    just after posting in the waffle thread and started me thinking what do you guys think is the best chipper in town. Personally I don't think that Fast Eddie's or The Golden Grill [the battered sausages in there can't be beaten :-) ]

    One of the worst though has to be the one beside the roadhouse was in there one nite after a bellyfull of beer and nearly got food poisoning from it! :(

    anyways what are your opinions?

    That place is rough. Went in there sober one night. Never again.

    Umberto's or Golden Grill for me. Or Tony's in Graigue.
    Don't rate the chips in Fast Eddies.

    Hmmm never been. Or even knew there was a chipper there. Wouldn't be up that end of town much. But sounds like it may be worth a trip..

    cashback go to floreno's you will not regret it...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,493 ✭✭✭eddiehead


    Golden Grill by i distance for me, I murder their pizzas on a regular basis, great milkshakes too. But Fast Eddies has to get a mention for his chicken fillet burgers, as do the road house for their chicken tenders.........

    wouldnt go near that pizza dante/Umberto's the toilets are always filthy(and flooded) in there

    the golden grill has always been good for chips etc but thier pizza's not the best

    and fast eddies is just that with nice PIPING HOT food served with a laugh,

    only used billy bunters a few times recently and they are closest and suit my needs very well and chips are lovely

    p.s. those little midgets can appear during humid weather as rocca's is close to the river they would suffer from these pests ot it could also be because of poor food hygiene if rubbish was not stored properly?
