    Did we have a thread for business opening up in Carlow or was that post in this thread too?

    Anywho... I'm sure a mod will move my post if its in the wrong place.

    Florino's (Best Chips EVER!!!) has expanded a bit and now has a really nice seating area.
    I was in there yesterday but it doesn't seem to be in use yet. Looks like they're going to do something similiar to The Golden Grill.

    A new Asian take-away has also opened, its at the roundabout that I can never remember the name of, I think its Staplestown Rd Roundabout? Just down from Fast Eddie's at Shamrock Sq.

    They too seem to have a seating area for eating in.


    Where's that chipper your on about ShayK1? Love to give 'em a try.

    Yeah Florinos is just up across from Lidl's...in behind the garage and beside Millers(????). Between that and Ho's there is no reason to eat anywhere else.:D

    From what I can make out the new one he is talking about is beside the post ofice on staplestown road just beside the railway bridge.

    we seem to have an obsession here in the Carlow forum of talking about chippers etc.

    so I said i'd start this thread and to get it started i'm going to move in the posts already from the last week while on chippers etc..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭Stanzen


    I probably going to upset some people here but,

    I....LOVE....DOMINO'S.

    If I was really hungry I'd stop at Umberto's for a bag of chips as well (I got turned off Rocca's when they gave me a bottle of coke that was 3 month's out of date).

    For people looking for the best pizza they ever had (and like hot food) try the sizzler, with sweetcorn instead of pepperoni......unbelievable!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,163 ✭✭✭Nead21

    Seriously think ye are! The amount of chippers in town is crazy. There's only a handful of "good" restaurants here - thai, little venice, lautrecs - (I'm not gone on italian connection). I went to Florino's last night after reading this thread, wasn't great lads! Umberto's is by far the nicest so far. What really annoy's me is i can't find a nice chinese!!!

    Long time customer of the 'Golden Grill', even back to when it was the 'Wimpy' :P, and for some reason I still refer to it as the 'Wimpy' at times!! :confused:. They do a great bag of chips and a lovely bit of fish.......damn I made myself hungry now.

    Having said that though, Supermacs do a nice fish/chip box at least the chips are cut from real potatoes! I havent, nor wouldnt go near McDonalds, blaaahh :pac:

    Having recovered from my upset at the closure of the blue chippers in potato market-Umberto's now my favourite town chippers. If it's possible to go county-wide... The chippers in Leighlin and Pit Stop in Tullow (lovliest quarter pounders with raw onions!!!!!)
