    I am dumbfounded by some of the recent comments on Johnny Walkers. Are we definitely talking about Mayor's Walk? I bring my kids in there for an occasional treat and every time the staff make a big fuss of the kids even though it could be a month since our last visit. And the chips are easily the best I have eaten anywhere. I rarely get a burger but it was always cooked fresh and tasted delicious. I don't recognise the place that has been lambasted on the last few pages.

    I never get burgers there, but I have seen other customers ordering them and they have been microwaved, which surprised me.

    I love their fish and their scollops, but the chips are only ok. Humdinger's are much nicer.

    Been to a couple of take away in recent weeks - Dooleys Park Road and following some good reviews The Cleaboy.

    Dooleys - my preferred of the two. Clean, good chips, middle of the road chicken fillet burger. 7/10.

    Got the same in Cleaboy. Very surprised to get an actual fillet of chicken in a bun! Good in the sense that it's probably healthier, but a poor bun and sloppy filling. Chips were grand, nothing special. 6/10.

    Had a snackbox from Brennan's beside Dunphys on New Years Eve. Absolutely divine! The chips! Top notch!

    It's a pity Emarald Isle closed up last year. Really enjoyed their Chicken Fillet Burger. The Pizza Dome which has replaced it, is a take-away which really annoys me, even from walking past it. The window is taken up with half flashing lights, and then deals on bright luminous green and yellow cards plastered all over it too.
    Compare that to the Marion chipper which doesn't need such cheap looking sights and flashing lights.

    I could be wrong, but didn't the owners of the Emerald Isle move back up to Danny's on Barrack Street, so you can still get their lovely chicken burger! :D

    No offence about Dooleys chipper,they create employment and some people love there food but when you walk into a chipper and served food in under 2 minutes you know there food is pre-cooked.there chips and burgers are terrible.however I hear there chicken fillet burgers are nice.I've no bother waiting in a chipper 10-15 minutes once I know its all cooked from fresh

    That Burrito place was quite nice I thought, good for a change from burgers and chips but also a nice meal in itself.

    Since I've moved to the Dunmore Road I wouldn't go anywhere but Humdingers. Fantastic chips.

    I'm with you there on the chips. Burgers are only ok, but the best chips by a long shot.

    Dunno. We got two meal deals last weekend, and we could only eat one of the portions of chips between the two of us. We kept one bag, and heated them up in the oven the next day.

    I've always found their chips to be more than enough. The large chip in particular was easily enough for at least 2 adults and one kid in our house.
