REally,I found the staff there to be the freindliest of any chipper in Galway.Whenever I was in there I actually had a conversation with whoever served Me.It wasn't just the usual take your order,take your money and then mumble thanks.The batterd mars bar I'll admit is one of the most disgusting things I've ever tasted,although I got the nicest peice of cod in there the last day.

Well when I went in on Saturday nite the guy serving behind the counter was extremely drunk. He kept on taking orders and not giving any food out. We could see our food in its bag waiting to get to us but he wouldn't hand it over. When we eventually got it the chips were nasty and there was the tinniest piece of fish in a pile of batter. When we complained he told us and others to "f%$k off to supermacs".

oi softlad

can't believe no one has mentioned try bites in ballybane years ago, top notch scran, seeing that bastard banner at the ireland matches is like a dagger through the heart, ha ha

Nowadays, Kettle of Fish for the burgers, Eds New York Pizza for the chips, Supermacs for the chicken, Vinnies for the battered sausage, between Eds meal-for-3-deal and Monroes for the Pizza, Curry House for the chinese, Charcoal Grill for the donor, and back to Kettle of Fish for the friendly service. :P

I thought the burgers in kettle of fish where very disappointing, very small for the price didn't even fill the bun. Everything else is top notch, best chipper I've been to in Galway.

Does anyone remember the Wimpy where the celler bar is now ?
Gravy chips mmm fantastic lol.
Mind you I think I was about 8 years old at that stage, but I can still taste them mmmmm.

Other than that it's Vinnys Chips , Charcoal Grills Mixed Doner , And Supermacs Breasts of Chicken with Curry sauce..
That normally does the trick on a Saturday or Sunday morning lol.

I really like the pizzas in the Mustard Seed across from the Cornstore. They're all made fresh and they're really good quality. Someone told me that the chef is the guy that used to make the pizzas that you could get in Massimos. The homemade beefburgers that they serve there are pretty killer too. Crap, I'm hungry now!

Ahhh, the memories.

Was that not where Kettle of Fish is these days? Then it became the Toucan, then the chinese?

I remember the bags of chips from the Toucan; big brown bag full to the brim with just the right amount of salt and vinegar - the place had no furniture, and just a hole in the wall at the back where they took your order and gave you your food.

Has anybody ever come home after a night out and a delicious Supermac's and vowed you're going to eat there sober because it's so good... But it's never as tasty when you're sober. This happens me regularly!

Supermacs is very good if you get a grill order, majority of the time though its sitting there a while before you eat it.
Bridge St during the day is good for grill orders.

Breast of chicken and chips in Kettle of Fish is quality, have a craving for it now, miles ahead of McDonaghs. More expensive I think, but worth it!

I'd love a KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut in Galway. Don't know whats taking them so long to get here. A Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Doughnuts would be nice aswell

The new creperies thats there is pretty nice tho, but it dont have the grease factor!!!

Vinnies are nice but make you feel like **** after.

Charcoal Grill 'nuf said. I'd be quite partial to a Supermacs too though...

It's not like that muck needs to be banned, nobody should mention it anyway.

Madame Razz

Ya, i've never been dying about Mcdonaghs, chips are lovely but fish is way way too greasy, i feel so ill afterwards.

Conlons is really good, but that said haven't been since their swanky new renovation so dont know if its as good now.

Really like kettle of fish tho, yumyum. Charcoal grill chips are pretty crappy, and i prefer the Mary st gaff to the one on cross st i must say.

Chips in Vinnys are pretty sweet too but the staff freak me out in there!!

Nothing soothes a hangover like La Salsa tho, and man o me, their cinnamon churros are AM~AZING!!!!!

We could do witha Jackie Lennox' up here tho, the only thing I miss about Cork **slobber** Drool**

I wish there was a KFC in Galway, it's a perfect hangover cure although it gives a friend of mine really potent farts.

KFC is evil. I've only ever had one and I barfed it up right after eating it. Complete muck

anyway all multi-national restaurants like McDonalds/KFC/Burger King, even the bould supermacs should be banned from the discussion! :pac:

Anima

Actually I just remembered that la Salsa are staying open til 2 or 3 am from now on. Bit expensive but the food is quality. Great chips as well

Robbo

I've begun to suspect the last few times I've got Fish'n'chips in McDonaghs, that they aren't preparing the fish themselves anymore.

Time was when you would see them battering the fish but now it all seems to come in suspiciously uniform shapes. I still think the chips are great though.

Haven't eaten in Mc Donaghs in donkeys, the last 2-3 times i got a fish n chips in there i got more batter than fish, its totally overrated.Get Conlons on a good day and they are excellent.
