Q. What type of oil does Spud use?

Q. Why does Spud charge for tartar and ketchup?
A. Since 1935, all Spud Fish and Chips locations have traditionally charged customers for sauces. We continue this tradition for several reasons; 1) To honor the 70+ year tradition, 2) We make and/or portion all of our sauces into customer-friendly containers. These are real costs that require responsible management. 3) Our philosophy is that our customers should get the high-quality products and service that they pay for. Some customers do not want sauces and are satisfied with the salt, pepper, garlic and regular vinegar, Tabasco, Johnny's Seafood Seasoning and lemon that is provided complementary. These customers should not have to incur the increased cost that would happen if the cost of sauces were added to our other menu items.
Q. Does Spud have outdoor seating?
A. We do and on any nice Kirkland day, the tables are in the front and back for you to enjoy the view of the lake.
