Because its sh*t and they're saving you from a faith worse than death - although in saying that, it gets busy with the teeny boppers from BarCode at closing.

So if your in the 15-17 age bracket & find yourself langers drunk in Fairview at 3am 'tis fine.

Its not that bad during the day time. I used to work beside it and found it nice. Nicer than kfc anyway if your into that type of food. But yh i wouldnt go in to the place on a friday or sat night

I like Hillbillies too. Best fried chicken, mash potato and gravy around. I've never seen any trouble in it either. Mind you I like to either take it across the road and eat it in the park or eat it in the car.
Can't think of anywhere that does better fried chicken, I'd be interested to know where other people think is better.
Nice clean shop in my opinion.

damn you all and this thread.

Leaves to go to hill billies

Rock City dear oh dear.......I remember the days well when it used to be nicknamed "Dismal Diner" by the regulars in Smyths....

Hillbillies not too bad at all during the day, no idea how good/bad it is at night though..

I haven't noticed that offer of late Degs as they did bring in bigger sweeping deals in the last few months. I don't know if this one got the chop in order to accommodate the new ones.

Same menu just bigger bundled deals. Good prices too.

Thanks for that..i havnt been there in ages but the snackbox deal was great value..and the hot wings too *drool*

humberklog

Yeah it was a cracking deal. But the new deals are good too.



I went to school in Drumcondra and used to spend lunchtime in the Southern Fried place beside Prescotts. It's now an Abbra I think. The sauce is just the same as then. Lovely on the potatoes.

JONJO THE MISER

Oh sweet Jesus i though Hillibillies was only in Cork, i loved that place soooo much, used to have 4 snackboxes on a tuesday:o

I feel I need to protect my innocence here !

It was on a Sunday when I was a born again Christian and the girls (strict rules on hanging out with boys ) used to drive down and then onto the beach in between services!!!

Yeah that's the one....Texas fried. I think it had a few names over the years but it was called Texas during the 80's.
If I was strapped for cash it would be up to the bakery up past the Cat and Cage where they did huge hot fruit slices (by fruit they mean whatever's lying around) for 13 pence. Which would leave plenty for cigarettes.

Thunders bakery?
I lived in hollybank road and i spent my money equally between derwins offy,kennedys pub,the millmount house,quinns and some like it hot!

humberklog

Not thunders. good as it is. But there was another one further up on the next run of shops. Could be a cheese parlour now.

Il corvo restaurant..on that block..they do a great calamari starter!

Oh God, I love their Buffalo Mozzarella and Beef Tomato starter... yum yum...

davidfitz22

Texas fried chicken in crumlin has gotta be the best chicken in dublin and the best gravy too

stovelid

Finally checked it out, albeit in Clare. Damn fine gravy, must be said. Nicer than KFC.

Rej

This is the worst thread ever.... am trying to loose weight!! Killed myself with exercise today, and now am soooo tempted to blow it all and go get some chips

They do this offer on Tuesdays if my memory serves me correctly! The burger meal deals are brilliant as well.

I'm very happy to read that I have inspired a few of ye to check out the gravy - isnt it unreal! You really have to eat it fast though cos it tends to go a bit gooey if you wait too long or have a long taxi ride home!!

Oh yeah, someone mentioned Some Like It Hot. Are you mad The chips are terrible, I avoid the place like the plague... Its like they got mc donalds chips and cut them into quarters, they're so bitty and small and thin ugh, not my cup of tea.

Viva La Hillbillies!

Where exactly in Fairview is the HillBillies?

January

Across from Fairview Park, just beside the Xtravision

Masada

Its beside the that newspaper office, think it was called the "Dublin Daily" that was launched a few years ago and failed to compete with the herald. Theres an XtraVistion and a Bus stop, Smyths Pub etc there aswell. you cant miss it.

Id rather miss it though, Ive been in there a few times and thought the food was a muck.

Id rather head a few doors to to the Lotus Garden and get something nice to eat.

This thread looks to me like a commercial puff. People shouldn't be taken in by shill threads. The Mod should close it.

ronano

It's weird, there has been 3 threads today about this place - never heard of it before today.

Then, out of nowhere and for seemingly no good reason, you bump a thread that is dormant for near 3 years and dismiss th previous posters as shills...

Interesting!!!

Paparazzo

I went to Hillbillies after loads of boardsies raving about it. It was the worst fried chicken I've ever had. I love chicken wings, but the hillbilly ones were disgusting. The chicken burger was woeful too. Any bog standard chipper has better chicken and that's not saying much.

Why did you revive a 3 year old thread then!

kylith

I agree with Paparazzo; I went in there for lunch once when I worked in Fairview and I found it horrifically salty. You couldn't pay me to go back there.
