Mac donnaghs hell no I never understood the appeal of that chipper

Oranmore used to have the best burger and chips been a couple of years so that could have changed

jkforde · 26-08-2015 9:49pm

best bag of chips (not price, they're bloody expensive!) is the Fisherman in Salthill... luvly jubbly

Falf · 26-08-2015 10:04pm

I hav yet to try the fisherman in salthill, I think salthill fish and chips hav gone down hill a bit, it used to be nice but chips bit on greasy side lately, also vinnys on Dominic street gone down hill... Although at 3am don't think anyone would notice...

Falf · 26-08-2015 10:22pm

Kettle of fish off quey street do a nice fish and chip also...

My top 3 would be:

Nico's

Mc donnagh's

Jack Jordan's

Blast from the past thinking here, anyone remember DELL RIO'S , salthill....
That would prob be no. 1 today.... ???

Falf · 26-08-2015 10:29pm

Whats the thread about? :cool:

Anyway id say McDonaghs has improved, Kettle of Fish can be very good but can be hit and miss and Vinnies is great after the Roisin.

Giovanni's In oranmore wins hands down

Hooked do some great auld chips.
The Kebab shop on Dominic St do some strangely delicious ones (strange because they are not proper chips).
Mc Donagh's hit and miss but when they are good they are very good.

All else has disappointed me more than 2 times

Hooked.

Ate in Hooked once so far, very very good.

Notch000 · 27-08-2015 9:02am

Hooked
Salt hill Fish & chips --- best chips in galway hands down
Giovanni's Oran

27-08-2015 9:26am

Had mcdonaghs a few weeks ago, first time in years. Pretty good.

Vinnies is very good anytime I've had chips there.

The last few times I've had chips from kebab house they've not properly cooked.

Das Kitty · 27-08-2015 9:28am

I can't commit to one.

Capone's in Knocknacarra do great chips.

The Fisherman and Salthill Fish and Chips are lovely too.

This could be controversial... but I really really love Supermac's chips if they're straight from the fryer. If they're not burning hot, forget about it. But there's a magic 10-15 minutes where they're godly.

Falf · 27-08-2015 10:11am

Only thing I like in supermac's is there 5oz burger it's the only thing that tastes a bit homely.... As for the kebab house, now that's asking for trouble, got a burger in there one night and the bun was half frozen.... I'd say a good fish and chip shop were the kebab house is now would do very well... I think that kebab house has passed its time...

Falf · 27-08-2015 7:25pm

Just had a bag of chips from giovanni's in oranmore, not bad, there like vinnies on a good day... Norio's in merlin pk is good also...

Whereisgalway · 27-08-2015 9:06pm

dinneenp · 27-08-2015 10:15pm

Nicos in Claregalway do great chips, presume it's the same Nicos around Galway.

Falf · 27-08-2015 10:24pm

Yep that's it, nico's cleargalway absolutely lovely jubely....
I must say all there food is nice..

1:nico's

2:mc donnagh's

Buddy74 · 28-08-2015 7:57pm

Jack Jordans extra salt and vinegar old school chips are class

Saint_Mel · 29-08-2015 8:00am

Jack Jordans ... although they are as slow as christmas any time I was there

Falf · 29-08-2015 12:27pm

Saint, "all good things come to those that wait" freshness I think it's called, it's wat makes good chippers, not like vinnies or kebab house at 2 or 3 in the morn... All pre cooked sh😜te...

1:nico's

2:mc donnagh's

3:jack Jordan's

TerrorFirmer · 30-08-2015 6:02pm

Oslo in Salthill do unreal chips, nothing like a pint and a portion of those chips on a Sunday afternoon. Vinnies do good chips as well and out Oranmore side, Giovanni's is really good.

wintear · 30-08-2015 7:54pm

Thanks for the tip of Giovannis in Oranmore.
Best bag of chips I've had in a long while.

GekkePrutser · 31-08-2015 12:34am

Another vote for McDonnagh's here

Love the curry sauce there too.

Oslo's chips are good alright. They do a fantastic steak sandwich. Skip their 1kg bucket of wings tho. They're just fried, plain, unflavoured wings. Best wings, now that's a whole other thread.

There's some serious eating in those chips though. Had a portion yesterday for lunch and was still nicely full 3 hours later.

JillyQ · 31-08-2015 4:18pm

Salt n pepper in salthill love there chips

muppetkiller · 31-08-2015 4:58pm

Vinnys in Dominick Street are the best for me.

As for Hooked I can't see why people rate that place so highly. I live next door and have been about 5-6 times and think it's average at best. Chips are regularly undercooked too from my experience.

Falf · 31-08-2015 7:26pm

Vinnies can be hit and miss...
I must try the Oslo getting good reports on it, although not a chipper..

I was out saturday night and was back the west, I went for food after pub, tryed vinnies but it was full so I went over to the kebab house (brave move after the las time i was there) and got a chicken kebab meal, must say kebab wasn't bad at all although i wounldnt like to try there doner kebab not good from what i hear, chips i got with meal were rank preheated and full of grease, like the burger I got before, as I said before I think this place has out played its slef, a good fish & chip shop here would do well.. A gold mine I would think if the right on was there...

Whereisgalway · 31-08-2015 10:25pm

Where's the best place for ribs?

Falf · 31-08-2015 11:08pm

Ribs in chippers/takeaways, na don't think so...

Why are you quoting and question mark-ing your own post, maybe ease off the chips and/or grease.

edit: what Ben said. Strangely enough page 4 wasn't there when I posted above even though he posted it hours earlier!

Redhairedguy · 01-09-2015 10:32am

Had bacon cheese chips in Vinnie's on Saturday night. My only complaint was that after I had finished eating them, I had to fight the urge to get MOAR!!! :pac:

Falf · 01-09-2015 12:24pm

Take it easy mr Ben and mr sandman,

??? Was meaning, what do you think of my post as regards to kebab house....

As for the chips and grease, isn't this what this form is about, finding out what chipper is best in Galway....

Nice chips = less grease....

wp_rathead · 01-09-2015 12:36pm

The chips are okay there, but ye have got to get Chicken Goujons in Kettle of Fish

Must be made from fecking STALLION chickens

BunkMoreland · 01-09-2015 12:41pm

Jack Jordan's are mank. Norios are good.

Falf · 01-09-2015 1:54pm

LOL... Good one mr wp rathead, ha I wonder is it chicken...

As for Norio's, yes your spot on, there chips are great, there food is very good iv yet to get a complaint bout them,

I voted Nicko's in cleargalway the best chipper...

Basically they are massive in compared to standard Goujons
The batter on them is amazing

I got them twice Ben, both times they were made to order so can't comment on ones that were left out for a while

Ah yeah 80-90% of the time they're great,just the cupla times it happened in the three or so years I've been going there for them

Mervyn Skidmore · 01-09-2015 9:22pm

Got a bag of chips in Jack Jordan's a while back when I was passing. They were grand but it was the smallest bag of chips I've ever gotten from a chipper.

FortySeven · 01-09-2015 9:29pm

Aroma in Headford do the best chips in County Galway hands down.

dastardly00 · 01-09-2015 10:28pm

I'm going to be racking up the mileage on the car when visiting Oranmore, Claregalway and Headford for bags of chips

Best bag of chips/chipper in the city?
