There's a place just as you're leaving Carrick-on-Suir heading for Piltown, beside the petrol station, can't recall the name. Lovely fry ups.

Another place in New Ross, Sid's Diner, lovely fry ups, often head there on the way back from a rally

Definatly not a greasy spoon, but they do an amazing breakfast. Lindas Krusty Kitchen in Donegal Town. Plateful of 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 hash brown, 1 egg, fried potatos, beans, toast, OJ, and a tea or coffee.

Another nomination, also not a greasy spoon, some some Italian Cafe (I think) just around the corner from Lansdowne Rd. Bacon, Cumberland sausage, choice of egg, fried tomato, mushrooms, doorstop sized toast and tea/coffee/OJ.

Nyom nyom nyom.

Chips and beans are a big no no.

They do not belong in a full Irish breakfast. If they are serving a load of chips and beans it means the rest of their produce is garbage and that they are over compensating for that fact.

Run a mile.

Not in there. They had different breakfasts, small, medium etc. I think the one that included chips and beans and all the works was called the truckers breakfast, and it would feed a starving family

Cafe Sofia on Wexford St

Manhattan was the best ever, really miss that place - any know what happening or why it closed? Because it was always busy whenever open

Roma in Dundalk is class too

Ah, now.

That could never be in the greasy spoon category.

Peter Ward would not be impressed !

I'll second Gigs Place and Matt the Rashers, in fact last January I managed to do Gigs' Place after a night in Whelans, went back to someones gaff in Rathmines for a party and went to Matt's about 11 the next morning for an all day breakfast with some fried liver. Yum Yum!! :pac:

There is also an excellent greasy spoon in Robin Hood Industrial estate in Ballymount, Dublin. It's almost right opposite Musgraves Cash & Carry. Excellent food at all hours and huge portions too.

Also a place in Coolock in the industrial estate but I don't know the name, on the left as you are driving in there.

Mother Hubbards between Enfield and Kinnegad used to be great, it's gone very bad recently. Pity.
