what I got....donut burger is also good. Donuts are great. Slightly pricey but delicious

I recently ordered 5 piece fish, the fish did not have its normal fresh taste. In fact, it tasted as if it was fish that had been reheated. The normally golden brown batter appeared very dark and was hard as a rock on the edges.

In comparison to other fast food menu's it is on par with with a restuarant restaurant menu the portion is generous so you get your money's worth. The owner has been their since 96 that I know of and offers quit the selection of doughnuts , pastries,mini cake's and chocolate covered treats. This mom n pop has it all and only the natives know this

I placed a order thru postmates at 6:45pm on 9/15/20 and I never received my order (yes I am getting a refund) but the fact that I called this place to to reach out to them to reach out to postmates to let them know this is unacceptable. It is now 8:23pm and I have no dinner for myself or my family and who wants to go around anywhere at this time trying to order dinner. We will have to wait again for another hour or 2 before we even get dinner. The man at this restaurant hung up the phone on me as I was let

I loved the donuts & the lady was so sweet. Awesome selection & very friendly service. It was my 1st time here. My daughter introduced me to this place. I will definitely go back again!!

Since H-Salt Fish & Chips closed down this has been my go to place ever since. Place is always clean! Always friendly! Also, has always helped me find an alternative to Fries. Without an extra cost. HIGHLY recommended!!!

In my humble opinion, this place has the best doughnuts in all of the antelope valley. Sweet, indulgent and not too greasy, unlike how some places make their doughnuts. What's also great about this place is that it's open late. Whenever me and my husband have a hankering for a 11 PM sweet treat, we just cross the street for a quick trip. If you're a huge doughnut fan and you live in the area, please visit. You won't regret it.

Store hours are incorrect ??

This place fish use to be good but now there batter they use is nasty. I was going there for years back when it was fish and chips. But I go every now and then I just cooks mines at home...Don't get me wrong the fish is hot and good but the taste I don't like.

The fish breading was too oily! I literally had oil dripping from the fish and zucchini! It was like the fish was already cooked once and then they dropped it back in the oil to cook it well done as I requested. It was not good at all and made our stomachs hurt!

Oh MY gosh Y'ALL Everything I eat is good here. The fried pickles... The donuts are so good and fun! Oh God I go at least twice a week for the pickles LOL??. Im gonna have to try the donut burger. The people are nice there too

Literally the best place for food in Lancaster... McCoy's Donut Fish and Chips!!

I have never had a bad experience with my choice of coffee. I originally requested a small vanilla coffee, ice coffee, and a plain coffee of course with 3 donuts. The vanilla coffee tasted disgusting so I had to get a hot chocolate. The ice coffee had to be re made twice. It still did not taste like coffee it was more like whip cream n milk. The regular coffee tasted horrible and had I didnt not pay with my card I would have requested a full refund. Please do not go there for coffee. On the other hand the d

Love their fish and options but at the same time it feels overwhelming. If you know what your going for and getting is best. Prices were decent and always call ahead, staff are super friendly and knowledgeable

This WAS my favorite donut spot. Until I walked in and overheard the owners husband speaking to one of his female employees. While the employee was looking for a jar of jam for a customer he?s sitting off to the side yelling at her ? use your brain mama it?s right there you?re not using your brain ? then once he goes and points out what she?s looking for her proceeds to demean her. After the employee ( clearly bothered ) goes to the back he proceeds to speak to his friends saying ? this is why they can?t ow

My first time being here very good fish n chips and good doughnuts ?? good price very good customer service

Really great food and service. They have a wide range of foods to pick from. Everything is fresh and the price is worth the portion sizes! We will be coming back again and again.

Coffee is ok, the donuts and deserts not so good. I don't think I'll try the fish and chips... There is a table or two crammed into a very small cramped area. I can't imagine trying to eat there. No worries tho, if I go back I'll get a coffee to go. No food. There are plenty of better food places near by. Don't waste time at this one.

I bought donuts there and it's disgusting they use the same old oil for everything try eating a donuts that tastes like fish.

Place advertises that it is open 24hrs a day which I thought was cool considering the shortened hours everywhere else. Was greeted by a guy who was not happy to have customers that late and didn't seem to want to help. Got a cheesecake and left. Tasted like something that came out of a can. Overall disappointed. Will not be returning.

