The best chips in Tipp

Amtmann · 17-04-2011 10:03pm #1

A very important topic, this!

I nominate the chipper in Tipp Town that is just up from the small Cashel roundabout on the main street. Up until a few months ago it was in a blue and gold building, but they have moved next door since January. Delicious chips.

(Lyons in Clonmel = good but over-rated in my opinion).

I also have a soft spot for the Roma Cafe in Cahir, but that's probably only because it's my local

tippspur · 17-04-2011 10:21pm

Lyons Clonmel
Arons in Carrick,some taco chips in there.
The chipper in Clerahan is good also.
stay clear of Luigis in the the M/S shopping center in Clonmel,awful stuff.

mikemac · 17-04-2011 10:23pm

Mama's in Nenagh

Proper Italian chipper
Lots of Italian soccer players on the wall and flags

Queues out the door at lunchtime with the students. Can't be beat

There a chipper in Borriskane that do a great Battered Suasage...!!!!

Helps keep you mind off the journey through Cloughan - Ferbane which must be the worst road in ireland! Keeps me going til Kilmartins in Athlone for a Coffee and petrol top-up!!

Knowing the route well,you must love someone an awful lot to do that trek.

Oh sorry, +1 for the chipper in Ballyclerihan.

I wouldn't think much of Aarons chips, but their fish and wraps are the best.
Robertos in Carrick do great chips and chicken

I agree with you on Luigis in Clonmel, total let down!

Amtmann · 17-04-2011 11:54pm

Anyone fancy the chips out of the Emerald Garden in Clonmel (just the chips mind you)?

callaway92 · 18-04-2011 1:49am

Roma Café in Cahir

Lyons in Clonmel

Mayfair after a night out in Clonmel

DaveJac · 18-04-2011 8:55pm

Frydays in Nenagh
McBurgers in Tipp Town
Lyons in Clonmel
one in clerihan nice too had a battered mars bar one day well half one could fell the arteries clogging haha

r3nu4l · 18-04-2011 8:57pm

Another vote for Roma in Cahir here too

I'm not there very often any more but really love it when I do get chips there

JabbaTheHut · 18-04-2011 10:04pm

Can't remember the right name for it, but Enzo's in Cahir can have EXCELLENT chips, and then at other times, just OK chips. Pity it being so hit and miss.

The Roma; still don't go in there very often after that Pig that used to run it for years. I'd starve, rather than give him my money. I know he's gone a while now, but old habbits die hard.

On a side note, does anyone remember his sisters pizzaeria on Castle Streeet? Maria's Pizzaeria. Had really nice pizza's, but same attitude to the customers as her brother.

+1 for the chipper in ballyclerihan. best chips around.

Is that place not closed now ?

Thought that the whole "shopping centre" (Spar shop etc) closed a few months ago ?

no just the centra was closed, the owner of the building and the person running the centra fell out so I was told.

Good, good chips alright.
BTW the 2 developers that bought/owned/developed the whole place fell out.
I think that the guy in the Centra just couldn't afford the rent(or the increased rent) which was a shame cos it was badly needed in Clerihan.

Around what time was he there. . . . that post you made agitates me as I think I know him and he is a very nice man if it is who I'm certain it is....

I can tell you that the guy I'm talking about is not a nice man, never mind a very nice man. He was there for years. He owned the place I think. From the 80's through to the 90's he was the most arrogant, and ignorant PIG in the I've ever met. I personally know some people that worked there, and have the same thing to say about him. A lot of people worked there over the years, and I can't think of any that were like him. They were very pleasant. Maybe it's one of these you might be talking about.

He used never do pizzas, until when his sister open up her pizzeria, he started to do them. That's the kind of person he was.

I'm told he was eventually done for tax evasion, and I believe he's back in Italy now. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Ah ya, I know who your on about now..There have been 2 owners since him. Ya, you're right about the tax thing and yeah, the family is gone back to Italy!

JabbaTheHut · 19-04-2011 10:48pm

There's been two owners since then? I never knew that.

There used to be a chipper in Tipp town called Sargent Peppers, I think, and it had great chips. They even opened a branch in Cahir for a short while, a long time ago now. Are they still there in Tipp?

What's the name of that chipper that stays open til after 1am on the main street of Tipp Town? Has been used by me in the wee hours a few times. Often a rough crew hanging around outside though. Not bad as far as chippers go.

McBurgers? Just at the traffic lights

questionmark? · 22-04-2011 10:44pm

Parnell in Clonmel is mighty for chips or a battered sausage as well as the pizzas. Lyons is nice but overrated.

The Pike in Thurles aint too bad either but then again havent being near the place in about two years so dont know if its still the same.

Pepe's in Killenaule do a nice bag of chips.