Ok, so when I first walked into this place, I got some an interesting vibe from the workers. I shrugged it off and still ordered anyways. I had ordered a double chocolate donut and an oj. After I walked out and was already walking the street, I opened the bag, took a bite of the donut and YUCK!!! Not only did it have chocolate sprinkles (which was NOT the one I ordered), the donut itself tasted like it had been sitting there like 3 days. So, as I walked by a trash can, I promptly threw the donut AWAY!! Will

They have a little of everything here. Only place in town that sells pizza by the slice. Doughnuts are solid. So are the fish and chips. Haven't had the sandwiches but they have an awesome breakfast quesadilla that could easily be shared.

I almost purchased something from here, until I heard the Mexican men, and women employees speaking very rudely, & being racist towards some people who had walked in behind me. They were (Black) I am spanish and black, so I comprehended every cruel word that was said. Race shouldn?t matter entering a place of business. Not to mention employees were out front smoking cigarettes or whatever like it was a hang out. I immediately grabbed my children and headed out of there. I won?t be back

Never tried the fish, but the donuts are always stale, every time I have ever tried this place, sad because it's on my way to school. And good luck even getting anybody to come out from the back to sell you anything!

Fresh detail .........I'm excited to go back

This place is deceptively awesome. Donuts to die for, cakes, fish/chips, assortment of hand made deluxe candy, and cakes. Inexpensive, but not cheap, and right next to a whole lot of other shops so you can get what you want while getting what you need.

This place is very deceiving it has donuts it has fish And shrimp zucchini cotton candy ice cream the place has everything awesome place great food. The fish-and-chips are the bomb.

Best fish n chips I've had in years. They are friendly, fast and very clean. The menu includes many fun side dishes as well.

I immediately fell in love with this establishment. Anything you could ever want in one spot. The ladies are super friendly and make some of the best donuts. I will be coming back here often.

The seafood and the donuts are great. Everything else kinda has bad quality. They ladies are nice but I get a feeling that they aren't treated well. Just seems that way

OMG this is the best fish and chips place I have been, to that wasn't on the coast!! Having donuts and all different kinds of sandwiches, pizza, and I have even seen candy bacon! This place is like a tiny piece of heaven...with donuts!!

So the doughnuts were fine but what was really bad about this business is that they sold me croissants with cheese and ham for 4 dollars each and the thing taste like they had made them along time ago, the ham tasted like it had gone bad. The aftertaste that the rotten ham left was so horrible.

I have tried ALL fish restraurants in AV, and THIS place is THE BEST. I treat my neighbors EOW to FEAST-Nite, cycling thru wide variety of my favs. Last nite was The Fish Shack: 3-neighbors txted back they were HIGHLY pleased with all- Fish, fries, BEST Clam-Chowder Soup Evvvv-errrr, & a HUGE TRULY-NY-Style Cheesecake slice w/Choc icing on top! I?ve been a fan for 4-yrs. ! ! !

I got there too late and no fish but it shrugged so good and then I saw the eclairs it was so good i was in heaven I also got the biggest apple fritter I've ever seen I'll be back tomorrow to get the fish

Yuuuum. The fish and chips are really good, so is the philly cheese steak sandwich. The have a great variety of donuts, desserts, seafood and chips, hot sandwiches, burgers (including bacon cheese donut burger) and pizza!

Was looking for new donut shop, think I found one. Huge menu, donuts to burgers, to fish, can sit at a couple outdoor areas. Take out. First visit. Will see next visit.

Open 24 hours but they don't cook or serve everything 24 hours you can barely get a one day old donut if you go in after dark. Gentleman at night is rude clearly doesn't want to be there with his attitude/rude encounters and I don't know why it's even open since they're not selling 70 percent of what they even have SMH

Their sweet potato fries are NOT normal sweet potato fries. They're dipped in a batter. It's NOT what is shown on the pictures in their menu, and the lady there does not gaf. ???????

There breakfast burrito was pretty good. I also tried the ham n cheese croissant that was good too. I've always preferred when the ham and cheese is inside the dough, this ones like that ??