That place in Clerihan is nice as well.

ormond lad · 22-04-2011 10:47pm

marios across from tesco is best in nenagh

daniels.ducks · 25-04-2011 2:27pm

the chipper in clerihan puts the chips in a plastic container which turns them all soggy
the roma in cahir has nice chips but it depends on who's serving. if the small ignorant man is in there it's not worth eating the chips because you will be so mad after the way he has treated you. the taller one of his sons is a very nice man.
what about sparky's in fethard, easily the best chipper. freshly battered cod, lovely chips, nice service.

radagast · 27-04-2011 10:31pm

You're all wrong lads, bar one. frydays is the best chipper in nenagh - and honestly I wouldn't go into Mama's to even spend a penny.

great fresh cod and chips there!!

also Nino's in Templemore, who now do potato scallops, great garlic cheese chips and great fresh cod & chips.

I have lost so much weight from not eating there anymore

archtech · 28-04-2011 11:17pm

Got a bag of chips in Miss Elle's in Clonmel, this evening and have to say they disappointed. The place looks well since it was refurbished. I'll give them another shot, but if things aren't upto the mark of the other chippers in town the next time I won't be going back a third time.

cml387 · 29-04-2011 1:40pm

If someone could define the perfect chip it might help.My suggestions:

a)NO FROZEN CHIPS! Freshly cut only.

b)Crisp on the outside,floury on the inside.

c)Served in a bag.Not in plastic or worse those McDonalds holders which are wide at the top and slender at the bottom and are deliberately designed to appear to be giving you more chips than you're actually getting.

d)Some crispy small bits at the bottom are allowed,indeed welcome.

Pity, They used to be the best in Clonmel!!

irish_stevo815 · 02-05-2011 7:28pm

For my local chipper, i'd have to say Genoa Takeaway (Enzo's) in Cahir. By far the nicest chips & pizza in town. In fact, think i might treat myself to something in a while

I'd also have to say the Parnell in clonmel, best Taco chip by far!

Enzo's are ridiculously slow..with everything, from burgers to pizzas...

also, Galileo, more expensive or not, have the nicest pizzas by far :eek:

I agree Enzos can be slow at times, but is usually worth the wait. Was down there earlier, got a curry chip and 1/4 pounder, had it in 5 minutes of ordering and it was busy enough inside there!

julyjane · 03-05-2011 11:09am

Fats in Carrick are popular too, but the long wait in there would just wreck your head.

Dunnie1982 · 03-05-2011 11:15am

Robertos in carrick, it's only open a few months but it's the only place I'll go now (not that I eat fast food often), besides fats but they aren't as nice as they used to be.

deejer · 04-05-2011 10:10pm

McBurgers is the best chipper in Tipp Town. Trust me, years of experience. Although I have not tried that Kebab place on the main street. Its not there too long though.

After that I am a big fan of Roma in the square in Thurles. That one in Cahir is nice too but cant think of the name of it.

Love McBurgers, would love a bag right now

There is a kebab house going into what used to be Nobel house saw it yesterday evening.

Is Roma the newest one in the square in Thurles? Love Mona Lisa chips in Thurles and the new place just down passed it on the way to Hayes is great can be slow but very tasty.

Haven't been in Fats in about 2 years, used to be a regular Friday night thing in this house but it just got ridiculous having to spend half the night standing there to get a bit of grub.

I

Robertos, fantastic food and good value for money. I got a dinner box there one day for €8 and it fed 4 of us

tippspur · 04-05-2011 11:50pm

What street in Carrick is Robertos?

julyjane · 04-05-2011 11:58pm

At the traffic lights, opposite the garda station/beside Xtra vision, green place.

Used to be The Far East restaurant last century

tom thum · 05-05-2011 1:31pm

Noel Drohans in Carrick when it was open was the nicest chipper in the area. No question. The chip wagon.

anfieldrd · 06-05-2011 2:26pm

Mona lisa in thurles never a let down either.

Ponster · 07-05-2011 5:32pm

Fats in Carrick get's my vote. Great chips and even better spudballs.

I used to go to the Mayfair a lot until Sparky left for Fethard so when in Clonmel I tend to go to the Parnell Grill.

antlyn · 10-05-2011 5:13pm

Has to be Lyons' at the Cashel Rd roundabout. SAVAGE!!!!

lachin · 11-05-2011 8:15pm

Fast food place in Littleton...loadsa nice crispy bits at bottom of Bag!!

The pike in Thurles is hit and miss imo.

G Luxel · 11-09-2011 3:40pm

- 10 ....I wont be going to the chipper in Ballyclerihan again.

I was charged at the counter, received the food, then when I left the premises , the manager came out to say that he had undercharged me. He asked for the full amount, which I reluctantly gave him, but I would not go there again,....even if it was the last takeaway on earth....Very bad customer service.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Undercharged by much? Did they have one of those signs saying "please check your change as mistakes cannot be rectified later"?

It does sound a bit mean if it was something like you got fish and chips and they only charged you for the fish but if it was a huge amount, like more than €10 or €20 I might understand

The best chips in Tipp
